A newbie, a nana, two princess, and......the Planner! (Updated 1/4--DTD & head home)

[disneymom1980]

Ok, I was PRODUCTIVE during DD #2's nap this morning. I now have ALL the transfers for our shirts printed. I have to wash the blue and black shirts yet, and then they'll be all ready to go ! Hopefully my mom and I can get them all ironed on tomorrow and I can post pictures!

Today I called 1900 Park Fare because I wanted to order something special for DD #1. I honestly couldn't decide between the mini castle cake and the slipper dessert. When I showed them to DD (a long time ago so that she'd forget about it), she said she like the slipper dessert. However, DH said that he liked the mini castle cake better................

SO, crazy woman that I am, I just ordered both of them . I figure, we have two DDs, so we can have two surprises. If we don't want to eat it all, we'll just take it along. Dh is going to think I'm nuts, but that's nothing new!

My oldest daughter's favorite people in the world are her great grandparents. They spoil her rotten (much to my dismay somtimes). She was the first grandchild and the first great grandchild for my side of the family. We're very lucky in that everyone lives within just a few miles of each other. I truly believe that it takes a village to raise a child, and it's wonderful for my girls to be able to have those influences in their lives.

Great PTR. My family also has a wonderful Nana. My DM is also MY DD3's favorite person in the world. We are having a girls only Disney trip Oct 23-30. Yeah we are in single digits. I hope you and your family have a great time!

I do feel really lucky to have such a great mom and a great Nana for my girls. It has been just me and my mom since I was about a year old, and she did more for me than I could ever ask, and now she does for my daughters as well. I feel lucky that we can afford to take her along with us so that she can share in the magic.

We are definitely excited, and thanks for the comments about my DDs. I agree, but I'm a little partial . We'll take all the pixie dust we can get!

I'm pretty sure the castle cake is $25, but we'll see for sure when I get the bill. I just wanted to do something really special, and, even though she said she liked it better, I'm not sure DD will eat the slipper. She's not really a fan of white chocolate. I guess we'll see, but I got the castle cake in chocolate.

Thank you for the well wishes........I hope you enjoy my trip report as much as I've enjoyed yours ! I honestly can't wait to write it.

Ok, you guys are not going to believe this...........this morning we ended up at the clinic (better than the ER, but still bad). Both DDs were up all night last night, and DD #1 has a raging ear infection in both ears! I decided that I was going to have them check out both DDs since we were there, and it turns out that DD #2 has an ear infection too. Both of them are now on antibiotics and DD #1 is on a steroid nasal spray. I just hope they are both better by Monday.........DD #1 is incredibly miserable .

 

[ThePin Princess]

Sorry to hear about the double ear infections, it took me a while but i finally caught up, hope your having a great time in disney!!

 

[disneymom1980]

Hi everoyone! We made it back, and we had a GREAT time!!! I should be ready to start my trip report in a day or two......if I can figure out how. Any tips on how I go about closing this thread and starting the actual trip report would be appreciated .

 

[ThePin Princess]

glad to hear you back and ever thing went well. Sorry i can't be any help when it comes to closing this and starting an actual trip report, i think that you can message a moderator and they can just transfer this PTR to th TR section but can't wait to hear about every thing!!!

 

[disneymom1980]

Well, I'm going to try to start my trip report.........hopefully I can figure out how to do this. Some of you may have read my trip report, which can be found here Pre-trip report.

This was our first trip as a family as well as my DH and DDs' first trip. We had a great time, and I can't wait to share about it with all of you. There's lot of pictures too .

I just read your pre-trippie, and I'm joining in for the trip report! I can't wait to read about your trip!

Hi.........glad to have you here! I just got the first set of pictures uploaded, and I'm ready to get started.

 

[disneymom1980]

Ok, I'm going to start off with some basic information in case someone didn't read my pre-trip report. Our travel party includes:

Me (Tristin)........This is my third trip to Disney, and I'm a little obsessed . I did all the planning, ADRS, etc.

DH (Adam).........This is his first trip to Disney, and our first vacation as a family. We've been married 6 and a half years. His family never really took vacations, and he definitely does not understand my love for Disney......at least not yet!

DD #1 (Anna)........My 5 year old princess. She loves everything princess or girly, in fact it's what her room is decorated in. I would have said prior to this trip that she's pretty passive and not much of a thrill seeker, but she kind of changed my mind at Disney .

DD #2 (Addyson....usually known as Addy)........Our 14 month old sweetheart. She is very independent and opinionated........if she doesn't like something, you're going to know about it. Turns out characters would be one of those things, but we'll get to that later.

And, last but certainly not least, my mom (known as Nana).......my mom pretty much raised me by herself from the time I was a year old. She's wonderful and is a huge help with my little girls. I hope that I can do as good a job with them as she did, by herself, when I was growing up. This trip was supposed to partly be a "thank you" for everything she does for us.

Our trip was October 20-27, and we stayed at Port Orleans Riverside.
