so excited!
I can't wait for tomorrow! Even though Orlando is only 35-40 minutes away, we never really get the chance to go there!
So today I have tons to do, I have to get the oil changed and tires rotated on my car, pick up a few groceries, pick up Lily's custom Mario cake!, give Tootsie a bath and drop her at my mom's, clean the house up and pack everybody up to go.
We got a hotel room for two nights in downtown Disney. So the plan is to go up early tomorrow morning, hit up the Mall of Millenia for the Cheesecake Factory and a little shopping - they have H&M and Forever 21, which we don't have here! yay! Plus Sephora! and a million other stores I could never afford to shop in like Betsey Johnson and Coach and Jimmy Chooooooo... but it's always fun to window shop!
Then we'll go check in and then do the Downtown Disney, which is just tonnnns of toy stores and neat restaurants and fun stuff to look at. We'll probably do Rainforest Cafe or the new T-rex Cafe cuz the kids will like that! I think the T-rex place even has a thing outside where the kids go and dig up 'dinosaur' bones. But I'm not sure because we will be bringing Ella this time and the moving dinos might scare her?
Anyway then the next day to Seaworld! And then a mini-party for Lily. her birthday isn't actually until Tuesday so we'll have her open up presents and do more for her on that day, too.
I have to remember that Ella takes a nap around 2, and kids get cranky (especially in this heat) and I might not get done everything I want, and someone may cry, and we may spend more than we plan, and things don't always go the way I want. I get big expectations and then feel so let down when things don't always go the way I want them to. So this time around I am going to try hard to just go with the flow, nice and easy, and not get bothered if things don't exactly work out. I remember Lily at Disney last year, she was so grumpy and miserable and I was heart broken. Not gonna happen this year!
lots of pictures to come! :)
