When David and I planned our first trip to Disney<\/a> a couple years ago (after our awesome experience on a Disney Cruise<\/a><\/span>!), we both were under the impression it would be our one trip<\/em> to Disney World during their childhood. We had a great time, but both left feeling confirmed in our choice that we were a “one and done” family. However, a year ticked by, and then another… and I got the Disney itch.<\/em> I kept imagining how great the experience of Disney World would be with a 5 and 8 year old, so I got to work on convincing David that spending 5 days at Disney World during Halloween was going to be a ball. Turns out, I was totally right!<\/p>\n\n\n

Things We Did Differently on Our Second Trip to Disney World<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. We flew from Charlotte to Orlando instead of driving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. We went in October instead of February.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. We stayed off property in a condo at Wyndham Bonnet Creek<\/a><\/span>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. We ordered groceries to get us through every meal except dinners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. We opted to do the Bippity Boppity Boutique. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. We rented a double stroller through Kingdom Strollers<\/a><\/span>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. We opted for later nights over early mornings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I’ve been playing around with ways to share our trip, and while I might do a couple posts on the topic (because who can ever get enough of Disney, amiright?!<\/em>), I’m going to kick things off with a good ol’ fashion recap to share the fun. And it was SO much fun. I left the last trip feeling happy, satisfied, and ready to come home. On the last day of this trip I felt pretty sad about leaving and may or may not have teared up once or twice (much to David’s head shaking…). Ok, let’s go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We left Charlotte on a Tuesday evening. Our flight was at 6:30 PM and we grabbed dinner at the airport to carry on the plane. It worked well and the flight was smooth. We arrived at our condo around 9:00 PM, had a friendly check-in and received our groceries (and wine!) that we had ordered through Amazon Prime Now<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Wyndham Bonnet Creek at Walt Disney World<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    We were hosted for our stay by Wyndham Bonnet Creek<\/a><\/span> and it could not have been a better experience. I had heard so many incredible things about this property (which lies within the Disney World borders, making it on property without officially being “on property”) from friends that have stayed there for years. I now completely see why my friends have returned year after year- Wyndham Bonnet Creek is a dream. A few of my personal favorite highlights are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
