Wow...the first line seems to be the hardest :headache: .......I guess I will just jump right in and try to work some magic! Everyone else makes it look so easy, I just hope I do not crash and burn.....buckle up folks, this could get a little bumpy! :scared:

Hi, I am Stephanie :) and I have only recently been infected with the disease known as Disney Fever and will be checking myself into the proper facilities seeking treatment under the Free Dining Program this September. Can POP be the cure? Will I regret not going Deluxe on this 3rd attempt at some Disney relief?? I have no doubts but it makes for good drama right??? popcorn::

This is where you will find me TOO much of the time :surfweb: ...... I am newly 37 years old, a wife of 10 years and a mother of 2 great girls!

This is me hang'n out in Canada!

I am married to Bob. Say hi Bob:

HI!

I wish I could gush about how much Bob loves Disney but alas.....he is imune to the magic and charm that turns the rest of his family into mush. Bob tolerates Disney because I tolerate his Browns season tickets as well as his love of boating! See, this Marriage thing really works when there is compromise :rotfl:

Our first daughter is Tatum , aka Tate, aka Tator Tot, aka TT (with all these aliases she is set for her life of crime :angel: )
Say Hi Tatum:

HI!
She is 8.5 and ready to lead the world. She has ideas about everything and shares them with anyone that will listen. Princesses are nice and she enjoys all the characters but I think she really just GETS DISNEY...the family time, the adventure, the FOOD....she just gets it! :worship:

Then, bringing up the rear is our little Helen....or as I call her Helly Belly! :flower3:
Say Hi Helen:

HI!
She is crazy....no really, she is 7 years old and just plain crazy...:yay: ...she loves life, has enough energy to power the sun as well as a smile to warm your heart! aawwwwhhhh! but just do not ask her to sit still....that is her ultimate deal breaker.....but who sits still at Disney?? Disney + Helen = Perfect!

Well, that is me and my fam..:grouphug: ...I always like to "see" who I am reading about so I thought that would be the best way to start. I will be back to explain my Tag Line a little more and introduce you to the rest of the group joining us in September....but I do have to ask you to keep it on the LOW DOWN because Tate and Helly Belly have NO IDEA that we are going again...yeah,
IT's A SECRET!!!!!!!!


(PS...please excuse my poor spelling and possible bad grammar...remember I am 37 and that means almost 20 years post formal education! ;) )
 
Ok.....about my title..... Deluxe, Deluxe, GOOSE!

I am a late Disney Bloomer....went once when I was a kid (2 I believe) and then again in 1995 but it was a quick trip that I cannot say much about other than I thought it was a "nice" place :rolleyes1 but had better places to spend my single, adult life. (yeah, I know...it just was not my time young grass hopper) So jump 12 years into the NOW with a Hubby and 2 girls itch'n to meet some Princesses and we decide on a whim in NOV 2006 that we will visit Disney World in January 2007....:rotfl:

We had no idea what we were doing but being the :surfweb: that I am, I was lucky to find Dis Boards :worship:
I did some fast looking around and decided Animal Kingdom looked fun...Oh and it did not hurt that it was a deluxe hotel...BOOKED IT! Thought it will be a once in a long while trip so make it good.
We had savannah view, added the dining plan, confirmed on ME and are happy little clan of 4 was good to go.
We had an awesome time. The AKL was love at first site and so was the view. We were drowning in Disney Magic and disconnected from the real world for 10 glorious days....I was hooked :fish:

Interesting post. Took me a minute to follow but that is probalby just me.

Great start and love the pictures! I hope to stay at AKL on a later trip. Hope your family has a great time. What a big surprise for the girls!
 

Great start! :thumbsup2 The pictures of the AKL are beautiful. Good luck with keeping the secret. I would love to be surprised with a trip to WDW! :goodvibes
