Hello everybody!! My name is Kelli, and I have been a long time "behind the scenes" follower of the WDWMagic boards. In all honesty, I didn't even know the "Trip Reports" thread existed until after my most recent trip (throwing it way back to November 2013) when I was going through serious Disney withdrawals!
So now, almost 4 years and 2 kids later, we are going back!! I can't even contain my excitement! My husband (Tim) was pretty much getting so sick of me talking about all my make believe plans that he told me to just book it! He's the best! (But seriously, he shouldn't have made me wait 4 years)
Getting down to the details:
I literally got butterflies and couldn't stop smiling when this popped up on my computer
I mean, seriously, who doesn't love seeing the main mouse himself!
The Who:
Me (Kelli) & my husband (Tim)
Circa 2013 at Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights (why, oh why did they have to get rid of this!?
)
And our sons SJ (will almost be 3)
and H (will have just turned 1)
Gotta sport the Mickey gear in our house!
The When/Where:
January 8-13, 2018 @ Disney's Pop Century Resort
The Why:
Let's get real, who really needs a "why" to go to Disney...I sure don't!! But, one of the main reasons we decided to take this trip is because kiddos are free until they are 3, and we had to take advantage of that!
So much has changed since the last time we were there (only part of the New Fantasyland was done), and I can't wait to see it completed. I also can't wait to try all the things my Disney friends (AKA - you guys!) have seen and tried that I missed all those years.
But, most importantly, it is all about the memories. I cannot wait to see the look on those sweet faces when they see the castle or Mickey Mouse for the first time. I'm not normally a sap, but those cast members on Main Street USA better have their mop and bucket ready, because I am pretty sure I may turn into an emotional wreck.
So, to all my WDWMagic friends out there, I am looking for any and all advice that you can give me when it comes to going with kids (hence the title of the PTR). I feel like my hubby and I (ok, maybe just me) are crazy for bringing them this young, but I know people do it, and I know it will be worth it. What do you suggest for dining/stroller rental/shows/rides/etc.?
Thank you again for the help! And thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through your trip reports over the years. I'm hoping that I can return the favor in the future!
