Greetings everyone! :welcome: to my very first TR! I am really excited to share our amazing week at WDW with all of you! I was sitting at work this morning thinking of Disney and then thought about how I still have not started my TR! So I quickly signed on to the DIS and then realized...I will not have access to any of my pictures! So I decided, thats OK! I will do a little background on me, since I am still fairly new here. So here it goes... :D

My name is Dawn and I live in Buffalo, NY. Yes, we do have pretty cold winters, but I love it! The cold and snow are beautiful, and I love winter clothing! Along with being a Disneyholic, I also play hockey for a Women's team in the area called the Buffalo Regals. We have been to Nationals in California which was a great trip (sadly, I did not have much vacation time so I could not extend my vacation and go to Disneyland:(). I am married to my best friend, Dan, who puts up with my Disney craziness. Don't let him fool you though, because he is starting to become quite the Disney enthusiast himself!

We took the plunge and are in the process of becoming DVC members! We bought a resale contract with our home resort being AKL! We are super excited at the thought that when we go next year we will be staying in one of the DVC villas! It is very surreal! :crazy2:

The first time I walked down the middle of Main St., USA was in 2001.
I was instantly hooked. :lovestruc I may have been fourteen, but I felt like I was a little kid again! All the Disney movies that I grew up with came to life in a way I never even dreamed of! After that, we visited in 2002, 2006, and 2009. Times they were a changing, and WDW would take on a whole new meaning to me and become even more magical in 2012! It was not only my first time staying on property, but my now husband, Dan, proposed to me! We went to the wishing well near Cinderella Castle for what I thought was a photo-op, it turned into the greatest proposal a lady like me could ask for! We then went back in 2014 for our “Disneymoon” in December, waiting six looooooong months after our wedding in June 2014.


My Disney love increased ten-fold that year, as I could not believe how wonderful Christmas time is in the Magic Kingdom! It gave us the feeling that we would never outgrow this magical place, a place we now deem our second home! Every time we are there now, we imagine what it will be like when we have children of our own and are taking them for their first time. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves! We like having our time at the moment! :-)

We enjoyed MVMCP so much last year to get us in the Christmas spirit, so it was time to take a trip during the fall to celebrate my second favorite holiday, Halloween! We attended MNSSHP and ate our way through WS at Epcot for F&W! We had such a great time...despite the lovely head cold I got while there. But I knew I had to "just keep swimming"...I was in Disney after all! All this and more to come!

That is so awesome! I cannot wait to stay at VWL! We were going to buy there but it just was taking forever to come up with the points we wanted. We always go there to explore when we are visiting WDW.
