OK, I must confess....
I REALLY REALLY was planning on waiting to start this trip report at the 100 day mark...
I tried....
I tried to devert my attention by keeping myself busy reading other trip reports.....
I tried again by busying myself with writing my better late than never trip report about our last Magical Vacation to the World....
I Tried and Tried as I Might....
But....JUST.....CAN'T.....RESIST.....
The fever set in....and I will just let go submit to it....
I absolutely love to DIS. I get a slew of valuable information. But I love most reading the magical memories that others have experienced. The more detailed the better. I feel as though I was a part of it all. And the pics making it all the more real!
Another fave of mine, is getting to know people. IRL and online. So during my trip report, don't be surprised if you get a question or two thrown out at you. I genuinely love hearing others memories, ideas, or tips.
I am a compulsive planner. I make lists and check it twice (That's why I make a great Santa's helper! ) So this trippie will be chock full of lists, and ideas, and all that good stuff!
So let me start my magical Fairytale Dream!
Introductions:
Me: 34 years old (will be turning 35 on Day 3 of our trip...I get to celebrate it at DISNEY!!!) SAHM of two amazing kids. I am THE Family Planner Extrodianaire. Even my siblings call me to plan things out for them. Planning things makes me happy! A day only has 24 hours, and time is precious. Yes, definite Type A personality here. Maybe even a little Obsessive Compulsive too. But I wouldn't have it any other way! Don't underestimate this Tink....
When I am not obsessively planning what to do next, I am scrapbooking. I am a HUGE scrapbooker. I love it so much that I created a scrapbooking swap board. And to prove how obsessive I am planning, I already have my whole Disney vacation album set and ready to go with Disney swaps I have hostessed or joined!
Not only are Prince Charming (Donald at times) and I celebrating our 10th Anniversary on this trip, but I will be turning 35 on November 2nd!!! I can't wait! I never thought I would be celebrating my birthday at Disney!
DH- 34 years old. My hard-working, patient, loveable Prince Charming. He is the man who took my childhood dream of being a SAHM and with careful planning, made sure it became a reality. He's the best dad every kid asks for...he is involved and takes joy in spending his weekends and time off with his family.
DD- 8 years old. She is the ipitome of a Princess. I guess all these years of treating her and telling her she's one has conditioned her to believing it. LOL She is extremely friendly, sensitive, and loving. She is such a girly-girl. Princess ArieL is also a Family Planning Extrodinaire in training. She came up with her list of must do's and must see's and has a hand in making certain they are in the agenda.
When little miss Princess ArieL (I know, I know, it looks like a typo every time I write ArieL, but trust me it is on purpose. Her real name starts with an L so I thought it be fitting to jazz up her fairytale name a bit) is not ordering her little brother around, she is a prima ballerina! She lives and breathes dance! She has been attending dance classes for 4 years now and loves every minute if it. I know I may be partial, but she lights up on stage! She is counting down the days till she can join the competition team. Unfortunately, since at the moment I am a SAHM, and I take budgeting very seriously, we can not afford the extra $1500 expense it would cost for us to have her in it. She is extremely understanding, and says she will count the days till she can.
DS- 4 years old. (Will be celebrating his 5th birthday on the Disney Cruise!) He is our high octane, full of energy, fun-loving Stitch. Like Stitch, he can get himself into loads of trouble...but you can't stay mad at him for long. He is extremely loveable and affectionate.
Stitch is also the reluctant preschooler and soccer player. What is hilarious is that he hasn't even started regular school yet and he says "AWWW, Mom school takes FOREVER." He does the same for soccer too! He runs around the field "pretending" to go after the ball, but I think he does it just to please us. Gotta love him!
Ladies & Gentlemen, this is the cast of characters.
