10 Things To See & Do While We’re #TogetherAtDisney

Our Disney vacation cannot come fast enough! And building my free customized Disney Side decal {at BuildYourDisneySide.com} is just the thing I needed today. We got out Magic Bands earlier this week and with only 18 days to go, I am in full on Disney Side mode. 

I’m updating my Disney World App, creating my wish lists and putting together our itinerary. We are so ready to rock our Disney Side. 

Visit the Magic Kingdom at Night. The last time we went, we didn’t do this and it’s something I’ve regretted. Now that we’re going back, I’m not making the same mistake again. 

Check out the NEW Fantasyland. When we visited Disney last time, it was under construction. I cannot wait to see it. 

Join the Pirates League. Norrin loves Jake and the Neverland Pirates and he likes playing with the Pirates of the Caribbean figures on the Disney Infinity. I really want to make this trip special for him, so I wanted him to have the Pirates Experience. I just made reservations for him and I can’t wait to see his transformation. 

Stroll along the Board Walk. There is nothing more relaxing than a stroll down a board walk. I knew about Downtown Disney – which is fun! But had no idea there was a boardwalk too. I want to try and see everything I can in the short amount of time we’re there.

Meet Mark Hamill! It is all about Star Wars Weekends at Hollywood Studios for us. And we plan meeting our favorite Star Wars characters and hopefully having a photo opp with Boba Fett (Joseph’s favorite Star Wars character). And onsidering that Norrin’s middle is Luke – Mark Hamill is a MUST SEE. 

Buy Norrin his first pair of Mickey Ears. I want him to pick out his own pair of Mickey Ears. I have a pair of sparkly green and red Minnie Ears but they’re for Christmas. I could use another pair. 

Swim in the Largest Resort Pool of any Walt Disney World Resort. The pool at the Disney Art of Animation Resort has the LARGEST pool! “Inspired by the Disney Pixar movie Finding Nemo, the pool features state-of-the-art underwater speakers—a first for Disney Resort hotels.” 

Lounge inside a Cozy Cone. Norrin cannot stop talking about the Cozy Cones by the Cars Pool at the Resort. I know he’ll be happy the second he sees them up close and personal. 

Take Lots of Family Photos. The first time we went to Disney, I cried. It was such an emotional vacation for us. For so many reasons. I am sure I will cry tears of joys again. I know Norrin will have a much better time since he’s older. We spend so much of our time with therapists, that to have a few days just for ourselves in the Most Magical Place on Earth means a lot to me. And I want pictures to capture every single moment.
