Hey everyone! It's a beautiful spring day here, and warmer weather of course makes me think of Disney. We've got just over a year to plan, so let's get to know each other a little. I'll start!
I'm the mom of two beautiful little boys who are currently just turned 3 and almost 8 months. Hoping I will be able to turn them into little Disney World addicts, like I was able to do with my husband.
I was raised in the Wonderful World of Disney on TV and my grandparents visited Disney World when I was about 3, so I was always aware of this magical place. We went there on a family vacation when I was 9 and immediately fell in love. I went to
Disneyland Parc when I was 21, and back to Disney World when I was 23. My husband and I have taken 4 trips there together since 2013. His first time there was with me when he was 35, and I fully expected him to hate it and never want to go again until we had older kids. Next thing he was suggesting it as a honeymoon destination!
We both love the rides and enjoy all the shows, and we enjoy other parks just as much as Disney. Some if my favourite rides at Disney are : Big Thunder, Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Soaring, Tower of Terror, Toy Story and Mission Space. Also love Spaceship Earth and Mickeys Philharmagic.
Our kids will be 4 and 19 months when we go next May. Can't wait to see how my oldest reacts. Hoping my littlest will be content in the stroller and enjoy the rides and shows as much as his brother did at that age!
My husband and I used to love staying onsite but while we have babies and toddlers we will be taking advantage of pool homes with more space and the ability to sit out by the pool once the kids are in bed. This trip will be two weeks long and we plan on taking in all the Disney parks (may do MK and DHS twice each), the Universal Parks and Seaworld (mainly because I want to see the new Sesame Street land for nostalgia).
How is everyone's (pre)planning going so far?
