Hi guys! Long time lurker (very long time, like years long) first time poster! I am so excited to finally be joining this community for realsies now!
The main reason is because I am planning my trip (for this VERY month) but I have reached a roadblock, and I wanted to turn to this for some help.
I am going to Disney in 2 weeks with my mom and dad to celebrate my moms 50th birthday. My mom and I have had a strained relationship at times, but we have gotten much closer recently, so we are both really excited for this trip. I know (literally) millions of people celebrate a birthday in Disney each year, but I am really looking to make this trip absolutely outstanding for my mom. My dad and I have both been saving up for the last few months, so we definitely have some room to play around money wise.
Here's the lineup of things we have scheduled so far.
Dining:
Plaza Restaurant (on arrival day for an easy/cheap dinner)
Chefs de France (one of her favorites)
Flying Fish (it's Friday in Lent and IMHO the 2nd best restaurant at Disney -behind V&As of course)
Le Cellier (my mom's absolute favorite restaurant in the world)
Crystal Palace (Also one of her favorites)
We've already ordered a cake to be delivered to Le Cellier for her birthday, and we've told them that it is her birthday.
Other plans:
Carriage ride at POR (she loves carriage rides, and we're at POFQ)
Deliveries from Disney floral
Wishes Fireworks cruise.
We also added Memory Maker - something we've never done before, so we can finally have some good family photos!!
We've ruled out watersports and dinner at V&A... ideally we'd like to do something that won't take too long. It's already a short trip and we've got a lot of things planned.
Some info about my mom:
She's not HUGE into thrills but is generally willing to try anything once.
She's doesn't know too much about Disney movies (especially 90s Renaissance movies... though I'm trying to change that LOL), but she does love history!
She doesn't particularly like the Animal Kingdom.
So please, help me out!!!
Have you ever been surprsied by anything on your trip that really enhanced the experience?
Can you think of any activities/experiences that I haven't mentioned that she would possibly really enjoy?
Thank you so much in advance!!
Now let's just pray she isn't also a lurker on these forums
