I love getting questions!

I love social media! like L.O.V.E. it. This morning I woke up on and had a facebook alert from a mom that tagged me in her post...here is the question


"Ok Sarah Scott Broadus and any other Veteran Disney Moms... I'm having trouble deciding on which character breakfast to do: Chef Mickey's, Princess Storybook, or Crystal Palace. We had Chef Mickey's booked, but lately I have been reading that the food is subpar and it is noisy and overcrowded. I have heard GREAT things about the atmosphere at the Princess Storybook, but is it too similar to the Cinderella banquet dinner (we are doing that)?"
 Here is my opinion. We LOVE princess storybook dinner. it is our usually "Kick off vacation" meal. The food is sophisticated and makes for a great evening.
HOWEVER, Chef Mickey's is the place for kids. My girls actually prefer Chef Mickey's over any other breakfast at Disney. 
Each time we have been we have met Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto. However...I would love to see Daisy thrown into the mix. (Don't you ever wonder why she isn't always with Donald? I wonder if the have spats?)
The restaurant is noisy. But its wonderful, joyful excitement! And as a Disney mom, im not sure how many character meals I have had that weren't noisy?

If you have any questions please email them to thebroadusbunch@gmail.com or send me a tweet! @SarahBroadus

Planning is underway!!!

Oh my! Oh my! I am so excited to be planning ANOTHER Disney family vacation! It makes the year go by so fast when you know next summer you will be in the Happiest Place on Earth!

If you remember, our first family Disney vacation was just the 4 of us (09), Our Second, we brought along the grandparents for a real family experience (10), This year we took a break, to buy a house! and now we are planning our next vacation with FRIENDS! (12) I am so excited to be in planning mode!!

The best part about going with friends (who 3/4 have never been) is I get the pleasure of making sure they experience Disney at its best...and THEY HAVE A SON! So I get to incorporate some "less princessey" things! (Not that there is anything wrong with Princesses...But after our wonderful experience on the last trip with Cinderella's Royal Table...I'm holding on to that memory for a while!

To give you some details we know.
We will be there in July again. This just worked out this way bc our friend Chris started a new job this year and gets his vacation time during July.

We are staying at the All-Star Music again! This also just happened to be the value resort we all decided on! I do love me some Value Resorts!

We are going to be doing some new dining this time around (Crystal Palace, Le Cellier...) As well as some old favorites (Chef Mickeys!)

299 days to go! Have any of you ever done Disney with your friends????
