We're 'planning' to go, but not in the way that word is usually used around here....
More accurately, we INTEND to go Mardi Gras week (DS is off school), and probably extend the trip a few days to put his birthday in The World.
We went for MG week this year, and had a blast. Crowds weren't a problem until Friday, which was the start of the Pres. Day weekend. Reminded me of a Summer day, crowd-wise. I'm hoping that since MG falls between Pres Day and Spring Break this year, crowds won't be a problem. With the extra days, we'd like to get in a trip to the Cape this time... DS is showing some interested in rockets, and one of DW's uncles lives in Cocoa and worked for NASA through most of the Saturn V and Shuttle launches.
This past trip, we stayed at POR for the first time. Nice, but it sorta didn't feel like we were getting away... too much like home. We'll be going back to Caribbean Beach this trip.
And I won't bother bringing beads this year... at WDW, nobody knows, and nobody cares that it's Mardi Gras...
Laissez le bon temps roullez, y'all!
