I'm heading down to WDW over Mother's Day weekend for a girl's only weekend! My friend and her daughter (2) are going to accompany me and my daughter (5) to WDW! We're leaving the boys home and we will spend 4 lovely nights at Coronado Springs. This is probably the last time I will be able to do this as my son will be older and will not appreciate anything involving "girls only" and "wdw" in the same sentence. ;) I'm HOPING to get Cindy's for breakfast on Mother's Day (fat chance eh?), we're doing the new luau (because my daughter is absolutely obsessed with hawaiian culture thanks to Lilo & Stitch :) ), and of course Chef Mickey's. Anything else we could do to make it an extra special girly trip? ;) We were thinking about making some nifty t-shirts or hats. I can't wait!! I'm getting so excited!!!! *eeeek* ;) I feel like there is so much to do and show them that 5 days won't be enough time. :p
 
I believe you can do mother spa treatments (manicures, pedicures) at the spas. The 2 yo may be a bit too young but I am sure your 5 yo would get a kick out of it.

I would love to go to the Afternoon Tea with my mother. I have a feeling though that she would think that she had to act stuffy, so she wouldn't relax and have fun. :p My mom doesn't have a stuffy bone in her body, so it would be an awkward afternoon for her I think. :p LOL! :p
 
If the 2 yr old is potty trained, what about the Wonderland Tea Party for the girls & afternoon tea for the Mom's?

What about the family fun tour (I think that's what it's called) in the MK? They have them 2ce a day & you go on a search for either Captain Hook's best hook, or something else I can't remember right now.

If you can't get in to Cinderella's, maybe you could go to 1900 Park Fare. We really like that one & it's kind of "elegant" & might appeal to the girls because of Alice & Mary Poppins.

What about taking them to the Ice Cream Social over at the Garden Grill in Epcot?

I don't know if you could afford it, but what about having mother-daughter portraits done back in Liberty Square? That would be awesome! I know they can put 2 people on the same one. Or . . . my parents had silhouettes done one time. I know they were less than the chalk portraits.
 
Well, I don't have any suggestions.....
but I just wanted to say HAVE A GREAT TIME!!! ENJOY!!! :D :D
