Hi everyone and to my latest trip report!!! My name is Reese and I had so much fun sharing all of my planning experiences here for my September 2009 trip, I decided that I just HAD to start my PTR for my upcoming December 2010 trip!!! So, without further ado, Lets get this partay started!!!
Let's start with how this trip came to be shall we? So, I have been lucky enough to take my son, Devon to Disney World every year since he has been 16 months old, and after our September 2009 trip, I told him that we were taking at least a year or two off from going to Disney so that I could 1). Save to buy a new house and 2). I have a very demanding job and knew that I would not be able to take a vacation this year until at least the end of November. Reason being I work in broadcast advertising and being that it is a political year, we are SUPER busy with races country wide and basically can not get time off until after the general election in Nov.
Anyway, in November 2009 Devon and I were at his school's Christmas bazaar with his friend Luciano and his mom Jenn and we started talking to another mom who was actually leaving for Disney the next day. Well, the wheels started turning and Jenn and I said that the next time one of us starts planning a trip to Disney that we let the other one know so that we can go together... See we are both single moms and have found that half way thru our trips to Disney that the kiddos started getting a little antsy not having another child to interact with. Well fast forward to February... Philly had just gotten hit with a snow storm that dropped over 3 feet of snow on us and we were bracing ourselves for round two which was expected to bring us another 2-3 feet!!! I was sitting in work and and Jenn happened to send me a text saying that she was thinking of booking a trip to Disney, did Devon and I want to go??? So, I thought about it for a minute and said you know what... What the heck, who am I kidding, I can't go without a trip to Disney for a year or 2? I responded absolutely, but reminded her that I could not go till after November 2nd. After a few minutes of chatting, we decided the following:
Who: Me (Reese), Devon (DS8), Luciano (Devon's Friend 9) and Jenn (Luciano's Mom)
When: Friday December 3rd (My Birthday) to Saturday December 11th
Where: Pop Century
Thought I share a picture of Devon and I from our September trip:
Well, that about covers the basics for the trip I think! I hope you join me in my planning journey!!! See ya all real soon!!!
