So we’re doing it. We’ve planned a trip to Disney. Well, Jen and all of her (free) travel planning skills have planned a trip to Disney. I was completely clueless and at her mercy. It was so easy just to say here, this is what I want now tell me the best thing to do. Fifty questions later and the trip is planned March 27th. We’ll be there five nights. We have a hopper pass and a dinner plan which I hear are both good things to have.
We’ve told the kids they are going and they are really excited. I think Scott’s sister, family and their parents are going with us. It was back and forth whether they’d go for a few days there so we invited a teenager from church to go with us. Maybe not a must now that the whole family is going but her sister works at Disney so she’ll be to see her as well as help with the kids. She’s a ton of fun so it will be fun to have her with us.
I’m generally excited about going. We’re not huge Disney fans in general, Scott gets testy in crowds and lines and it’s always iffy to be going with a large group. I sound so excited right? But I think the kids are going to be so beside themselves it will all be worth it.
The kids are going to love it!! We went in 2006 and both kids keep asking when we will go back. We were there with my parents, sister and her family (Raouf wasn’t able to join us) so we were 9 in total. The dinner plan is a great idea – make sure you plan your character meals well in advance so you can get the ones you want. The Cinderella buffet at the Grand Floridian is beautiful, and Chef Mickey’s was one of our favourites. You’ll be exhausted by the end of each day but it really is a lot of fun!
disney yayyyyy!!!
don;t give my wife any ideas tho!!
🙂
lol
Two words for you….FAST PASS!!!! It will SAVE YOUR LIFE! Especially with kids and a crowd-hating husband! Basically you can get these passes at various rides around the parks. They assign you a time to come back and skip the line! The trick is you can’t get them within 30 minutes of each other, or something like that,a nd you have to time your day around them. If you look online you can find tons of info on them and how they work. They are GREAT and will maintain your sanity!
Lindsey G.’s last blog post..What the hell are we going to do for New Years?
dude you are going to have SOOOO much fun!! I loved it last year and I hope that I will be able to go back. And I agree about the character meals. Chef Mickeys was awesome. It was my favorite place. And ditto about the fast pass. The girls are gonna love it!!
