Will This PTR Be A Jinx? A 2nd bday "do-over" trip. Dec '12 *Update 12/7*

I'm sorry this PTR has been ULTRA lame! We've decided that we want to leave a day early for our trip so instead of getting down there next Saturday (12/15) we will be leaving on Friday morning (12/14) to get down there that afternoon! So we are officially at 7 days until we go!! I haven't even started packing yet! Ack! :scared1: This Sunday is Alex's birthday party so once I get over that hump I will be able to focus on packing yay!

So here's our trip run down real quick before I totally run out of time to tell y'all my ambitions.

12/14 - Wake up and drive down to Orlando. I'd like to be there by early afternoon so we can hit up DTD and relax. We plan on bringing our own quilts for the beds and washing the sheets once we get there and totally cleaning the room down before even bringing Alex inside. I'm not taking any chances!

12/15 - wake up whenever we feel like it and hit up EPCOT for the day with Becca! We have a 6:40pm dinner ADR at Trails End. Restaurant #1 we have never been to before.

12/16 - we will be sleeping in on this day probably too so we start off kinda slow which I'm glad for. We'll hit up DTD and have lunch with a good friend of mine from the dis and her husband at Rainforest at 1:00pm. Then we're due to go to the Christmas party with my BFF Becca and her DH at 4:00pm. We have a 7:10pm adr I believe for Tony's. Restaurant #2 that we've never been to before. Not sure how late we will stay at the party. My goal is to see the parade and fireworks so hopefully Alex will cooperate.

12/17 - ALEX'S BIRTHDAY!!!!! Depending on what time we wake up will determine where we go first. We may hit up AK for an hour or so first, we may just head over to our Ohana breakfast adr at 10:20am. We have been to Ohana before but never for breakfast so I'm counting this as Restaurant #3 we've never been to before. I can't wait to eat with Stitch!! Then we'll head over to AK for the day with Becca. After AK we'll take it easy probably back at the resort.

12/18 - This is the day I've chosen to go and visit my Grandparents in Lake Placid which is 2 hours south of Orlando. My Grandmother hasn't seen Alex since he was 6 months old and my Grandfather has never met him so we're all really excited. We were going to see them in Feb but you all know how that turned out. Once we get back to WDW we may go to a park. It just depends on what time we get back and how we feel once we get back. We might just wind up at DHS to check out the Osborne lights. Or we may wind up at EPCOT to see the fire works

12/19 - This is our full day at MK. Yesss!!! We will be eating at Kona around 6:00pm for dinner. We've never been here for dinner so Resturant #4 that we've never been to before.

12/20 - This is our full EPCOT day. We have a 3:40pm ADR at Garden Grill for the Candlelight Processional package with Trace Adkins. I'm SUPER excited about this!!! I have been to the Garden Grill before but Chris and Alex haven't so Restaurant #5 we have never been to before.

12/21 - This is our last day at the world *sniff* but we will be ending the week out at DHS. We have a dinner ADR at Mama Melrose's. Restaurant #6 that we've never been to before. Hah!

So our slow lax week has become pretty busy but I'm really excited and I'm optimistic that we are going to have a GREAT time! Christmas at WDW is my absolute favorite and I just can't wait! I have exactly 6 days at this point to get my act together and get the last things I need for this trip and get packed! I printed off my list today so I'm ready to get serious! First thing's first though, BIRTHDAY PARTY ON SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys! I'm ready to get the TR going but no time for the computer right now. Maybe I can get it going on Wednesday when I get back to work if there's not too much for me to catch up on. :)
