Our can't pass up this deal/rewarding the kids WDW trip TR UPDATED 10/29 About This Page:

[Nimros]

Wow - that is a deal!!! And I agree, your family deserves it. Thanks to both of you for your service.

My son is deployed right now (hopefully home in Dec.) and I know if he had been home any sooner, we would have changed our dates and taken him and his new wife to take advantage of this deal. So glad you guys are getting to do it.

Hurry back with more!

Time for what to do, what to do

The last time that DH and I were at WDW was our Senior year of college (a long time ago) and we could only afford 2 days in the parks. It was a total fly by the seat no plans at all type of trip. I am a total control freak when it comes to trips, and I decided that this upcoming trip, I am going to plan alot out so that we don't miss nearly as much as we did last time. I'm trying not to go too crazy, because I could totally do the whole plan when to get up, what to eat where, what to ride when etc etc etc, and while I want alot planned, I also want flexibility as well.

I decided that our first day at WDW, we are not going to go into the parks. We are going to use this time to bee-bop around DTD and the Boardwalk. That evening, we are eating dinner at 1900 Park Fare and then hope to catch the water parade and MK fireworks from the beach at GF.

The next day (our first in the parks) we decided to do EPCOT. They have EMH in the am, and I agree with everyone, that I wanted to stay away from MK the first day for the kids. DH and I absolutely love EPCOT and we could spend months roaming WS. DH is also a huge fan of all things tech so Tomorrowland will be visited quite a bit as well.

I loved the ideas of leaving the kids notes and gifts each morning (Eileen I am still jealous of your graphics!) and so we are going to give that a whirl as well. Our day at EPCOT starts with breakfast at Akershus, so I think that DD will be getting a new pair of shoes for her Snow White dress. This girl cracks me up by the way! She is 4 years old and has already planned out all of her outfits for the trip DS will probably be getting a new pair of Wall-E shoes to wear in the parks.

After Akershus the only thing that I really have planned is naptime in the afternoon, and the dinner ADR at Coral Reef. My kiddos really love Nemo, so I am hoping to do Nemo and Turtle Talk right before dinner to get them in the mood

Like I said, EPCOT is our favorite, so we have more time planned later in the week to visit again (and besides, I am sure I won't get my fill of the Food and Wine festival in just 1 day!)

Up next....Day 2

Sounds like a great way to start your vacation. Hurry back.

For some reason my computer keeps acting up (or maybe its operator error) but I thought my first attempt at part 2 was deleted so I started a new one and when I hit submit it showed the old one.......hmmm...so sorry if its all confusing

[langefamily4]

hmmmm call me crazy, but for some reason my last few posts in here have now disappeared when I look at this......can you all see my part 2 or is it really gone?

[MaryEL8775]

All I can see is the beginning of your EPCOT day with your ADR at Coral Reef and talking about Nemo and Crush.
