Long time no see, disney brothers and sisters.

The wife and I are expecting baby #3 in June and have to give her the proper introduction to the world.

Our Plan: On Christmas Eve we will drive down to my In Laws house in Orlando to stay overnight. Christmas morning the kids will get their presents... which will consist of a Disney Suitcase packed with clothing. (Mock) Tickets. As well as a few small disney themed items.

We will have breakfast with the family and then get in the car and head over to the Art of Animation resort!

We'll be staying Dec 25 - 28, with a nice christmas dinner at Be Our Guest (yeah, I can dream, can't I?)

Me, My Wife, Mackenzie (5), Jacob (2) and Charlotte (6 months!)

We just put the down payment in today... I'm quite excited!

Well, the wife and I decided that with the two of us and the 3 munchkins... the Deluxe Dining is the way to go.

Here's our plan so far:

Tuesday:
Magic Kingdom (Sister in Law, Nephew, Mother in law and Father in Law joining us)
Breakfast: At home before we leave.
Lunch: Quick Service
Dinner: Be Our Guest (HOPEFULLY.... Liberty Tree as a backup)

Wednesday:
Epcot
Breakfast: At Resort
Lunch: Akershus
Dinner: Garden Grill

Thursday:
Hollywood Studios
Breakfast: At Resort
Lunch: Quick Service (Pizza Planet!)
Dinner: T-Rex Cafe

Friday:
Magic Kingdom
Breakfast: Chef Mickey's
Lunch: Plaza
Dinner: Liberty Tree (or Be Our Guest if we didn't get in on Tuesday)

I know it's quite a bit early... but having a plan in advance allows for better execution.

:lookaroun

I'm not crazy.

All the credit actually has to go to my Wife. She knows how much I love Disney with our kids... so she thought the whole thing up and then told me to "make it happen." (she also knows I love the planning part.. clearly I have picked the right person to be with for the rest of my life.)

We still have a ways to go and we're trying not to focus too much on the trip... since baby Charlotte is only 6 weeks away.

:sohappy:

Thank you very much. Today marks exactly 1 month until Charlotte is due, so we've been focused so much on that...

We did just get a few things in the mail from Disney welcoming us back with park maps and such. Was a nice thing to get... luckily my little ones can't quite read yet so no spoiling of the surprise!

Congrats and God Bless You!!

I wouldn't take an infant, a toddler and a young kid to WDW under the best circumstances...and you're doing it at Christmas! You are like Superparents. Get yourselves a couple capes. :)

Have a great time!

Thank you very much. We don't even try hard... but one of the first things my son learned to say was Mickey (oh and he will tear down mountains if he doesnt get his early morning Mickey Mouse Clubhouse after his sister is gone to school).

Congrats and God Bless You!!

Thanks! We took Jacob when he was only 4 weeks old... so now we feel like pros. It takes a lot of patience and knowing that you're not there for you... its all for them. If they want to take 20 minutes looking at a duck (the non Donald or Daisy kind)... then that's what you do. :lol:

And... I may already have a cape... :lookaroun

A big update!

As of this morning... the trip is PAID OFF! That zero balance looks really good!

We also updated our reservations:

12/25: Be Our Guest (Christmas Dinner!)
12/26: Akershus Royal Dining (Lunch)
12/26: Garden Grill (Dinner)
12/27: Wihispering Canyon Cafe (Dinner)
12/28: Chef Mickey's (Breakfast)
12/28: Liberty Tree Tavern (Lunch)
12/28: 1900 Park Fare (Dinner)

And one last thing... my Mom decided she wanted extra pictures of my kids... so her present for me was a FujiFilm Finepix S2950 digital camera... 14 MP with 18x zoom. Not quite my dream of an SLR camera for me to really get into photography... but a step up from using my iPhone :)

67 days!
