The wheels have been put in motion...

...and we are going to Disneyland!

January 2010 it is. Just a quick trip, nothing fancy, but it will be the girls' first trip and I am really excited. We will be taking it nice and slow and you can bet that I will be wielding a video camera!

Alice will be almost 3 (we'll be there until the day before her birthday!) and Violet will be 1.

I'm hoping we can squeeze WDW in before 2010 is out, but I'm not counting my chickens. Disneyland is good enough for me...I'm just happy to know I will get a Disney fix in less than 6 months! Now to go whip up a little countdown...

Re: The wheels have been put in motion...

It's going to be such a fun trip for you. You've got to get a picture of Alice when she see's the castle for the first time. You're in for a magic time. Now enjoy all the planning.

Re: The wheels have been put in motion...

Awesome, you will have a great time! January will be a nice time to visit, low crowds. Paradise Bay will be filled up by then and the new Paradise Park for World of Color will be completed as well, too bad you wont be going in March/April so you could see Disney's World of Color, but this show will be around for a LOONG time, so you will have plenty of time in the future to see it!

The girls are not-so-good at sleeping in the same room with us, so we are going to get a suite - we decided to go with Desert Inn & Suites because we've stayed there several times before and like it well enough. (It also has an indoor pool, which is great since we'll be there in the winter!) Plus this way we can walk to/from the park easily for pool breaks or naptime.

Yay! Happy planning! And I am in love with both of your girls' names, by the way.

This is a blessing! We always had the opposite problem with ours, of them not wanting to be in their OWN rooms!

I've heard this from several friends with kids now! I guess we should count ourselves lucky!! Violet sleeps great in our room (actually, I'm the one with separation anxiety when she's not there ) but Alice has never, ever showed an interest...not even when she was a baby! She has been in her own room since 4 months of age! I am working on putting the girls in the same room now, and they've taken to it like flies to honey: zero complaints.

I'm sure I can't get this lucky a third time, so I'd better enjoy it before we have any more kids!
