Pre-Trip Just the Two of Us- aka the kids are grown. :(

After 18 years of trips going to Disney with our kids, it is now just going to be the two of us for the first time ever! I honestly don't know how to feel. I am still excited and know hubby and I will have a ball but I will miss my babies being with me.

With that intro,

The Players,

The dates- 5-9-5/15
Never been in May before. Hoping it does not disappoint. We wanted to go late February but welcomed a new grandbaby into the world a little early and had to cancel. He is quite cute and worth postponing. ;)

Where?
Coronado Springs! Because I do love it that much...

We became AP holders last year, knowing we wanted to go back before September of 2016, so this whole thing is kinda new.
We typically do free dining in fall and I love eating while at Disney so we did decide to go ahead and purchase the dining plan. It is cheaper for us for the places we like to eat.

Ressies are for
Cape May Cafe
O hana
Mama Melrose Fantasmic pkg.
Coral Reef
Tusker House (hoping I can get a RoL pkg, if they ever release it)
Cape May breakfast
Club Villain
We have eaten at almost everywhere there is and have faves we always do. This was a shorter trip, we are going back in August so not as many places as usual.
I have to say that at first I was kinda ticked that you can only meet Maleficent at this event, but, with that said, after seeing the reviews and videos, it looks well worth the price to me. I have tried to meet her at two different MNSSHP and did not get to. She is on the top of my character list. I am a 4 year old when it comes to characters. I am the most excited about this show!
The only event we have not gotten to see over the years is the F & G at Epcot so I am also very excited to see that.

Still feels strange to not have either of my babies going with us. I know I am going to miss them so much. Last year my daughter did not go, but I have never been without my son. The two that started this crazy Disney life, now go alone. Then again, I am just glad that we still have it to enjoy together and one day, we will all be able to go together again! Hopefully sooner than later.

Anyone with experience with May, please let me know what to expect. :)

Well, here we are 4 days away from the trip, first time ever I am not completely packed by now. Friday will be a busy day because I will not wait til we get back to see Civil War lol. So excited, but also feels so weird to be leaving both our babies. (At 21 & 18, mind you lol) We just never did anything without them, so it feels.. Weird. :-/ Excited and sad all at the same time.
