Less than 50 days!!!

In just 47 days, the Doggette family will be at the Happiest Place on Earth!!! We are getting so excited ... just a little over a month to go. We have been planning this trip since back in August and can't wait for our vacation to begin! A little update in the details department... our accommodations have changed and we will now be staying at the Polynesian Hotel! We've been upgraded for FREE!!! When we originally booked our stay at Port Orleans Riverside, we picked the Grand Royal Room. Its a new room that mixes the elements of all the Princesses into the decor. They were expected to be done in March and we were booked in that room for the beginning of March. On a side note, we did have to pay a little bit more to stay in this style of room versus a typical room at the Hotel. Well we got a call on Thursday afternoon/evening that unfortunately the Grand Royal rooms would be not be meeting their deadline of completion and would not be available to stay in for the duration of our vacation. Thus, WDW would be upgrading us to an available room of our choice at one of the Deluxe Resorts. We were surprised and thrilled! These are not cheap rooms and even with the military discount they offer on them we've never even considered them. Well we went home and researched them all and decided on the Polynesian and were in luck because a room was available for the length of our stay. Can't wait to stay there.. definitely someplace new and exciting!!! The Polynesian has a great family atmosphere and has superior location to most of the places on our itinerary. The Monorail and the Boat are great amenities that the hotel offers. We are just a skip away from the Magic Kingdom which works out perfect since two of our days will be spent there. One of our character dinners at 1900 Park Fare is next door at the Grand Floridian... within walking distance. And another character meal is across the street at the Contemporary. Lots of pluses on our short list for the Polynesian so it wasn't too tough of a decision! Now just to wait till our vacation begins...
