Hello and welcome to my first ever PTR!
(Technically it’s my second, but I actually intend on finishing this one).
(Technically it’s my second, but I actually intend on finishing this one).
In this PTR you can expect as many photos as I can find, silly memes, and possible freak outs.
On to Introductions!
First is me! Megan, 34, Commercial Underwriter for a Title Insurance Company (don’t feel bad if you have no idea what that means because I didn’t either until about 5 years ago), aspiring Organizational Psychology doctoral candidate.
First time to WDW: When I was 8, with my grandparents.
Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom (obviously)
Favorite Character:
Tigger (see picture)Favorite Restaurant (so far): Be Our Guest
Best thing about last trip: walking off of Space Mtn. and spotting DH with newly-purchased R2D2 ears on his head.
In 2012, I ran the inaugural Tinkerbell Half Marathon at DL with my friend Kathi and LOVED it and everything about DL. That’s when I started cooking up a plot to get DH and DS to WDW. (insert evil laughing here).
In 2014, the three of us enjoyed a wonderful, well-planned (thanks to the DIS) week at WL. We got home and told DH’s parents about it all and his mom mentioned that next time we went, they should go too. WELLLLL….. here I give you
Glamping with Grandparents!!!
Now, on to the rest of these characters….
DH/Will, 36, Beer Guy. All of his friends are in craft beer. Almost all of his shirts display craft beer logos. The ones that don’t are Star Wars
. So yes, he’s simultaneously a beer nerd and a SW nerd.
First time to WDW: age 9 with his mom, but he doesn’t remember anything about it
Favorite Park: Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom
Favorite Character: R2D2, Chewbacca
Favorite Restaurant (so far): Whispering Canyon
Best thing about last trip: chilling on the People Mover, people watching. That ride is henceforth known as People Watcher.
DS/Quinn, 8. This trip is a surprise for his 9th birthday. I’m SO excited about how he will react to this trip. We tried to do a little surprise thing last time and, let’s just say, it didn’t go so well. He wasn’t impressed. Thinking back, it’s probably because he had no idea what WDW was before going.
First time to WDW: 2014
Favorite Park: Hollywood Studios
Favorite Character: R2D2 and Boba Fett
Favorite Restaurant (so far): O’hana
Best thing about last trip: getting birthday cupcakes after pretty much every meal and (GASP!) mom actually letting him eat them. Apparently this surprise never gets old J.
Plus, he's been bothering me about going back lately. Hoping we don't get to a bad place before October...
MIL/Sue/Mimi, low 60’s, Will’s mom, owns real estate industry business. I know lots of DILs don’t like their MILs. My MIL, though, is the BEST. Honestly she is; wise, caring, helpful and just a wonderful person. I’m very lucky.
FIL/Tom/Grandpa, high 60’s, Will’s stepdad, co-owns business with MIL. He’s awesome too. His nickname, however, is sometimes (lovingly-called) Grumpa…. Grumpy Grandpa. I’d be remiss not anticipate him being at least a tiny bit grumpy on this trip. This usually happens when he’s tired or when his beer is empty. Mental note: keep cabin fridge stocked.
The grandparents remind me of Carl & Ellie.
And that’s it, folks.
Next up is preliminary plans!
