"Big Girls Only" A September 2015 PTR *UPDATED 8/13/2015*
Hi there everybody!
My name is Mary and I will be your narrator on this extensive, and probably overly detailed, journey into my family's next WDW vacation! This is my very first attempt at a PTR so bare with me as I learn all the tricks, and I promise I'll try not to ramble on too much... 
Let's get started with some introductions. I was born in Miami, and have lived here basically all my life (minus a year I lived in Orlando and worked as a CM
in the MK). My folks divorced when I was a little squirt so my sis and I were raised by my mama. We are a Disney loving family and have had the luxury of visiting WDW at least once a year since I was almost two years old.
Sis is an all around performer; acting, singing, dancing, acrobatics; if it happens on a stage she's good at it! When she was 18 she went to college in NYC and stayed there!
It was hard to say good bye to her, but the distance has actually brought us closer to each other.
Mama still lives in Miami; she works for our Film Festival here and runs a great antique jewelry store online. We have always been a crazy group of girls, and while age has calmed us down a bit, we still know how to let loose and have fun!
The three of us are very close; every opportunity we have to spend time together is always fun!
There are a few other people I feel I should mention here. The first is my DBF. He's the apple of my eye, the cream in my coffee, the Roger to my Jessica
We are a goofy twosome and have been together, romantically, for three out of the 10 years we have known each other.
DBF is a good sport about my Disney love, but he himself isn't nearly the fanatic I am. Sure he likes the movies and has fond memories of Disney as a kid, but he thinks I'm a little cooky
We took our own little Disney Vacation back in 2012, and I am very sad to admit that was the last time I have been to WDW. But there is good reason for that. See we planned a trip for 2014, a BIG trip. Sis was gonna fly down and the four of us were going to stay in WDW for 10 days and do ALL the things we've always wanted to, but something in my life changed, pretty big change too...
No folks, I didn't have a big lunch, DBF and I are having a baby!
We couldn't be happier or more excited to become parents. We expect our little princess to arrive any day now!!
Needless to say that kind of means our WDW plans had to be put on hold. DBF and I decided going to WDW with a brand new baby probably wouldn't be too much fun for us, or her for that matter! We figured we'd wait until DD was a bit older and could really enjoy herself in the parks. So planning a trip wasn't in my near future, or so I thought...
DBF decided that I should go to WDW without him. He told me that next year (2015) he would take care of DD while mama, sis and I take our dream WDW vacation; he said it would be my gift from him for having our baby (little does he know having her is gift enough
) While I was totally ecstatic to be going to WDW, I wasn't sure I could I plan a vacation knowing it wouldn't involve my sweet baby girl. I mean, will I be able to leave my first daughter with her daddy while I go off gallivanting through the streets of the Magic Kingdom with my mama and sis? 
DBF, mama and sis all agree that I don't have a choice! It's been nearly 10 years since I've been to my second home with my mama and sis, which is just too long, I mean mama and sis have never ridden EE and none of us have even seen the FantasyLand expansion! We are calling this our "Big Girls Only" Trip since it will likely be the last time the three of us head to WDW together without SOs or babies. As for my leaving DD with DBF, well I was told that "I'd better, or else" not sure if I should take it as a sweet gesture or if I should be a bit scared
!
Well there ya go! That's my basic family history, hope it wasn't too long winded. I'll do my very best to keep up with our plans; we do have an entire year! But with baby on the way, something tells me sis may be joining DIS and writing this PTR with me! Hope you'll stick around for the planning!

). Now I know that it is suggested not to book your resort if you want Free Dining, but we have a lot of ADR's we want so we needed the reservation to get our 180 day window. Seems like we will be those awful people who change resorts (if necessary) to get the deal... 
. We have decided we will visit AK and HS one day each and our other two days will be dedicated to MK (my favorite park

I just can't wait to meet her and hold her and watch her discover all the amazing things in this world!
