hey! wow i envy you! lol. But im going to disney in just 2 weeks so I'll be ok. Lets see....Do u have plans to eat at O'Hana's? I ate there for my birthday in feb. and it was great!!! It's an all u can eat buffet ( kind of pricey because it is shrimp, steak, and ribs i think) The food is great, and u don't have to get up, they have people walking around with huge shishkabobs and they come to you! lol. The people there are great. Lets see what else....dont miss the water pageant parade thingie on the lake next to ur hotel. When we stayed at the contemporary we could see it perfectly from the 10th floor, it was so pretty and relaxing! Um....thats all i can really think of other thne take a break during the day which i bet u already know....O and dont forget to ride the monorail around and explore the grand floridian and Contemporary they are all such beautiful hotels and there's no charge to get in! lol. well have fun!

p.s. I completly forgot this but U have to do it!! On the 15th floor of the contemporary there is an observatory deck, once you get off of the elevator ask the nearest cast member to show you the way. You walk out onto the top of the contempoary and get a perfect birds eye view of the magic kingdom and all the delux resorts!! I got countless pictures of the park up there because the contemporary is so close to the park...it is outdoors though and if your kids are afraid of hieghts then I dont know if you should take them, ur not hanging off the edge though, its a walk way going straight down the middle of the roof. O and you'll probably have the place to yourselves!

Your so lucky to be going now! My trip isn't until August and I'm already planning the trip after that, that's how excited I am! :) I hope you have lots of fun! The only advice I have is to take lots of pictures, especially if it's your children's first time! Have fun!

ohhh your going to love the Poly .. when we stayed there they were so great with the kids .. while I was checking in the CM's entertained the girls .. and there is story time in the evenings with "fresh Baked" cookies .. a big draw for my youngest granddaughter Barbie.. If you havent all ready planned to you should try to have Breakfast with Minnie there too :) Have a wonderful Magical time crlejeune!! I do have one little suggest .. be sure and take any email addys you might want to send an email picture from Innoventions at Epcot to friends ( and me lfwelch@sydcom.net) to show off how much fun your having !!!!!

My suggestion would be to make sure you take two swimsuits each. With little kids at the Poly, you will be swimming a lot. Make sure you check out the new pool at the Grand Floridian (a nice walk) and the Contemporary (resort monorail). Also, make sure you eat at Kona Cafe at least once for breakfast. It is out of this world!

Have a great trip!

ok now I know your all going to laugh at me ..but I have dreams about disney world ..real .. I am sleeping but dreaming I am at WDW .. last night I dreamed I went up on the observation deck on the comtemp!!!!! btw .. a note .. I bought DH the comtemp to go with his monorail this year .. I wanted to get him both the comtemp and SSE but he wouldnt let me .. I think I might can call down there and get one any way and surprise him for fathers day.

Gosh, only 3 days...I'm so jealous...lol:D

It sounds like you have everything planned out pretty well, but I have one small little tip for ya. Make sure you get one of the frozen lemonades. I know they have a little stand over in Frontierland across the street from The Country Bear Jamboree. I usually make my way to that area to watch the 3:00 parade, and have one of these awesome frozen lemonades to cool me off while I wait.

Have a great trip. ;)

Definitely don't miss going ontop of the Contemporary Resort (15th floor) for the evening fireworks. This is a must!!! Breath taking.......

I proposed to my wife during those fireworks and it will obviously remain a very special place/occassion to me for the rest of my life.

Make sure you eat dinner at Rainforest Cafe at Downtown disney! Have a great trip!

First, have a great trip, and don't forget to post reviews when you come back. My recommendation, with kids that age, is to make sure you do at least one character breakfast-your kids will love it. Try booking Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary, and you won't be sorry.:) :) :D :D

Hey, have a great time. We're staying at the Poly in June, so I'm looking forward to reading your trip report when you get back.
Only 31 more days.......:)
