Totally crazy.
It would have been so much easier to pack a suitcase with swimsuits and sit at a tropical beach for a week, but that is not our style. When we do something, we pick the most stressful, chaotic option and go for it.
Completely crazy.
But after our second visit as a family of five, I now consider myself a Disney expert and am here to help you folks in any way possible to make your trip there successful. You are welcome.
Pay me with Disney cards so I can buy more Minnie Mouse stuff just because I love her so.
Stuff you should know when planning a trip to Disney.
*make yourself a pretty Disney folder to keep all of your papers/lists. It's fun.
*prepare a schedule. There are 4 Disney parks. You must visit them all. Magic Kingdom should be a two day visit. Just sayin'.
*stay at a Disney resort. It is worth it. We always stay at a value resort {cheapest and low end} but it is still nice, clean and perfect for a young family. We have had no complaints and will continue to stay at one until our kids are older and choose not to join us!
*sign up for the Disney Dining Plan and make dining reservations early because restaurants book fast
*there are no bad restaurants. I shouldnt say that I guess because everyone is different and has different experiences. I will say that we have never had a bad meal.
*when you stay at a Disney resort, you are given complimentary transportation for your entire stay. You do not have to rent a car or take a taxi. Just hop on Disney's Magical Express to get anywhere throughout all of Disney property. We love it!
*pack wet bum wipes because the toilet paper sucks
*research. Find out about any special events that may interest you during your trip and book them right away if they require separate reservations/tickets. Events fill up quickly and you must book them months in advance.
------we bought tickets for the Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom back in July for November. The night of the party and for the rest of the week they were sold out.
------Princess had a Princess makeover at Cinderella's Castle. I booked it in July for a November appointment and it was the last one for the entire week.
It was quite possibly the cutest thing I have ever witnessed.
I wanted to bring her back the next day so she could be Snow White
...and then the next day to be Belle.....
...and then the next day to be Ariel...
I even asked if it would be weird if I made an appointment for myself to be Tinkerbell.
They said yes.
Hmph.

A princess makeover! I had no idea they did that! I'll have to make an appointment for Bug when we go!
That is too cute for words!
Oh my goodness, I love that. She looks awesome.
We haven't been to Disney yet but I want too oh how I want to take the kids.
Just helped a friend complete a disney scrapbook - and she had 3 makovers done. A princess one for her little girl and pirate makeovers for the boys. SO adorable!!
Yay!! We love DW too. We took our family of 6 two years ago. ANd when daddy gets home from saving the world we are going to take our family of 7! Staying at a resort is so wonderful. Transportation is skuper convenient! I love the crazy that comes with big family vacations!! I only have boys, though, and didn't get to participate in anything princess. I'm jealous...really, really jealous!
Excellent advice … even though we are a non-Disney family (shocking I know). Heck, I want a princess makeover too!
