Disney fun!

Hey everyone,

I hope everyone is excited as me that May is getting closer; I am looking forward to the trip. I have a few questions probaly Marie could answer but, we all should. Are we going to have our big meal at lunch time and each of us take a turn again like we did in Texas? I figure that if were going to relax a couple of hours at lunch time we could have our big meal than and just have sandwiches at night that we bring with us. Does that sound good to everyone? How did you guys work seeing the Disney Parks last time time you went ? My mom says the best way is a Park Hopper pass but, I have know idea. I haven't bought my park tickets yet but will be buying them in advance because I have a Disney Visa so I have $208 bucks I can get off my tickets, which I will be taking advantage of finally. ( I finally have a reason for this credit card)
Anyway if doing the meals the way I suggested sounds good let me know than we can just decide which day were taking. I figure me, Marie, Jana, Becky, and Monica can take one day Monday through Friday. Sunday we can all help together on a meal. Saturday the day we fly in we could just buy our food get pizza or something quick, easy and cheap. I don't think your parents should have to cook because they are paying for the house. Does that sound good? We can all just pitch in again on buying breakfast food and lunch food. Last time we had more than enough food. Just let me know how this sounds and when is everyone getting in to Florida.

Disney Fun

We think we've figured out a little of what we want to do. We are going to drive down from Connecticut. We'll start Friday night and stop at Cory's sister's house in Virginia. We'll stay there until after church (or at least after Sacrament) before heading the rest of the way to Orlando. So we'll probably make it in late Sunday. We are planning on buying a five day park pass - without the park hopper option. We decided we didn't want to pay the extra $135 ($45 per ticket) just to be able to go to more than one park each day. We hope to join every body for at least the evening portion, but hope that for at least two days we might all be able to go to the same park for both parts of the day. ( I liked Marie's idea of coming home for lunch and relaxing and having naps as necessary.) I also hope that at least one evening during the week we'll be able to have some family time to try those Olympic games that I enjoyed on New Years' Eve and mentioned on Skype. I hope we can also schedule a family picture sometime. If others are interested in switching off to allow others to go to the temple - we'd be in for that too.

The only draw back to our plan for driving is that we'll need to head out again on Saturday. I'm not sure how quickly. But I hope that is enough details from us to help others plan.

Disney World Planning

Hey everyone, we are coming up closer on the big trip to Disney World. I was hoping to get some feedback on how everyone else invisions their trip to be. Things like are we all gooing to go to the same park everyday or all do our own thing? is anyone going to any of the water parks? Are we doing other things besides Disney? When are you planning on getting there and leaving? Whose getting cars, who need what from the house like strollers and porta cribs, and any other pertinent information. I dont think anyone is going to get overly excited about planning, but I just thought we would all have more fun if we understand everyone elses expectations for the trip so we know what to plan for. Do people already have tickets, plane, or park or otherwise, and Craig do you still know how to get good parking passes? Instead of leaving your response as a comment, leave a full post of what you ant to do while we are there. I tend to get a little excited about big trips so sorry if Im palanning early, but hey thats just me!
