When You Wish Upon A Star...

60 days from today we will be heading to Disney World! This will be Ryan's first trip which makes it extra special and exciting (he'll be 10 1/2 months while we're there)! It will be me, my husband, Ryan, and my parents. I can't wait to see Ryan's excitement at everything. Even though he won't really know what's going on and, let's be honest, he gets excited just to walk around the mall, I know he'll love watching everything and seeing all colors. 

I've been doing my homework on bringing a baby to Disney. I'm planning extra items to pack, learning how we can ship diapers/wipes/food or order from Garden Grocer, and ordering a travel bag for our City Mini GT. I've been reading up on the Baby Swap and figuring out which rides he can go on. 

Well, today marks 60 days which also means today is when we can book Fastpass+ reservations. This is much more stressful than it should be. First we had to pick which park to be at on which days and decide which 3 rides we wanted to get passes for. Even 60 days out, there were days with no availability for the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train or a Meet and Greet with Anna and Elsa. Luckily Ryan is too young to voice an opinion and we don't care about meeting Anna and Elsa since that seems to be the hardest one to book. While there were some days where we couldn't book the Dwarfs, we were lucky to get to book 1 pass for the whole family and 2 other passes for the days when my husband won't be there. I have to say, I miss the days of just hopping on whichever bus showed up or going where ever you felt like going depending on mood or weather. 

In addition to booking our Fastpass+ reservations, we have also booked a few dining reservations and a reservation for Ryan to have his first haircut at the Harmony Barbershop on Main Street! I am so excited for the haircut! Ryan has a lot of hair and could definitely use a trim :) But I'm excited because they give our Mickey ears that say "My First Haircut" as well as a certificate and a package of his trimmed hair. For dining, we are only doing 3 table service meals this trip. Since the baby's schedule may vary from home, we don't want to have too many meals planned. We will be dining at Garden Grill at Epcot and Tusker House at Animal Kingdom. My husband and I are also going to Boma for a dinner date night while Grandma and Papa babysit (thanks!)!

Can't wait for our trip! I'll try to share more updates and tips as I continue to plan!
