Hi everyone!!!
This is my first trip report, because this is our FIRST family Disney vacation!!! So, SO excited!!
Me Im Kris and will be turning 35 on this trip. Actually my son and I share a birthday and he will be turning 4. I am a HUGE Disney fanatic and love everything Disney. Ive been to WDW twice with my family as a child and the last time was in 1988 so Im sure just a few things have changed since then . Ive also been to Disneyland twice with hubby, but even then it didnt seem the same as I was always comparing everything to how I remembered WDW. Even then going by a 15 year memory I'm sure things were a little off
Favorite Character Mickey of course!!
Favorite Movie National Treasure or Sleeping Beauty.
DHs name is Tom, and will be referred to as Goofy. Hes never been to WDW and has put up with my craziness for Disney. He knows Ive wanted to go back to WDW for several years and this year was finally IT!! Hes leaving all the planning to me which is fantastic seeing as its pretty much going to be a perfect trip for me with a few boy attractions to round things out The only thing he (and DS) have vetoed is no princess meals. Seeing as I live with Star Wars 24/7 I think a little bit of princess once in awhile is a good thing, but I'll work that magic once we're there
Favorite Character Jack Sparrow
Favorite Movie Pirates
DSs name is Jeremy, and hes our little Jedi. Hes our special miracle baby and were so blessed to have him in our lives. Hes such a great kid. Hes never been to WDW (or DL for that matter) and is so excited to have his birthday at Mickeys House. Were also having a regular birthday party the weekend before we leave as its very difficult to have a 4 year old understand why hes not getting a party like his friends Now before I get flamed, I realize that makes him sound spoiled and hes really, really not. If you saw those baby blues tearing up, youd be throwing him a party too Besides, even though I am his Mom and Im probably just a little bit biased, he really IS a great kid. As I mentioned, we share a birthday so once the Princesses were eliminated, we compromised on a birthday breakfast at Chef Mickeys. I was also going back and forth on a package from the Disney Florist, but then thought I might as well just make my own and surprise the little man with some 'specially from Mickey.
Favorite Character any of the villains, and he really likes Pete from Disney Playhouse for some reason. Hes always very sad Pete isnt in the hotdog dance at the end of the show
Favorite Movie Cars
DMILs name is Adele and shes our fairy Godmother. I know of so many who dont get along with their mils. I have to say that Ive been truly blessed with mine. Shes a wonderful lady and we get along great. Shes already been practice walking by going on several long walks a week. Its pretty impressive for a lady pushing 75!! Shes just excited seeing everything. Like Goofy, shes perfectly fine leaving all the planning up to me!! YIPPEE!!!
This trip does have a little bit of a sad note . Goofys sister (lets call her Cinderella) and her family were also planning on coming along for this trip. Part of the reason we decided to wait for so long was that Cindy wanted her boys (now 6 and 8) old enough for this trip. OK I get that not everyone is a Disney-holic like me so I have been VERY patient while waiting until her boys were finally age appropriate. When we finally started making plans, I realized there were going to be a LOT of compromise going to be required and it would make an interesting trip as our kids are very different and we certainly have different ideas re our dream vacations .. BUT I was still really excited as my nephews and the Jedi get along so well and all the adults really enjoy each others company as well. So right when we were finally going to book this past spring, she found out her youngest son had a tumour needing immediate surgery and chemo for a VERY long time afterwards needless to say, they were out. (Not cancer, its just where the tumour is). But my wonderful hubby told me we could go still as planned and plan another trip down the road when theyre able to join us as Ive already had my heart set on going this year YAY!! The Fairy Godmother still wanted to come as she was excited to go, so the planning for us continued
I dont have enough posts for pictures yet, but am working on getting those numbers up. Ill post some of the cast when I can.
