Wow ~ that looks like an ambitious plan ~ I'm a bit tired just reading about it. Sounds like a great weekend though and what a nice chance to be able to go back for your 5th anniversary! Hope you find the paintings you are looking for ~ would love to see pictures if you do as I don't recall seeing something like that. Mmm, Via Napoli, I'm hungry just thinking about it, those zeppoli dessert donut holes are the best! Great deal on the airfare too ~ wish we could get deals like that up north :D

I just found the artist online who made all of the paintings! I'm hoping they have plenty at the resorts we are stopping by!

sorry for going off-topic...

I also just found the paintings on the new Shop Disney Parks app...which tells me exactly how much they are and exactly where to find each painting. Sooooo cool. Also nice to know the Kidani painting is actually at Kidani and not Jambo...which will change our plans on going there.

Each painting is between $20-$35...so not too bad. The only downside is that we can't buy them all at once to get our Disney Visa discount...unless we could buy them all at once via that app. Hmmmm....off to do some research...

Nice! And affordable as well. Hope you are able to find a way to use your discount!

Did you see that he will be at EPCOT during the time you are there? In Art of Disney!

SO COOL!!!

DW is going to be so happy. Makes me wonder if we should buy an Epcot one there and get him to personalize it.

Thanks for letting me know, Amy! :goofy_bounce:

Wow what a schedule! That put's my spreadsheet to shame with your step by step list of things you'll do! Love it though!

That is a GREAT idea of a collectible from each resort you've stayed at. Makes me want to do the same thing!

So I showed DW how that painter has prints of all of the countries in WS...and now she wants all of those as well. Somehow our budget went from about $120 to $300. ;)

As far as my schedule...that's what happens when you plan imaginary WDW trips all the time and then finally get the ability to plan a real one. My touring plan from TouringPlans.com helped a little bit as well with regards to the timing of things in Epcot. The most important thing is to ride as much as you can in the morning so you can relax the rest of the day.

Maybe you can work out a package deal with him when you are there ~ all of the prints! And then you can just get them framed and put up as you stay in the resorts ;)

You are so talented yourself, maybe you should lobby instead for more art supplies and get to painting! :lol:

29 days to go... As I posted on Twitter last weekend, my travel documents arrived from WDW on Saturday.. Nearly there! Less than a month, now!

89 days to go until DLP, too...

Only 14 more days to go! I should be getting my DME vouchers in the mail soon but the best thing about the waiting period was when my MagicBands were delivered to my house.

*sniff* I don't get that luxury. Apparently they only ship magicbands within the US. I have to pick them it when I check-in to the hotel when I arrive.

Still.. 24 days to go... :)
