Ok, not really, but it really feels like it.
It has actually been over 3 years since I've spent a week at Disney. With my daughter C, living in the Orlando area for two years, I did get to go to Florida to visit her at least once a season and spend a day at the parks from time to time. Both my girls and I were able to attend a Christmas party a few years ago, but it all seems like such a long time ago, too. My daughter moved back to the Midwest in August of 2024, and I haven't been back since.
I am now just 13 days away from a glorious trip with my eldest daughter, Em. This will be our second mother, daughter trip.
Who: Em and I
When: October 19 - 25
Where: Pop Century
I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed in her choice of resort. She really wanted a Skyliner resort, so I tried to talk her into Caribbean Beach, but what can I say, she has cheap taste
. I'm kidding. She just really likes it for some reason. And.... It's not a bad resort, I'm just tired of staying there.(Also, I can't undo the bold type so you're stuck with it until my next post. I'm clicking the B but nothing)
We have purchased the dining plan promotion that starts on October 20th and have 4 day park hoppers. We will have a rest day in the middle of our trip. We also decided to add an extra day to the front of our trip so we can enjoy a lazy travel day, Disney Springs, and possibly Typhoon Lagoon if we are in the mood.
Em had one more request.....
She said, "Let's Disney Bound". I'm all excited and am like "heck yeah, we're bounding to Disney". I'm old, what can I say. She then explains to me what Disney Bounding is.... So I'm dressing up like it's Halloween?. Anyway, we have each decided on 4 characters that we want to resemble. I can't believe I agreed to it, but it's things like this we do for our kids, even the adult kids.
Here are my four in no particular order.
Some are very obvious and some are a little less so. Some I'm looking forward to, and some I'm wondering what the heck I was thinking.
My job tonight is to start my lighting lane planning. With only one night at MK available due to parties and our rest day is a bit of a bummer, and I don't know if I can start buying LL on the 12th or the 13th. Since we arrive on the 19th but our first park day isn't until the 20th. Any input is welcome.
13 days!! Yeeeekk!
