I've figured out the budget, reserved the car, made 2 ADRs, and have a package on hold. All that remains is to confirm child/pet care and arrange to be off work for 2 days, and then I'll book the airlines. And figure out a way to make sure the kids (8 & 10) will forgive us for going to WDW by ourselves. I'm going to play up the "you'll be bored... we only want to look at flowers and shop" angle, so hopefully it will work out. We've traveled alone before (not in the last 5 years though) but never to anyplace they know they'd like to go, too!
So any input on my jam-packed schedule would be appreciated! Also comments on Artist Point for dinner? I was originally thinking California Grill but there really doesn't seem to be much on the menu that appeals to me and AP sounds better.
I can't believe it!!
