Today, we received our park tickets!!! Im so excited! Our hotels are booked, our route to drive is mapped out, our daily plans are written out. I have written down all info on parks, good restaraunt options for us. I have a medical insurance card packed into our travel folder. We have shopped for shorts for my husband. I have been slowly shopping for skirts and capris( I hate wearing shorts.) Ive written down the address to the nearest Walmart for when we get out there. We actually booked an off property hotel room that has an in-room kitchenette, so we will be able to get up and cook our own breakfast and any other meals or snacks we want. I would love to eat dinner out every night, but I think knowing we can cook our own, will be good in the case of kids being too tired to keep out any of the days. Plus the kids eat often, so we will be able to keep plenty of snacks that way.
We did make the decision to invite Stephen's older sister. We love her and we really wanted an extra adult with us. It will mean no one has to ride anything alone. We will have an extra set of hands if needed. We will have a third person to help us drive there, we will get the chance to get a date night(which is awesome, I have been dying to take Stephen to the Adventurer's Club at downtown Disney) and it will just be fun to have her along. She has been having things going on that she could use the break from, so all around, it will work great. Our suite has 3 rooms so we wont be on top of each other while in the room. I cant wait!!!
Now I am putting focus on putting together road trip packs for the kids. We are leaving at night, so I figure they will sleep a good portion of it, but just in case, I want to make sure they have plenty to keep their little hands and minds occupied. Ive been putting in unopened McDonalds toys and little new cheap ones I pick up. I also bought the activity trays that strap to their seat. That means I can get coloring supplies. Im also wanting to get them small baking sheets and fun magnets. Just fun inexpensive things. Also, of course snacks, which reminds me...do any of you have suggestions for yummy low to no sugar snacks? Im ok with my kids having sugar but not when they have to remain strapped into a carseat. Just the thought of those results sounds awful! So, any suggestions would be appreciated. I would love it to be something yummy that maybe they dont get all the time, so it will be new and fun. Im thinking a couple of new things mixed with stuff I know is there favorite would be perfect.
Overall, everything is shaping up nicely! I bought a fun little dry erase board with Minnie Mouse on it, Im using it to count down our days! Im not sure if it keeps me more excited or just impatient but its fun so it stays! I think it does help with making sure everything gets done on time. Anyway I just wanted to put out a Disney update. Tomorrow, I plan to put up a kids milestone blog. Afterall, I started this stuff to remember all of that and I suck at keeping up with their baby books. I like blogging though so it works out!
