4 Weeks to Go!

Well folks, the countdown is dwindling down and we are now under a month until our Disney vacation begins! Exactly 28 days till we arrive at the Happiest Place on Earth... although we leave in 27 days to start our traveling journey down to FL. Since we are getting closer to our trip, I thought I'd share some more details about our upcoming vacation. We depart March 2 and are driving a little over 8 hours to get to Cordele, GA where we are stopping for the night and staying in a Holiday Inn Express. We know we will not be able to make the entire 14+ hour drive to Disney World in one trip especially not with a 2 month old on board so we are breaking it up. This gives about 6 hours on Saturday which works out nicely to arrive at our hotel around check in time of 3 pm. Then the fun and festivities begin! We are staying at the beautiful Polynesian Resort which is located in the Magic Kingdom area as well as the Seven Seas Lagoon. Our itinerary as well as dinning reservations have been planned out meticulously. Although we've edited our dining reservations a few time, I think our final plans are set and there's no turning back now, ha! Since we will be there a total of 7 days, I'll just share days 1-3 in this post and continue on about the other days in a future post.

Day 1:

Arrival, Check in, Downtown Disney

After checking in to our hotel and settling into our room, its off to explore Downtown Disney. We plan to do a little bit of shopping before heading over to T Rex Cafe where we have dinner reservations. It will be an early night for us so we can gear up for the next day!

Day 2:

Magic Kingdom

Magic Hours 9pm-12am

Afternoon Parade 3pm

Electric Parade 7pm

Fireworks Show 8pm

We have a FULL day at the park planned. But thankfully our hotel is very close to the MK and we can just hop onto the monorail if we need to retreat for a little while before getting back into the action. Our meals that day consist of breakfast at the Crystal Palace where we will get to meet Pooh and his friends. Then lunch at the Plaza Restaurant and dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table where we will get to meet the Princesses.

Day 3:

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Magic Hours 7-10pm

Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun 3pm

Fantasmic! 7pm

This is another full day at the park for us but there are more shows for us to see then rides that we can actually all ride so even though it will be long day, it shouldn't be too daunting. Our must do ride is Toy Story Mania.. it is awesome and cannot be missed! We love to see The Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage show as well as Disney Junior and the Voyage of the Little Mermaid. We are also staying in the park and using dinning credits to get special seats for Fantasmic! which is a special and unique water & fireworks show. Our meals that day begin with breakfast at the Hollywood & Vine where we get to meet some Disney Junior characters. Then off to an Italian lunch at Mama's Melrose and a yummy dinner at the 50's Prime Time Cafe.
