Memories of our epic 2023 Disney vacation are beginning to pop up in our photo apps. Of course the response is to begin planning our next trip!

So back to Disney we are going this October. Fall break falls perfectly between big brother’s 12th birthday and little Pixie Princess’s 2nd. Who wouldn’t want to celebrate with Mickey?

With a short amount of planning time (and short on time to generate extra spending money), this is a shorter trip than usual but it may end up being my favorite of all our trips yet. Here’s why:

1. It’s just the four of us! This trip marks the first trip with just our family of four and I’m so looking forward to it!

2. We had to be very intentional with how we selected where we spend our time. We know we wont hit EVERYTHING and that’s ok. This isn’t that trip - we’ll back. There’s a lot of pressure taken off when viewed this way.

3. This trip is focused on things we can all do together. If it can’t include all four of us then, for the most part, it’s not on the agenda. With a 10 year age gap in kid ages there’s many opportunities to say we’ll split up to allow the older one to ride the big rides while the little goes on the “baby” rides. This trip is about us enjoying and celebrating with each other and we have found plenty that meets that request.

So what is this magic agenda that will keep us all together? Well, we’re still putting the finishing touches on all the details but stay tuned for a full itinerary coming soon!
