Hello all and welcome to my latest PTR! For those that haven't read any of my TRs or PTRs before, welcome!
Please feel free to reply, I love hearing from everyone as they read along! To get this started let me introduce the players:My actual name is Stephanie, and I live in Pasadena, Maryland. I am an Office Receptionist for a non-profit spay and neuter clinic, and I LOVE my job. I am 30 years old and while I'm single I do have an amazing boyfriend named George, who will be joining me on this WDW trip. I have been to WDW eight times already, and this trip will be my ninth trip and sixth time staying onsite.
George is 26 (will be 27 by the time of the trip) works with me at the same clinic, where he is a vet tech. He is doing college part time too to get his Bachelors in Biology with an emphasis on animal biology. He and I have known each other for a year and been dating for 6 months. He is absolutely the sweetest, funniest and most wonderful man I have ever met.
He has only been to WDW once, when he was 4 years old, with his younger sister and grandparents. While he remembers quite a bit from the trip, especially for how young he was, most of what he remembers is gone now! He is the reason for the title, as one of the most vivid memories he has is being terrified on Alien Encounter. He was joking the other day that if he walks by the building (he knows it is Stitch now) he may have a relapse and PTSD still from the trauma, and I knew the title of our PTR! 
Here are a couple of pictures of he and I:
I don't have any two-legged children (and don't plan on having any!), but I do have 5 furry children. I have a dog, Phoenix, who is a 10 year old Beagle/Belgian Malinois mix. Sadly he was diagnosed with prostate cancer (carcinoma) earlier this month.
This type of cancer is extremely aggressive and there is very little they can do for him. For now he is on a pain medication and an steroid and those two seem to have him feeling good and acting like himself still. The vet who diagnosed it gave him 2-3 months, but I'm hoping for more time since he is my baby. 
And 4 cats:
Jag, a 12 year old Maine Coon/Ragdoll mix. He was a rescue from the local animal control when he was 11 weeks old. He is mister laid back and is good buddies with Phoenix.
Turk, a 12 year DSH. His momma was found, while pregnant, by a woman working in Baltimore who was very allergic to cats. She didn't want her to give birth in the city, so she caught her, brought her home, put her in the basement, and told her husband that he had to care for her and the kittens once they were born
. She gave birth a few days later. I got Turk at 8 weeks, and she had named him that as all the kittens had been named after Disney movies, so I kept it, with a slightly different spelling! 
Jynx, a 9 year old Torti with white. She was found by my parents with 4 of her siblings at around 6 weeks old. Their mom had been hit be a car and passed away. I kept her, my sister Lisa kept one of her sisters and my parents kept one of her brothers. They found homes for the other 2. She's been having some health issues lately, which I may mention from time to time. Over the course of a year she lost half her body weight and we (me and her vet) couldn't figure out what was wrong as her blood tests all came back that she was in perfect health. At the beginning of May I took her in for an ultrasound and found out she has either small cell lymphoma or Irritable Bowel Disease. I couldn't do a biopsy due to both her health (she had little chance of surviving the surgery) and money (it would have cost $3000+). Thankfully the treatment for both is the same medication, so she was put on Prednisone and B12 injections and has already gained back a few pounds and is doing great!
And finally Sweetie. She is an 8-ish year old DSH tabby. I found her when I was living in the boonies, and she adopted me. She went from injured and feral, to healed and sweet as can be in 3 weeks. She is difficult to get pictures of as she never stops moving, but here she is playing, which is her favorite activity!
So now that you met George and I, how about we get this PTR started?
Any questions or comments please let me know! 
And we have the water parks and more option as well so we can take advantage of all of the things under that. Typhoon Lagoon will be closed while we are there, but Blizzard Beach will be open. 
ADRs is usually one of the first things I start working on when I'm planning a trip.
