Cast of Characters:

Me: 33 yr old Disney Addict and planner
DH: 33 yr old Disney Addict, one of the reasons we are together
DS: 4 yr old Disney nut in training

This is the first time I have done any reports of our vacations. I am going to try this time because I really enjoy reading how others spend their days in WDW. It’s a great way to keep the magic alive.

This will be our son’s fourth trip. :mickey: He is turning into a Disney lover just like his parents. This is the first trip that it will just be the three of us. We normally go with friends or family but felt we needed a family trip just for us this time.

So let’s see, we will be flying :plane: in September 19th on Southwest and arriving in Orlando at about 11:30am and taking ME to POFQ. This is our second stay at POFQ and I think we have found our resort of choice. It is the smallest resort and the CMs are extremely helpful. We plan on doing the online check-in so I am hoping check-in will be fast and maybe our room will be ready. Will settle into our room if it is ready and if not we will go straight to Epcot. My son loves this park because of the giant “golf ball”. We have a 4:15pm ADR for the Garden Grill. Have never eaten here before but have heard good things and DS LOVES :dale::chip:

Our plans for the week are to relax and have fun :joy:. Since we go almost every year we are not going to push ourselves to do everything. We are going to take a slower pace and do the things we really want.
