DDA Chapter 6

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Honestly, Vicki, it looks a little ambitious. But you already know that, so you already understand that you might not manage all of those things.
When we have tried to go to PM EMH at MK in August it has been so packed we couldn't move. June may not be as bad. I think the biggest issue will be crowds and the amount of time it takes to move your group from point A to point B. If the kids want to get in the pool at the resort and then rest afterwards it will consume mass amounts of time.
Even though DS appears to have boundless amounts of energy at home, WDW wears him out. He fights about getting up in the morning, fights about getting up from nap, and falls asleep on the buses. On the other hand, he argues about going to sleep at night and claims he doesn't need naps. We can't do AM EMH and make it all the way through fireworks more than once every few days, even with a break.

You'll figure it all out! You guys are going to have a wonderful time!

Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Chip, & Dale. All are dressed in their beach wear This is only for breakfast though, I do not think their are characters for dinner.

So glad to hear you booked your resort!

Which characters are generally at Cape May?

Thanks! I am re-thinking breakfasts going with the late breakfast/early lunch theory. We probably won't go to Cape May for breakfast, too, but maybe...

So what would you give up? Remembering that this could be the only time my niece & nephew get to Disney in their childhood. I'm thinking of giving up WCC, the campfire, singalong & movie. I put that in there because it is something that I remember from when we stayed when I was little. However, my sister does not remember it.

We usually take a 2 hour break at the resort. I have that in there for most days. It is just Sunday and Thursday that I'm concerned about for those.

We won't stay until the end of EMH every night. We will just be there until we are ready to head out which will probably be 11pm most nights. My sister and her kids are very early risers! I mean very early! I'm not worried about them making it to the parks early. My girls can sleep in if they want. They don't have to be at everything with us.

Do you want to hear something depressing? There is white stuff coming down outside!

Elizabeth sounds like you have had a productive day cleaning. I got a giggle out of your vacuum mishap

Deb, yea for finishing with all the trees today!

Vicki your schedule looks a little hectic, but then it looks like the schedule I have made for August I normally do not bother with the early morning hours, but with going in the hottest part of the year I plan on trying them this time. I love extra hours at night, so we will be doing those as well. If we get to burnt out, we will slow down & just hang out at the resort for a while. I do plan on breaks everyday, so hopefully that will help as well. The only parade I am interested in seeing is the new one at HS.

If this were just a trip for Chuck, I & the girls, it wouldn't look anything like this. Actually, this looks similar to the one from our first trip which I thought would be my one & only.

Since Star Wars week-end was added, I have even more added in there. That totally threw things off for me.

 

[tinknme]

No! That is very depressing, I hope to not see anymore white stuff for quite a while!

You will all have a wonderful time no matter what you decide

I think I'm trying to do too much. I want to make sure we do the important things but get the rest we need so that they aren't worn out by the end.

Maybe it is just me, Vicki... but this certainly screams GO GO GO to me! Opening to closing, even with breaks in the middle of the day would wear me out!

 

[tinknme]

You are right, I don't think Mickey was there!

we saw Goofy, Minnie, Chip and Dale!

we had the same thing awhile ago

Well, Tammi and her clan had great weather for Nicholas' party today.

Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to run over there and wish him well.

My washer is sitting in my backyard and the new Maytag will be delivered and installed tomorrow morning, according to the delivery service. The outdoor floodlights have been reinstalled and the flourescent fixture in the laundry room has been replaced.

I also purchased and then put down 8 bags of mulch, planted some geraniums and put out 4 hanging baskets. My garden has begun!

I am exhausted!

 

[PNO4TE]

It was absolutely beautiful here today with temps in the upper 80s (and still 81), but there are thunderstorms all around us and we ought to see them before the night is over. NO SNOW, though!

Vicki-we didn't have breaks and we didn't do that much!! I would think anything after 9 pm and your niece and nephew will be wiped!! Though EWP is one thing I remember from my childhood (and my kids loved it last summer). We really only stayed out late one night....MK. The rest we left the parks and were back in our room by 11. Resting each day might help to lengthen your days, but remember there may be long times on the buses.
Yes, everybody can sleep when they get home but you don't want the kids being so tired they don't remember anything. The magic is in being there and being with family not in seeing everything.

It was so cold here today that I turned the heat back on

Yep! You got it in one!
