SOOOO excited...we start our trip 4 weeks from today...cannot wait!!!
When and where: Aug 11- my mom, DDs and I hit the road from MD. We stop for one night near Savannah, GA and then check in at SSR on Aug 12...then we switch over to BWV on Aug 15...then we check out on Aug 17 and head up to HHI to meet up with the fellas for 5 nights there. We have a 1BR at SSR, a studio at BWV (should be interesting) and then a 2BR at HHI and my mom and her BF have their own condo in Shelter Cove Marina.
Who: Me-41...mom-66...twin DDs-15 for the WDW part and then we'll add DH-41...DS-17 and mom's BF-65 for the HHI part of the trip.
I made ADRs for every night and wanted to try new places so we have: Raglan Road, BOG, Via Napoli and Akershus. I also have Beaches and Cream which was requested by my DDs and is new to my mom (we have brought her on 2 other WDW trips)...booked for early lunch on resort switch day (day we check into BWV). I originally booked a 4 night trip but then added a 5th and decided to book the Luau as a surprise to my DDs (we have been one other time and they liked it...my mom has never been). I have TIW card AND over $500 on a Disney Rewards Redemption card to use towards dining.
I have made FP+ selections and tweaked them MANY times. I had a tough time as I am trying to please my mom (no big thrill rides for her) and my teen DDs (love the big thrill rides). Also, I likely am the only one of the four of us who will be up at 7am...the others are late risers and slow movers. To top all that off, my mom has a bad knee and also has some edema issues...so it will need to be a slower paced trip (thankfully DH isn't with us for the WDW part or he'd be pushing commando style on us). So, I am going with low expectations and we might not make our FP+, we may change things up a lot...who knows but I plan to roll with the punches. At least I am going into the trip well aware of the situation.
My DDs and I have new PAPs we have to activate and we got my mom 4 day park hoppers plus (may add a night when we get there to make it 5 day hoppers). Just got e-mail that first set of MBs have been shipped. I think we are well set for the trip. I have been collecting stuff in a pile that I'll need to pack. I wish these 4 weeks would hurry up already!!!
