I have such exciting news you guys!! Josh and I scored a CRAZY deal on flights to Orlando, so we took the plunge and booked a trip to Disney World!! Neither of us have ever been and we’re on cloud 9 right now. AND we took advantage of the free dining offer that Disney is offering right now, so our trip is seriously a BARGAIN!! I can hardly believe we are going!!
Our trip is booked for Sept. 29 – Oct. 7. We are staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort. We need lots of restaurant recommendations and tips for our trip!! So, if you have any great ideas, etc. email me at designerbrittney at gmail .com!! Gosh – I can’t even believe we’re really going. It all happened so fast!!
WOOO HOOOO!!!!!
That's awesome!!! We're huge Disney fans here too and go every year to Disney World. Let me think about some tips and I'll let you know.
How exciting. I am emailing you now. We just got back from WDW 2 weeks ago. 🙂
ROCK ON!! That is sooo awesome! You guys are going to just die! The dining plan is THE BEST too!
Oh, lucky girl! I've never been to Disneyland, closer to DW. We got the free meal plan at Christmas – it is a serious bargain. Here are the restaurants we go back to again and again: Sci-Fi Drive In (MGM), Prime Time 50s cafe (MGM), Crystal Palace (Magic Kingom), France Bakery (Epcot), Flame Tree BBQ (Animal Kingdom), Tusker House breakfast (Animal Kingdom). Since you're 3 months out, try to book the breakfast at Cinderella Castle in MK – it usually is all booked up, but keep trying, some do open up sometimes. The Wolfgang Puck at the Marketplace is fantastic and a great deal on the meal plan. Hope this helps!!
Lucky Duck!!! Hit the DIS Britt, they have all the tricks and tips.
Congrats! Excited to hear about your adventures!
SOOO excited for you! Y'all are going to have an unbelievable time…there is just SO much to do at WDW!!
Yipppeeee! I've stayed at Pop Century five times. You'll love it! My favorite centuries are 60's or 70's.
Excited for y'all. You're going to LOVE Disney World! You'll be amazed at how big the place is!
Yay!!!!
LUCKY LADY!!! I'm so excited for you…and to see the fun photos/LO's you end up with!
🙂
Do you need a photographer to follow you around and document your trip?? 😉
Hi Britt!
Congrats on your 1st DW trip! You're gonna love it! It's a great time to go also. Less crowded. Who is your favorite character? 🙂 I love the Pooh breakfast at the Crystal Palace. Chef Mickey is fun too. It's a great way to get some great photos! We're going to FL in 2 1/2 weeks! YAY! Have a great trip!
Oh I'm so excited for you! I will email you our favs when i get a few minutes. I'm sure you are stalking the DIS boards for sure now! 🙂
Boma! Boma! Boma!! (at the Animal Kingdom Lodge) I'm so excited for you!
That is so exciting! We were just talkinga about this how funny! I'm so excited for you. It will be an awesome vacation for just the two of you 🙂
I already told you this, but I am so excited for you guys! You guys got such an awesome deal. You will *LOVE* the dining plan. One of the best parts of WDW is the food. I wish I was going with you! LOL
Yeah!! I am getting ready for trip number 2 (December 09) and look forward to all your pictures and stories (oh yeah and cute kits to go along!). I can say Cinderella's Royal Table and Chef Mickey's are awesome!!!
I don't want to be a downer … but book dining reservations ASAP. You're already inside the 90 day window, and everybody else with free dining will be booking along with you.

Lucky duck!!! I am so excited for you!! Sorry I have no advice for you since I have never been there. Seriously jealous here!
Prime Time 50s Cafe (don't eat your veggies, put your elbows on the table and don't set the table….you'll find out why), Le Cellier (it books FAST), and if you want to use 2 table service credits then Narcoosee's is AWESOME and romantic. You will have such a blast! Go to the Halloween party too. I'm jealous!
My friend and I were just talking about Disney World!!! That is so awesome!! I am sure you will have a FANTASTIC time…I can't wait to see your pictures and LO's from your trip!!
I'm going in oct around the 11th I think. im soo excited my first time to go
The best Chinese food I've ever had was at the China Pavilion in EPCOT. I think it's called "Seven Seas". It was delicious! The buffet in Canada isn't bad either. I think EPCOT definitely has the best dining, and MGM has the worst. It's not bad, just uninspired.
