Hello and welcome to my latest Pre-Trip report. This will probably be the last one for a while as I dont have any plans to go back to WDW till 2017. Of course everyone that knows me says theres no way Ill make it that long so we shall see.
For those who are new to my reports, my name is Ariana, Im 41 and I live outside of Atlanta, GA. Here I am with my favorite guy in the whole world.
I am married but my husband, Jim, is not a huge Disney fan. He has gone a few times with me but does not have the urge to run back the second we get home. Once every two or three years is fine with him. Here we are hanging out with Gaston.
We dont have any two-legged kids but do have four four-legged babies.
Our oldest guy is a schnauzer named Eddie. Hes 13, completely blind (lost both his eyes to glaucoma), and is going a bit senile. Hes still my baby though, weve had him since he was six weeks old. Because of his dark coloring, I have an awful time getting good pictures of him so this one is a bit old. You can see in the picture that he still had one eye when this one was taken.
Next in line is Alex. Hes 8 years old and a Schnauzer mix. His Mom was a pure-bred Schnauzer who went for a walk one day and came back pregnant. He is the first of our babies that followed me home from the Animal Shelter that I volunteer at. He is a complete Mamas boy and is almost always somewhere near me.
Sierra is our 4 year old Schnauzer and she is 100% Jims baby.
Our final baby is Remy. He is the second one that followed me home from the shelter. We brought him home to foster over Christmas last year and he never went back. He will be 5 in December and is a Yorkshire terrier. He and Sierra are best buds and like to beat the snot out of each other daily.
This upcoming trip will be my fourth in 2014 and my ninth since 2010. Prior to that I had gone six times so this trip will be #15 overall. In February of this year, we did a huge family trip to Disney and my cousin got married while we were there. In May, Jim and I did a quick weekend for the Flower and Garden festival. TRs for both of those trips are complete and are in my signature if you care to go back. My third trip for 2014 just ended last week. It was a Mother/Daughter trip and we had a great time. As soon as I get my Photopass pictures straightened out, I will be starting a TR for that trip.
So a little more about this trip:
Who: Me, me and me! This will be my 2nd solo trip and I am really looking forward to it. While I love going with other people, I find solo trips to be very freeing. If I decide to ride Space Mountain four times in a row at 10 pm at night, I can go right ahead and do it (I really did do that on my last solo trip).
What: A Disney trip of course.
When: November 29th December 7th, 2014
Where: Preferred Room at All Star Movies with a request to be in the 101 Dalmatian section. Ive stayed at the other two All Stars and at POP so after this trip I will only have AOA left to try in the values.
Why: Well, I bought an AP this year so I wanted to get the most use out of it. Plus I really wanted to see all of the Christmas stuff again. Mom and I did Christmas in 2012 and Ive been dying to go back again. I had this trip planned for mid-November but when Mom asked me to go back with her in October, I moved the trip forward a few weeks so they werent so close together. Not that I would have minded but I think my boss would have.
Finally, about the title of the PTR. As I stated above, Pluto is my main man. I have loved him for as long as I can remember. I have several Pluto souvenirs that I have had my whole life. So this trip Ive decided that Im going to wear nothing but Pluto gear and try to meet him in all four parks. Surprisingly, Ive never met him in either Epcot or MK.

Here we go 
After all, Jim sort of invited himself along on the last one you tried to plan. 
Non-Disney lover...yeah right! 
Always love seeing pics of your adorable pups. 
He is has the softest fur, and I still sleep with him sometimes when my DH isn't home!!
