Who is trying something new?
This is my annual, "Who is trying something new?" post, something that I like to do each year to see what everyone is trying for the first time as well as to share our plans.
-We added an extra day to the beginning of our trip and will NOT be going to a park, we will spend time at the POLY to enjoy the pools, the grounds and WISHES! from the beach.
-Crystal Palace Breakfast and a Chef Mickey's dinner.....on the same day! I may regret this!
-Grand Floridian Cafe
-Typhoon Lagoon
Not too many new things planned for this trip, though I hope that we have a few new unscheduled surprises in store for us.
That's it for us....How about you?

We're staying at CSR for the first time.
We won't have be club level for the first time.
There will just be the 4 of us for the first time.
We are hoping to try Coral Reef for the first time.
We are trying a waterpark for the first time.
Hopefully PoTC will finally be open when we're there and we will try it for the first time!
Not sure what else because our ARD window isn't open.

Great question! I love the idea of relaxing before the whirlwind of touring the parks begins...especially if you can do it at the Poly!
This trip will be relatively short one for us, so I'm debating whether to try anything new (esp. dining) or sticking with the tried-and-true...
We have to finalize our ADRs in a week so I'll let you know what we decide and if there's anything new on that front. I heard Sanaa is great, and with two vegetarian DDs, it may be a great option.
In terms of the attractions, it's more about what we won't do this year...things we've done in the past that were great, but we don't necessarily want to take the time to do them again.

** We are staying at POFQ this time (Wilderness lodge on our last trip)
** We are taking my parents with us (who are great to travel with)
** We are adding an extra day
** We are thinking that on one or two days, we may hit the parks mid afternoon, instead of first thing in the a.m. just to try and avoid "over doing it" all week long and to give the kids a break
** Hoping to try Boma for dinner one night
** Train ride at Disney World - haven't done it!!!
