Well, you didn't listen.
Greetings from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I have no clue how these work but, I'll jump right into the nuts and bolts.
Cast of Characters:
Unlike most of these I've read I am the father (seems not enough Dads are posting here or maybe I need to search more) of a great 4 year old Daughter named Sarah:
We were stoked she was chosen as "The Beast" this past year. She got air for her "Roar" at Belle (3 in that photo).
My DW and I this November will be kicking off our 3rd straight Disney Christmas time visit. The last two years we go right before December but moved it up this year. We've been with DD 2 other times so this will be DD 5th trip in 4 years (and we'll be back again in Jan. 2014 for Marathon weekend).
Oh, BTW.... this is a couple of "family photos" from this past Christmas trips:
Can't ever get them to ride with me:
Time Period:
We plan on arriving November 1st (hoping that MNSSHP has one more day left) and leave the 16th. So, we should have time to hit Food and Wine and the beginning of MVMCP. As I mentioned in the title "running" we've found our run bug again and after 8 years of running to the fridge I started running between 8 and 10 miles a day. So, we'll also be running the Jingle Jungle 5K on the 9th (daughter will be strollering it) and then head over to the kids run after. Wanted to do the half marathon but, we'll be back in January for that Half Marathon.
Location:
We are right now deciding between a week at Port Orleans and One at our RCI resort or both weeks at the RCI resort (as we will be on property in January).
Food:
Well, obviously no reservations yet. FWIW, we have an adventurous eater for a DD so we like to try some newish things. We'll probably pig ourselves at Food and Wine and I'd love to try some resort TS restaurants. We've only been able to try Kona Breakfast, O'hana Dinner, 1900 Park Fare character breakfast, Cinderella's Royal Table breakfast, Liberty Tree Lunch, Via Napoli Dinner, 50's Prime Time Lunch, Hollywood and Vine character Lunch, Be Our Guest Dinner and Mama Melrose Lunch for TS Reservations. We've never *GASP* set foot into Animal Kingdom so everything is new there.
Itinerary:
Basically we've got the run and we've got check in and check out dates planned. This will form the closer we get and the more suggestions you give. We will ride more rides this time as DD is now 44 inches as opposed to 41 our last trip.
*Oh, just remembered. I plan on boring my family with "Behind the Seeds" at Epcot.
My Plea to You:
Give me great Food and Wine suggestions, running tips, any restaurant advice, fashion tips, words of encouragement to keep running (although I've lost 25 lbs in 5 weeks that should be enough) and general discussion and tips. I am all ears. Even on choosing between 2 weeks at the off site place or half and half. It's about a grand cheaper two weeks off property. I know my Little one is packed and ready to go:
