Three weeks from today!

[daniele_ut]

We will be at MHP 3 weeks from today and it's my DS's 6th birthday that day! I am so excited!! He doesn't know we're going yet, and DH doesn't share the same amount of enthusiasm, so I had to shout it out to you guys!

Our plan is to arrive late Friday morning and check in. We'll have lunch at DTD and hopefully our 2 yo DD will take a good long nap and then we'll enter the park when it is open to MHP ticket holders. We'll stay as late as we can. DD will hopefully fall asleep in the stroller at some point and DS is usually pretty good to stay up late when there is fun involved! I think he's tall enough to ride just about everything except Indy.

We'll get up early and spend all day Saturday at DL with a nap/swim break in the middle. I was planning to have breakfast bars and juice for the kids on the walk from HOJO, but I wanted to get some of those amazing pumpkin muffins for us. Those are sold somewhere at DTD, right? I want to grab some on the way in to the park.

I haven't made any dining reservations for Saturday since I think we'll want to play it by ear with the little one. I'm hankering for some gingerbread beignets, though! I'm hoping we'll see Fantasmic that night, but I don't think dh will go for the dessert package.

I just called and made a reservation for Goofy's Kitchen for breakfast on Sunday morning, since I think we are doing some things outside the parks that day. We're hoping it will be warm enough for the beach, but if not, we'll need an alternative plan for Sunday. I would happily just add a day at DL, but dh isn't as crazy about that idea as me! We'll probably have dinner at DTD and do some shopping there on Sunday evening.

I've reserved picnics for WOC on Monday. We'll spend the whole day at DCA, with a probable nap break for the 2yo. DH will probably stay with DS at the park, though, while DD naps. WOC will be the last thing we do at DLR until our next, hopefully longer, trip!

What food items do we absolutely NOT want to miss? Have I missed anything else in my planning?

We'll be there three weeks from today as well..actually we're leaving on Thursday morning at four so we can be in Anaheim by one. Our kids don't know we are going either, they think we're going to the Grand Canyon...we're just going to see how long it takes them to realize we're going the wrong way.

We'll be at the Halloween party on Friday too...we'll be the Lehi football team. We'll have five players, two referees and a cheerleader. I'm so excited, I lay awake at night just wishing it would hurry and be October 14!!

Have fun with your planning!

We are actually leaving on Thursday and planning to spend the night in Vegas. I need to visit Trader Joe's and H&M.

I'm excited that there will be other Dis folks there. We'll be on the look out. We really need to figure out costumes. Currently 2.5 yo DD really wants to be a cat, so we picked up the pink Carter's cat costumer at Costco. DS told me yesterday he wants to be a fireman - AGAIN. This would be the 3rd year in a row! I'm not sure if I should push him to choose something else or be grateful I don't have to buy another costume.

If dh and dress up, I'm leaning toward being Alice in Wonderland (the cartoon Alice).
