GIRLS RULE, BOYS DROOL Land and Sea Adventure PreTrip Report (October 23-Nov 1)

Hello Friends!

I guess it’s about time I get this pre-trip report started! We leave in 23 Days!

This is the “Girls Rule and Boys Drool” trip. It started out that I wanted to take a trip just me and my mom. Well, I started feeling really guilty about that. Don’t you just loath the “mom guilt”? So now it’s me, my mom and my girls. NO BOYS!!! Don’t get me wrong, we love the boys in our life but they can be a bit of let’s see…downers when it comes to our beloved Disney vacations. They just love to moan and complain about everything. So we decided that we’re leaving their butts at home!!!

So who is going on this trip?
Of course me! I’m Ginger and I will tell you right now I NEED this vacation! My job has been so crazy lately! I need to get away and get away quick!

Here we are at Chef Mickey's

Then there’s my Mom: Terry. She went to Disney with us in December 2008. She is thrilled to be going back (without my Dad!)

This was a pre anniversary celebration at Chef Mickey's


Also, my girls!
Isabelle: who will be celebrating her 8th birthday while we are there. She is really excited to spend that gift card!

Here is Isabelle after getting her face painted at Epcot last year. She has really changed! I know you have seen more recent pics of her, but it was easy to grab this one from photobucket!

Madeline: my 6 year old sweetheart who will not let me skip out on BBB or a princess breakfast.

Madeline, crazy for tinkerbell

So when does this party start? (not soon enough!)
We leave on Friday October 23rd! We are taking a direct flight out of our hometown leaving around 10:30 am and we’ll be in Orlando before 1:00 pm.

This vacation is unique to me as it is a Land and Sea Adventure! Yes, we are starting our trip at WDW and finishing it off with a 3 day cruise on the Wonder! WDW will be October 23-28 and then we board the Wonder on October 29-Nov 1st. We will be on the ship on Halloween!

I hope you will all come along with us on this journey! It is going to be so much fun!!

Up Next: POP, POLY and our PLANS

POP, POLY and our PLANS

I don’t know if many of you know this about me. But, I have real issues with choosing and committing to a resort at Disney. Originally, we were at the Poly for the whole trip…that got to my wallet fast! Then I cancelled that and went with POFQ. Then I changed it to the Beach Club. Finally, I had to make some decisions and keep them!!!

So here is what we’re doing. The first two nights we are staying at POP. We have never been here and I know my girls will just love it. We have stayed at All Star Movies and they loved it there, so POP should be a win for them for sure. After the first two nights we are moving to the Poly as part of our land and sea package booked through DCL. We have four nights at the Poly. Then we leave for the Disney Wonder for three nights. I guess we won’t unpack our bags now will we? I am really excited to stay at POP as I know the girls will love it. My dream has been to stay at the Poly and I hope that it will be all that I was hoping for.

Here is a breakdown of the plans for parks and our meals.

Friday October 23: Arrival Day!! Plans are to hang out at POP, swim, hopefully meet up with Heather (mpwife153) and have some FABs! We will most likely head over to Downtown Disney and I am hoping to eat at Wolfgang Puck express for dinner.

Saturday October 24: EPCOT Food and Wine Festival!!
Breakfast: In room
Lunch: CS or Eat around the world (yum!)
Dinner: Garden Grill (this is a first for us)
Also planning on meeting up with Melissa (southernbelle) this evening.

Sunday October 25: Isabelle’s Birthday
Moving Day to the Poly!
Breakfast: Ohana
Then we’re off to the Magic Kingdom for awhile!
Lunch: Snack
Dinner: Chef Mickey’s
And this is our MNSSHP night!! I am so excited for this party!
Heather and I are hosting a meet for the first parade if anyone wants to come!
10/25 MNSSHP Meet
I know Princess Sharon has said she will be there! So excited to meet her!

Monday October 26: DHS
Breakfast: in room, we are sleeping in from our party night
Lunch : Sci Fi
Hoping to do as much as we can as this will be our only day at DHS. Isabelle says she is going to ride ToT this time. We’ll see… Fantasmic is a maybe as there are EMH at MK tonight until midnight!
Dinner: CS

Tuesday October 27: AK
Breakfast: Tusker House (I love this breakfast!!)
Lunch: Snack
Dinner: CS
I have a surprise tonight for everyone! We’re going to see Cirque! I think my girls will just love it! They watch it on TV all the time.
*I think this is the night of Janice's meet. Just not sure if we will make it

Wednesday October 28
Early wake up for BBB at the MK for 8:30 am
Breakfast at PSB, then spend the day in Epcot
Lunch: CS or again eat around the world
Dinner: Kona (my favorite!)
Then headed to MK for spectromagic and wishes.

Thursday October 29

UP NEXT: Days at sea...time to relax! I hope!

Ginger...I couldn't remember if that was you or someone else... I must be getting old...

I just really miss everything about home. Boring and all...at least Canton has more to do than Lisbon, where they roll up the streets at 6pm...

Thank goodness for Uncle Ted, he'd be pleased that folks still love his Pizza!!!! I love Pizza Oven and can't wait to visit so we can get some!!!!!
