Christmas with the little ones PTR

[figaro2]

Hi!
I've been waiting for so long to start this PTR (since we booked in August!) now it's a officially 1month today til we set off I can't wait any longer!
I got the Disney bug in July and began randomly pricing up trips then when my mum found out her and nearly everybody else we know decided to join us lol (my mum can't resist a Disney trip!)
So we are staying at the Cheyenne from 15th November for four nights and five days!


Cast -

Me - Becki, 23, Disney and dlp obsessed! I've lost count but I'm somewhere around 10 trips now

DH - Stuart, also 23, 2nd trip, I converted him 2 years ago when we took our first Disney trip together!

DS1 - Jesse, age 3, obsessed with toy story and lion king (and batman, spiderman and power rangers but lets not get in to that!) 1st ever trip!

DS2 - Teddy aged 5months (will be 6months when we go) 1st trip!

Also

My mum - Lynn, gets more excited than I do and fits in as many trips as she can, I've lost count now lol

My sister - Sammi, 20 also a massive Disney obsessive

My sister - Brit, 12 (will turn the big 13 while we're there!) been on more trips than me possibly

And also joining us is our family friend Charlie and her son Nicholas who is 4 think this is their 2nd trip

Coming next plans and travel bags!

*Update*

Was going to take pics of the bags etc tonight but got too involved in gods of the arena.. So will do that tomorrow when Jesse is at nursery.

So plans!

We don't have things set in stone just a rough idea as with the kids I don't want to be either boring them or overwhelming them!

Wednesday 14th nov - will be setting off when DH finishes work, collecting Jess from the inlaws where he'll be staying for a couple of days before we go, straight on the motorway down to ashford premier inn!

Thursday 15th nov - booked the tunnel for 6am so hope to be up and off early and hopefully getting to dlp around lunchtime, we plan to spend the afternoon just 'our' family of me DH and the boys as I want jess to explore and not have to wait for everyone else to decide what they want to do, meet back up with the group for dinner at Annettes (first night tradition)

Friday 16th nov - my sisters birthday, think we are thinking of doing dlh breakfast this day not too sure yet. Will be spending the day with the group as far as I know, Birthday dinner is booked at cafe mickey

Saturday 17th nov - im assuming this day will be busy so plan to take it easy and do some shows in the studios, back to the room for a nap for the kids early afternoon. The group are off to blue lagoon for dinner but myself and DH are not too keen on the menu so were thinking pizza planet (if it's open) for our boys. Want to try and stay in the park til 10pm

Sunday 18th nov - again assuming it will be busier so up for emh then back to the Cheyenne for a nap around 12ish, we have inventions Sunday brunch booked for 2pm which we are excited about so will go to this then back to the parks and try to stay til closing again. Will most likely get an EOS or Caseys for dinner after our brunch!

Monday 19th nov - we leave today but not til tea time, today will be spent repeating favourites and last minute shopping. Goodbye early dinner at Annette's (again tradition) back to ashford premier inn

Tuesday 20th nov - drive back home to Huddersfield

Your boys are cuties. Love reading your plans. Annettes before we leave is tradition with us too. Dont forget the fleecy blankets for the boys. We were over last November and Dd was fine walking (6) but Ds would have been perished in the buggy without his thick blanket and to be honest it wasnt even as cold i thought it would be.

Aw thanks
I'm planning to take some blankets for the pram and my own bedding for the crib too, I'm hoping it's abit milder than last time, we went in nov 2010 and it was pretty cold then! x

I'm just trying to workout how much spends we will have and what clothes I need to buy the boys etc at the moment! x

 

[tinks_1989]

That's a tough one

That's a tough one

I can't decide what to pack! Last time it was pretty cold, but one day was a lot warmer and we didn't need coats!
Suppose layers are the key! x

 

[threegoodfairies]

I know, its only three weeks now and its not that cold here. I'm not sure what to pack either. Its a difficult one.

On the other hand its coming closer all the time and I'm very excited
