Hello Disers,
It has been far far too long since my last trip and I am so excited about this one that I had to do a pre-trip report so the people in my life do not go crazy with my anticipation, so I thought I would ramble here about our upcoming trip. So sit back relax, have some coffee and a snack and be my guest!
The cast of crazy characters
First off on our epic journey navigating the waters of planning is introducing ourselves. I will start with myself since I will be your guide.
Me: Jess
I am a wife to a fantastic man and mother to the most amazing little guy in the world (I do realize that I am biased). I know that it will come as a shocker to everyone being that I am here on the Disboards but I am a planner. I work for a very well known tech company. I am a coffee lover (mostly Starbucks), a crafter, love reading, shopping (Target is one of the best places ever), clothes, football (Broncos and Norte Dame) and things with a theme! Spending time with my family is my favorite thing in the world though. I was the one in my family that started the Disney mania. I talked DH into a trip for our 5th wedding anniversary and Disney was one of my first vacation experiences that surpassed my expectations and that is hard to do.
Also in this report I will talk about wanting to get back in shape for Disney. Two years ago I lost almost 50 pounds on Weight Watchers but because of the stress of the last two years and me getting lazy I have slacked. I am determined though to get in my best shape possible for Disney.
DH: I will call him by his nickname I use for him Ro he actually answers to it. His real name is Robb.
Ro loves football he is the one that really made me love it. He is a huge Notre Dame fan because of Joe Montana. He has joked that if we ever have a daughter he wants to name her Montana. He is a big San Francisco 49ers fan too even though they have had some rough seasons. He loves pizza almost as much as football if this man could eat pizza for every meal, he would do it. He loves the outdoors and fishing. He is an amazing father and husband. He is a big kid and so super funny. He can always make me laugh. He wasn’t so sure that he was going to love Disney as much as me until our first visit. Then he was hooked, just like a fish!
DS: Pey short for Peyton. He is almost 22 months old but will be almost 3 at the time of our trip.
Peyton is the absolute love and sunshine of mine and Ro’s lives. He is so funny, loving, mischievous, bright, and just all around amazing little man. He is a miracle and a blessing. He loves tractors, trains, cars, Mickey Mouse, blocks, and playing in water! This will be his first trip. We will be celebrating our one year anniversary of Family Day, which is our version of Gotcha Day. Peyton was officially adopted on May 20th of this year. I will type more on our story in a future post.
Next up is my parents:
My Mom and Dad:
My mom is not a huge Disney fan or so she tells every one but then when someone asks her something about Disney World she talks about how nice it is and the next time that we go she thinks that we should do this or that for someone who isn’t a fan she sure seems to like it a lot. My mom is my best friend, she is amazing and strong. She is the best grandmother I could have ever asked for, of course I think she was the best mom too! She loves shopping, thrift store shopping (she is the queen of good bargains), she is very honest and I can always count on her not to sugarcoat anything and give it to me straight.
Dad is a big softie. He has such a compassionate heart for people and animals. We call him the squirrel man because he has the squirrel’s that live around mom and dad’s house trained. They come to his garage door and he hands them nuts. It is really cute and funny. He loves coffee (maybe that is where my love comes from)! He was the best dad ever, I always knew he had my back. He really loves Disney, even though he has only visited once.
That is the cast for this trip. We may be adding my bestie and her family but they haven’t decided. I will add them later if they decide to come.
Up next: The When and How this came to be

I am glad to hear that my mom isn't the only one that dose that. I think it is pretty funny, she goes on and on about wonderful things there then she is like well I don't really like it. It cracks us all up.
