This is my first trip report which is appropriately for my first trip to WDW. We live in Southern California, 12 minutes (no traffic, driveway to Parking structure) from DL, so this will be quite an adventure. We will be spending 8 nights at the Beach Club, and then will shoot down to Port Canaveral for a 7 night Eastern Caribbean Cruise on the Fantasy. This will also be my first cruise, and what better way to start.
Cast- WDW
Me – Disneymom70
I grew up in Orange County, California, so the Disney I know and love is DL. I work for a CSU, so we have to work around the school year, not just for my kids. I am a Disney fanatic, and have been planning for this trip for over 5 years.
DH –
DH grew up near the Ventura/LA County line, and has been a recent convert to all things Disney. We started going to DL together when we were dating, and recently, we have had annual passes on and off, which he took advantage of more than me – SHOCKING! We have been together for almost 19 years, and married for almost 8 (we really wanted to be sure ).
DD- 6
She is over half-way through Kindergarten. She was raised going to DL, loves the Princesses, and is super fun and outgoing. She also has JRA (diagnosed when she was 2), but is doing great right now. When I am not planning for WDW, I am fundraising for the Arthritis Foundation with her.
DS- 3
He is ALL boy, and really keeps us on our toes. We are really working on Potty training right now, as my husband refuses to bring any pull-ups, etc. on our vacation. He loves Buzz, dinosaurs, trains, but is not above playing with his sister’s princess dolls. DD loves to dress him up as her favorite princesses – life size doll- who wouldn’t like that. I may post pictures of him later – definite blackmail fodder for when he is a teen.
Our trip will start 6/21/2012 and finish on 7/7/2012.
We are leaving on the red-eye on Thursday night (11:40pm – I didn’t think there were even flights that late) and will arrive at 7:30 am.
We will be staying at the Beach Club, scored free CL , and got the DDP.
On June30, we will leave the World and board the Fantasy for our Eastern Cruise.
Additional Cast – DCL

My DH’s mom loves Disney almost as much as me. The cruise was her idea, and we are excited to do this with her. (No-not just because they can watch the kids )
FIL
Tricky one here. He is NOT a Disney person. He is doing this for the kids (and because his wife is making him). We are trying to be very sensitive to this when planning things.
I am so excited to be sharing our trip, and my hope is that I will have as much fun ON the trip as I have had PLANNING it.