I haven't been to Disney World since 1999. We're going to Disneyland in September.
Have fun!
I'm sending you an email 🙂
Eeeee! I'm so excited for you- I've never been either, but my husband did tell me plane tix were affordable and we thought of going for our annual Christmastime Disney trip. I just can't handle the plane ride with a 3 year old, so we're skipping it. Oh! I can't wait to see your layouts, lol!
This is so cool, Britt!!!! 😉
OMG…I live in Jacksonville, and Disney World is like my 2nd home!!! You will love it!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! Congrats!!!Be ready for the heat…hahah…Florida is HOT!! And be ready for tons of fun and lots of Characters and awesome rides!!! Have a blast girl!!!
M-I-C….K-E-Y…..M-O-U-S-E!!!!!
So jealous! I hope you love it! I hear it is a completely different experience from Disneyland.
I have only been to WDW, never to Disneyland, but hope to go someday!
This is my favorite site to find out ALL things Disney. I check it out before I head there (we've gone 3 times and still never enough). http://www.disboards.com/
Congrats !! It will be awesome !! I am so missing Disney this year, but I can't complain we are headed for Hawaii instead !!! I LOVE Disney World's Pretzel and get the cheese. YUMM!! Also if you can do the Dining Plan, It's so worth it !!
I sent you an email…
Awwww, so happy for you, Britt!
OHANA is AMAZING for dinner!!!! we also love Chef Mickey's and 1900 Park Faire for character dining, have heard Le Cellier is awesome too but have never managed to get there, always booked, if you want a quiter area of Pop Century ask for the 70's building, we find it nice and quiet and it's closest to the buses if you avoid the main building and head out the back, enjoy your trip, we are going Aug 23-31
I am so jealous but I was just there in May. You are going to LOVE Pop Century….make sure and go over to the Boardwalk one night to Jellyrolls. Lot of fun!
Have a great time in my favorite place in the world. Cant wait to see your layouts when you get back.
Tammy
We are going to be staying at Pop Century Oct 15-19. So sad to miss you!!! I would have loved to be there with the Disney Digiscrap Queen! 🙂
so exciting!! you'll have so much fun!
OMG, that is so awesome!! Make your dining reservations ASAP! Try to book Le Cellier if you can. Ask for that one first. Lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong.
I'll send you an email with the rest of my recommendations! I'm soooo excited for you guys! We'll be at POP in August — it is a great place to stay!
Oh yeah, be sure to eat a Dole Whip in Adventureland when you are there. Do they have those at DL?
Oh, that's great! I really can understand your excitement, because I'm looking forward to a Disney-Vacation in September, too! We're going to Disneyland Resort Paris for the 2nd time, though. But I'm as excited as you are!
Can't wait for your photos and LO's!!
Greetings from Germany, Silvie
Hi… just happen to cross your site… I see that you also love Disney… me too…
Im planning to go to Tokyo or Hong Kong Disney this Christmas. Hoho and I found some stuffs from Hong Kong Disneyland here as well:
disneycloth.cwahi.net
I will definitely take tones of photos there!!!
You're going to LOVE Disney World! I'm really excited for you! Our newest favorite place to eat there is the Kona Cafe at the Polynesian. They have a wonderful sweet bread! Our favorite character meal is Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary (that books up really quick). And I would definitely suggest getting tickets for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween party!! It is lots of fun, they have a great parade (love the music!), lots of characters and candy! We've done this the last 4 years, it's fun to dress in costume too! Have a GREAT time!

omg britt! i know we haven't talked in a while, but i still read your blog constantly…when i saw this i knew i had to comment…i'm starting a disney college program in the middle of august – i'll be working at wdw when you're there! what a cool coincidence! 🙂
I don't know how I missed that you're going to WDW! Guess I've been gone too much lately and 10 days of that was in Disney World. We've been 3 times already this year and you're going to have SO MUCH FUN!! You'll enjoy the dining plan. We tried it once and it was way too much food for us "old folks", but you youngsters can handle it. I'll send you an email soon.
YAY!!! I hope you have fun 🙂 I can't really remember what restaurants that are there, but I'm sure you got lots of good ideas 🙂
