I am so excited to begin this trip report! This is not our first trip to Disney, but my first time following through with documenting the planning. I promise to add pictures as I go...
Thank you for taking a moment to pop in and see what my PTR is all about. I hope you following along on the journey.
The characters:
My DH (Jason): My DH is a 31 year old kid at heart. He is an amazing husband and an incredible father. Jason works very hard for our family and the community (sheriff's deputy). Prior to our honeymoon my husband had rarely traveled. He completely fell under the Disney magic but is not as big of a fanatic as I. This will be his 3rd trip to DW.
Me (Tiffany): I am a 32 year old school psychologist and complete Disney fanatic. This will be my 5th trip. I went to Disney with my parents at the age of 4 and then again with the high school band (and my mom) in high school. I would get teary eyed each time we saw something I remembered from our first trip. DH and I went for our honeymoon in September of 2007 and again in 2011 for a last pre-kids trip. Once I get the idea or longing to go to Disney I can't let go.
DD: Our sweet little girl, Miss K, will be taking her first trip to meet Mickey! She is currently 2 years old and she will be 3 when we travel. She loves playing in the water, music, books, building blocks, animals (we keep a zoo membership because of this little lady) and giving hugs. She is super independent and very inquisitive. She loves Jungle Book, Tinker Bell, Rapunzel, Ariel, and Disney Jr. I just recently showed her Cinderella and could not get her attention away from the movie... I digress
So last year I began planning a December 2014 disney trip with my hubby, daughter, and mom. After doing some planning and after much discussion we decided to postpone the trip to try and grow our little family. So, we took a family vacation to the beach with my parents. It was an awesome trip. Miss K loved the beach and having her pappy all week. After that life continued as usual. We got pregnant in November and unfortunately experienced a miscarriage in January at 13 weeks. We were devastated. After that I experienced multiple health issues and currently have to be tested for abnormalities with my thyroid. I'm only sharing that to explain the decision to go to disney. We've had a lot of stress and one day Miss K and Jason were watching cartoons when a disney world commercial came on. Miss K instantly began saying," you take me there. I go see disney world. We have fun. I love it." Her daddy said that I should look into it... And who am I to say 'no' when my hubby suggests I research a disney vacation!? So, I suggested that we go in September again. Crowds would be lower, prices reduced, and it is right around our anniversary! We could celebrate our 8th anniversary (where we honeymooned) and Miss K's first visit! He agreed that it would be a good time to go. So the planning began!
Now Miss K by no means gets her way on a regular basis and at nearly 3 she is a very grateful child. But, we had been discussing vacation destinations and I had mentioned a Florida beach and disney day, but I didn't believe it would happen.
The thought of going to Disney really did bring me some joy and gives me something to really look forward to.
