Let the Research Begin

As everyone knows, I am a planning person. So naturally when it came time to plan the vacation I did my research! When you go to find books on Disney World you are confronted with a few shelves full..no joke! But I found one to be the most helpful:





Fodor's Walt Disney World® with Kids 2008

I also used two books to help get Hadley in the mood for Disney World (I know, what kid needs help getting in the mood for Disney World):



Birnbaum's Walt Disney World For Kids 2008

I also had a book me and Jason had bought on our Disney trip 6 yrs ago that had all pictures of the rides, attractions and shows of all the resorts. She has been looking through this for a long time, finally I am able to say we are going there!

Of course the wonderful world wide web was also helpful! Listed to the right is a list of sites I have looked through to assist in planning. Some came from my travel agent, Julie. (thanks again Julie!)

Now you ask, "what are you going to do with all this info?" Me, being the organized planner I am, have compiled in a small notebook sections for each park with tabs that list some of the highlights I don't want to forget, i.e. the rides with fast pass, parade times, etc. I also have another reason for having the notebook, I plan to write down things Hadley says and her reactions so I don't forget it all be the time we come back!

This all sounds like I am going to plan too much, and that is not the case. I plan on doing things as we get there and letting Hadley decide what we will do, after all Disney is for the kids, Right?! But it is nice to have the tips handy..and to know what to expect when traveling with a preschooler!
