Hi all! It's been awhile since I've posted, but when I got the opportunity to return to the World in December, I just had to share with everyone.
Who: Me(Amy), my mom, and my 4yo son, Owen.
Here we all are on our trip last October.
Unfortunately, we can't all go this year, but the three of us are going to have a blast!
When: Sunday, December 9-Friday, December 14, 2012
Where: CBR pirate room
Story: After our trip last October, Brian and I decided that we would save up and make our next trip to Disneyland, possibly in June 2013. Then, the Best Buy that he worked for closed and he was out of a job starting this June. He got a nice severance package, but still couldn't justify any extravagant vacations while he wasn't working. When the room only discounts came out for November-December, we thought about the two of us making a quick trip down for our 14th anniversary. Then he was offered a job. Good news in general, but bad in the fact that he won't have any vacation time for awhile. So long December trip.
When I saw that the room only discounts had been extended, I was daydreaming out loud about how cool it would be if I took our youngest to WDW for our own little vacation. Surprisingly, Brian thought it would be a good idea for him to get a little extra time with me! As much as I wanted to jump right on it, I first had to clear it with my two oldest. I was surprised how well they responded. My 9yo was so mature about it! He explained to me (instead of the other way around) that he and Lily had been twice and Owen had only been once, so it was only fair that he got to go again. Imagine my shock!! Lily wasn't quite so easy, and I had to promise her a trip to an American Girl Doll store, but she's okay with it now. Of course, both are composing a shopping list for me while we are there!
Transportation: Originally, I was planning on driving from Dayton, OH to Florida
, but when my mom decided to come along, she refused to drive, so we now have AirTran tickets! We are going to try only taking carry-ons and not checking any bags. We'll see how the packing goes as we get closer to time. I'm not sure how we will handle 3 carry-ons, our personal bags, and a stroller at MCO, but we are going to try!
Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Owen from our trip last year:
And here he is the day after our trip last year, enjoying his Mickey crocs and his pirate ears.
