I'll be doing the single-digit dance by the end of next weekend!!!

So, here's the planned magic:
Day 1 -

• Wake kids at 3:30am & whisk them to the airport. (hopefully everyone sleeps on the plane)
• DS's birthday (12) is the day before we leave, so hopefully the CM at ASSports will have read the fax and will wish him a happy birthday.
• That afternoon, we have PS for the Ice Cream Social (I haven't told my wife about this yet) and I've told them that I want to get "re-hitched." I just bought the earrings... (http://store3.yimg.com/I/bluedolphingold_1787_392906)
• We have a PS for dinner at our favorite restaurant. (Portobello's) DS gets a card and a slice of cake FOC!
• Unless everyone is completely wiped out, we *may* try out the EMH evening at MK.

Day 2 -

• CB at 1900 Park Fare
• dinner at 'Ohanas to see Wishes

Day 3 -

• awakening ceremony at Epcot

Day 4 -

• MGM & La Nouba!!!

Day 5 -

• Blizzard Beach and possible Epcot evening EMH

Day 6 -

• AK and go home

Last year was a magical trip, so I'm hoping this year is as good.

I'm glad you have planned so well,but if an opportunity comes up to experience something not on your agenda,ditch your plans and don't feel too guilty about it.

Thanks kiddo. At let me throw some pixie dust your way too! You're getting married in less than 2 weeks! I wish you and your hubby to be all the magic, luck and good health in the world.

You both will have to put together a trip report when you get back as well.

I agree. My wife and I have already talked about that. The only purpose of the "plan" is to make sure that we're not chasing down a PS somewhere so that we're in the right place at the right time. If we end up changing our minds and want to eat somewhere else, then we will.

Sponteneity is the spice of life.

Someone should explain that to Fred.

Thank you Matt! I cannot believe it's coming so fast! Time is absolutely flying! I'm already wired to the point that I can't sleep...(thus being why I posted half a dozen times at various wee hours of the morning.)

I promise I'm bringing a little notebook in my fanny pack, *just* for jotting down notes for my trip report!

Question: Are you skipping Fantasmic? It has become my new favorite show and while La Nuba is fantastic too, I would hate to see you miss that.

Matt,
I was supposed to give you a report on 1900 Park Fare!! I don't know if I'll have my trip report done before you leave, if I even do one. Honestly, I don't feel that I can give you a good or bad report. Not that it was bad...what I had was good but that morning was kind of a big blur. DBF and I did not start off on the right foot that morning and had a few words before we left for our PS. I didn't eat very much and what I did eat I can't remember what is was but I know it was good.

The characters were Alice, the Mad Hatter, Pooh, Tigger and Mary Poppins. We saw all of them but Mary Poppins. She was the "greeter" and very busy when we went in. We tried to catch her when we left but she had just left for tea. My sister actually watched her walk away, that is how much we missed her by. So if you PS are late morning (ours were at 10am, I think?), see the "greeter" first before they go for tea! The Mad Hatter was a riot, he freaked my boys (10/11) out for some reason. The couldn't give me a good reason but "he was just freaky" My DS (11)) LOVES Alice and he was in heaven when we saw her, his face turned a little red.

Sorry I can't give you a decent review on this place. I did think about you guys when we were eating, hoping I didn't disappoint you by not being able to help.
All in All it was very fun (for the kids) and what I do remember the food was good.

SORRY again.
Jennifer

I was just talking to DW about this last night and she's all psyched up for it. We have an 8:20 seating, so I think we'll be able to see everyone. DD already has an autograph from everyone except the Mad Hatter, so even if we do miss someone, it won't be that big a deal.

It's funny when reality gets in the way of the magic eh? Even in Disney, sometimes arguments are unavoidable.

Thanks again Jenny.
