Trip Number 9 ~ It's the Most Wonderful Time of Year ~ Christmastime at the GF & Poly
Hello!
 Welcome to my TR! Many of you already know me, so I will try to keep the intros short & sweet. We got back on Dec 16 from our 9th trip to Walt Disney World! It's hard to believe we have been there that many times. Our very first trip was in 2005 and we were hooked and we just keep going back!!  I am the mom, the wife, the Disney lover! I have been married to my DH for almost 15 years and we have 2 wonderful boys. I work part time at my kids school as a Teaching Assistant. I am also a soccer mom, PTO mom, room mom, and all that fun stuff! In my spare time I enjoy shopping, photography, and of course everything Disney! DH has become quite the Disney fan himself! He works a lot of hours as a Quality Assurance Inspector, so he really looks forward to our family vacations to the sunshine state! In his spare time he enjoys spending time with the boys and being outdoors. DS13 is our oldest. Hard to believe he's a teenager already.  He enjoys reading, being with his friends, playing video games, riding his 4-wheeler, archery, and loves roller coasters! He still enjoys Disney very much and I hope that doesn't change anytime soon. DS13 is very out-going and hilarious and is always the star of the show!  DS11 is our little guy. He enjoys playing soccer, being outside, playing video games, and most of all Legos!! He loves Disney very much and I can always count on him if I want to talk about Disney! DS11 is very laid back and easy-going and doesn't have a care in the world.  Here's a pic from our trip ~  Our WDW trip history includes: October 2005, May 2007, May 2008, Jan 2009, Nov 2009, Nov 2010, Aug/Sept 2011, and Apr/May 2012. When we were there this past spring there was a bounceback offer in the room for 35% off any deluxe resort. At the time we were at the BC and not enjoying the hectic atmosphere there and knew we wanted to be at the Poly next time. The bounceback dates were only through 2012, so we booked the last week available - Dec 9-16. Actually we only booked Dec 11-16, and later added on Dec 9-11 at the GF and turned what was supposed to be a quick little Christmas trip into a full week! I guess that about sums it up. So come on in and make yourself comfortable and don't be afraid to post!! I look forward to sharing lots of stories & pics with old friends and hope to make some new friends along the way too! Hope you enjoy!

 I don't think DS will be sharing his chocolate since it was from a very special girl.   Quote:
Thanks Lauren! I am excited to get this TR started. Could use a little distraction from real life. Hope you enjoy!
