Greetings my friends! Welcome to my awesome pre-trip report. Join me as I plan our *FIRST* trip to Walt Disney World! 
It might be just a little early to start one of these, but I have learned by jumping on this side of the boards, that planning a trip to WDW is a bit different than planning a trip to DLR (Which DH and I have been to many times!) I also have to have a place where I can obsessively plan/talk to others about this trip because although DH loves Disney, I don't think he wants to talk about it during every meal/car ride/shopping trip/tv show...etc. He must be crazy!!
So out with the Matterhorn... let's bring on the Everest (or some other mountain that WDW has and DLR does not 
).
First off, I will start by introducing the characters of this adventure.
My name is Ashley and I am 23 years old. I have been to DLR many times and I've always loved it. I do have to admit that I have been to WDW before, but only for 2 days and I was so young I don't really remember it! So this is pretty much my first time, since it will be my first time at most of the parks there also.
List of my favorites:
Ride: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Treat: Dole Whip
Show: Fantasmic!
Pixar Movie: Finding Nemo
Disney Movie: Peter Pan
My husband's name is Matt and he is 25. I took him on his first Disney trip in September 2007! He was one of those people that was under the impression that Disney is for babies. But now he really enjoys it and is really looking forward to going to WDW! I am proud to be the person that finally took him there and now he loves it.
List of his favorites:
Ride: California Screamin'
Treat: Tigger Tail
Show: Fantasmic!
Pixar Movie: Cars
Disney Movie: Peter Pan (also)
I am still trying to figure out the specifics, which is fine, cause I've got time to figure it out! One thing I do know is that we will be going at the end of January 2014. January has always been our favorite time to go to DLR (for the low crowds and cold weather) and from what I've learned the same pretty much applies for WDW as well.
Where we will be staying depends on how much money we will be willing to spend. I love the Boardwalk and the Polynesian based on what I've seen here. But I also think the POFQ or POR is really nice too, and gives more money for other things we want to do! I've also come up with the idea of a split stay, so that will be something we can figure out once the prices for Jan '14 show up on the WDW website! 
So here we go, this is the beginning of a vacation that we've been planning since our first DLR trip together in 2007. We are FINALLY going and it will all be totally worth the time we've waited. This year has gone by so fast already that I know it will be here before we know it. I hope you will all read and comment along with me as I try to plan my first trip to the World!

I guess it just depends on the family. For our first trip though, I think we need to at least see for ourselves!
