Smashing my Disney Trip part 1

Hi... I had written in a previous post that I was going to be documenting my Disney World trip in a smash book. Well I did just that. I put together a personal "smash kit" and took it with me. I was able to smash in my book most evenings before going to bed. I'm going to now share my trip and my smash book here on my blog. I'm going to start with planning and go through the whole trip. I'll show my smash book pages at each step and maybe some other pictures from the trip as well. I hope you enjoy.

My trip was back in Sept- Oct 2012. The planning however started way before the trip. First we had to decide what resort we were going to stay at. We decided on......

After deciding to stay at the Pop Century resort, we started to decide on what ADRs(advanced dining reservations) we wanted to make. Disney allows you to make these 180 days in advance of your trip. We decided on a bunch of great restaurants we wanted to eat at during out trip. This would change a few times prior to our trip. So these pages are when we decided to stay at the Pop Century resort and then of me making our original dining reservations. 

These pages are when we decided to cut back on a lot of our dining reservations. We cut back due to cost considerations. The other page is about getting my lines pin, which is a Disney chat I belong to through touringplans.com I also had to show pictures of our Disney trip countdown. I love going to Disney and drive everyone crazy when we plan a trip to go. 

The next pages are reminder pages... I wrote down little reminders for the trip. I also made a pocket to keep all the check lists in. i always write out tons of lists, packing lists, shopping lists, lists of things we want to do etc... 

Well that's it for now. Next up will be packing and arrival day. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. 

Fall in DisneyWorld!

Last month Cynthia and I went to Disney World. We went to Mickeys Not so scary Halloween Party and had a great time.I dressed up as Perry the platypus.  Perry is a character from a disney channel show called Phineas and Ferb. I had my picture taken with Cruella DeVille after watching the villians show by the castle at Magic Kingdom. 

We had lots of fun. we arrived at Magic Kingdom early at around 2 pm and had a wonderful late lunch at liberty Tree Tavern... YUM!! 

Then we walked around and rode a bunch of rides including Buzz Lightyear and the Peoplemover. we rode winnie the pooh and Pirates of the Carribean. Then at 7pm the party started. When else but Disney can you go treat or treating as an adult. We had a blast. We also watched the Boo to you parade...which is awesome and saw the hallowishes fireworks show. The fireworks were spectacular. By the time we got back to our rooms at the end of the night we were exhausted and just crashed on the bed. It was a great night. 

We choose the Pop Century as our resort this trip. the place is a lot of fun. the food cart is amazing and the theme is unforgettable. we stayed in one of the eighties buildings and we loved it.

 We had so much fun this trip. We even just spent time hanging out at the resort just relaxing. 

This trip we ate at a number of different restaurants. we were trying to do different things. 

Cinderellas Royal Table

 Food was delicious.
I met my fairy Godmother.

 I met Daisy Duck and a crazy alien named Stitch......

We walked along the Boardwalk and had the most amazing cheesecake brownie EVER!!!!!

In conclusion......... WE HAD A FANTASTIC TRIP.........
Can't wait to go back again.
