Relaxation, Disney Style, PTR. ~*TRIP REPORT HAS STARTED! 9/18 Pg. 155*~

[Lady Lallie]

Hi Everyone!

I've been on a bit of a Disney hiatus since finishing up my January 2010 Trip Report. I've moved to a new apartment, I've enrolled in school (I start next week) and have been super busy with life in general. Of course even with being super busy, I've been longing for a Disney trip. I'm happy to say that I've booked a trip to Disney for September.

So to start this PTR right. I'm going to tell you who is going!

The Cast.

Me! Leslie, aka LL on the boards. I think you know a lot about me if you've read my PTR/TRs before but I'll give you a quick version.

I'm Disney obsessed, shocker huh? My two favorite characters are Ariel & Mary Poppins. I'm going back to school to become a Medical Assistant. It's a 14 month program so I'll be busy with that and working full time. I had lapband surgery on August 26, 2009. I've lost 75lbs since then. Woot Woot! This will be my 8th trip to Disney. Oh and I'm obsessed with making trip itineraries.

Who else???

Hmmmmm....

Not Jen, who I've gone on my last two trips with.

Who else could it be?

My Husband! Who has been kind enough to let me head to Disney the last two times without him. He's ready for a vacation for the two of us....instead of flat screen TVs and a Wii gaming system. We priced out EVERYTHING that we were interested in and we just kept coming back to Disney and once Free Dining was announced that tipped the scales and we booked. This is going to be our big celebration trip for all the hardwork we have been doing this year in losing weight. Makes me laugh that we will be celebrating that with Free Dining.

Marc & I have been married for almost 2 years and our last trip to Disney was in September 2008. Marc also had lapband surgery in November and he's lost 95lbs! He's the best husband I could have ever asked for. He's even just started a part time job to help us pay for this trip. I'm very lucky that he is such a great guy. This will be Marc's 3rd trip to Disney. He doesn't really have a favorite character, though when I ask him to pick a Disney movie to watch it's either Robin Hood, Wall-E or The Incredibles.

We have booked our trip for September 22 - September 28th. And for more details than that...you are just going to have to wait and see.

Very exciting news! I had to laugh that free dining and "tipped the scales" were in the same sentence. Seriously though, I am happy you are going back with Marc. Can't wait to read ALL the versions of the plans!
