The countdown continues...30 DAYS!!!!! I decided to switch up our Epcot and Animal Kingdom days...I feel much better with my plans and I was able to get the same exact fast passes!   Now we are just waiting on our Magic Bands to ship, which should be any day!  I also ordered some decals for them tonight!  We have packed most of the things we are taking...Just waiting to pack certain shoes and our bathroom bag...I willbe so happy when we pick up the rental van because then the whole family gets to act like kids again!  




Here is the updated Itinerary with the fast passes:

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...

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.

The kids are nervous about the rides but I keep telling them how fun they are and have been pulling videos of the rides up online so they can see they are not too scary.  This has seemed to help.  They are getting more excited, even my oldest who was not entertained by the surprise when we told them earlier this summer...He now can't wait to ride the coasters.  So excited!!!!

Fast Passes and 51 days to go

The countdown continues...This is not my 1st time at Disney World. It was however my first time making fast pass reservations for the magic band.  Last time we went you got the paper ones in the park.  I was able to make all of the reservations I wanted!  We even got Elsa and Anna ones!  It was a very easy process and anyone could do it.  I like being able to plan out our day this way.  We have never really explored Adventure Land so we are planning on doing so our first full day at Magic Kingdom.  We have fast passes for Big Thunder Mt Railroad and Splash Mt in the morning.  Later in the evening we are going on Space Mt.  All 3 Mts in one day!
