| My Birthday Dream Come True!!! **Updated 10/9** COMPLETE Ok, well bear with me as this is my first ever trip report. Let me start with introductions....  Last year '07 This year '08Me ( turning 33 during trip) Student, SAHM, Disney Fanatic DH (35) Stocker at Costco DS (11) DD (10) This is our 2nd time to WDW and actually only our 2nd family vacation of a lifetime. We will be staying on-site at Port Orleans French Quarter. I chose the resort, while DH chose all the ADR's and the kids chose the parks. This way we all had help in the planning. Our flight leaves out of BDL at 6:45am and arrives at MCO at 9:35am. From there we are taking the DME to our hotel to check in. After check in our plan is to drop off the carry-ons at luggage and go to Epcot for the day til our ADR at Trail's End at 5pm. I am hoping to try the Lotus Blossom Cafe for lunch at Epcot though. I want for our family to try new things on our vacation. So I hope they like the choices I made for CS meals. We have the basic dining plan so this is ok with is. After Trail's End, the plan is to go back to the hotel to unpack and swim. I am going to try to surprise the family with a carriage ride however. (They don't know this yet!) More to follow....

| Day 2 plans... This is our first complete day at WDW so we are going to spend ALL day except for dinner at the Magic Kingdom. Up early in the morning and off to see the opening ceremony at 9am...(hopefully) Lunch will be at Cosmic Ray's around 12pm. Then more fun til Dinner at GF at 1900 Park Fare at 5:05pm. Then back to MK til maybe 11pm. Since the park closes at 12am I figure if we leave an hour earlier while people are watching Spectro at 11pm we can get back at a decent hour. I do want to catch the 9pm Spectro and the 10pm Wishes as I didn't get to see them last year. I did catch the 11pm last year. There maybe some time for swimming maybe if the kids don't want to watch the fireworks because I do have other days planned for MK as well since that has the most rides for parks for us.

| Day 3 plans,,, I am trying to give the kids a small break today lol... So I figure if we get up at 8am and get the kids swimming til 10:30am then hopefully by 11am we can be on our way to Epcot (while everyone else starts taking breaks) Lunch at 12pm at the Cantina de San Angel in Mexico. We love tacos but have never had any at WDW so this should be fun. We will make sure to hit Soarin, Mission Space, Test Track, Spaceship Earth, and Nemo while we are here. Then we are off to Ohana at the Poly for 5pm ressies. After dinner we are headed back to Epcot to get a good spot near the Friendship docks to watch Illuminations at 9pm. Now I know that the park has EMH that night so we will probably get a few more rides in esp. Soarin' and Mission Space before we head back to the hotel at 11pm. Again we can leave an hour before the park lets out so we don't feel like sardines. But I doubt we will since we are at the POFQ. Last year we felt so squished on the buses to the All-Stars. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! Time to sleep til 8am and more swimming....
