Welcome to my Annual Pass Alooza 2013-2014!! This is the 2nd year we have had annual passes (if you want to read about our previous AP fun, you can go here). We activated them in December 2013 and are planning two more WDW trips with them, as well as an unrelated (to APs at least) trip to Disneyland!
Well who are we?!
I am Lauren, a mechanical engineer by day, and Disney lover by day & night!
I spent my free time planning new trips, tweaking (and adding) to the ones planned, looking up airfare deals & hotel deals when we DONT have a trip planned, etc. My 2nd hobby is childrens clothing, which I have a ridiculous love for purchasing my daughter tons of fun clothes hahaha. Many of which are Disney related, of course.
My background with Disney I grew up on the west coast and visited Disneyland a bunch from ages 7-18. I bugged my mom to take me to Disney World but she would not, so at 18 I booked a trip by myself, had it all planned out (and paid for) and then my mom decided to come with me. LOL And the rest is history I now live on the east coast and have been to WDW 12 times I think?
My favorite ride, however, still remains at Disneyland Indiana Jones adventure.
Oh, and we are trying for baby #2 maybe TMI but I know a lot of mamas on here also on that journey so I wanted to share.
Moving on
My DH Andrew is also a mechanical engineer, though his #1 hobby is boating, #2 fishing #3 going to Cape Cod and so on. He loves going to Disney but was okay with going every 2-3 years. I talk him into going or he stays home, but it aggravates me because when we are there he truly loves it! I will say, the more he goes the MORE he wants to go he is getting excited for our upcoming October trip. He absolutely loves Cape May, loves the Food & Wine festival, and loves it when I plan in relax time to spend at the pool. Haha.
His favorite ride is Pirates of the Caribbean and he just loves everything Pirates!
Our darling daughter Aria, is last but not least as she is the star of the show in my eyes! Aria was born 1/30/2012 so she will be 2 on our upcoming trips. Her first trip was at 8 months old and she has been to Disney world 6 times already. LOL! It has been SO SO amazing watching her grow up and change from trip to trip. Currently her favorite characters are Minnie, Goofy, and Mickey in that order, plus she loves Nemo, Ariel, Cinderella yes she is my child. She loves Disney. Also one of her favorite pasttimes now is to look through a Shutterfly book I made from our June 2013 trip she loves pointing out Dumbo and all the characters she met. Andrew doesnt stand a chance at staying away from Disney for so long with the two of us conspiring to go back! Hehe.
Coming up next Ill give a run down of the AP trips on the horizon and start on with our December 2013 stay at VWL! One of our most magical trips EVER!! Stay tuned!
