Pre-Trip The Fab 5 Trip

It seems like I just returned from WDW and I am already gearing up to go back. I have found that future trip planning really is the best cure for the post trip blues!
Welcome to anyone who would like to follow in my next adventure

This trip will feature the number 5 in a few different ways-hence the title

Who: Myself (Erica), DH (R), DD (O-turning 5) and DS (Z-3). This will be our first time of just our immediate family visiting WDW together and I am really excited for it. We typically take trips with other family and friends so it will be nice to get a chance to focus on our kids and ourselves.
When: Early May (5th month)
Where: Split stay between POP and AOA, we have 5 day park hoppers
Why: Celebrating the 5th Birthday of our little princess

Last May, I surprised the kids with a trip. I considered surprising them again this time but when I went without them over New Years I had to let the cat out of the bag. They were perfectly content to stay home with the promise of a future trip. I have let them help with a lot of the planning but I do have a few surprises up my sleeve.

Here are is my favorite picture of all 4 of us from DHs last WDW trip in September 2016

And one from our DLR trip in November 2017

We are only a few days out and the kids are getting very excited for the trip. Our bags are mostly packed other than some last minute stuff. I am in the middle of Party prep for O's birthday party tomorrow but took a minute to get the kids airplane bags ready. Here is what will be in them:

I don't think I will manage a live report this time around I am going to try to finish re-reading the Game of Thrones books during downtime (I'm halfway through) but I hope to at least post a few pictures daily for anyone needing their WDW fix.

This picture made me laugh - I couldn’t help noticing the French translation was probably done by someone who thinks they know French “well enough” (unless it’s a French Canadian way of saying things) just like a guy at work thinks he knows English “well enough” to not pass things by me...

Enjoy your trip

What are those rainbow mermaid things? (If you don’t mind me asking.)

Also hats off on re-reading GOT. If/when The Winds of Winter ever gets released I might read the 5th one again but I don’t I’ll ever do a full re-read.

Following along. Enjoy your time and rereading Game of Throne
