I cannot believe I am doing a pre-trip report. I have not been to Disney World since I was seven years old. My parents took me when I was three and then took me back when my sister was three and I was seven. I remember little things about going, but it has been twenty years and I have three children so my memories are foggy. I am very excited to be planning this SECRET trip for our family of five.
Well, here are the stars of this show:
Me, DH, two wild boys, and a baby girl.
First there is me- Nicole. I am a 26 year old stay at home mom to all three kiddos. I am a Disney FANatic and have been for my entire life. I watch Disney movies more than the average six year old I a more than certain. My iPod has a Disney playlist and I know every word to every song. There is just something about what Walt Disney has managed to create. I believe in the magic, as cheesy as it sounds! HA!
I love reading and crafting also. I also love to blog but rarely find the time. Especially since school has been out for the summer. I love Jesus and living in the south. I am the planner of the family and slightly OCD. I keep us in check. 
This is DH- Cag. He is an extremely hard working man and I am very thankful to have him. He busts his tail for us so that my kids can have their mom at home to raise them. He is a Disney World virgin. He honestly had no desire to ever visit. Says it is expensive and that we could go to Six Flags. He is so clueless...
I am VERY certain that this trip is going to make him hooked and we WILL be back. He is a sucker for seeing his kids faces light up, hehe
He is a football nut and loves to coach the boys baseball teams. Also plays golf in his down time.
This is DS (11)- Blake. Blake is my stepson but is my first baby! DH has always had full custody and he does not have contact with his mother anymore (her choice apparently)
He is just as much mine as the children I gave birth to and I love him dearly. He is an exceptional baseball player. Kid has an arm. He also loves to hunt with my daddy. He loves his video games and has always been into Star Wars. He is starting middle school in about two weeks...
This is my baby boy DS (5)- Lucas. He is the light of my life. The most upbeat, happy, and sweet child ever. He is very easy going and just likes to giggle. He laughs at anything and everything. He is also a baseball player, he is in t-ball currently). He, along with his older brother, will be starting fall ball in a few weeks. He has the biggest imagination I have ever seen. He could play with a toilet paper roll for an entire day and not get bored. He loves Disney Channell and Disney Jr. His favorite Disney movie is the Toy Story trilogy (although Tangled may be a close second... don't tell his daddy- hehe). He was nuts for it until he discovered Monter trucks. Now he just loves all things Disney like his mama. He is starting kindergarten in about two weeks...
This is our sweet baby girl (11 months) Paisley- She is definitely just that- all GIRL. She is a princess and has been since the day she came into the world. She loves things her way and is not afraid to let you know it. She is a prissy little thing and loves to watch Disney movies in the car. This is manily due to the fact that I turn them on because she hates to be buckled in her seat. She hates to be contained period. She likes to roam free as much as possible, which is so funny because until she could crawl she wouldn't let me put her down. Not. At. All. She is trying so hard to walk. Her record is at seven straight steps now. We are in the process of planning her first birthday party which will be Alice in Wonderland themed.
On to the vacation. The first and major thing is that it is a total secret. The kids have no idea we are going. We fully intend on keeping it a secret until it is time to get into the car and head to Orlando. I still am completely unsure on how I am breaking the news. Suggestions??
I have been busy at night planning this trip. I am trying hard not to overplan things. It is our first trip and they are small so I want them to be able to go with the flow and enjoy of course. I have planned one ADR and that is for a character lunch at the Tusker House on our Animal Kingdom day. I tried to get Chef Mickeys but I am a rookie and didn't do it soon enough.
I also would really love for the boys to do the Pirates League since we will be attending MNSSHP! I am more excited for this night than anything else that trip. I love Halloween and to go to Disney with all the fall decor and Halloween festivities taking place makes my year!
We originally booked the Allstar Movie Resort, but changed as soon as we found out that Art of Animation would be opening the standard room section only a week before our trip. Little Mermaid room, here we come!
I am very into crafting and have several things planned to make for this trip. I have been clearance shopping Disney items to minimize on souveneir costs. I also plan on making some matching shirts for us and the kids autograph books. I will post these as soon as I begin. Right now I am in birthday party mode too so I have a million things going on!
I am so excited and cannot wait until fall break! Mickey better be ready come September!
