So this week's date was planning for our Disney vacation. We are going in 7+ months. But we need to book at the 180 day mark so we can book characters dinners and other meals. I've heard even the regular dining reservations can fill up. Although the vacation is still a while a way, I was starting to get stressed. So Dave and I got some books out of the library. We also fired up the desktop computer and the laptop at the same time to compare hotels. We figured out where we want to stay and when we want to go. We also figured out the character meals we want to attend. We haven't booked yet. We are still searching for the best deals but I feel like we have a plan. We looked at the books together and both proclaimed that we can't wait to go.
We can't wait to see everyone!

This is date 29 out of 52 for us. Go to Simply Modern Mom to join in on the fun.

We've been trying to plan a Disney trip for the last two years, but it just hasn't worked out for us yet. Maybe someday! I hope you guys have a great time!

If you are a smoker check out the Best Western Gateway in Orlando.

We went to Universal this summer but haven't been to Disney since 01.

I was lucky enough to have my mother take her daughters and all grandchilden to Disney about 3 years ago, but it is on my list to start saving for again because Shelby was too young to remember all of it. I love your cute one on the swing!

I love the carefree moments of children...it makes me relax and think about the things that are truly important!

Sukhmandir Kaur said...

Swinging can be magical. She looks so far away as though she's flown off in spirit. Your kids look just like you guys so cute!

I've lost all articulation apparently, but I love the swing photo. Ok. There, I said it.

Which character dinners are you going to do? I've done many of them and I love those!

Best kept secrets?

1. Ridemax.com You put in the date of your visit and list out the rides you want to ride and then the site gives you a ride schedule-- with the amount of time you can expect to wait for each ride. We just got back, and when we followed our "Schedule" we didn't wait in ANY LINES! It also tells you all the "secrets" and short cuts around the park! Best $15 bucks ever spent!

2. Ride Exchange. It works just like a Fast Pass - and gets 2 people on the ride. So as long as you have a stroller you send your peeps on the ride, and then when they get off, you turn around and get right back on. BRILLIANT!

Have fun and Happy Wordless Wednesday!
