I wonder how long it will be at WDW. My brother, SIL, and nephews saw it at DL in August. My nephew loved it. I'm kind of surprised actually. He's asking to see it again in Augsut.
I think it is going to be around for awhile -- at least through the end of the year, if not longer. My two would probably really like it.
How many KP missions is Connor interested in doing this year?
Maybe you can get a different adult beverage for each mission. Drinking around the World with KP
Connor would probably do them all again if he could, but I am putting the limit on three -- the three he hasn't done yet.
I don't know how effective I would be in helping fight evil with three drinks in me, but I know I would be a much more laidback mom!
wow.....you know when my birthday is? i'm impressed!

i probably told you that you were arriving on my birthday and have just forgotten i told you. either that or you have an amazing memory. or both!
I remember it being the day after Chelsea's so it is easy for me to remember.

I also remember how your due date is September 20th (right?) because that's the day after Connor's birthday.
i'm just really hoping they don't do it this summer and then that's the end of it. even if by some miracle i win the lottery and get to go to disney world this summer, i still wouldn't get to ride ToT seeing as i'm almost 6 months pregnant now and am due in september.
My gut feeling is that all of this (with maybe the exception of the fireworks) will be around for longer than just this summer. I have a hard time believing Disney would install new effects at the ToT and ship a parade all the way out from California just for ten weeks.
Great plans Jackie!!
I hope you do get to Tutto. We have been twice now & it is so good!! Of course Italian is my favorite food so there you go.
Charles and I loved our meal there in October, so I would like to head back there.
I do not blame you for not doing the dining plan. DH & I did DxDp this last trip & I do not know what I was thinking

It was WAY too much food & I feel like we spent most of our time eating instead of being in the parks. We will never do it again. I do not mind the regular dining plan so much but with your Connor eating chicken nuggets I would not do it either. My 2 DS's are 21 & 17 so they EAT!!
I really hope we end up saving money not doing the dining plan. If we don't, I will probably kick myself for not going ahead and having it. I do like the prospect of the freedom to order what we want off the menus though.
Where we stayed at the Beach Club we did go to Beaches & Cream but no one got the Kitchen Sink while we were there & I was watching in case someone did. I did not want to eat too much while we were there as we had an ADR for Narcoosess's later on.
I think if we do Beaches and Cream, it will be a meal all unto itself.
Wow! Only 6 weeks left!! Awesome
LOVE your list! Can't wait to see pics of the Electrical Parade!!
Thanks!

I can't wait to be there watching the parade!!!
Oh, and I had fun with ribbon and my trip binder yesterday!
Great "Wishes" list! I hope having a DIS meet will also make it's way on to that list
Without a doubt!!!
The more I hear about how much you love the MSEP, the more excited I get for it!!
I don't know if you read Lynn5700's trip reports or not, but she is down there right now and saw the parade last night. She posted on Facebook that it blows Spectro away!!! It made me so happy to see that because I always worry that I will hype something up too much and then, people will be like, "What was the big deal?"
where have I been (oh yeah down in your neck of the woods...how did I miss this....
CONGRATS on going back to Disney again...I can't believe your kids even needed convincing....does that actually happen (kids don't wnat to go)?
so I may be out of it...since I'm like the last Diser to find out CP and crew are going to Disney...but I thought the reason why it was orginally scratched was because of $ but the beach thing would have been more anyways...
oh well, I'm just glad you are going and can't wait to read along as you re-plan and especially when you get back to hear all about the MSELParade...what fun.
love the non-edible wishes...very cool stuff you got listed...so what is this about new nighttime special effects on ToT? that sounds fun...even though I'm the only one in my family who will go on...
be back for more...
J~
Hi, Julie! How was your trip to the ATL?
Well, when I first started planning the trip to Hilton Head, I was thinking it would be cheaper because of the money we would save on activities, eating out, and driving. When I started running numbers, I realized it would really end up being about the same. Really, we will probably end up spending more at Disney just because it's Disney, but we will get a longer vacation, and I think it will be more fun.
I am not sure exactly what the new ToT special effects are -- all I have been able to find is something about new nighttime effects and a new drop sequence. I will have Charles and Chelsea report back on it.
Love the list, Jackie!
Thanks, Michelle! I had fun putting it together.
Great list! I think you picked some perfect highlights for the trip! I will just take your list thank you very much! I can't wait for the night entertainment, and I am curious about Sum of all Thrills @ Epcot. We didn't get a chance to check it out at xmas or in Feb. But this summer we should have time. Ah yes, the Giraffes!!!

AND YES. Kim is much more tolerable with a slushie.
Borrow away!

You can borrow the edible version I am going to make later this week, too!
I am really excited about all the nighttime entertainment. I love all the parks at night!
I hope they still have that Cosmo slushie machine in France -- that's the one I want while Connor saves the world.
