Disney. The Most Magical Place on Earth. I believe that. I do. We all know those families who go to Disney 18 times a year (it seems like that anyway!), but we aren’t that family. We went to Disney 7 years ago (2008) when the boys were 5 and 3! We saved and saved and took the plunge. Zoe is 6 and LOVES all things Disney – especially the princesses. So we sought help from our Disney travel agent (who happens to live right next door) and we headed to Orlando!
We had a blast. We opted to stay in one of the Value Resorts – the GREAT thing about value resorts is they are HIGHLY THEMED (which the kids love), have all the magic of Disney, and the price is awesome! (Especially for us since we get 2 rooms for our family!) We also went during a “Free Dining” time. Of course we had to upgrade that to get the dining experiences we wanted, but it saved us a tremendous amount of money.
I planned character meals and coordinating outfits and scheduled which days we would be in which parks and we set off on an adventure!
I am so thankful my parents were able to go with us on this trip. It was truly a magical trip and one to remember for years to come. I hope it won’t be another 7 years before we get to go back again. We told Mickey “See Ya Real Soon”!
