Bonjour and to my trip report.
My name is Queila and I am a 34 year old dental hygienist from Montreal.
Actually, I am really from Brazil but I moved to Canada 10 years ago to be with my husband Joey. He is that awesome.
We have a four year old daughter named Beatriz and we have been dealing with secondary infertility for the past two years. We tried fertility but lost two pregnancies in the last year. I guess you can say it has been emotional but planning and executing Disney trips have been a wonderful day to lighten up and bring some *pixie dust* into our lives.
This was our 4th trip as a family of three. Beatriz has been to Disney pretty much every year since she was born and, let me tell you, she is turning to be quite a Disney bug. On this trip she was finally tall enough to do some of the bigger rides and that fact alone added a whole new excitement to our trip.
Joey is a full on Disney dad himself and his love for all things Disney increases with every trip we take.
This time around we had friends tagging along with us. It was a family of four with kids 6 and 3 years old. Hence, the task of "managing" 7 bladders and three strollers under the August Summer heat.
Being a larger party definitely slowed our pace down but I was ok with it for the most part. It helped me to just let the trip happen instead of trying to plan every minute of it. Turns out, we still got a lot accomplished and had a great time.
It was their first time at Disney and I got a little kick out of experiencing Disney through their eyes. I was happy to be able to show them a good time too.
The trip was from Aug. 26th to Sept. 3rd 2012. We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter with free dining and had a 8 day Magic Your Way Ticket with no hopper pass.
You can read my TR for our 2011 trip right here. My TR's are known for dragging for quite some time but I always finish them so I hope you stick around!
This is my favorite picture of this trip. It was taken on day 4 by the Sassagoula River on our way to dinner at Port Orleans Riverside:
