A trip 35 years in the making

Only 5 days away and I am so unprepared! April 8th was our 35th wedding anniversary. Of course we are Disney bound! After Easter gatherings yesterday we went to the venue where our reception was held and recreated some of the outdoor pics. Things are not exactly the same there, (we have had 4 major hurricanes in this time span) but it was still lovely to see the place again.


Dh and I are both excited for this trip, but life has had us both a little depressed lately and I just haven’t had the usual desire and excitement over the preparations and planning as normal. I’ve been making myself do countdown pics and participate here but my heart just isn’t in it. But a Disney trip cures all ills, right?

Here is a rough outline of plans I have made so far:
Sunday April 16 arrive at Pop Century and just soak it all in.
Monday Keys to the Kingdom tour at MK, afternoon unplanned.
Tuesday Epcot
Wednesday Hollywood Studios, lunch res at Woody’s Roundup
Thursday Animal Kingdom, dinner at HS 50’s Primetime for Fantasmic
Friday cry all the way home.
