A real lucky duck!



Its true, only 28 days until we return to the most magical place on Earth! Walt Disney World! I am beside myself that we are returning, a real lucky duck I am. I am in fact already getting nervous about the post magic let down and my insatiable desire to return! I have worked out a tentative schedule for each day. I have a quick reference sheet for my husband to refer to. I have character meal reservations at the Crystal Palace (Winnie the Pooh) Hollywood and Vine (Little Einsteins), Chef Mickey's (for Will's official third birthday party), and a dinner show the Disney's Spirit of Aloha Dinner. We are maybe most looking forward to the holiday festivities Micky's Very Merry Christmas Party, as well as the Osborne Family Festival of lights.

I'm already nervous about visiting Epcot which we have not yet explored, and a little nervous about all those nights in a hotel room (last time we stayed in a time share). There comes no new adventure without risk I suppose. This time we are sadly not flying direct and I am a little nervous about Will's behavior on the airplanes and the chance for disaster on what will be four total planes by the time we are down there and back. I felt like we barely hung on last time flying direct!

But you know what, we planned this trip as part of our healing process, and 8 months after our family disaster we are doing well, and that's an awesome feeling! We count ourselves as lucky ducks to be celebrating life, our 2 year old's third birthday, and shhh don't tell anyone but also what by then will be 12 weeks of a new pregnancy. A little magic does a lot for a family!
