Welcome to our PTR! We're planning a pirate themed birthday trip for our soon to be four year old who is pirate OBSESSED! Join us on the high (land) and seas as we plan a pirate adventure for three!
About us:
Each year we plan a family trip during December, for our son's bday and just to get away. Early December is our go to time for us to plan an all out vacation, and always seems to be decent weather with low crowds wherever we go.
We own a dessert bakery the south and are in the middle of adopting a little girl. It's a long shot but we hope that she's home with us before our big trip. It would be so amazing to have a family trip with our new addition!
Me: 33 years old, working mama who owns a dessert bakery and also takes care of our wonderful DS. I love traveling more than anything, and have been fortunate to be in a position where we can go lots of fun new places!
DH: 35 years old, working daddy who has been my greatest supporter in opening my biz, and shares my desire for travel. He's been to WDW about 5 times, but not since he was a teen.
DS: 3 years old, turning 4 on our big trip! The sweetest boy a mama could have, and took his first international trip to Europe at 2 years old. Also loves to travel and spends his afternoons looking at airplanes in the sky wishing he was on them going somewhere new and adventurous!
BG2B: We're adopting! We're on the waitlist to bring home a little girl, and she may or may not be home by the time our trip comes around. If not, it will be the three of us embarking on our last big trip as a family of three!
How we got to Disney:
I have never been a Disney fan. DH has been trying to get us to go to WDW since DS was born. DS is going to be 4 on 12/8 and I thought, it's time to do WDW.
That was three days ago. I have probably spent about 15 hours in the past three days pouring over the boards and every piece of info I could possibly find. I have suddenly found myself DISNEY OBSESSED! Like seriously losing sleep talking about it to everyone I know can't stop thinking about Mickey ready to put a countdown ticker on my Iphone more excited than our trip to St. Lucia in October for our 5 year anniversary willing to sell my dogs if it gets me extra time there OBSESSED.
I should also add that we are cruising on the Dream and still trying to decide if we should cruise before or after WDW. Right now we're leaning to WDW after, because we feel like the cruise may not be nearly as exciting as the 5 days we plan to spend in the parks.
Our first big decision is where to stay. Every time I think we (okay, I) have made a decision, another great review pops up and the decision gets even harder.
DH has told me that we WILL make a decision tonight, so that will be my next update.

That's awesome, if you remember what park and what place please let me know. I have not run across anything to suggest where I might find a treat like that!!
