Beginnings of the Trip of a Lifetime

Little background:) This is mine and my girls first trip to WDW. My MIL who is taking us there has been a few times. I have just started the planning but already I am learning a few things. We just decided a couple of weeks ago to go. Lesson #1-- When planning a WDW Vacay start a year in advance. The upside is you can pretty much get everything you want reservation wise, downside is you have to wait a year for your Vacay. Me, I would rather do it the way we are doing it. I would drive everyone crazy in a year:) Anyway, don't say I didn't warn you.
So how did this all start? Well my MIL told me a few weeks ago she wanted to take us on a trip to WDW. Between me and you,  I was super excited. However, I was nonchalant, lol. The first order of business was to tell my girls. The princesses of this vacay are Alianna, age 10 ( 11 when we leave) and Dakotah, age 12. Neither have been on a plane and are actually very nervous about planes. So I set them both down to talk to them about flying and to make sure they would be willing to get on a plane and go. They both said Yes, so systems were all a go. After that I tried my best to extract myself from the situation. After all November is a ways away. A lot can happen from now until November. What if we don't get to go? So I let my MIL and my girls start eagerly looking over all the parks. Picking and choosing things to do. Sweet MIL is allowing each one of us to have one special dinner so the girls eagerly looked at all the restaurants. I got on this to:) I was blissfully extracted and pleasantly told everyone " I will do anything you guys want to do". All that changed after one fateful phone call from my MIL...... stay tuned for more....

UP NEXT.... Frantic Reservations and me going into planning mode.
