Bringin' the HAPPY back! A (do-over) Spring Break TR! - The DIS Discussion Forums

michellem1118 · 03-23-2010, 05:52 PM

Hi everyone! If you read my last trip report (link in siggy), you'll remember that we (or at least I) had a horrible trip to the happiest place on earth... traveling with family will do that to a person!

Well, when I started my TR, and started reading other TR's, I decided that perhaps a return trip, just DH & I, was in order. So, with a bit of (ahem) encouragement from other DISers **cough*wigd*cough**, I booked us a spring break stay with our DVC points.

The Cast:
Me - Michelle... I'm a HS history/geography teacher, and a Disney nut ... obviously!

This spring break trip was WDW trip #7 with DH, and trip #9 overall.

DH - John... a HS math teacher

and fellow Disney nut. This was also his 9th overall trip to Disney.

This is us on our first trip together... in April 2007.

We don't have a whole lot of pictures together, but that was hopefully rectified this trip.

Important Details:
Dates - March 13-18, 2010
Resort - Beach Club Villas

More coming soon, time to download photos from the camera & upload them to photobucket.
