hello all this is my first pre trip report i enjoy reading others so i thought i'd give it a whirl
a little backround my name is stacie i'm 29 single no kids and i love disney i just returned 3 weeks ago from my first solo trip i stayed at pofq and i had the most amazing time ever i was so sad on my last day i literally cried lol so ive spent every day since trying to figure out a way to get back this year and coming to the devasting reality that i just cannot afford it
.
i've been helping my cousin melissa and her family plan their trip thats coming up in dec since jan of this year since they have never been or haven't been recently so melissa calls me a few days ago and says to me the most beautiful words i've ever heard "if you help us plan and babysit once a month and do a couple of other things for us you can come with us and youll only have to bring spending money and pay for airfare" Im sorry what was that i thought i had heard her wrong but she was serious i quickly agreed and just like that i'm heading back to the happiest place on earth during the holiday season no less.
so heres the players in this trip
me. stacie (aka luckiest chick alive)
melissa (aka best cousin ever)
kristen (melissa's girlfriend)
samyha (melissa and kristens daughter 8)
ty (the foster child they are caring for and the one i will be watching once a month 4)

Love so Love 
we tried to add a day on the 2nd but the treehouses were not available on that date we would have to go down to a 2 bedroom villa so melissa and kristen said if we were gonna do a two bedroom they want to go back to the animal kingdom lodge (where they were orginally going to stay before me and ty joined the party) but the animal kingdom had no available villas in fact the only openings anywhere were the 2 bedrooms at saratoga springs hmph so they decided that the free dining was not worth giving up the extra room (since they would have to share a room with the kids) and we are staying with the treehouses on our orginal dates its to bad it would have saved like 3000.00 (we are on the premium plan) but no matter what we did we couldnt make it work i spent like a hour in total on the phone with disney oh well like kristen said were still going it would have been nice to save money but its not gonna stop us from going no other real updates time is just going by soooo slow...
