I know I posted on here earlier that we booked a trip to WDW pretty much at the 30 day mark. I have been working on the details of the trip. Today I am at 21 days and I think I am finally done switching, flipping and just plan out re-arranging our ADR's, what park what day so here it goes all. My Pre-trip.
Ok, there is me Shelley, My hubby Matt, youngest DD-Raena, our oldest will not be going because she is heading back to college.
On Aug. 27 we plan to leave our home in Northern VA around 5am and to head out and start our drive to FL. since it is over a 15 hr drive for us we plan to drive to Brunswick, GA and spend the night.
On the 28th we plan to finish the drive to our home away from home. Since we are DVC members our resort this trip is to stay at the Board Walk Villas ( it is actually my fav.) it is not our home resort. Once we get checked in and settled we plan to head to the MK we have 5:05 pm ADR's at the Plaza Resturant. The excitment then comes when I will get to meet J.L.,NDM #1 from Disney Driven Life. The plan is to see the MSEP since it has been extened.
On Aug 29- I have an 8am meet with a special Disney person, but dont want to revile yet, since it is a penciled in date, but trust me if this person does not have travel plans I will be busting at the seems to tell you all(if is does not work out I will still revile) then our plans are to head back to the MK, spend the day and we have dinner ADR's at the Liberty Tree Tavern.
Aug 30th-DHS, dinner ADR's at Hollywood & Vine.
Aug 31st-AK for the day and since it closes at 6pm we will head back to the resort and then head over the Beach Club to Cape May's for our dinner ADR's.
9/1- we have no park plans, so I think it is going to be a DTD shopping day.
9/2- Epcot, dinner ADR's at Tutto Italia Resturant
9/3-our last day no plans this day also maybe a hang by the pool day and then our dinner ADR's at the Wilderness Lodge.
9/4 - since we are driving I am sure we will procrastinate on leaving.
Well folks that is the plan, but gosh you dont know how many times I changed our ADR's cause it just seem like the selection I 1st had just did not flow and had us running to much.

Your plan sounds great, Shelley. I hope you get to meet your mystery Disney person. Give J.L. a hug from all of us!
Lottie -- are you in the Mickey Mom's Club? You will be there (I think) over the time that they have a special place for viewing Illuminations on August 22nd.
Sounds great!!!! And I completely understand about the changing and rearranging. It seems like our original ADR's had us going to EPCOT almost every day for a meal or 2. I love EPCOT, but I may not want to have to be there EVERY day!

Sounds like you are having as much fun in the planning as what you'll have in the trip. The anticipation and build up for me is part of the whole experience, I just wish our next visit was a close. Have lots and lots of fun.
You are totally right - once the holiday is book I start looking through my photo's from previous holidays and start planning what we will do - I love the anticipation of going on holiday. As you can imagine we have really crap weather during our winter months so I like watching our WDW home videos - hearing the noises and seeing everything - just wish it had smellivision -

This fall (or before too long) when they open up applications for next year, you should apply. Then, you will be in the Mom's Club (whether you make it on the panel or not). It's people who applied to be on the Mom's Panel but didn't make it. There is a special little place on the website (which doesn't really do much for me). But I did get a box of fun items a few weeks ago, and last year I got a car magnet.
I love reading the questions and answers on the Mom's Panel, but haven't done it much since I've become a WDB addict. -- not enough hours in the day.

Shelley - on page 1 of this thread, we talked about how neat it would be if Lottie could leave some "item" or "hidden Mickey" for you since you'll just miss each other. Some treasure-hunt type of game or something similar.
