Disney World, Here We Come!!

If you didn't get it from the title of the blog, we're going to DISNEY WORLD! I have really been wanting to take Spencer for a while since he's never been, but the flights from Salt Lake City to Orlando have been SO high (like $600 per person). So when the flights dropped to less than $200 per person, we jumped on the chance to book our flights. We'll be going at the end of May through the first week of April, which is one of the best times to go since it won't be too crowded yet. And as anyone who knows our family can tell you, we're all BIG Disney fans. Little Maddie will be coming with us which adds to the excitement because i'll get to share the experience with my own child. Yes, she'll only be 11 months old, but it'll still be very magical nonetheless, especially for Spencer and I as we watch Maddie's reactions to rides, etc. To help us out with Maddie, my mom will be flying out to be with us and my sister who lives in Ft. Lauderdale will be coming up as well. This way, Spencer and I can still ride the fun, non-kid rides--we'll just do "baby swapping" (a cool feature of Disney which allows parties with children to "swap" rides, meaning one person goes while the other watches the kids and then gets to go RIGHT on rather than have to wait in line again). And Julie--if you're reading--you can come down and join the party too! :) We'd LOVE to have you there with us, if you can!

To get excited about the trip, our family will be counting down the days until we go. For family night tonight, we made a "countdown chain" that we put in our kitchen:

The sign says "We're going to Disney World In..." and the chains each have the number of days left. Currently, we have 92 days left! Yeah it's a bit away, but we're very much looking forward to this trip...if you can't already tell. And from now until then, we plan on introducing Maddie to as many Disney characters as possible by watching the plethora of Disney DVD's we have. :) We'll keep you posted on the countdown!! :) Zipidee Do Da!
