Disney Bound!

In about one week, Ross and I are picking up and taking the kids to Disney World. I’m pretty excited (and now pretty poor!) and literally can’t stop planning! I want to make sure this experience is once and a lifetime for my family! My mom bought the kids new Ear Hats (well, Noelle wanted to pink sparkly Minnie Ears headband…but whatever) and autograph books for all the character spots!

We are renting a mini van (in order to pack all of Noelle’s equipment with us) to drive from Virginia to Flordia and getting to see some friends along the way!! Believe me when I say…there won’t be room for anything extra in our van.

So, I’m reaching out to those who have been to Disney World with kids (ours are 4 & 6) before! What are some of the activities that you would place at the top of your to do Disney list? What are some things you wished you had skipped?

Noelle will be in her wheelchair, so I’m not too worried about lines. She would never make it from the parking lot to the gate…let alone around the park! We are planning to go to the parks in the morning, come back mid afternoon for a nap (Noelle will never make it for a full day…after 5 hours at school she takes a 2-3 hour nap as it is) and then be back at the park for dinner and evening activities.

Also, we purchased a dining package. What places to you recommend? I need recommendations for reservation and quick dine places!

I recently downloaded the My Disney Experience App on my iPhone. I also downloaded the Disney Maps app. Are there any other apps to download before we go?

Thanks for the advice ahead of time! We are super excited!!!
