Off to the House of Mouse!

Our bags are mostly packed. There is so much excitement in our house! Brian and I are taking Adam to Disney World!!

We’ve talked about doing this trip for a while, so finally decided to do it! Adam is 6 and at the perfect age to experience the magic and fun of this wonderful place!

I went to Disney World a couple times growing up. My boys have never been. I had no idea Disney is such a planning project! We decided to stay on site at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. This place looked like the perfect “in-your-face-Disney” experience! A ‘Cars’ themed family suite will be our domain for our 5 night adventure. We will have 2 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Sounds perfect! We decided to go for the dining plan. We will also have ‘Magic bands.’ Our band will be our room key, credit card, dining admission, and fast pass reservation admission. Sounds cool!

I have been doing a bunch of reading on what do to and see at the parks. We are typically people who like to just go with the flow and do what sounds fun at the time. I didn’t want to plan too much, but I also wanted to be sure the boys have a fun time. I made us several meal reservations..some with characters, some with cool surroundings. I have also reserved fastpass rides at each park.

We’re as ready as I want us to be. Not too overly planned, but going in with a decent amount of info. It’s Wednesday night. Our flight leaves Friday morning, May 2nd. We are mostly packed. Just a few odds and ends to go. Laundry. Target. We’re ready!

Did I mention Allison is staying home?! Yep, she is. The grandparents are taking turns coming to hang with her. It will be more fun and more special for Adam to not have a 1 year old with us. 🙂

Stay tuned for a post vacation update….
