Planning a Magical Vacation


I have been doing major magical planning all week long (even at work  
).  From dining in the park to an hour by hour itinerary.  It is safe to say it is almost completely planned for; except a few things they we need to wait on.   

Word of advice do not wait to make dining reservations as you will not get your first pick.  Most guide books suggest 180 days prior to vacation.  Don't make the same mistake I did and think that is too early.  It is never too early, you can always change it later.  Also, use the mydisneyexperience website right off the waltdisneyworld.com website to book reservations.  

I might even suggest using a site like touringplan.com or onceuponatimetravelers@yahoo.com (travel agents) to help you with your plans if you are like me and can't alway think that far in advance.  All of these including the new mydisneyexperience are excellent tools that will help bring your vacation from fantastic to fantasmic!!

So far we have changed our current reservation to include a table service meal per day and one quick service meal per day.  We looked at the math and we think the meal plan will pretty much pay for itself.  So, this is what I would have to say to anyone who thinks they might have a lot of sit down meals (Which we tend to do a lot), just go ahead and pay the extra money chances are you will end up paying more then it is worth anyway!  

Alright as far as packing goes this is what I do; last year I bought an iPhone app called Packing Pro.  It is an excellent app that allows you to customize your packing list, as well as has a default list of essentials that you might need on any trip.  Best part of this app is it will save your information for the next time you plan on using it.  I have tons of packing tips and ideas (most I found on pinterest) let me know if you want me to tell you about any of them!

Next item of business...I FOUND MY LEAVE A LEGACY INFORMATION PACKET! There are two locations but they are right next each other.  

Here are the tile locators address,
     - East 6-F-21-8-12
     - East 6-F-21-8-11

If I remember correctly we had a little trouble finding them at first even with knowing what they are suppose to look like.  I am sure if you look you can a cast member for help and I believe I did show you the picture of them so you should be able to find them.  

That is all I have right now, I will keep you update when the trip gets closer.  I am sure I will have plenty of updates to come.  We are 70 days out and counting.  We both need a vacation really bad right and absolutely can not wait to have a fun filled and somewhat relaxing vacation.

I will post a typical day in the parks real soon!

AS always have a Fantasmic week

"You broke my smolder"

Alright fellow Disney finatics,

I broke down and went back to the way I usually spend my weekends.  I put in Tangled!  During the winter season either Saturday or Sunday the hubby and I would spend the morning watching one of our favorite disney movies Tangled.  

This movie is excellent it brings in the magic of the disney classics like Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid while also brings its own modern twist to it.   It has all the disney qualities; A beautiful princess that sings and has animals as friends and a charming man that aids her in her quest for independence, the perfect ingredients for a disney classic.      

This movie should be seen by everyone.  I have probably seen this movie more than 1000 times.  I never get sick of it  and it hasn't been out that long! I know almost all of the words and the songs.  My favorite song being "i've got a dream".  The Fact that Flynn Ryder is one of the few disney characters to question singing in a disney movie it absolutely hilarious.  He is not your typical "prince charming"  which is what I think makes Flynn Ryder on of the best Disney Princes!



 I believe Disney should continue to make more movie like this.  
"I've got dreams like you now really, just much less touchy-feely.  They happen mainly somewhere warm and sunny.  On Island that I own tanned and rested and alone...surrounded by enormous piles of money!"  - My favorite part of the song
