It has been a life long dream to visit Disney World and I am getting close to making that a reality!!! I booked our vacation last week! I have dreamed of going to Disney World since I was a kid....(never happened) and then as an adult to take my own children. So this will be our first time to Disney for ALL of us!
It is not going to be extravagant or anything....I would have loved to spend a whole week touring Disney World and stay at the Polynesian Resort and all of that, but with a family of six, that could get really pricey....as in I would probably have to sell my house.....or a kidney.
I am proud to say we are going in May for a three night, four day stay at the Port Orleans Riverside Resort....just a standard room...we are flying.....yes! all of us! I figured since we are only going for 3 nights that driving would just be 1. dumb and 2. torture.
Since we only have 2 full days and 2 half days we are only going to the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom. Epcot and Hollywood Studios will just have to wait til next time.
Ever since I booked the trip I have been a little obsessive about the planning...stalking all websites Disney, friending all things Disney on facebook, and even buying Disney guidebooks! I am consumed! I just want to make the best out of what little time we have. I don't want to be rigid about a schedule or anything, but I want to make sure we get the most of our vacation.
They say you can make reservations 180 days in advance so I have started reserving our dinners! My princess, Maddie is one of the main reasons for actually going to Disney since she is Cinderella obsessed right now. I reserved breakfast at Cinderellas Royal Table in the Castle. Totally excited about that. All of us girls are attending that. It is pricey! I have also reserved Chef Mickey's, Tusker House, 1900 Park Fare dinner with Cinderella and friends, and a dinner at the Polynesian's 'Ohana. Lot's of character meals!
If you haven't noticed, I am super excited! I think I am more excited than the kids! and yes, the kids know we are going. I just couldn't keep it a surprise!
