The Most Magical Place on Earth


We booked our summer vacation this week and are all very excited about going to Disneyworld! I went when I was six so I'm sure it's changed a bit in 24 years. Dave has been once as well but spent most of his time at what used to be Pleasure Island (shocker, right?). 


We have been talking about this trip for years but wanted to wait until Tay was old enough to remember it. She's also old enough now to participate in the planning and, let me tell you, she has some definite ideas! She has decided to attend Mickey's Backyard BBQ, Chef Mickey's character breakfast and a kids only Pirate Cruise. She's going to order her autograph book soon and is doing research on the Hidden Mickeys as well. At least that's what she's got so far...I'm sure the list will grow. 

We had planned to stay for 4 days and 3 nights but they have a promotion going on right now that allowed us to purchase that vacation and get some extra days/nights free so we'll actually be there for 8 days and 7 nights. Wow, that seems like a long time when I look at it in writing. Perhaps we'll need a vacation when we get home from our vacation :-)

Of course, we have to discuss these plans every night at dinner, we have maps of each of the parks to plot out the best course to hit the rides/shows/parades, and Dave even found a few planning books that I order last night off of Amazon. Needless to say, it's become an obsession in our home recently. But we're super excited and Tay's already doing extra chores to earn Mickey Money :-)

Only 143 days to go but who's counting?
