Disney Itinerary So Far!

Wow!  Let me start off by saying I didn't think we were going to go to Disney this year! God blessed us for sure!  My hubby got raises at both jobs and was able to  work more at the 2nd one so we could go since its summer and the restaurant gets super busy then.  Not only that but my mom gets to go!  Her father who passed away on Halloween of 2011 made us go even though he was terribly ill and dying.  This is a trip to remember him as well as celebrate being with my hubby for 11 years!  Now on to the part I've been promising...

Oct 27th
We are leaving around dinner the night before we are due to be at Disney.  Google maps estimates the drive to be 14 hours, but I think its more like 17 from the last time we drove.
Oct 28th
Arrive at Disney around noon to 3. Check in. Take everything to our rooms and have a dinner in the food court.  Then go to the pools to wear the kids out from being couped up in the car and get to bed by 9...
Oct 29th
No where to be till around 11 when we head to Downtown Disney.  Have lunch and get our shopping done.  We plan on getting our faces painted for MNSSHP while we are there.  Then head back to get my daughter in her Halloween dress and got to the PARTAY!!! lol...

Oct 30
Magic Kingdom day!
We have to be up bright and early for our breakfast at the Kona Cafe located at the Poly! It is at 7:30. I don't know if I'm getting Tonga toast or the Macadamia Pineapple Pancakes...Magic Kingdom opens at 9am so we will make it to our first ever rope drop!  Fast pass info to come...
Oct 31
Epcot day!!!  Food and wine festival here we come!  We can't wait..I also LOVE the Mexico Pavilion.  It's beautiful and has a lot of art work and things that I like.  I especially like the jewelry boxes...Fast pass info to come...
Nov 1st
Animal Kingdom day!  We are going to spend the day here with the kids...I can't wait to ride Kilimanjaro's Safari and Expedition Everest.  I haven't rode the coaster yet because last time we went I was prego!  We also LOVE the Lion King show!  I hope the bird show is going on as well..If its like it was when I was a teenager I will be happy!  Finding Nemo is also on out to do list along with It's Tough to be a Bug! I love the kids reaction to that one!  The after we are done there we are leaving the kids with my mom!  Date night Disney style...We are hoping to go to Hollywood Studios after our dinner at Boma...Maybe before if we leave A.K before a certain time.  We have never been to Boma so I am looking forward to trying something new.
Nov 2nd
Last day at the parks.  No better way to end it than going to Magic Kingdom!  We have Be Our Guest reservations for breakfast at 9:20.  My daughter is SUPER excited to say the least.  Then we are just going to hang out here til we feel like going back to the hotel for our nightly swim and head to bed.
Nov 3rd
Heading home unfortunately.  Won't arrive til late tonight/early tomorrow...

I will update this itinerary as I make fast passes and it gets closer to our departure date...I am super excited and can;t wait!

Disney World Update

So we paid off our trip and have bought our Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets!  FYI Halloween night is sold out.  My mom and brother-in-law are now joining us as well!  My kids are even more excited!  I have been trying to get them super exited about the trip by showing them rides and such.  My oldest is just chill like yeah whatever...I think he is excited but trying to be cool about it..I love the rides at Disney...I am trying to talk him into riding Space Mountain with me.  He is more excited for Kahli River Rapids...My dd is excited for the shows and wants to get to be in one!  She is my child who will break out in song and dance in the middle of the grocery store about the food we are buying.  My youngest is excited to meet Mickey and the gang.  Mickey is his all time favorite!

We are having breakfast at Kona cafe to explore a new resort one morning.  My daughter is excited for out breakfast at Be Our Guest!  I can't believe I managed to get a reservation for 7 there.  My hubby and I are also going to have a date night at Boma!  I love tying new foods and we get a 10% discount with my Disney visa!  We are still trying to decide on 2 cars or one mini van for our trip down. Probably the minivan.  The trip isn't til October and I already have the kids clothes together!  I am still working on what I am taking.  I know we are bringing lots of bottled water and snacks.  We have changed our plans on when we are leaving.  We are leaving the night before around dinner time now.  We are trying to avoid traffic in ATL.   Once we get our Magic Bands and MNSSHP tickets and all of our trip info I will post about Disney again...  I'll be updating on our home school situation this week too.
