ADR's are made. Sort of feeling a little slump on pre-trip planning excitement. We have had sickness running rampant in our house so my nerves are shot and I am exhausted. I know this is the monster sucking the joy out of my planning craziness.
So, here we go....
Leave home the morning of September 14th for the drive down. Will make it to New Port Richey, FL where we have Aunts and Uncles who want to see their Great Niece that evening and will get a hotel.
On the morning of the 15th we will make the 2 hour or so drive over to Orlando and hopefully will get to check in to our room early. Knowing my husband and I, we will leave around 6:30 or 7am so will make it to the Contemporary to drop off bags and pick up KTTK or bands. We will meet up with my parents here, since they are arriving on the 11th and staying at the Contemporary as well. Our plan is to head over to AK as soon as we can and get in what we can there. Must dos are Safari, Lion King Show, Nemo Show, Expedition Everest for my hubby and I and the parade. I'm sure we will pick up lunch...thinking Flame Tree since we have never tried it but a little leary since we come from the land of BBQ and we are all picky about the kind of BBQ we like. Imagine we will leave AK after the parade and head back to the Contemporary for some pool time. Up to our room to get ready for the Pirates and Pals cruise at 7:45.
September 16th (BIRTHDAY TIME FOR MY PRINCESS)-leave for breakfast at Akershus (8:10) and relax and enjoy (pray for some pixie dust that Mulan will be there!). When done with breakfast will hop on monorail and head over to MK. I have scheduled a Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique appointment for 10:55 that morning so will do that after we arrive at MK. Will then head to check out the line at BOG and decide if we want to eat (AGAIN) or wait until later and risk a longer line. Explore as much of MK as we can, concentrating on new FantasyLand and Tommorowland since we didn't really get to do that area of the park on our last visit. That evening head back to the Contemporary where we will do cake and gifts in our room. Working with Chef Brian on the cake and hoping it will be AMAZING!
September 17th (Birthday for my Hubby this time)-Breakfast at Contemporary QS and then off for EMH at Epcot! Will get all the non-World showcase stuff done early and go over to the Character Spot and do the meet and greet with Mickey and the Gang. When the World Showcase opens, a little country hopping to meet with EVERY SINGLE PRINCESS possible. This makes my daughter super happy and allows the adults time to relax and enjoy Epcot (I plan on sipping a few cocktails this day). Makes for a great day! Will eat lunch at Chefs de France and a later dinner at Biergarten (Hubby's pick). Enjoy Illuminations and hop back on the monorail to sleep!
September 18th: Breakfast at Chef Mickey's (8:05) and then head over to HS for the Beauty and the Beast Show and whatever else we can pack in (Meet Buzz N Woody, Ariel's show, Star Wars, TOT). Stay until parade if there is one
(). Head over to DTD for shopping and dinner at Raglan Road (6pm). Supposed to get a table in the middle for the show! Hoping I will still have room for some Ghiradelli!
September 19th: Check out of hotel and say goodbyes to my Mom and Dad who fly out that morning.Last park day. Will probably go back to MK or where ever we feel we missed out on stuff. Imagine that will include another DTD shopping excursion and if I didn't get my Ghiradelli in I will do it on the way out. Leave and head out for home. Not sure what time this will be. If it was up to me it would be like midnight that way my daughter and myself could sleep all the way home.

Something has been running through my boys schools from what I hear they were lucky just a little cough and some sneezing a few days ago but they seem fine! I think with the kids cooped up together all winter there seems to be more going around!
) , stomach issues, potential eye issues, lots of congestion, and my younger one wound up with an ear infection. I guess at least the dr ruled out strep. Big fun!
