Our Magical Week Ahead
Photo-A-Day #1992

All the paperwork is now in order and we are ready to roll tomorrow to Walt Disney World. We’ve had almost as much fun planning this trip as we are anticipating from the trip itself. Here is what has made this planning go so well for us so far.

First of all Destinations in Florida have been superb. They helped us out big time by booking everything travel related: plane tickets, hotel, park tickets, and dining plan. On top of that they booked all of our meals while in the park, we’re going to so many fun things like Ohana, Tusker House, Tepan Edo, Crystal Palace, Hollywood and Vine, and Akershus in Norway. Destinations in Florida, Tim and Allison, took care of that for us. They also sent us some fun prizes like an autograph book, a photo from Mickey and a set of Mickey Ears. They even took care of setting up a personal call from Mickey Mouse for Eva. Continue reading Our Magical Week Ahead →

Downtown Disney Trip…

Last night Allison, Eva, Marcia, Dan and I went to Downtown Disney for a few hours. After we left IZEA we went to the hotel and then got Dan and Marcia and Allison and Eva settled. We made a quick turn around and headed out to Downtown Disney.

When we got there we started looking for a place to eat. We tried Cap’n Jack’s Restaurant but the wait was 2 /12 hours. And that was at around 4:30pm. So it was busy already. It didn’t look busy though, no line or anything. Must have been many people who made reservations. Well, since we were going to look around anyway I ran over to the pin shop to get a special edition Bike Week 2008 pin and a Leap Day 2008 pin featuring Tinkerbell. This will be Eva’s first pin.

Dinner was sandwiches at Earl of Sandwich. This worked out very well as they were fairly light, not too expensive, tasty and fast. We also hit some sort of lull in the chaos because we were able to get a seat, place our orders and eat before the crowds got too huge.

After that we walked all over Downtown Disney. We stopped in many different shops and Mimi and Grandpa Dano picked up a few things for Eva. She has some new bibs, socks and a book called the Art of Pooh. Which probably is more for Allison than Eva right now.

We had a great time and I took many photos. The sky was pretty amazing over The Fulton’s Crab House Steamboat.

Here are some more photos.
