The first week after Rachel was born, all I could think about was how much I wanted to take her to Disney World for her second birthday. A ridiculous thing to be consumed with immediately post-partum, I realize, but hey, I don't control these things. ;) Then when I got pregnant again the implications of what that would mean for our family included having to scrap trips like this and a lot of general unfairness between siblings. But after the tragedy that was the end of that pregnancy, a ray of sunlight shone through: we may still be able to take Rachel to Disney World for her second birthday, and fairness in the family will be restored! :)
Naturally, we invited my mom, the Disney Junkie, along with us again (the built-in babysitter was a necessary and much appreciated aspect), however, she declined due to 'probably not being able to get the time off work at that time of year.' So, we opted to invite the girls' other grandparents. They are not what I would describe as Disney Junkies, but after discussing with Josh, we figured they would still enjoy themselves. And hey, its only fair. ;) So, plans were put in motion, and savings for our trip were accumulated before Rachie even hit her first birthday.
There is a lot of new stuff since we were there last, and I am really excited to see the new expansions. I was on top of booking all of our fun meals ahead of time (in October, haha) just so we would be able to get into the fun restaurants (despite that our trip had yet to be booked). But, as of today, we have booked the whole package: flights, resort, dining plan, and tickets. I am also really excited to use the new features on the Disney World website to schedule some fun things in for us to while visiting.
Now we just have to send off for the little one's passport. Here's her mugshot. :)

OMGoodness. Her 'mugshot' totally reminds me of a baby photo of Danielle that used to hang upstairs!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm excited for you and to hear all about it. I'm thinking maybe I will take Avery at some point. He loves the Ariel on his invitation, and Terry keeps trying to give him Spiderman stickers at gymnastics but Avery would rather have the princess ones. :)
