Last minute...no plans????

Really? No planning? No reservations? Last minute trip???? Yep, that's exactly what we plan to do this summer!

We had a few really cool, trips/family vacations on the schedule for this year...New York, Bahamas, Disneyland (yes, in CA)...and everything has changed. I won't bore you with all the details, but let's just say Bahamas and Disneyland were too expensive for our taste and New York is being postponed a year due to other circumstances surrounding the trip and who is going. So, as we sat there and talked about our family trips for the year, we brought up and discussed that our WDW Annual Passes expire in early July, so why don't we plan a quick trip to use them one last time!

It's tricky to find DVC rooms during the popular times of the year. All the kids are out of school, the weather in Florida is pretty (albeit hot), and everyone just has more travel flexibility. So, I got online and started checking room availability and found that we can actually get out there right at the beginning of the summer. Bonus....it's one of the Star Wars Weekends!!! Our SW loving 5 yr old is going to LOVE IT!!!

We opted to not do the Disney Dining Plan this trip. We love the amazing restaurants at Walt Disney World, but also find that they put a lot of structure into your day and week because of the set time/place that you have to be to eat. We'll be eating a lot of the better and healthier counter service meals during this trip (see more about those HERE) and might do one last minute table service, if there's something available that day, but otherwise, it's a more relaxed trip for us this time!

So, with no dining reservations, last minute plane tickets, and a 5-night hotel reservation, we are off to WDW at the beginning of the summer!

I can't wait to hear "Welcome Home!"
