THIS TRIP HAS BEEN CANCELED, YOU CAN FOLLOW MY NEW REPORT HERE

May 2011 - Flowers and Star Wars and Harry, oh my!

Hey there Disers! That's right, I am back for another PTR/TR adventure! What is the trip this time? Well a 5-night Double-dip cruise on the new Disney Dream of course!

That is not all though! We have a big two week family trip planned for 2012 and this PTR may actually turn into a PTR for that trip. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that both trips will pan out. I'll be looking to all of you to help me plan these two trips and along the way I will share mini-reports about our non-Disney travels. ;)

Going on the 2011 trip on the Disney Dream will be myself, Lessa, and my mom, Beth.

I booked the cruise the first day it opened for general bookings in order to secure the lowest price. Since I am a full-time Nursing student it is not 100% that the cruise trip will actually happen but the 2012 WDW trip is a definite go.

The 2012 trip will include all of the family. That's right! The Brothers Grimm are returning to WDW! You all know what that means! ;)

A little about my family:

Lessa (that's me!) - I am 26 years old and I have just gone back to school to get my second degree, this time in Nursing. My first degree is in English Lit and Classical Studies so this new course of study is a totally different direction for me. I am loving it though! I joke with my friends that I will be the most educated and well-rounded nurse out there. While tending to my patients and their medical needs I can also discuss ancient history or literature with them, improving their bodies and their minds. :laughing: I am a total Disney addict and I love reading and writing trip reports. I wrote my first one back in 2007 and I have been hooked ever since!

Next is Mom, Beth, 47 - She is very hard-working and always deserves her vacations. She is almost as big a Disney nut as I am. Of course I can thank her for the Disney gene, I was raised on the stuff! She loves to travel and she loves to meet new people, she has never met a stranger. ;)

Alek (24) - The middle child. He has a big personality and likes to be the life of the party. He is not shy and will often perform outrageous and hilarious stunts. His favourite partner in crime is our baby brother Erich.

Erich (21) - Erich is the baby of the family. He and Alek are a fearsome duo and are sure to provide tons of laughs and of course tons of frustration for their sister and mother. ;)

Woohoo, I'm first!

Can't wait to hear about your PTR for the Dream! :cool1:

That photo of your brothers fighting on the rock is SO COOL! Where is that? Vancouver?

Also, I'm trying to guess where those photos of places are from.....I recognize that old building. And tulips? I know Ottawa has a tulip festival...

The rock fighting photo was taken on top of BlueNose Mountain in the Okanagan Valley, BC.

The second photo is of Eva Lake in Revelstoke National Park, BC.

The third is from Boldt Castle in the Thousand Islands.

And then the last two are from Ottawa. The first was taken from the Rideau parkway looking over the Ottawa River into Quebec and the second one is from the Tulip Festival! :thumbsup2


Whooo Hooo 2nd!!!

Hey Mary! You found me and I hadn't even posted the link yet! :laughing:

Yay! I was close with the fighting photo. Was in the same province! :rotfl:

And I had a feeling that castle was from Thousand Islands, cause I have photos of it too!:thumbsup2

And yay, I was spot on for the last picture! :cool1:

I made Page 1 !!!!! You know I am in for this !!!!
I knew you wouldn't want to miss out on any of the antics of the Brothers Grimm.
 
Count me in. I loved your last trip report and can not wait to hear what comes next.
 
Hi, Lessa! I'm here...just finished reading the final post over on the other TR, so of course I had to make my way over here!:surfweb: I can't wait for this report, and I surely hope that the Dream trip pans out for you!
 
I wonder who gave them that name :rolleyes1:rotfl2:

Gosh, I don't know, could it have been a lovely American Brit named Rosalie? ;)

okay here now!!!!!

:woohoo:

Mind if I join along?? :goodvibes

Of course not! Welcome! The more the merrier!

Count me in. I loved your last trip report and can not wait to hear what comes next.

Thanks you and I am so glad you decided to come join in on this new adventure with me. :goodvibes

I hope so too, the pictures on the DCL picture of the day thread sure will make it hard for me to cancel if that ends up being the route we go. :rotfl:
