We got up at 530am yesterday to start our online dining reservations at 6am on the web. I had my spreadsheet made and ready. It was successful! We got everything we wanted excpet a time change garden grill wanted 4:30 got 6:30, but that ok. next step is to buy the plane tix and then wait for them to release the mickey's not so scary Halloween party tickets.

2011 is here..which only means one thing...PLANNING! Now that we are in the same year as our next Disney vacation it feels a little bit more real! We still have NO idea of the school schedule so we can book, hopefully we will know something soon and Disney will put a deal out there and we can snag it!
In the mean time I have been researching more on Disney restaurants so i will be good and ready to make reservations 180 days before our vacation which could be some time in May? Crazy, which means by then i will need to try to find out which parks will be open for magic hours on our days so i can plan meal reservations according to what park we are out!


Whew! I also plan on buying a new planning notebook just for all the Disney planning!

There will always be roadblocks!!

As with any vacation planning there will always be roadblocks, we have had alot of things going on in our lives the past month, that could very well de rail our Disney plans. After thinking a bit our plans are back on! I know we will have some roadblocks, but i just have to remember it's all part of the planning process. Well 1 year ago today we were half way thru our Disney 09 vacation..the kids have been talking alot about it lately, we have out picture up in front of the castle and the Christmas Ornaments we got from Disney out hanging on our vacation tree.
Now if we could just get the school board to get the school schedule out for next year so we could put in for our vacation time and book as soon as there is a deal!
