Or, a story of how I got laid off in the midst of planning a trip to Disney.
Or, I was going to move to Florida in January, why not do it now?
That's right. This is a story of how I was just planning a quick trip to Disney for Halloween that's turning into so much more!

Who am I?
Well, I'm Susie, of course. Lover of the beach, coffee, and all things Disney. This will be my 8th trip to the World.
Like many of you, I was bitten by the Disney bug early on. My mom is a Disney kid and felt is was only right to indoctrinate me and my brothers in the Disney Way. However, it seems that I'm the only one that it really stuck with... Obviously, in my mind, there is so much more to me, which you will learn as we go along.
So, what is the purpose of this PTR? Well, let me tell you. I am a HUGE fan of reading trip reports and PTR's, so why not write one? Except, for some reason I had been super intimidated by all the amazing TR writers that I follow and comment on. But then I figured, this was as much for me as it was anyone else. Before I get into the full "Why's" of this PTR, let me give you some details of the trip.

This is my mom and dad. My Disney traveling partners in crime. My dad is not coming with us on the trip, but he may pop up from time to time.
Let's focus on Beth (that's my mom). Like I said, she's been a Disney fan since childhood. As a matter of fact, when my aunt was born, my grandparents let my mom pick her name. My mom's favorite Disney movie is Sleeping Beauty, so naturally she chose Aurora. But, they didn't go for that. Next, she tried Briar Rose. Still no go. So she went with her second favorite movie, Peter Pan, and chose Wendy. Like I said, BIG DISNEY FAN! My mother is my Disney traveling companion, as no one else really seems to want to go as often as we do.
This will be my mom's 10th trip to the world, but she will be adding SO MANY more (which I'll get to later!)

Where?
We are excited to try out not one, but two resorts that are new to us! We will be doing a split stay with our first night at OLD KEY WEST! (Photo courtesy of Allears.net)
and
The Boardwalk Villas!!!!!!
I am most excited about this resort because of its proximity to the parks and also because, on our trip in '95 at the Yacht Club, we got to see them building it and I have wanted to stay there ever since!and
The Boardwalk Villas!!!!!!
See!!
How?
2 things answer the how question, the first, we're flying there (and this will be the last time we will have to fly there!) Why~ foreshadowing!How?
And the other HOW? We're renting points from a DVC member through the rent/trade boards here on the Dis. I am a little nervous about it, as I have never rented points before and I just want to make sure nothing bad happens, you know??
So, there you go. Your introduction to our exciting trip! Stay tuned for more information, as there are less than 2 MONTHS to go!!!
There will be Dismeet plans, surprises, news, and updates in the coming weeks!
(Also, please bear with me... this is my first ever PTR and I am still learning the ropes!)
