Day 1 Arrival
Early Dinner: Cinderella's Gala at Gf.
My 2 year old loves "Wella" and will probably hang on to her leg but we are going to try to keep her from attacking. After we drag the little maniac off of Cindy, we're going to head over to MK to catch Specto Magic and Wishes.

Day 2 Epcot
Breakfast: Cape May.
My 2 year old loves Chip ( Chip n Dale are both Chip to her), Goofy and Mickey ( yes I know it's Minnie at Cape May but she insist they are both Mickey).

Dinner: Strangely enough, we are going to leave Epcot farely early and head over to Boma (my fav).

Day 3 AK
Breakfast: Donald's Breakfastasaurus(?). We have never made it to the Safari and we are determined this time. We figure if we eat in the park we can fast pass before breakfast then head over after breakfast. I'll let you know how it works out.

Dinner: Boma (it's my fav).

Day 4 MGM
Breakfast: Cape May (it's convenient and my 2 year old will get to terrorize the characters again).

Dinner: Hollywood and Vine. (it's convenient but it's our first time so I'll let you know how it turns out).

Day 5 MK
Breakfast: Chef Mickey's for the first time! I wish I could warn mickey of what's to come. He's the love of my 2 year olds life but she is none to gentle with her displays of love.

Dinner: Crystal Palace (Pooh had better watch out because lately the little maniac has been watching the Many Adventures of Pooh and he's fast rising to the top of her love list).

Day 6 Goodbye my beloved Saratoga Springs. Aurevoir My beloved Walt Disney World.
Breakfast: 1900 Parkfare with Mary Poppins (the twins favorite). After breakfast we will spend a little time in MK before we say our pitifully sad farewells.

In closing I would like to say yes, we are Buffet people. My husband thinks it's less trouble with the kids and quite frankly we don't get to pig out so much at home so it's a nice change. I do wish he'd agree to a nice sit down every blue moon. Perhaps when the kids are older.

The food sounds yummy, mamaprincess! Now, I am trying to figure your children out? You have a two year old 'maniac', a one year old and a set of twins!? If so, you really are a mamaprincess, aren't you!!

I love Boma too! I hope you will tell what you think of Hollywood & Vine and CP at dinner when you get back from your trip:blueflowe

No way jose! I do not have a 1 year old! I just have the 2 year old "maniac" I'd better edit my post if I indicated that accidentally. Heaven forbid I have another child!

I can't wait to go. Boy do we all need the vacation!:coolcar:

mmmmmmmmm sounds like some good eating to me!

We are the opposite - I HATE buffet eating with small children. I never get to eat!

Also, I assume your child has actually seen the characters up close? We took our godniece last year (who LOVED Pooh Bear) and was 2...and she flipped out and SCREAMED when the characters got near. Thank goodness, I had only planned one character meal. She also is totally freaked by Chuck E. Cheese (but then, he isn't our favorite mouse, so who can blame her?)

She is 3 now and we are going back the first week of April. We are doing the Norway Princess breakfast and that is it. I told her parents that I would wait to see if she wants to see any characters in the park before planning ANYTHING where she would be forced to get close to them. Those meals cost too much to have screaming children ready to leave the instant they see a character. :holymoly:

My boys can take or leave most characters, so it has never been an issue for us. Actually, it works out even better in some ways because we don't spend time in line waiting for autographs too often (we have LOTS of Buzz stamps though lol and a few Stitch - so they do have a fav or two).

Yes, my 2 year old saw the characters when she was about 18mos and she chased after them, kissed them hugged them. She is fearless about them. I was really affraid our last trip that she would be terrified of them because the time before that last trip she was only 10 mos old so I chalked up her fearlessness to just being to young to be affraid. Turns out she's just fearless in general.

I totally understand what you mean about not getting to eat but it seams that I have more trouble with my two year old when we have a regular sit down than when we do buffet. She usually will busy her self with various fruits and stuff she likes when we do buffets but it's not so easy to go the menu route with her.

That is Fantastic that she likes the characters Mama!!!

I do hope you have fun!

We did a LOT of in room cooking on our last trip (since PJ was 7 weeks old and really didnt need to be in restaurants with that many people around) and it went so well for the boys that we are going to do more again this time too. Dad can take them swimming or walking or to the playground while I cook, or vice versa (DH does 90% of the cooking at home, so I don't mind :) ). The boys aren't stuck in a seat for too long that way, they eat more and we don't have to spend as much time reminding them to use their good manners, etc. (just turned 4 and almost 6 year old boys...whew - where DO they get their energy?!?!?!)

The double boma is my favorite part too! There's nothing like it around our neck of the woods so I am so excited about it. We have three more weeks until we are back in our happy place! I am so pscyched I can't even tell you all!

I can't wait to see my youngest's reaction now that she is so aware and pretty much as obsessed with disney world as I am. I can hardly wait!

Great choices! I am ALL ABOUT Boma too :). I totally get doubling up on that delicious food!!

I had to laugh when I read your post b/c my DD was obsessed with Cinderella when she was a toddler. One evening we had dinner at the castle and as we were leaving, there was Cinderella all by herself sitting on the throne. My DD ran, took a leap off the steps into the lobby and LITERALLY dove onto Cinderella's lap. She hugged her around the neck and would not let go...she just kept saying "I WUV YOU I WUV YOU". I still tear up when I remember that moment....clearly the MOST magical memory I have from WDW. She was 2-1/2 at the time. Now my baby is 6 and more a tink fan than a princess fan :worried: !
