Hey, I'm Sheena! Nice to meet ya!
I'm a 29 year old SAHM who has NEVER been to Disney..sigh...
But, no worries...we are FINALLY headed to the one place Ive been wanting to go to after 2 cancellations!!
Well everything is booked, paid for, and we are just playing the waiting game at this point. Cant wait to book our Fastpasses in 2 weeks!!!
List of Characters:
My Family hails from the Philadelphia Suburbs and have been to many places including Florida, London and Romania!!
Me: Sheena, 29. I'm Nila. Notice my title...my fvorite line from the Lion King..." Man, I hate Dangling". Makes me laugh every time!
Dh- Steve, 34 (He has never been either). He's my Simba and we've been married 9 years!!
DD: Issy, 7. Smart, Funny and the type-A Big Sister!! She is counting down the days and cant wait to get on an airplane.
DS: Ethan, 3 aka E-Man: Your typical boy!! Loves to run, play, eat pizza and play his drums!!
DS: Nick, 1 aka Little Hercules: Loves to laugh, EAT, climb the stairs...and did I mention EAT!! He's the baby and he knows it!
Now, for the particulars....
)
Who: The Begley's + my MIL who is seriously the BEST, sweetest MIL a girl could ask for!!
What: Our 1st DISNEY Trip!!!!
When: 11 Glorious Days & 10 spectacular nights!! August 20th-30th, 2014!!! 76 days left!!!!
Where: We are spending our first 3 nights at the Poly Club Level as a 30th Birthday present for me! the remaining 7 nights will be at townhouse with a private pool for $579 for the week! Yes, you read that right, $579 for the week!!! It was a special that I booked in February of 2013! It was too good of a deal to past up!!
Why: Ive always wanted to go to Disney! Its like a rite of passage for me! My mother couldn't afford to take us growing up and its something Ive always wanted my children to experience. I may very well cry when I see the castle!
Some Background Info: Ive been researching Disney Info like a made woman!! I think I could get a degree, if there was one offered for Disney...LOL. Also, We booked the Poly through a TA who got us an AWESOME rate of $230 a night for 5 of us (its 6 really but we dont pay for Nick) at the Poly CL!! That includes our tickets (4 days + water park), and 2 extra fastpasses given to us each day we visit (in addition to the 3 Disney provides) for staying at least 3 days at Club Level during construction. It was VERY nice of the folks at Poly Club Level to do that for us!
So Let's get to the Itinerary..shall we!!
Wednesday, Aug. 20th- Flights out of PHL via Southwest at 10:10am. We paid for Early Boarding so we could all sit together. Its wouldve been nice to get an earlier flight but I wanted the kids to wake up during their normal times 7:30am. We will have a limo service coming to pick us up and take us to the airport! Getting this vacation started right!!! We land at 12:50pm and have rented a van. We rather have our own transportation than ride the Disney buses. After getting the van, we plan to stop for lunch at Chick-fil la! After lunch, head to Target for some snacks/drinks, then check into the Poly! We hope to get settled before our ADR at the Grand Flordian Cafe (we were booked at Ohana but with the menu being changed, we decided to cancel). After dinner, just explore Grand Floridan/Poly and get in our jammies and head to the Lougne for desserts/drinks and FIREWORKS!!! Then off to bed for an early start the next day! Morning EMH at Magic Kingdom!!!
....will be back in a little bit...its 5:15 and kids gotta eat...LOL.
