Hello everyone!
We're back from our super awesome first family trip to WDW, so I'm ready to get this TR rolling! My goal is to give you all as many tips/tricks as I can, and be entertaining to everyone who doesn't need them too!
Here's the link to the PTR, which has tons of tip links and lots of great info, so if you are looking for young child tips in particular, it's a great place to start.
Sweating PTR
Of course as this goes along, I'll refer back to a lot of that info and let you know what worked and what was a flaming disaster.
For those who are skipping the PTR, let me introduce my family:
Sarah (me):30 Obsessed WDW trip planner. I've been to WDW 6 times since 2003. I'm a children's librarian, which is the best job in the universe!
Justin (The_Horned_King): 30 He is the reason I am obsessed. In 2003 we decided to go to WDW for our Honeymoon, but that wasn't until 2004. Then the 7 for 3 deal came out and we couldn't resist. Been to WDW 5 times since 03 and twice(?) as a kid. Middle school Art Teacher--so we slave to the school calendar. He has promised to come on and give his version of things.
This is from our January 06 trip back before DH found his teaching job.
Lilliana: Our first baby, already a princess. She'll be 13 months for the August trip. This was Halloween:
And this was about a month ago from her first b-day
DH and I usually go in August, because that's really the best option for a teacher (school calendar) married to a librarian (summer reading @ the library in June/July).
So that was what we planned when I started getting crazy PIN code emails left and right. (That is what 4 seperate accounts plus a whole lotta "saved vacations" with disneyworld.com gets you!) And mixed in with the "free park hopper and more" emails I discovered a much coveted Free DINING PIN!! ANd not just the quick service one, no this is real free dining!!
This was WAY before it was released to the general public, so eh.
So our dates:
August 14-20
And we drove!! Insane? You'll have to wait and see!
