Nice to meet yah, my name's Kate. :) I'm the author of Move, Shake, Dream! I'm Disney obsessed, specifically with Walt Disney World and classic Disney movies. My husband, Dave, is a new Disney convert. We took our first WDW trip together in February, 2010. We went back in March, 2011 and will be back again in June of 2012. We dream of one day being DVC members. (Sigh.) We have two kids, Rory is 2 and Trace will be one in October! They went with us to WDW this past March and will go again in June.
A little background on us...
I started going to Disney World when I was super young, around age 2, and have been around 15 times so far. I've stayed lots of places on property. My current favorite hotel is Port Orleans French Quarter. My hotel wish list right now includes Wilderness Lodge, the Grand Floridian and Saratoga Springs. We have decided Saratoga Springs will be our "home" resort when we join DVC someday.
My favorite park is hard to decide. I love them all, but Magic Kingdom is my favorite. Our favorite park as a family is Animal Kingdom. It's the perfect park for toddlers. Rarely super crowded, lots of shade, lots of family rides and Camp Mickey Minnie is the BEST place to meet the major characters. (Another post for another day!) Great food, rides, shows and parades!
My favorite rides are Soarin', Haunted Mansion, Carousel of Progress and Toy Story Mania. I can't stand Mission Space, Star Tours, etc. I don't do well with that kind of motion! (LOL)
Dave and I love to try different restaurants at WDW. Our hands down favorite is California Grille, of course. I also am a huge fan of Citricos at GrandFlo and Le Cellier at Epcot. On our list to try this June are Chefs de France and lots of kid friendly/counter services places: Casey's, Pizza Planet, etc.
This blog will be about planning, tips, movies, costumes, characters, crafts...if it's Disney, you'll find it here!
Enjoy!
