I am a Disney nut have been since I was little, dh and I had a Disney themed wedding and then went to WDW for our honeymoon in 1999. We had no clue about making reservations before hand but was lucky enough to get squeezed into Cindy's castle for dinner, where we were given wine glasses and other special little gifts, I was in heaven.

We have been to Disney world Two other times, once when dh had to go to NASA for work, that was our first experience with MNSSHP. Although we were kidless then, and then a second time we went because a little extra money fell into our laps and we decided to take a little disney trip, what better way to spend oor money. Right after we booked this trip I found out I was pg. boy was I on cloud nine, we had been trying for 5 years and I just decided that we would come home with a little souviner, but finding out I already had a bun in the oven made me over joyed. Disney world and a baby!

When Liberty was 22 months we had plan to meet the group of ladies that helped me out with my first pregnancy and became my friends for life at DL., and low and behold we found out we were expecting baby # 2. I liked the way this pattern was going.
Liberty was instantly a disney fan. She loved all the princesses and all the characters, the only character she wouldn't see was The Beast, and well who can blame her. lol

Seeing how much fun Liberty was having at DL I had decided that we would go back to either DL or WDW when Teyla was around the same age, now here's where our little pattern gets messed up, when Teyla was 15 months we found out that we were expecting and boy was it a surprise, one that we were excited about, but were not expecting, for one we hadn't planned our disney trip yet.lol With our 3rd one on the way Te te's trip was postponed, we had to buy a house and a new vehicle, I had a little saturn, no way were we all going to fit into that size of a car. So when I realized Teyla wouldn't be getting to go, I decided right then and there that we would go when Landon turned 22months and we would celebrate Teyla's 3rd birthday there, and here we are today, a month away from our Birthday celebration.

So it's a month and 4 days until our trip. My kids are truly getting excited. We have been doing the countdown chain and they almost can't contain themselves now everytime they tear it off.

I of course have all of our ADR's and some what of a schedule. With three kids I kinda wanted to go with the flow as much as I could. I have made them their autograph books, tomorrow I need to get the pages put in them.

I'm starting a packing list and hope to be organized in that area by the end of the week.
