Hi everybody,
This is my first time doing a PTR, so bear with me please! I'm loving reading other PTR's and TR's, and since Disney has become my life at the moment I figured this would be a good place to put my thoughts.... especially since my husband is sick of hearing about it all haha!!
The Cast!!!!
Kristen.... yep that's me!!!
So about me..... I'm 29 (not for long... this is a birthday trip for me!) and was born near Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I moved to Australia when I was 20 and have lived here ever since.
When I was younger my family would take frequent trips to WDW, and once to DL. Last family trip was when I was 10. I have since been to DL with my husband in 2009, and we went to WDW in May 2013 when our daughters were 3 and 8 months old. My mom and niece also joined us on that trip.
Colin
My husband is 31 and was born and raised in Geelong, Australia. His first Disney experience was in High School, where he went on a school trip to Japan and spent a day in Tokyo Disney. He has since been to DL and WDW. He was convinced that nothing could beat Tokyo Disney, but has changed his mind since going to WDW. He still says Tokyo is better than DL though!
Miss P
She will be 5 for this trip! She turned 3 on our last WDW trip and remembers it all. She loves everything Disney Princess, and can't stop talking about all the characters she wants to meet this time that she missed out on last time. She is also looking forward to being able to go on some bigger rides this time since she is taller, and has even said she will try out ToT!!
Miss M
This kid lives and breathes Elsa and Anna! She was 8 months old for our last trip so doesn't remember any of it, so this is more like a first trip for her. She will be turning 3 while we are WDW and I know she is just going to LOVE everything.
Miss A
This is my niece (older girl in the photo!) and she lives in Toronto. She is 12, and seems to get lucky when I decide to go to WDW because I seem to be able to convince my sister to let her come along! She's really into Pin Trading when she's there, so that's something we enjoy doing together
Gail
This is my mom, who also lives near Toronto. She likes to come along and experience the magic of Disney with my kids. I'm down with that, it means I have a babysitter when Colin, my niece and myself want to do late nights at the parks!
Harvey
This is my stepdad, who also happens to be turning 70 just before our trip. I haven't previously been to Disney with him, as we don't really get along very well. Could make for an interesting trip, but my mom asked if he could come and I said yes. It's Disney, can't deny it for anybody! I don't have a picture of him though
Possible Additions
My best friend from Canada may be joining us with her 2 year old daughter and her husband, but they haven't booked yet so it's still uncertain whether or not they are coming. I have been booking my ADR's as if they are coming though. I will update on them once I find out if they are coming We would be celebrating her 30th birthday as well (2 weeks after mine!)
Sorry for the size of the photos! I will get better.... I promise!!
