We just came back from WDW & it was so much fun. Make sure you where very comfortable shoes because there is so much walking. The lines can be long but take advantage of the fast passes. My favorite ride was Soran in Epcot. Test track, the Epcot ball, the Norway ride, Mexico, the land and so much more in Epcot to see. Magic kingdom is great for the kids. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725663840409459861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-78484754982533599222010-06-11T14:34:40.117-04:002010-06-11T14:34:40.117-04:00Your outfits are absolutely adorable...and the bag...Your outfits are absolutely adorable...and the bags are too!

We are militant about getting up and to the parks before arrival (and leaving for a few hours for a nap), but I PROMISE you will thank me when you return! Just print out the pages with small kids and read them on the plane and make "cliff notes" for the park. Fastpass everything you can. Parker went with us last Sept and was a sport at 4months, but if we go back in Sept again he will stay with Grandma. Email me if you want restaurant tips and you have several more years for coordinated outfits, LOL, my big boys (and my Mom and I) wore Mickey shirts that matched the girls. We were a HIT everywhere we went with the outfits!!! We love MK and AK best. Epcot can wait until girls are older, HS is fun to see (and Mickey's Playhouse is there) Fantasmic but may be a bit scary for the girls at their ages. Do you have reservations for Bibbity Boppity Bootique for the girls? A must do as is CRT and some other character meals depending on what they like. Rent the boat for fireworks that leaves from the COntemporary, BEST view of FW. have a blast!mlfonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13191239340070697033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-88805932965987211752010-06-10T17:03:20.041-04:002010-06-10T17:03:20.041-04:00Have fun!!

OK so I'm throwing ...oohhhhh have fun fun FUN!! OK so I'm throwing in my 2-cents worth, alright? Not only did I live in O-town for years, I WORKED AT DISNEYWORLD, GIRL! Not to mention have taken the kids there a few times over the last 2-3 years so here goes; my biggest and best piece of advice is this; on the day(s) that you are going to a park....sleep in. Don't get all crazy and wake up early and get to the gates at the crack; it's not worth it. sleep in. eat breakfast, lounge at the pool and let the girls swim. Heck, wherever you stay is going to have such an awesome pool they're going to think they've arrived at the Magic Kingdom already! eat lunch, nap. seriously. THEN go to the park. It's freaking expensive to get in there, and I've seen hundreds of tired, crabby and cranky kids getting hauled back to their rooms by 3pm! The parks are better at night! And they are open so late. Try not to let the anxiety of not being at the park from sunup to sundown make you nuts. Believe me your girls are so young that even if you get to the park at say....2PM and the park closes at midnight or 1AM seriously...that's over 10 HOURS WALKING OR IN A STROLLER YIKES!!! You'll be happy you rested! And in the afternoon, go see all of the "timed" shows where it's cooler in the pavilions and you don't have to wait in lines...don't wait in lines for rides until after dinner when the park starts to clear out because all the crazy moms who got up at the crack are ready to go balistic. Secondary advice you ask? ok.....well if you insist.....go to the Magic Kingdom and forget the rest until they're older-esp EPCOT-and save your money. Everywhere you go will be delightful and wonderful and they'll never be able to take it all in....and you'll be a crazy person if you try to do all the parks everyday whew I get tired just thinking about it! Lastly....like Tracy said.....HEAD TO THE BEACH FOR THE DAY! Go to Clearwater and hang there for free! HAVE FUN I'M SO JEALOUS! (And you're making the right call with Bennett....I promise!!)<br />I also agree about the bags....so CUTE! You have to sell those!!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587714578258448217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-65114514798628746062010-06-10T14:51:20.988-04:002010-06-10T14:51:20.988-04:00So excited for you.

Your girls are going to have soooo much fun, and will look stunning in their outfits! <br />P.S. if you expect it to be busy and don't want to wait in lines, you may want to check out http://www.ridemax.com/ - we used it for Disney Land.

We are just an hour away. Definitely pack cool clothing. They are predicting really warm days for the next week down here. If you get tired of the parks, just come on over to the beaches. It is just an hour east of Orlando and we don't have to worry about oil spills here (yet). If you decide to head to the beaches, call me. It would be fun to meet you and your family. 321-426-4071Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17491503506276550427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-57287303307845034292010-06-10T13:59:09.263-04:002010-06-10T13:59:09.263-04:00How cute are those outfits?

I am sure you will have a wonderful time with the girls:) And I am sure that Bennett will be fine (and i am sure he will be doing BETTER than you). LOL!!! Aren't grandparents just GRAND??!!!<br /><br />Having been to Disney numerous times both before and after kids, I would have to say, just take your time and really enjoy seeing things through your daughters eyes. Disney is huge and always growing, you probably won't see everything anyway. Don't rush, just really enjoy it. It WILL be the SMALL stuff that are going to make the BEST memories:) The excitement in their eyes WILL be priceless!!<br /><br />ENJOY!! Safe travels......looking forward to the pics!!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643251885429921088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-48936852482759599822010-06-10T13:24:25.759-04:002010-06-10T13:24:25.759-04:00Oh, you are so making me miss home...I am from the...Oh, you are so making me miss home...I am from the great land of Mickey Mouse! I have been to Disney World so many times...but it just never looses it's magic. I totally agree with your decision not to bring Bennett...there isn't really anything for a 1 year old to do at all and it will be far too hot for him. Cherish this time with your girls...they are going to love, love, love it! Make sure you stay at the Magic Kingdom for the fireworks show, it will be a late night for the girls, but it is AMAZING! Oh, I miss home!!! BTW I love the kid's bags...will you be adding those to your shop?Runningmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248750625897632738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-8516068098375801282010-06-10T12:34:12.229-04:002010-06-10T12:34:12.229-04:00Oh my gosh those clothes and bags are adorable!

Your girls will love the one one one. My hint for you would be to head back to your hotel around lunch and give the girls lunch and a rest/nap . Then when you head back they will be able to last the rest of the day and on into the night. Also the food is very expensive in the parks and they won't allow you to take your own food into the parks ( at least they didn't when we were there) but most of all HAVE FUN~!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09967195377719769332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4712724707041141717.post-42161492683644325332010-06-10T08:41:22.989-04:002010-06-10T08:41:22.989-04:00I hope you have a great trip!!

The kids (even the 7 year olds) were just too hot and tired at the end of the day and it is totally worth it!<br /><br />If you bring a cup/lid/straw, they will give you free ice, just about anywhere in the park and it melts really fast and it great for the kids to have.<br /><br />We always sit behind the castle kind of near the tea cups because you can see the fireworks from the castle and the water behind and it is so less crowded. (but maybe this first time they want to see it from the front). Just be aware that people start lining up for the parade and fireworks HOURS in advance.<br /><br />Have a great time!!!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915395779182043474noreply@blogger.com
