I have decided that a good way to get through my Disney excitement without driving the family crazy is to start a PTR.
I will let everyone know up front that sometimes my mind jumps all over the place so this could be a wild ride.
I love the little smilies so if they annoy you please stop reading this now because I would hate for you to get angry with me.

- I am the Mom, wife, and Nanette (my special grandma name. I just combined my name Annette and Nana) I love almost all things Disney and I love to plan our vacations. To me the months or years I do research and planning is part of the fun. 
The rest of the family IS NOT like me. They get annoyed if I mention it to much. 
If I had to guess how many times I have been to Disney it would probably be over 30 but most of them were in my teens and early 20's
He is okay with Disney but also wouldn't be upset if we didn't go.
I limit how much I talk to him about the trip because he starts to see $$$ and gets a little freaked out about it. 
She is your typical teen.
and doesn't want me to tell her anything about the trip until we are about ready to go.
He has only been to Disney 3 times and doesn't really remember the first 2 trips. He did get his first tooth at Disney World so I bought him a Stitch bib that said "teething at Walt Disney World" He was a major Buzz Lightyear fan and I am sad to see him growing out of that phase. 
and I take full credit for that. 
I still have to learn to insert images but I have the smilies down. 
that I should be doing but just get sucked into Disney mode and can't stop myself.
The plan has also been a great distraction because I lost a sister in Dec 2014 very unexpectedly and it has been very hard to deal with. 
I guess planning has been a sort of therapy for me. She loved Mickey Mouse and I had the pleasure of going to Disney with her so it also helps me remember some of the fun times we had together.
but with Ellen going into high school I didn't really want to take her out of school for a week.
so I planned the trip for the day after they get out of school. So June 3-11 2016 is now booked for us to party with 
and some of his friends.
and we will be getting the 
I really didn't know that it had gotten so hard to make reservations here but maybe it has something to do with them only being open for dinner now.
this one is a secret to everyone except DH. I originally decided that I would not use 2 dining credits for one meal but then found out from this site that we can share meals at the sit down meals as long as everyone has a dining plan. 
So after many many years (we're talking high school) I am finally going to make it back to one of my very favorites.
So the plan is to go here the night we arrive in Orlando and then head to the room to swim or relax before we start in the parks the next day.
Does anyone know what time I should get if we want to see illuminations while we are eating?
I can't believe I said that.
The kids are not bothered by it so if they get thirsty during the day I am going to let them get the free water you can get all around the parks. I am sure they will drink soda with the meals.
, DH with DGD and the book and lastly, Me holding DGD and the book. 
so he just doesn't get it at all.
To help that go by faster I read Disney email I get from like 3 different sites. I won't allow myself to look at those emails unless I am on the treadmill. I didn't get to walk this morning because I am feeling 
and tomorrow my dad is having surgery and we have to be at the hospital at 5am so Saturday I should have a bunch of email to read.
for different outfits for Princess Brookelynn 
when we are at Disney but he said absolutely not. 
1)days until we leave for Disney (as of right now I have 28476571 seconds or 474609 minutes or 7910 hours) 2) when I can make my ADR's and 3) when I can make my FP+
and I wish I would have had time to just lose myself here on the Disboards. It's my stand-in happy place until I finally get back to WDW!
That is a good motivation idea you have there! I very rarely hit up the treadmill at the gym (or the dreadmill as I call it! 
) but that is a good incentive! 
He's not on crutches but I am hoping that I have no use of this cute smilie in the future so I thought I would use it.
I am guessing she will be in a 12 months but if she hits a huge growth spurt she could be in a 18 month so we are waiting until next March or so to order. 
No that is Universal.
