Confession: I didn’t create this itinerary, the hubs planned the Fast Passes (skipping to the front of lines, three rides each day), and the restaurant reservations, but other than that, once we arrived at the each park, we winged it each day. We had the BEST trip, and did not want to leave on Saturday! We did miss the boys, but would rather have had them come to us, rather than us travel back to them. The weather couldn’t have been better, and thankfully it was warmer here upon our return, but now snow is in the forecast this week… Seriously though, we couldn’t have asked for a better time! So many memories, that we’ll savor forever!

WOW! That was quite a post and I cannot wait for more pictures! Planning a Disney trip does seem way too overwhelming (and I used to go yearly growing up – so I feel like I'm cheating my kids a bit 🙂 ). You make it sound a lot easier than may Disney goers!
Loved your recap and enjoyed the daily Insta pics! Makes me miss Disney and we were just there in December. There's nothing like the happiest place on earth!
This actually sounds awesome! Great recap!
