A skeptical family of First-Timers take on WDW Nov 15-22** NOV 28 update

Just saw this thread for the first time. I got hooked reading it and I'm about to be late for work! I'm soooo excited for you. We stayed at the Poly. once and loved it. It is my favorite resort, probably won't ever be able to afford to stay there again so we make do with visiting whenever we go to WDW- and thats okay. Hope you have a great trip and hubbie gets a little of the magic. Looking forward to your TR.
 
I've been following along and can't wait to hear about your trip when you get back. I hope you guys are having the time of your lives!!!1
 
You're there! So exciting! :woohoo:

Hope you're all having a great time and can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

Safe travels :goodvibes
 

Real quick update. Made it without hitch. Got requested room facing volcano pool:) Allison is like me and appreciates all the Disney detail! Ian is losing his mind with excitement. David loves Poly and drinks on beach but doesn't seem to b blown away by MK (only park we did so far). Not worried though since I predict he's more of an EP or AK kind of guy anyway.

Glad you made it safely...and it sounds like those skeptics of yours have already been transformed!
 
Hey everybody!! I'm sitting in laundry room this a.m. Everybody tuckered and still sleeping.
Having loads of fun! So far did MK and HS. Tag along friends no problem. Whew!
Poly gorgeous. Weather perfect. Low crowds. Everything walk on but Peter pan and toy story. Don't even need FP.
Kids say everything they do is their fave! David perked up a little at HS and seemed to like that much better than MK. He's still not feeling "magic" but said the alcoholic drinks r great here and the more he drinks the better chance of feeling magic. Sci Fi was great. Luau was good too.
 
Sitting @CBR reading your post from the Poly. Ain't technology grand. Glad to hear all is going well! See you soon...maybe.

Oh I'm so glad y'all are having a wonderful time. Even if the drinks are all David likes - at least he is loving those! Keep having a great time and don't worry about us! We'll be here when you get back. Thanks for the update.

Laundry...yuck (but I know that will be part of my trip too...thank goodness the villas have washer/dryers)!

So great about the low crowd levels...keep giving David some more of those drinks...by the time you leave he will feel the magic...:rotfl: I am so glad that your kids are feeling the magic...that gives me hope for my 2 oldest!

I just stumbled across your pre trip planing reports and am having so much fun reading! I have been a FL resident almost my entire life and am spoiled getting to go to WDW all the time. Usually our trips are quicker 3 day trips because we can go so much. However it's been a long time since I've been for a week or more. My 11 year old daughter has never been for that long. It's also been over a year since we were there at all. So... I decided to save like crazy and go this November for a week! I'm loving seeing Disney again through your eyes. I love Disney sooooo much and it's awesome to see someone experiencing it all for the first time. I can't stop reading all your posts! I'm off to read the actual trip report now... :)
