Preliminary Disney World Vacation Week

As promised in my previous post, here is what our week in disney world looks like.  Now, this is not set in stone because many things are still up in the air. I still am twoo weeks away from my 180 day mark. So I still don't have my ADR secured. Therefore,  the table service restaurants listed are what I am hoping for.  Also, as we all know, Disney is well known for changing their park hours,  so that might also change my decisions of what days  I  have planned. But for now, this is what have set up. In any case, I can easily  cut and paste and rearrange.

If you look at how I planned my days, you will see that I tried my best to plan so that our dining will be either at the same park or in the vicinity, so to avoid excess time loss in transportation etc.

You will notice there are areas in which I have question marks. These basically mean that I am not quite sure what we are doing and that is open to do whatever we feel like doing at that moment.

The Surprise Is RUINED!!!!! (Kind of)

Like you read from the the blog title, the suprise is over. But let me not get ahead of myself and explain myself. Its is over in the sense that my husband has found out about my secret disney vacation plans. Yes, you read right! But don't worry, my daughter still remains completely unaware.  But let me explain the what,  and why  etc..

So it all started one afternoon when my husband was seriously planning and talking about bringing his patents for a visit over from Mexico. Which I thought was a great idea since it was something he has been wanting to do for quite a while. That is until he mentioned WHEN he was planning to bring them over.  The dates he mentioned were right around the times I had planned for our Disney vacation.  So when I saw how serious he was, I felt I needed to act, fast, before he did anything.  So in a way I was forced to'fess up my plans.  By the way,  I did record the whole moment, and I uploaded to my youtube channel. But since I don't want any chances of the surprise being ruined, I have those vlogs private until after I have reveled the surprise to my daughter.

But basically, here is a rundown: he was in disbelief, shock, and surprise.  And it wasn't until I was editing the video, that i realized how hard he was trying to disguise a smile!

In a way, I am releived that he now knows because keeping quiet was driving me crazy!  Now I have my partner in crime with whom I can get excited with.  Also,  it was getting a bit too stressful planning everything.

So yes,  my husband now knows. And we are now planning together, well,  somewhat together.  I am still the one mostly doing the planning. Speaking of which. .... guess who almost has the itinerary complete? ?? That's right!  I do! In my next blog post,  I will share my preliminary agenda.  Which includes which parks we will be going to on which days. Where we will be dining and all the fun stuff! So stay tuned!
