Welcome readers to my PTR for my May WDW and Disney Cruise Line Vacation. :beach: Once the actual trip report gets started I will have an index at the bottom of this post and each installment will have a link to the next part for easy reading. I do this as my TR's tend to get rather lengthy and I know not everybody wants to scroll through all the comments and chat trying to get to the actual reporting. =)

The basic details:

When: May 16th -May 30th

Where: One week at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and then a week onboard the beautiful Disney Magic.

Who: Me, Lessa. I am 25 and a complete Disney addict. I have always loved Disney but my love became an obsession back when I started to plan my families 2007 WDW trip. Ever since then I have been a goner.

Here is the most recent picture of me that I could find, taken back in December displaying the lovely Disney pin I got in a Secret Santa exchange.

Mom aka Beth - She also loves WDW although she is not nearly as obsessed as I am. She lets me take full control of all the planning and pretty much goes along with whatever I decide.

Sadly my brothers, Alek and Erich, will not be joining us on this trip. I know you all must be terribly disappointed. They had absolutely no desire to go on a cruise so they are staying home. That means it will be up to me to provide the humour for this report all on my own. :scared: Am I up to the challenge? I guess you will have to wait and see. ;) And just what sort of trouble will the two of them get up to while we are out of town?

A lot of you are probably already familiar with me and my family but if you aren't why not check out my two previous trip reports? ;)

July 2007 - Our Funfilled Action-Packed Trip to Disney over the Fourth of July

August 2008 - The Silly and Mischievous Adventures of Four Crazy Canucks

The one thing I can guarantee all my readers is that this report will have a LOT of photos and lots of detail. I am addicted to photography, our last trip we came home with over 3000 pictures.

So please don't be afraid to post and say hello. I respond to every post and I love to hear feedback and comments from my readers.
 

I think this is the first PTR/TR of yours that I'll actually be a part of here on the Dis. ;)

Yeah, no football for me either. The only football I ever watch/go to is my universities games.

Yay, another report from Lessa! :woohoo: I just read the final thoughts from your last report and was psyched to see that you already started this one. Have you done a Disney cruise before? You and your mom are gonna have so much FUN!!

Nope never been on a Disney cruise before, in fact this is our first cruise ever! :goodvibes
 
We are also going in May. Did a Disney Cruise in May of 08-loved it! Actually rebooked on board for Nov of 09 but had to cancel due to $$$. You will have a fabulous time! Yay for lots of pics!
 
I'm here:cheer2:

Looking forward to hearing about the cruise. Trying to talk Jim into one when Jimmy is a bit older. (When I would feel comfotable leaving him in one of those kids clubs;) )

That is too bad you had to cancel the Nov cruise. At least you are going to WDW in May, looks like we will be there the same time. :thumbsup2

I have heard great things about the kids clubs, lots of parents in the TR's I have read said that they can't pry their kids away from them. ;)
