Come join the MouseScrapper family as we dig in to Eat and Celebrate--- DISNEY STYLE!!!!!!
Do you need a reason to plan a trip to Walt Disney World?
Not really I think, but it is always fun to have one .what is ours for the November 2010 trip?
***links to additional posts in post #2***
Before the trip in March of 09 was ON, I already knew after our June 08 trip we should plan a trip around the girls birthdays and stay for Thanksgiving too. We decided 2010 would be a good year to plan it in, having 1 year in between trips. Mae would still be young enough to love all the Princess Magic and enjoy being a little girl at Disney, plus Margaret turning 4 should be old enough to remember some parts of this special trip as she gets older.
I actually started planning this trip right after the June trip and began my resort research knowing the 2010 trip wed actually count as a family of 6 we had few options of where and how much we wanted to spend or budget for the resort.
* 2 rooms at a Moderate Resort like POR (where we had stayed in 08)
* Family Suite at All Stars Music Resort
* A Cabin at FWC
* A Deluxe Suite at the Wilderness Lodge Resort
I started jotting down notes in a spreadsheet and Word docs about transportation, room size, beds, costs, etc .after staying at the Poly and on the monorail I couldnt see how going back to all bus transportation would be great .but we knew On-Site was the only way for us. Oh well, I guess well sit on, after all, at the time I thought I had over 1 ½ years to decide.
Then came the Surprise Bounce Back Trip w/ my Parents just this past March (09) and the fateful day at AK and our visit to the DVC .
For those of you who read my previous TR know the whole story and you should be able to tell in my siggie .but we took the Plunge and bought into DVC!!!
Bay Lake Tower at CR, is our New Disney HOME! And we cant wait to be there!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naomi-Ruth (Margaret) (3): The upcoming trip will be her 3rd! She talks about going to Didney Word practically everyday and anytime it is mentioned shes ready to pack her bags and go. She is part Princess and part Pirate, full of sweetness w/ a lot of crafty hyperactivity thrown in. Her favorite characters are any of the Fantastic 6 and the Princesses!
Rachel (Mae) (7): The upcoming trip will be her 4th! She cant wait to go for her next Birthday and get a Its my Birthday button to wear. Mae is all Princess, she loves to sing and dance and dress up. Her favorite characters are Minnie, Jasmine, Belle, Ariel and her favorite attraction is the WEDway People Mover (TTA).
Rebekah (Aldine) (11): One of the twins and this upcoming trip will be her 4th! She can be my co-planner on this one and cant wait to help me as we start planning more of the fine details. She is looking forward to bringing another one of her mini American Girl dolls and hopes its warm enough to slide down the waterslide at BLT. Her favorite characters are Jasmine, Belle, Remy (from Ratatouille) and Kim Possible. Her favorite attractions are BTMRR and Test Track, shes thinking about if shell be brave enough to go on ToT w/ me.
Nathan (Michael) (11): Twin to Aldine and as well this trip will be his 4th trip! He is the co-navigator while we are there and cant wait to eat all the FOOD! Michael is my sweet boy and may not be mischievous like one of his favorite Characters, Jack Sparrow but loves treasure and mystery. He is lives each day w/ High-Functioning AUTISM (Aspergers) and this can make his trips to WDW a bit complex in finding the right balance of fun and rest but overall the MAGIC of Disney always shines. Another of his favorite characters is Donald Duck and his favorite attraction is TSM.
Dad/DH (Matt): He may not be as high of a Disney addict or as OCD about planning as me but underneath that, his inner Mickey and Walt shine through. This will be our 7th trip together! For the most part the planning is up to me, but he chimes in on the important things like ADRs and attraction must-dos. His favorite Characters are Mickey, Alice (and all the other AiW friends), and that guy on Bald Mountain from Fantasia. His favorite attractions are Mission Space, POC, and BLAB.
Me- MouseScrapper, Scrappie (Julie): Anything Disney brings out a huge smile on my face, but especially planning and going to WDW! I love researching, planning, and figuring out all the details and now sharing it w/ you my Dis-Friends. This will be my 8th trip to the World! My favorite characters are a bit like me Piglet (small and helpful), Cinderella (homemaker extraordinaire and found her Prince), Mrs. Incredible (if only I had those expandable arms) and Mary Poppins (I love my spoon full of sugar). And a few of my favorite attractions are IASW and ToT.
DMIL-E and DFIL-M Matt's Parents will now be coming w/ us for the first half of the trip (Fri 19-Tues 23). They have been to WDW several times and this will be their second trip coming w/ us! I think they are excited to return w/ their grandkids and help celebrate Mae and Margaret's birthdays.
