Now that my teeny tiny countdown is FINALLY on, I've decided to unload my Pre-Trip Report on all of you fine people.
As some of you may, or may not, remember, my most recent trip was held off until May due to the arrival of my newest monster on October 4, 2017. We were initially going to plan for April, but the week of my daughter's birthday (May 17th) happened to be free so we decided to push it out a bit so that we can be there to celebrate the big 0-7!
The Countdown has begun!
The Easter Bunny brought each of us new ears and each of the kiddos a new Disney bathing suit and matching personalized towel.
Momma also got some ears!
Introducing Allyson (6), Liam (6m), and me, Kim!
Our rough plan as of today:
Thursday, May 10, 2018:
I'll work until 12:00pm and head to pick up both of my munchkins from school/daycare and stop at home for a bathroom break and to get into my brother's truck - he's driving us to the airport!
We'll then head to PHL (about an hour) where I'll have one bag to check and then the diaper bag and a backpack with flight nonsense (iPad, toys for the baby, etc) that we'll keep with us. Our flight is scheduled to leave at 4:35pm.
We will (hopefully) land at MCO around 7:00pm ish and then take the Magical Express to our home for just a couple of days, Art of Animation!
I've been DYING to stay here since it opened, so I figured I'd splurge a little since it's only a few days.
We'll probably have to find somewhere to eat pretty much right when we get there and will probably head right to bed.
