Sounds like you have lots of great choices picked out for dining.
My next "goal" is to get to 36 weeks, then I'm going to start on the countown big-time. I'll start some red raspberry leaf tea and evening primrose oil too, just to hopefully help things along a little bit hehe.
Thanks! And welcome!!
I sure hope so!! I'm sure plans will change once we take her to a few restaurants to see how she does.
A couple we are friends with have a 6 mo old daughter and they won't go out to a restaurant with her. IDK if it is because they haven't actually done it yet, or the experience was so terrible they don't want to repeat it...LOL
Nothing new to report...though I'm 32 weeks today!!
My main complaint is still the terrible headaches that I get daily. And recently they have been waking me up at night, too. I'm already not getting to sleep very well (back hurts!!) but now, when I am asleep, waking up with a pounding headache is NOT fun!
Oh and we have a breastfeeding class tomorrow night! DH is reluctant to go, but he is going - just afraid he'll be the only guy/DH there. We'll see!
There is one thing to keep in mind though.. try to make your ADRs to a schedule that your baby's on. OR bring her during her nap time-- after she's already asleep not when shes trying to sleep!! 
Either way hope they get better! D
Just found your PTR & joining in! I had kind of the same experience planning our most recent trip, except that I wasn't planning while pregnant, it was only once DS was born that we started to plan. However, they change SO MUCH month to month that I had no clue what he would be able to do, what his schedule would be, what his temperament would be, etc. by the time our trip rolled around! My best advice for this would be plan the trip you want, and change accordingly as you learn your baby. For example, DS has always been a weird sleeper. He would sleep fine in his pack & play, then his crib, at night, but for naps, he couldn't be put down! He would wake up within 10 minutes, so I spent several months on the rocker in his room with my Nook holding him while he slept for a couple of hours. It was madness, and eventually he grew out of it. But I was worried about him being able to nap in the stroller. So we took practice outings to the Zoo, the Aquarium, the park, etc and discovered he would in fact nap in his stroller, and that if there was a lot going on for him to look at, he could even skip or postpone his nap and not be a beast like he would be at home!!
As for the restaurants, we also took lots of practice outings to go eat. We discovered that he does well for a little while, but generally is hard to entertain for a meal, especially a long one. So we decided to cut back on our trip and only planned one sit-down lunch, and 2 character breakfasts. On the actual trip, he did great for the character breakfasts for the most part because there was always something happening, although he would start getting restless towards the end. Our lunch at Sci-Fi was just not worth it. He was going crazy the whole time! So I think it will be awhile before we plan anymore lunch or dinner sit-downs in Disney World. However, I'm telling you MY experience with MY child. Your little girl will have her own personality and she may do GREAT for sit-downs! After all this rambling, my point is just that you can really have no expectations for your trip & have to be able to change at the last minute as you learn your baby's personality and tolerances.
And to help with loud events (fireworks especially!), we got these: Peltor Baby Earmuffs. We put them on DS one night when we went to the parks and decided to try to stay for Wishes. He fell asleep well before the fireworks, so we slipped the earmuffs on him and he mostly slept. Stirred a little towards the end, but nothing major. They really helped!
Sorry for rambling! We just learned SO MUCH taking DS on his first Disney trip! I'm doing a TR, so if you'd like to follow along, you might find some tips you never would have thought of for traveling with a baby! I read tons of TR's of people taking their babies to prepare for our trip & learned a LOT!
but I know each child is different. She's going to start daycare when she's around 12 weeks old, who knows how that'll factor into things too. I do plan to work on getting her to sleep in multiple places (like, we have her room, the co-sleeper in our room, and the pack n play downstairs in the living room that I want her to be comfortable napping/sleeping in all of them). Started my own PTR and just catching up on yours.
I always brought my baby to resturants with me and still do. At 4yeaars old its more difficult then it was when he was a baby. Don't get discouraged!!
Hope your headaches start getting better... I never had that experience ... or I mentaly blocked it after and don't remember
WOW thanks for all the wonderful tips!! This is exactly what I hoped to get out of starting a PTR!! I also checked out your TR and am loving reading it. I have searched for every TR w/ babies and there are only a few out there!
We will def be planning to change our plans LOL. Considering I have to do ADR's early April, when she's only around 2 months old, I'm sure we'll be cancelling/changing things around as time gets closer. And, changing days to suit her. That's also why we're going for 10 nights, so we can spend a whole day relaxing if need be, or a morning at a park and the rest of the day at the pool. Typically I'm way more commando but know that has to change!
Your napping experience scares me!!
We are already looking forward to all those "practice outings" and "practice eating out" LOL.
I'm def getting those earphones too, thanks so much for the tip! They are already in my Amazon cart LOL.
She will be on a schedule and used to sleeping in other environments much earlier than DS was, which will be a good thing for y'all!
Followed you over from Khertz TR. Congratulations on baby girl! And yay for a WDW trip! We'll be there with our 14month old (at the time) in February. I love new babies so I had to jump on to your PTR especially since it's so new and there's not a lot of catching up to do
Don't worry about the nap thing if you are going to be putting her in daycare! My situation was, traditional daycare just didn't work for us because of mine and my husband's schedule. So my sister kept him at our house the days I worked. He was more than a little spoiled for attention!! Even now, the days I have him at home he takes a morning and afternoon nap, and I have to rock him until he's completely asleep before putting him down or no nap is happening. But now he goes to an in home daycare in my neighborhood, and when he is with her, he only takes one afternoon nap and she doesn't have to rock him at all, just pat him for a few minutes and he's out.
too cute! I would go ahead and order the Photopass CD. We would also have the photographers take pictures with our own cameras just in case. If you get home and view the pictures and aren't satisfied with the quality, I believe you can get your money back from the pre-order. I was surprised at how many great shots of DS interacting with the characters the photographers were able to get! In the past, it was always only DH and I so there weren't many candid shots like that.
they both came up with some adorable ideas! We had a big fishbowl full of goldfish that ppl had to guess how many were in there for a prize, played under the sea bingo, and they did a "price is right" type game with baby stuff (and I got to keep all the baby stuff from the game - sweet! LOL). Overall there were 28 ppl there, and it was a great number. MIL helped by getting the cake, which was made by a bakery on the Cape (a design my friend had found online apparently) and it was just gorgeous. Anyway I'll post some pics! Hope you enjoy!
