Since I just joined DIS and didnt write a pretrip report I will give you some background before I get into our trip!!
AJ (DS age 4) was granted a wish last December by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Since Mickey is his favorite thing in the entire world he asked them "Please send me to Mickey's House!" So we wound up with a 7 day 6 night Disney trip!!!
I, of course, had never been to Disney World, and neither had AJ or Reid (DS age 2) So I was thrilled and so excited. I chose June 29th to July 5th because AJ Loooves fireworks and I figured that the fireworks would be incredible on the 4th!
Okay, so let me introduce you to us now...
This is me.. Mom, Jessica... Im a tinkerbell fanatic! I spent most of my childhood trying to convince my parents to take me to Disney, which obviously never happened so this trip became even more special to me
This is DH, John. He was so excited to be going to Disney as a family! The last time he went was when he was about 10 years old. We have been together 8 years (married almost 4!) My high school sweetheart
This is AJ. He is my heart baby. He was born with a complex heart defect, has had 3 heart surgeries and will have another within the next year. He LOVES Mickey Mouse but picks a new favorite before the end of the trip.. hmmm wonder who it will be??
This is Reid. He is also a miracle baby. He was born at 28 weeks weighing in at only 2 lbs 4 oz, spent 4 months in NICU and had surgery on his stomach and liver before coming home. You could never tell now though as he is solid. He is a cranky little boy though and hated the entire trip to Disney.. I am hoping this is only a phase because we have many more trips in our future.
I apologize in advance for the quality of some of the pics in my report as we didnt realize until day 4 that somehow the lens got dirty , so we thought the camera was broken because of the fuzziness so a lot of pictures were taken on DH's BlackBerry...
So onto Day 1!!
