whoo, finally caught up! sounds like you've made most of the big decisions, i definetely agree with the non park hopper option. we went that way too, with earlier hours.
****Friendly Reminder****
I dont know whats happening to my sweet, loving, little girl!! We had NO problems at two and all of a sudden shes turning into a lil devil at three!! She is definitely hitting the TRYING THREES
OHHHHHH BOY!!!!!
these pics could be my dd at 3! totally obsession with chapstick AND total terror. thankfully she's really come around lately close to her 4th birthday last month. now she's just getting a bit sassy. already makes me dread the tween/teen years.
I know, it's so cute!!! I hate to admit it but it's so hard to find any REALLY cute boys clothes, it's so disapointing!! Having a girl has been so much fun because of all the adorable clothes they have out there for them. Don't get me wrong there are cute boys clothes but not nearly as many as girls.
the fun for boys clothing is the thrill of the hunt. i really have to look around to find something different from the typical. I LOVE to bargain hunt too, so its right up my alley. Ive been finding cute things at gymboree, crazy8, carters, and target. kohls had some cute things but i've been having terrible wash wear from there lately on the baby clothes (jumping bean brand). i also sometimes will buy a cute hat and get a few more basic tops to coordinate and that can be sooo cute!
with a 3 month old baby Im thinking this just isnt realistic and will be doing my planning a little differently this time.
The two biggest changes are that Im only going to make one ADR per day and instead of deciding EXACTLY what rides were going to ride and in what order Im just going to make a MUST-DO list for the day. I guess well see how it works out.?!?
this is pretty much how i'm going. luckily, i have a baby who is just as likely to nap out in public then at home. so i'm hoping this trend will continue on our trip.
we are going to make a must do list, plan the fast pass runs for the morning, and go with the flow.
your DL pics make me want to go. we actually went last year for one day, but sort of on a whim. we we visiting friends at camp pendleton, and had the goal of doing
MNSSHP. well, of course i made the mistake of telling dd we were trick or treating with mickey. and of course it was sold out. so we just decided to go for one day. 3 girls under 4, two pregnant women, and my poor dh. we didn't get there until maybe 10. we went to the parking lot, paid, and then proceeded to be directed in a line through the parking lot, back out to the streets, and then through another parking lot. so like an hour later, we finally hit the parking tram. we only saw about three characters that day, and each time we got to the front they took breaks. LOTS of tears form a sweet girl who had never been to anything disney in her life. the only redeeming feature to the day was that my bff was in an ecv and we got to hit almost every ride there that pregnant ladies could ride. i left knowing that we had to go back and do it right another day. you've got me wanting to go back.
i'm also jealous you live in denver area. my favorite band is from there and i swear i'd spend a million bucks on babysitters so i could see them in every single local concert ever.
sorry to hear about your family. hoping for a quick recovery by all.
