So, I've been hush, hush on this because I didn't want the surprise ruined for my kiddos. But do you remember this post I did early last year? Well, go back and refresh your memory, I'll wait....
Ok, so Mr. D gave me a small, but doable budget to plan a trip to DisneyWorld as he knows how much of a Disney Dork I am (anyone notice I follow the Disney blog on the right---->?) I also have about 5 different Disney apps on my iPhone. When I get bored in the waiting room at therapy each week, it lifts my spirits. Anyhoo....
I couldn't believe I finally was taking my kids to WDW (cause we all know it's WAYYYY better than DisneyLAND). So, obviously, I had to pick up my current Birnbaum, along with....
the KID version since this would be my first time going with my own kids, figured I should see if I needed to know anything I didn't already know.
Now, go refresh yourself with this post again, I'll wait....
This ride, if you have never been, or have gone but didn't go on this particular attraction, is flippin' awesome! I could ride the Test Track multiple times in a row it is so much fun. Now, here is the BUT (you knew the 'but' was coming didn't you?)....
After nailing down dates, figuring out which resort fit in my budget, dining plan etc..., etc...., etc... I had a little something in my head say, "Heather, you need to check the Disney Blog". And I did. And I got bad news. Now, wait, let me back up a moment.....
I am fully aware that Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom is under full renovations and rides my Little R and Baby R would love won't be open until 2013 (new Dumbo and Little Mermaid) but figured they may not notice so I was willing to go this year anyways (although, Baby R is OBSESSED with Dumbo right now ever since Santa brought her the DVD for Christmas).
BUT.... when I read the Disney blog, I learned that the one ride I new G would FLIP over, is going under refurb from April through late October. That would be the Test Track. We were planning for May:(
So, now my dilemma, still plan the trip albeit the rides I know my kids want will all be CLOSED, or, wait another year until all of Fantasyland is back open so we can experience all the new rides like Little Mermaid, The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Beauty and the Beast castle as well as one of my beloved faves, Test Track at Epcot?
What would you do?
PS: This trip is meant to be a surprise for my kidlettes, so please don't mention this if you see them or talk to them ok!?!!?

That is quite the dilemma. I would wait. Of course they will find rides that they love it whenever they do go, but waiting will let you have more rides to enjoy.
Hard to do, but with your desires for them, maybe waiting would be a good idea.
I finally have some time to read some blogs today!
First, I'll remember your little baby R in my prayers, it's frustrating that the poor princess is dealing with hip problems still. Hopefully things will look good during her x-ray in June.
Second, looks like you had a fabulous Christmas. Crystal is really into Angry birds too. We got her the block game with playing cards this year and it was the first thing she wanted to play with too. I love that the Go Go walkin pup showed up on the christmas list again, that's hilarious!
Also, I'm sad to say that though we've gone to Disneyland many times as a family, I've never been to Disneyworld! Now I'm jealous that I seem to be missing out on the Disney awesomeness. I hate it when the good rides are closed though, if it were me I'd wait until all the rides are good to go so I could get my money's worth, but either way I'm jealous of your future fun, whenever it is!
