Family Getaway

While most people are holiday shopping, we'll be heading out on a different kind of shopping trip. To luggage stores, that is!

Yes, we have booked a family vacation for this winter. And just in time, as we are taking advantage of Hannah flying for free before she turns 2.

So where are we heading? We're going to Disney!

Definitely not the first place I would have thought I'd be welcoming the month of January but with Aeroplan points to burn Orlando was one of the few destinations still available for a reasonable number of points.

So we'll be heading to the mecca of family friendliness. And staying in the lap of luxury. We got a 2 bedroom 1100 sq. ft. villa at the Sheraton Vistana Resort for an unbelievable price. We just have to tidy up for ourselves (ie. no housekeeping) and we're saving $100/night.

So the itinerary isn't completely booked but we're hoping to spend a day at the Magic Kingdom and another at the Animal Kingdom. So many things to figure out...Do we bring a cooler so we don't spend a fortune on unhealthy food at the parks? Do we book a character dinner? Or is Hannah too young to appreciate it (or will she get scared)?

I know there are tons of moms out there who have done their Disney research so if you have any tips, I'd love to hear them!
