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
