Hello and 
to my first PTR!! My name is Allen and I am a relative noob to both the Dis and Disney World in general. That said, I have spent plenty of time lurking and planning so I think I have a fair grasp of the task at hand! 
I hope you join me on this step-by-step journey through our Disney planning process!
I promise to be glib, sarcastic, self-deprecating, boastful, humble, proud, excited, and full of shame, sweet, sweet shame I will try to make these posts as full of pictures as possible so as not to subject you to too much of my inane prattling.
Most importantly, I promise at least one update per week, with a goal of two, and regular replies to any comments or questions. If I fail to keep these promises I encourage you to take whatever measures you deem necessary: ban me form the boards, shun me in public settings, force me to read endless threads about strollers, ECVs, resort mugs, and when the new fantasyland attractions will be open. Whatever the punishment, I will accept it with grace and dignity (or anger and man tears, its hard to know for sure).
When all is said and done, I hope to make a few people laugh, create some new Disney friendships, and above all else, use your knowledge and advise to make our trip amazing! Never forget, this is all about me! One last note before you begin this journey, keep in mind that this is a MANs PTR, so expect healthy doses of both graphic violence and nudity.
Quick Overview:
When: 11/1/2012-11/10/2012
Where: Port Orleans- Riverside
Who: Me, DW, DD4, DS1, My Mom, and My Sister
Goal: A broad trip including all the major attractions, most of the minor attractions, MNSSHP, and MVMCP
Without further ado, may I introduce our cast of characters

We are 12 years apart, but I cant imagine two siblings being much closer than we are. We love doing Black Friday together. She generally likes all things Disney and while she is not much into planning, she is excited that someone is making a plan for her. For the record, she is clearly the 2nd favorite child. 
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. 
is the best option. Since none of has a vehicle fit for 6 we will be swapping cars with my friend Brent. 
Has anyone stayed here with 4 adults, a child, and a toddler? I know we will be tripping over each other, be we are a close knit bunch and don’t plan to spend a lot of time in the room. 
for not posting one of Gwens better pictures in her introduction. She is quite the little beauty and usually does not look like the goon I presented. She usually reserved the goony looks for when I want to take her picture. So to appease DW, here are a couple of pictures of Gwen looking a bit more like her normal, beautiful self.
: Why did we choose 11/1-11/10 as our dates?
(Side note: We had nine decorated trees in our house this year-a Family tree, a Disney tree, a Star Wars tree, a Super Hero Tree, 2 Simpsons trees, a Sports Tree, a Big Hello Kitty tree, and a small Hello Kitty tree.)
secure in the knowledge of what led to our decision on dates.
Your kids are absolutely adorable! I'm sure they will have a great time on your trip. That's pretty awesome that you are catching both Halloween and Christmas at WDW. We have experienced both, and just LOVED the Christmas happenings so much. 
Please accept this tiny fake flower as a token of my appreciation!
