Pre-Trip Mom are you really going to make me spend my birthday in the car?

The answer to that is yes if you want to go to Disney with us.
Let me start at the beginning just over a year ago. We decided to go back to Disney and thought a trip arriving on August 3rd would work best for out schedule. Well due to some good luck we were able to extend our trip but it had to be at the beginning of the trip. So We're leaving out the door before 6am on July 30th. My baby's birthday.
For those who don't know it's us again me the mom Figgy to my friends here, my dh who is almost at his goal weight for the trip, and our 2 boys M who's autistic and doesn't like me talking about him and my baby and assistant planner, fellow Disney junkie who's 14th birthday is driving day.
The plan is to be out the door and drive to the Daytona area to get a good night's sleep before heading to DTD. We always spend a bit of time at DTD on our way in to get in the Disney mood stretch our legs and maybe a stop in WOD and Basin. This time we're going to stop in at guest services to get a birthday button for my ds. Plan A was to have lunch at T Rex but my dh now has to eat gluten free we're going to check out D Luxe Burger instead. After lunch it's check in at SOG and if it's sunny some swimming and then maybe the monorail hop. Even if we don't do the hop we'll at least walk over to Poly because I'm sure a Lapu will be calling my name by then LOL

Your plans look great! Do you sell your ear headbands? Or have you posted somewhere before how you make them, I'd love to try that for DD and I.

There are directions on youtube. I do sell crafts locally but not ears, maybe I'll make some extra and see how it goes when I get back

Monday August 1st we'll be up bright and early to be at AK for morning EMH, the plan EE and the safari and whatever else we can squeeze in until somewhere between 10 and 11 because we're hopping to DHS for luch at MM and our fps there. TOT, RNRC and ST. I'll be wearing my ears and View attachment 149869 With a black skirt. I wish I had thought to use an iron on for the shirt like @Songbird76 did for hers. I did it back when it was cold and I had sliver fabric paint and some shelf liner.

It's super cute!! I wish we had a real bow for DD's!

Day 14 and I'm getting a bit misty just thinking about it. This will be our last Disney park day and we're going out with a bang. The day will start with a PPO breakfast at CP and we'll do whatever we might have missed or repeat a few of our favorites. Then it's over to EPCOT our traditional last park for an early dinner at Teppan Edo. The tradition may change because we're now thinking about going over to AK to finish up at 11.View attachment 149882 with a pencil skirt seems fitting.

Love love love this blouse! That is gorgeous!

@Songbird76
Sorted that for you Figgy

Thanks! She had me tagged in the post with the black tshirt with the silver Mickey. But this works, too!

And Dixie Landings is now Port Orleans Riverside...The Disney Institute is now Saratoga Springs...Pop Century: The Legendary Years is now Art of Animation...Countdown to Extinction is now Dinosaur...Who Wants to be a Millionaire is now Toy Story Midway Mania...Superstar Television is now Doug Live! (no, American Idol...no, Frozen Sing a Long!)...and the Polynesian Village is BACK to being the Polynesian Village again!

There HAS to be a frozen Singalong, because I have a fastpass for it.

Thank you. Did you write a PTR?

 

[Songbird76]

Thank you. Did you write a PTR?

Nope...I am boring! I am new to the world of TRs and such. I DID, however buy a little notebook to take notes for a TR once we get back, and I'll have a ton of pictures, with luck. I'm afraid any PTR of mine would consist of nothing but lists. Nobody wants to see that.
Do people only do TRs for Disney? or for other vacations, too? Since our vacation is only half Disney, do people only want to see Disney stuff, or are they generally interested in whatever?

There is! Frozen Singalong is the most recent attraction in that space.

I'd love to get a peek at your lists. You seem to have everything so organized and yes I'd love to hear about all of your great adventure to this side of the pond.

Ah ok...I had to go back and look at your post...I didn't see the comma the first time. I was like...what do you mean no frozen sing-along? I've got a FP!" Now I get it. No Frozen fans in your family?
