These posts are mainly for the girls when they get older to see what we were thinking as we geared up for this first trip to the "Happiest Place one Earth!"
The first thing I can say is that we are extremely excited to be going. Second I had NO idea there was as many things to consider or frankly the amount of options available. For this reason we have had to make several changes to our reservations to find the best fit for us.
This is a public service announcement,.. Anyone considering a trip to Disney with small ones in toe start your research well before you book it. There is a great website that has vast information.
This is a fan site, and is awesome!
Gives insight on how to do Disney and not go broke.
Right now we happy that Free Dining has been announced!! We have to wait until Monday at 7am to make the changes. This is going to save us $7.76! It would be more but we want the flexibility of the hopper tickets so we are going to upgrade.
For our money we are getting 8 days/7 nights at the Coronado Springs Resort, The dining plan (this includes 1 table service, including all character meal, 1 counter service, and 1 snack-all for free) for Chris, Lily and I. Charley is too young too count! She can have portions from our plates. We have the hopper tickets, we can visit any of the parks as many of times as we like during our stay.
This is our Resort
Complete with a resident crocodiidle (Lilyism)
We liked this resort for one basic reason it reminded us of Guatemala.
This is one of the pools
Lily was very excited to see the crocodile picture! She actually said that he/she was cute! She has a thing for them!As far as planning the trip.. remember I am married to a planner we have 2 spread sheets! One is color coded! Crazy maybe, but if we get everything packed then we are good!!
That is about it for now. Monday will be a big day and then we need to wait until 6/6 to call into make our dining reservations! We are lunching in Cinderella's Castle on day. From what I have been reading that is one hot ticket!

$7.76 ????? I thought it was a bit more then that you were saving...
Also I was never told about the crocodiles at the resort..... MomMom is not having warm fuzzy feelings knowing there is a crocodile in residence at your resort.......
