Disney August 2019

So back in August, we made a 100% completely spur of the moment trip. Like we started discussing it a week before leaving. And we didn’t even decide we were officially going until the day before. Brad was getting the Disney itch, my annual pass was still good, and we had points to that would cover the costs of the hotel. We would literally only pay for food, gas, and Brad and Melody’s tickets. It was also Brad’s birthday. And what better way to spend your birthday than at Disney?? So we pulled the trigger and went!

While I have had dinner at Be Our Guest before, mom had only had breakfast there.  For our January trip to Disney, we had dinner reservations for both Crystal Palace and Be Our Guest this night.  But we decided to cancel Crystal Palace a few days before since it was an earlier reservation and we both have had it.  We did not regret this choice.

We ate at Garden Grill on our recent trip to Disney World.  It was not on our original agenda when planning our trip.  My mom got sick eating here two years ago (from the motion not the food).  So I have always been hesitant to book it again.  However, we were ahead of "schedule" on our third day (last full day), so we looked into restaurants that had availability that night.  It was between Garden Grill and Cape May Cafe.  Mom said she thought she could handle the motion better because she felt like it as a fluke the time before.  She also knew how much I love eating here, so we opted to go it.

As I mentioned before in my Disney planning post earlier this week, my mom and I just got back from our annual girls' trip to Walt Disney World for my 31st birthday.  It was a different trip this time around since I wasn't just leaving Brad behind, but I was also leaving my 8 month old baby behind.  I was surprised at how well I handled leaving her since this was literally my first time away from her.  I have never not spent a day with her.  But thanks to technology, I was still able to see her everyday and chat with her too.  Anyhow, I wanted to give a quick trip report from our visit to Disney.  It was a jam packed 4 days, but we accomplished a lot and now we are super exhausted!  Check out all the fun details below!

So my mom and I just got back from our annual Disney World trip.  This year was going to be a little different because it would be my first time away from Melody.  We decided to only go for 3 nights so that I could get home sooner to see Melody (oh and Brad!).  I wanted to share all of the planning that I did for this trip!

As usual, my mom and I planned to go to Disney World for my birthday.  I was turning the big 3-0.  Unknowing to my mom, my husband and I were trying to get pregnant, so I found ways to discourage our usual cruise/Disney combo.  So we decided we would just do 3 or 4 days at Disney World and fly.  I found out I was pregnant September 23rd, but Brad and I wanted to wait and tell our parents after our first doctor's appointment.  So I didn't tell mom until October 21st.  I put off booking Disney to make sure she would be ok going with me while I was four months pregnant!  I hated for her to not enjoy herself and ride everything unless she was truly ok with that.  Of course she was good with it, so the planning began!
