well, after lurking on the boards for a long time I finally decided to write a pre trip report.:banana:
So, first things first.........let me introduce the travellers..........
DH - AKA Grumpy (37) - Married for 5 years and I love him to bits!!!! He has 'earned' the nickname Grumpy due to his inability to get excited about ANYTHING.:scared1: Seriously.:scared1: I am NOT kidding:scared1: He could win a prize for hiding his excitment from the world:scared1: Its a shame really as he LOVES LOVES LOVES Disney World and our magical trips together- he is just old school and reserved about jumping around and singing 'It's a small world' -where as I am not:rotfl:
Me - AKA Caz AKA ArielRocks - because she does! (27) - long suffering wife to Grumpy! First visited WDW when I was 16 and have never looked back! I took Grumpy on his first trip to WDW and he caught the Disney bug BAD!! I don't mind that Grumpy is incapable of getting excited about things as I get MORE then excited for the 2 of us:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
Together we are MASSIVE disney lovers - films, artwork, parks, you name it - we love it!
We have been to Orlando 9 times, we even got married there 5 years ago! We normally visit with friends and family, but this year we decided we wanted to go ALONE.
thats right folks - we can get up when WE want to:cool1:
We can eat and drink what WE want :cool1:
AND BEST OF ALL WE CAN STAY ONSITE WITHOUT WORRYING WHETHER EVERYONE ELSE CAN AFFORD TO:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
We last went to WDW xmas 07 - as soon as we returned we decided we would book a trip for just the two of us to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary!
Together we have had a ROUGH 2 years.
We both lost our fathers, Grumpy's had Cancer, mine died of a sudden Heart Attack 11 months later. This was truly an awful time for both of us and I am thankful that we had each other to get through such a tough time:hug: :love2: We also moved house 3 times, our dog was almost paralised is a terrible accident and Grumpy started a new job!
See what I mean - that is a whole heap of stuff for a couple to cope with over 24 months!!!!!
So we decided some Disney Magic and Quality time together was needed - and of course, the only way that this was possible was for us to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Boardwalk:dance3: :woohoo: :jumping1:
We are leaving London 14th Sept - staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge for 1 week, then are transferring to The Boardwalk:yay: :yay: pixiedust:
It will be our 1st time on property and we can't wait (although Grumpy is hiding this well)
More to follow soon including how I have been planning and packing for 6 months already and what we have booked for our trip:cheer2:
