If you've been to Disney - come in!

We went for our honeymoon back in 1995. We stayed at Port Orleans but back then it was called "Dixie Landings." So this is our first time with the kids and a lot has changed since then. We are staying at the All Star Music in a family suite this time.

I finally got my reservations down. (for now) We have a lot of character meals because that's what the kids asked for. But I did them according to that park we are visiting that day or did a breakfast. I have a reservation for every night. I hope that isn't overkill.

And we are doing MNSSHP the first night we arrive. I had a friend tell me that we shouldn't miss it and I think it will be fun to kick off our vacation with a party!

I'm sooooooo excited. And I'm not sure how I'm going to keep my kids from driving me nuts over the next few months because they are asking 1000's of questions each day. My DD is detailed oriented like me and it seems like she expects me to have everything ready to go right now. I still have a lot of planning to do!!!

Oh, we're going to do a countdown chain starting at 100 days. I'm hoping that will my youngest understand that we aren't going tomorrow.

I'm trying to decide if we should do a dinner show. Any opinions on them?

we had a breakfast ressie every morning except for the last 2 and a dinner ressie every night and it was totally fine. We got everything done except for the Carousel of Progress (for some reason we never made it back to tomorrowland) and the Hall of Presidents.

oh wow! My first to WDW was in July 1995 and I stayed at Dixie Landings too! A lot has changed since then! It's just gotten so much better! I will say that I miss Pleasure Island though. I went to the Comedy Warehouse and the Adventurers Club like every night that I was there in 95. But I didn't have kids with me back then either. LOL

Le Cellier and Coral Reef were booked for our week (we booked kind of last minute), but we did get Flying Fish Cafe - looking forward to that!

Can someone clear up for me one thing... the Lodges (like Animal Kingdom) aren't inside "the park"?? I thought everything was inside "the park"? I've never been there - only going off maps!

No. None of the resorts are inside any of the parks. You can see parts of the savannah from some of the animal kingdom lodge rooms, but to go there to eat, you will have to leave a park and transport to the hotel. To get back to your hotel, you will have to transport back to a park and then back to your hotel.

But they are all part of Disney World - just not connected to the parks. lol does that make sense? lol
