There's No Such Thing As Too Much Planning!! - A Jan. 2015 PTR

WE'RE GOING BACK TO DISNEY!!!

Can you hear the excitement??? It's a ways off, but it's never too early to start planning, right?

You might remember us from my last Trip Report: 5 Newbies Visit the World!

The Cast of Characters:

That's me - Angie. No...not the mouse...the one in blue! This is from our 2013 dinner at Chef Mickey's. I'm an uber-planner, Disney-nut, stay-at-home mom of 3. In my free time, I make natural cleaning and personal products, am a Wellness Advocate for an essential oils company, and volunteer for my kids' school, cub scout pack, and dance studio. Yeah, I keep myself busy! But my real passion is planning for our Disney trips.

Mike, my DH of almost 15 years!! We'll be celebrating our 15th anniversary on this trip! WOW. That doesn't seem possible. He was a Disney skeptic before our last trip, but we won him over! He is a huge space nut, and an engineer so it fits, and because of that we'll add a day at Kennedy Space Center before heading to Disney. We did that on our last trip, and we all enjoyed it. But, the shuttle exhibit wasn't open yet, so we need to go back.

THE DETAILS:
While things are still up in the air a bit until we actually book, we are planning on the last week of January 2015. We like the low crowds in late January, even though we have to pull the kids out of school. We will be heading back to Art of Animation, hopefully getting a Cars Family Suite this time. We did Lion King last time, and loved it, but the kids thought the theming at the Cars area was cooler!

So, I'll keep updating with details, plans, crafts, etc. Join me in planning this adventure!
