I've missed you guys so much. Life happens and I just couldn't get motivated to get back into it for a while. I've been reading everyone else's blogs and missing doing my own. I hope I can at least talk to you guys once or twice a week. But let's get back to the matter at hand......
Yes!!! We are finally going to Disney World with the girls!! I can't wait. I'm so excited and I hope they are to :)
I've been before............ in 1982 ( remember..I'm the oldest girl in all the pictures. Get ready for the gawkiness)
gotta love the eighties, am I right? |
1983....
(I'm the one on the left) |
1987........
I have no words for that whole outfit I'm wearing(blue shorts) and the hair |
and 1994.........
and this one with all the fanny packs... yikes |
I talked with my good friend, Heather, who had just recently become a certified Disney travel agent with Wish A Upon A Star With Us and she hooked us up. She's actually there as we speak doing some more training. I can't wait to hear any new stuff she finds out. She can work with you completely over the phone and online. She can also send you stuff in the mail. I had been before but there is SO MUCH MORE to do and see since the last time we went and I wasn't the one doing the planning last time when I was 16, my mom was.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.....
....which hotel is best for you and your budget?
.... and do you or don't you get the meal plan?
.... do you buy the Photo Pass or Photo Pass +?
.... do you trade pins or don't you?
.... To nap or not to nap?
.... since we'll have a car and staying on property , do we drive ourselves or use the buses?
My head was spinning for a while. I'm sure some of the stuff we won't figure out until we go. I know I've read a million and two blogs to hear about everyone else's experiences. I learn something new from everyone I read. Really, all of the websites out there are awesome.
Here are a few of the ones I liked the best . Heather told me about a bunch of them and some I found on my own via Pinterest. Check out my Disney Pinterest board to see all of my Disney stuff.
All Ears ( loved that they had menus for all of the restaurants on this one. This should save us a bunch of time wandering around)
Mouse Savers ( this one had alot of tips for saving money on food and souvenirs)
Walt Disney World Prep School(she has so many great tips and facts. She is so thorough. I can't even tell you everything I learned.
Kenny the Pirate(This guy tells you where to find all of the characters while you are at the parks. Invaluable if you want autographs)
Touring Plans
of course Disney World.com
I'll let you know how it goes but until then I had to get ready with some Disney crafts of course. They'll be coming soon. I'll have pressed penny book decor, penny holder decor, mickey countdown, autograph books, and t-shirts.
I can't wait to share.

So great to see you back!!! Have a great trip! I remember going to Disney as a kid. I was so excited to go swimming in the winter. Sadly, it rained the week we were there and didn't break 55 degrees.
ReplyDeleteAww...Bummer. That would totally suck. And thanks, It's good to be back.
DeleteI've been looking for your site for 2 days! I saw you post on my FB page, read this entry on my phone and then went to my computer to come and respond and couldn't find the link on the page anymore. Thankfully, it appeared in my analytics as a referral so I found you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning the site. I'm so glad it's been helpful to you. It's funny seeing the pics of you as a kid at WDW. We were so stylish back then, weren't we? Mine are similarly awkward to look at except I'm dressed in 100% neon clothes, right down the socks. :\
Unless I'm completely blind, I didn't read where you said when you're going to WDW. What are your dates?
I'm glad you finally found me!! Your site really has helped me so much. You have so many great ideas and recommendations. I didn't post when I was going. I'm kinda weird about posting that stuff online. I'll send you and email soon.
DeleteLove seeing all these pictures of you back in the day. :) That's exciting that you can go to Disney world again!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I love that my parents took so many great pictures of us. I hope I can continue to do the same for my girls.
