I just give Disney a rest for a while. After a month or so, I'll work on our Disney scrapbook while listening to Disney music. Then I'll get back on the forums, watch YouTube videos of resorts & rides, & start planning another trip in my head, whether or not we have an actual trip planned or...
YouTube, forums, schedule ADRs, make a loose touring plan, saving spending money for the trip, listening to WDW music on Live365----then at some point I just let go because if I don't, I'll have nightmare about all the things that could go wrong!
Splash Mountain. First Trip: DH didn't want to get wet, so we didn't ride. Second Trip: We chose one day to wear swimsuits under our clothes & DH wore his swim trunks just to ride Splash Mtn. The ride was down all morning! Maybe next time...
We've been twice as a family: 2010 for DD's 5th birthday, & 2013. DH decided we will go every five years from now on for DD's "fives" birthdays. That means we get to go back 2015 for her 10th birthday! It gives us something to look forward too! We immediately started a WDW trip change bucket...
We left Tusker House breakfast, turned around & DD (age 5) was not with us! We immediately looked around & she was looking at something nearby, going left when we turned right. She was never "lost", but we were starting to panic.
On our first trip, we couldn't get a FP at a good time for us until the last morning. There before rope drop & still had FP time for 1.5 hr. later. It was a good ride, but not worth the 1.5-2 hr. posted waits. We only had one FP last trip, for Soarin.
We'd go on a different vacaction for a week. Any difference in what we would have spent at WDW would go toward paying other debts. This is what we do on the years we don't go to WDW.
We were in Cat 2, on the right as you are looking at the stage. We were near a pole, so one of our friends probably didn't have the best view. We all had a great time.
Don't be jealous---we did deluxe on our first trip & paid for it for years afterward. We did moderate the second time & paid it off quickly! Our next trip will be value & we hope to have it paid for before we get there (cash & gc saved up for food & souvies). I have one thing on my bucket...
June 2010, first day of our first family WDW trip, at Chef Mickey's for dinner. CM will always be special to us. We were able to go again on our second trip October 13. Three families were to go on the trip, but we weren't going to re-do any TS meals from the first trip. One family...
Be sure the CM that takes the cc number actually enters it in the system. We were embarassed twice on our last trip when we tried to use our KTTW & were told we had reached our limit. We hadn't even used it yet! We always take a little cash to the parks with us, but that day we had used it. I...
Yeah, it's rough! DH was out in the deep, next to the big wave, & lost his Oakley's. He looked around & saw another man grab them & was able to get them back. DD & I stayed in the shallow part. We both ended up with scraped knees & the top of my one piece suit was pushed down. I'm sure...
I come here to keep up with the changes so I'll be prepared for my next trip, whenever that might be. Went went to WDW in June 2010, CR, TPV, Atrium Club Level, with park hopper, water park & more option, & Deluxe dining, every character meal WDW had except one. He said this would be our only...
