Omg...it felt like we were at the 30+ day mark forever...but we will be in the teens this week. I have a few last minute phone calls, putting together small gift bags together for the kiddos. (As a reminder we are a party of ten with five under the age of 18, dad is paying for the trip for his 80th birthday!)
We have Epcot Illuminations Cruise planned for our first night. We have a Disney tour guide planned for two days of our trip. We are just staying in three standard rooms... But it would be really awesome if we could get some pixie dust, but I'm sure everyone feels that way! I know it won't happen...but I can dream! There was just too much of a cost difference between getting one suite and a room, and getting three rooms. My brother has a large family, five kids, and they are used to getting a suite or similar style room...hope they won't be disappointed.
Since my husband and I are spending my dad's money, I could not justify the cost increase. Pixie dust would really help! I know the chances are very slim, but I want my dad to have the ultimate experience. He always scrimped and saved his whole life, never had any luxuries, and this trip is the first chance he has to really "live it up". We booked him first class for our flights to FL, we are all flying down on different days, it will be 4 of us in first, my 13 yr old nephew, my hubby, my dad and I. (We are doing a side trip to Universal.) My dad has never flown first class before....I am excited to see the look on his face when he realizes! My hubby used his FF points from his business trips, so we could do this! We are surprising him, and my nephew, when we get on the plane.
We had to make a few trip adjustments, like planning for 8 to go to church Sunday morning...now we are looking for a good breakfast 1 credit Character meal for 2 on Sunday, with only 24 days remaining! (We have it planned for them to go to Mary, Queen of the Universe for 9:30 mass.)
Anyway, our magic bands are being delivered today!!! 24 days left!!
