Countdown... Disney trip obsessing.

I have dreamt about going to a Disney park since I was a little girl. I was never a girly girl, it didn't consume my thought process, it's just something I knew I wanted on my bucket list. In 18 days... We are all but there! My ultimate goal is Walt Disney World in Florida followed by the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at universal studios. Since we live in California... This is enough for now. Who knows where the military will send us next anyway? :)

I'm a little bit obsessed with this trip... I'll admit it. Who wouldn't be? We live in a world where ugly, terrible things happen. All the time. Everywhere. I'm looking forward to an escape to a place where we can all be kids. (2 of us more responsible and considerably taller, haha). I'm excited for the pictures our kids will have to look back on, the autograph books and the memories that they will hopefully cherish and share with their kids. I love that they are at the age where it is still magical and "real". I spent 45 minutes filling an entire page with a list of pictures we HAVE to snap on top of the thousand random shots I'm sure we will take as we go. Before, arriving, the castle- family, us, kids, statues, characters, rides, food, and I could probably go on all day. I have all but decided to snap pictures  on the 10 day countdown with the kids for the scrapbook. I don't think it's even hit them yet because we have been so busy. I just want to jump up and down every day!

Suggestions? Things others have enjoyed? Favorites from trips as a kid? I feel at a slight disadvantage never having seen it-- I want it to be the best it can possibly be for them. D

18 days. Eeeek!
