9 days until Disney and I feel like the plans are prepared and we are ready to go! I just spent the past 4 hours putting the finishing touches on the plans. I am insane… yes. But I like having a general idea of where we are going to go and when. Fluctuating from the plans is not an issue. I will go with the flow, but I like having this to direct us.
Tomorrow we start packing and it’s my daughter’s 6th birthday.
I am so excited for you, I know what it’s like as we have our trip there next month! Did you know they’re doing the Wishes Dessert Party again? I just reserved our spot today, so excited!
Kristin,
Do you have the “hidden mickeys” book? It’s a book that tells you where all the hidden mickeys in the parks are. I thought you & your daughter would enjoy it on your trip. Can’t remember the real name of the book, but I think my copy had a yellow cover. So excited for your family!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ur daughter.
This is so exciting for you and your family!! Enjoy your time and all your hard work to get there. Congratulations and Happy 6th Birthday to your daughter!
Each day I see your countdown and get excited about when we eventually go. I really wish September was the month following May-lol. Happy birthday to your daughter!
We are leaving May 27th, so we’re not far behind you! I cannot wait!! We are staying at Coronado Springs!!
Kristin,
I hope you and your family have a wonderful trip and beautiful weather :)
congratz!!! cant wait to hear about it…what is the best/cheapest option for a disney hotel for a family of 7? does any one know it seams like most of the hotels sleep 6 or 4
Staying on disney grounds, the Value Resorts are the cheapest option. I believe some of the value resorts have family suites and even if it fits only 6 to a room, you could always ask about that 7th person. I am sure they would allow all 7 of you if they are kids especially.
There are hotels just outside Disney property that have shuttle services similar to Disney’s, however I am not sure how reliable they would be (you may have to call when you need to be picked up, etc.) and if you take your own vehicle into the parks, you would have to pay for parking each day, so there are benefits to staying on Disney property (if you want to take your own vehicle to the park, you get a pass for parking free, plus they have extended hours for resort guests).
My suggestion, go to the disney website and play with it! I love playing with the reservation program to get an idea of the costs and ticket packages.
We are leaving for disney on June 11, you stated you are all planned for Disney. Do you have your planned trip viewable on your website? I would love to see your plans for when you are there.
I will be there at the same time you are.
You never get to old for Disney.
My best friend of 50 years will be there with me. and for a few days we will be children again.
Hope you have as much fun as I plan to have.
Happy Birthday!! =) My son turned six last November… time flies!
Happy Birthday to your little girl! (it’s also a little friends bday today – we’re baking purple cake!)
I so wanna go
Happy Birthday to your Daughter. I hope you have a fun and safe trip. I have a count down going now to I leave for Disneyland in 29 days. It can’t get here soon enough for me.
We went for our honeymoon in 2007 and just went back again for a second honeymoon in March 2010! We LOVE it there! I am so jealous! Next trip we are bringing my 4 yr old niece. Where do you guys stay?
Pop Century. :)
Are you children aware of the pending trip? We never told our children until the morning of the flight. :))
They were surprised last year and it was so fun! This year we have used the trip as a way for my daughter to behave in school, earn money and rewards for the trip, etc. She is so excited too!
Happy Birthday to your daughter!!!
Have a great trip! It’s going to be beautiful weather this time of year! Happy Birthday to your DD!

I’m so jealous. My husband and I LOVE Disney. We belong to the Disney Vacation Club, so we go often. We will be going to Disney’s Hilton Head Island on May 19th and then again on June 4th. We’re bring a family friend who will be visiting us here in SC from CT, and the second time we will be bringing our son and his femily. We can’t wait. Happy 6th birthday to your daughter, and have a great time!
