So, my husband and I have just booked our next trip to WDW, and it's a long way off. Until the day to board the plane arrives, I've been consoling myself by reading Disney-related blogs, watching Disney videos on YouTube, and scrolling through Disney forums. As I've been reading, I've developed quite a list of things I'd love to do at Disney that I haven't done yet. Here goes!
- Have dinner at 1900 Park Fare with Cinderella's wicked stepsisters at the Happily Ever After dinner. I've read all about this, and apparently it's a hoot! We've eaten at Cinderella's Royal Table already, so this is something new. It's on the agenda for our 2-week family trip in 2015!
- Check out the mermaid makeover at the Pirate's League. On our last family trip, we got my niece a princess makeover at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, and on our next family trip all three girls (my two nieces and my daughter) will be old enough for makeovers. I think this is one we'll definitely have to try out, especially since next year's birthday party is going to have an under the sea theme!
3. Go to the Chip and Dale campfire sing along and make s'mores. This just sounds so fabulous, but we often tour the parks from open to close. At some point we'll definitely have to slow down and check this out.
4. Head over to the River Roost Lounge at Port Orleans Riverside to join in Yehaa Bob's piano sing along. We just love to sing!
5. Book a Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage. How amazing must it be to see the fireworks from the middle of the Seven Seas Lagoon? I honestly don't know why we haven't tried this before, although it could be because we've been distracted by the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party...
6. Take surfing lessons at Typhoon Lagoon. Seriously! They open early in the morning and teach you how to surf. Very cool!
7. The minute my daughter gets old enough, take her to the My Disney Girl's Perfectly Princess Tea Party. Who cares what it costs? (*cough* my husband *cough*) Eila's my Disney girl, and she deserves this! It'll be the perfect mommy and daughter day.
8. Take the Disney Family Magic Tour. Eila hasn't been old enough, yet, but she will be in time for our next trip...
9. Book Eila for one of the Disney Youth Education field trips. These sound so amazing, and the teacher in me just loves how Disney uses these opportunities to turn a fun vacation into an in-depth learning experience.
10. Dine with an Imagineer at Hollywood Studios. My husband and I really want to do this, but our daughter hasn't been old enough, and something makes me cringe about leaving her with a babysitter while we're on our family vacation. Maybe the next time we travel with Auntie and Uncle and Mimi we can check this out without feeling too guilty....
This list is just the beginning...there's so much more I want to add. It's a good thing we're DVC members, so we'll have years and years to try this all. Stay tuned for part 2 of this list. To be continued.....
