It's a secret but I'm dying to share the details...

DH (Pat) with his buddy! He is my best friend and we always have fun together. He is a Firefighter and the wonderful dad of our 2 boys. Pat had never been to Disney before we went together in 2000. I was worried he wouldn't like it but he fell in love with the magic and we have been going as often as possible since then.

Me. I am a Teacher's Assistant and I work with 4 & 5 year olds. I truly am a child at heart. I love all things Disney and have been visiting the World since 1974.
Pat & I are going to both post our experiences. It will serve as our journal as well as a TR. I hope you all enjoy the 2 different perspectives of our days.
This trip began because after we planned our summer trip and rented out some of our left over DVC points we had a few points left over. Not enough to rent and we couldn't bank them. Pat jokingly asked if we wanted to be weekend jet-setters and go for 2 nights. I immediately said yes (he didn't even finish saying it)! We decided it would be our Christmas gift to each other but only if we could do it on a budget, and we wouldn't tell our family or coworkers we were going since we had just been there in November for our Anniversary.
We each had a $50 SWA credit that was about to expire and I had enough air points to cover a 1 way flight. We found great non-stop flights - early morning down to MCO and late night back home. We could stretch our time to the fullest! Our 2 RT flights cost us $330. Good on budget so far.
Our family knows about our Disney addiction and lucky for us they help enable us. Each year we get $100 in GC for Christmas so we used those to help pay for QS dining for 2 nights. I had Target rewards to use so we bought more GC to cover the rest. Dining = 158.56 - GC = total OOP $41.81
We decided to be adventurous and stay somewhere new this time so we are staying at Boardwalk Villas.
Coming Up Next: FP+ selections and daily plans
(I have posted this on the DVC board as well but was hoping to get more feedback on our plans on this board.)
