Brad is not one to like being around a lot of people, so we started by looking at the weeks with the least amount of people. September is the month to go to avoid crowds, so the planning began! It took us a while to decide where to stay, and we waited forever for Free Dining to be released! Once it came out we finalized our plans and got ready to go. The best part of the trip to me was not telling Ryleigh Jane that we were going. We slipped up several times, and I just knew that she was going to figure it out because she is one smart cookie, but we played off our outing to New Orleans as just a weekend trip to the zoo, and she bought it! As part of the planning and secret mission that we were all on, my mom spent tons on time online buying Ryleigh Jane and Addison tons of matching outfits for each day. We worked hard to look at them as they were coming through the mail without the girls seeing them or finding them. Mimi worked hard on all of their clothes, and you will see by the pictures that it paid off!
On to our trip...
The night before our flight, we headed down to pick up my parents and Addison and got to the hotel.
We made the girls sleep with MiMi and Paw Paw, and Brad and I got busy setting up our magic bands and outfits for the next day. Our flight was leaving at 8:30 am, so we had to be ready pretty early. The next morning, MiMi and Paw Paw walked the girls downstairs to see their surprise… their reaction was much less than what we hoped for, but I did get a couple of good faces! The excitement finally settled in once we got to the airport! Watch out Disney because here we come!!!
