A Birthday ruined by 4 Princesses! 9/30-10/8

[crissy1974]

Just back from a wonderful 9 day stay at the World (despite the title of my trip report).

I have done 2 pre trip reports, but this is my first completed trip report. I'm a little excited, yet nervous. We'll see how it turns out!

Here is the link for my PTR for this trip: http://www.disboards.com/search.php?searchid=13690861

DISNEYSIS2 and BAMA MOM to 3. Thanks for joining!

I am really excited to be doing this trip report. I'm sure it will take me a little bit of time, but hopefully it will be filled with fun reading!

First.........................I'll quickly introduce our family for those that have not read the PTR. (promise to load pictures at a later time).

There is me! I am the planner of the trip and I love all things Disney!

Next is my boyfriend (BF) of almost 14 years and the father to our DD5. It is because of him that we decided to go to Disney again this year for vacation!

Last, but definitely not least, there is our beautiful Princess . She was the reason why we picked these dates. We celebrated her 5th birthday while on property. She said it was the "BESTEST BIRTHDAY EVER" (again despite the title).

Stay tuned for lot's of dining reviews. We always do Deluxe Dining........ugh......gained 7 lbs this trip!

We also did a lot of firsts this trip. Stuff you probably might not think of doing while at Disney!

Our DD started Kindergarten this year, so I felt bad taking her out of school for 7 full days so I decided to send her for a 1/2 day on our travel day. I also figured it would give me time to get some last minute stuff done (in peace). This was a HUGE mistake. It made me feel so rushed. My Aunt lives near the airport so we always drive to her house and she goes w/ us to the airport and then takes my car back to her house. Well, she originally wanted us at her house earlier due to her work schedule. We would have had to sit at the airport for 4 hours before our flight. YUCK. She ended up calling me to let me know my Uncle was off work (due to pouring rain) and he would take us so no need to rush. Thank God. I felt much better at this point and not so rushed.

We picked up Gabby, picked up my Uncle and off to the airport. It was a pretty uneventful trip to the airport (despite the downpour). It was sooooooooo windy and raining so heavy that I was worried about delays. Luckily everything was on time. We got to the airport and had some lunch. Soon after it was time to board.

We were the first to get called on the plane. Due to a problem with our original plans I was able to get us business class seats. This was VERY NICE! Nice big cushy seats with extra leg room. It would be nice to have business class again, but I can't see paying the extra money! If it's FREE, we'll take it!

We got to MCO on time with no problems. Headed downstairs to the ME. We only waited on the bus for about 15 minutes and off we went. It wasn't long and we were rolling in under the Disney sign (which I always miss and NEVER get a picture of). We had a few stops before POFQ, but in no time at all we were there!
