Our first Disney Christmas Trip 11/20-11/24

It has been 5 long years since we have visited Disney. So many things have changed it is getting to be overwhelming. I am trying to get my head around Genie + as we were lucky enough to have reserved our trip before they stopped selling it ahead of time.

Last time we went Pandora in AK was new and we enjoyed that expansion. Now it looks like there is a new toy story and a new star wars at Hollywood studios.

Our Group Consists of:
Me 43
DW 37
DD 18
DD 15
DS 17 Months

This will be an interesting trip with a 17 month old child, but with our oldest being 18 and this being her Senior Year of High school we decided to make the trip. One last disney trip while all the kids are still in the house.

Right now I am attempting to learn about Genie + and what all we need to do to stay ahead of the game. Seems complicated compared to the old fast pass system, but maybe thats just me not liking change.
