After doing our taxes with a professional since my husband is now self employed, we were plesantly surprised and decided on another trip to Walt Disney World.

We were lucky enough to spend a week at the world in Dec 2011 due to free dining we scored and enjoy the holiday decor and Christmas party, so when we decided to go again everyone thought it was too soon and our kids will expect to go to WDW every year.

My husband and I decided to heck with what everyone else thinks, we want to go again. Every trip has been a learning experience and an experiment with what we enjoy doing and trying new things at WDW and this is no different.

We like to try out ways to tour the world and ways to maximize the time riding. We also like to try out a new resort each trip and for this trip we let the kids pick the resort.
They decided on the pirate room and Carribean Beach resort for this trip.
We also have stayed at POR in 2007 (my Dad's pick)
POFQ in 2008 (my pick)
AKL in 2011 (DH pick)
and now the boys get their turn. We also have asked about their favorite places to eat when we go to WDW, and although we have been on the dining plan and have eaten at some fantastic places my kids always say the food court at the hotels are their favorite. They also want to ride more rides and spend less time eating. So we have decidedin the quick service dining plan and park hoppers to be able to get more park time in.

So my question is If you could only pick one special meal at Walt Disney World where would you go ?

Ooooh a special menu - for fun, the Crystal Palace and for romance the California Grill.

'Ohana's for dinner--which is a "must do" for each of our trips. Great food, service, and a bit of interactive fun for kids and any who want to participate.
It is never too soon to go back to Walt Disney World!
Have a magical trip!

The plan for this trip is to drive down to Florida and hopefully stop when we get tired. Our trip last Dec my husband and I drove straight through 25 hours taking turns driving and sleeping. It was a long, hard drive and I am hoping I can convince him to stop for a rest.
I am looking for a way around Atlanta without going through the metro area. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Once we get to Florida we are going to Cocoa Beach and go deep sea fishing and explore the area. Then it is off to the World!!!!!

6 nights in a pirate room at Carribean Beach resort and 7 days at the park.
We have booked a quick service dining plans and have made 2 reservations for meals that we will pay for out of pocket.
Tues 17th at T-Rex for lunch and then House of Blues for dinner on Sunday 23rd. My husband would also like to go the the Biergarten since we always go there and he loves the beer.I am not such a big fan of the food and I am hoping he can get the beer he likes at the counter in Germany showcase.

Our plan is to go early to the parks and then swim and rest more during the day and then play all night to take advantage of the later summer hours.
My boys favorite place to watch Wishes is from a log on Splash Mountain.

After 7 days at our happiest place on earth we are headed south to Key West for a couple days and then to Naples for 3-4 days to enjoy the beaches.

Great TR!

[dutchdisneyfamily]

Your plans look great! Love it when the tax man makes Disney come true! If I had to pick a meal and since I've got boys almost the same age, I'd say TRex. My husband wants to eat at Biergarten next time for sure. He's managed to not get to do it yet and It's at the top of his list.

Great plans!

Great start! I can't wait to read more. If I could only pick one meal, I'd probably have to go with Raglan Road...I can't live without their bread pudding.
