I guess I've got a little while to decide. Are you staying at the Fort?

We'll actually be at POR. The refurbished rooms with the Murphy Bed will be interesting. I figure the girls could share a bed and DS could enjoy the Murphy Bed.

I really like your possible surprises!

I'm in! We're going for our Disneymoon!

We'll be married May 18, 2013 and in Magic Kingdom May 19, 2013. A wedding and Magic Kingdom all within 24 hrs? Sounds like the best 24 hrs EVER to me!

We're hoping to stay in AoA, as well. The podcasts have some great reviews! We're anxiously awaiting the release of packages!

Does anyone plan to write a pre trip report? I kind of want to do one, but I have commitment issues. It'd be fun to follow along with someone who has more commitment than I.

Congrats! But you should really marry on the 19th of May. It's the date of my anniversary ... therefore, it's one of my favorite dates. And I'm a bit sad that I'll be leaving on the 18th ... the day before our official anniversay. Oh, well! At least we'll be there and can celebrate early!!!

I plan to start a PTR ... but it will be after I can get my laptop back up and running (as that's where all my pictures are stored). I know Corrine has a PTR already started ... but haven't found any other active May 2013 PTRs.

However, if you do a PTR ... I'd totally be in! A wedding???? OMG that would be a dream come true! You would get a huge following!

Hey everyone, I am Corrine and I am planning on taking my DD for her 8th birthday at the end of May. My original plan has been to go from May 26th - June 1/2. But the more I have been thinking about it I have been thinking on delaying it until tuesday to get in on the cheaper airplane flights. If that is the case I would be staying until the next tuesday. I really depends on the diffrence of the packages.

I'm thinking of staying at Pop to save some money for other things, but the lure of the moderates keep pulling at me.

I have started a PTR. I was depressed about not going to Disney anytime soon that I started a PTR for a trip that was almost a year and a half away. You will find a link in my siggy.

Haha I'll have to think about the pre trip report. Honestly, I don't know what you're supposed to include!

You can celebrate your anniversary the whole trip!!!

Anything and everything!! Honestly I include all the plans for my trip, thoughts I am having, things I am buying for the trip, and things that are happening in life. You will find that people who read your PTR's become your friends and its almost like a group of friends getting together and talk about Disney. (Especially great if all your friends are sick of you talking about your upcomming trip.) I also make a prioritly of reading others PTR's who are reading my PTR. It's alot of fun!!

I would definalty love to read your PTR.

If you have any questions about writting PTR's, read a couple and get an idea of what people are doing.

A PTR might be fun, although I don't write as well as many people. I've read a few in the past that were extremely entertaining! I might have the same commitment issues you have, ha ha.

I'm definitely going to check out Corrine's.

I just started a Disney May 2013 page on FB if any one is interested.

I'm also hoping over the the PTR now I'm excited to start reading some more details!

I have a separate question for you all. Do you plan to use a TA? I've always just booked myself because I love planning, but next year I'll be earning my master's degree (a two year program usually) in a year and planning a wedding, on top of a teaching internship that is three days a week. So I'm thinking I might use Dreams Unlimited because they will plan everything for me, including dinning reservations. I think my hesitation comes in because my uncle is a TA, but when I use him I have to plan everything myself and then tell him what to do - it's more of a pain than a help. What are your plans for planning?
