Dreaming those Disney dreams!! A PTR in the making!!

[annie1995]

Hi everyone! This is my first time doing a PTR, so bare with me here. Let me start by introducing our lovely cast of characters!

Me (Alicia) The planner and major worrier of things going wrong person. You will see why later. I love all things Disney, and enjoy planning as much as actually going. I also started playing around with photography these last 2 trips. Still have a lot to learn though.

My DH (Chris) He just goes along for the ride, and opens his wallet. He really does love going though!

DS ( Brandon 13) Likes almost everything Disney has to offer, especially the food we've taught him well.

DS ( Bradley 10) Also loves everything Disney has to offer. His favorite is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I think he would ride that all day if we'd let him

DS ( Daniel 2) This will he his 3rd trip. We are hoping we can avoid medical care this time around we are very familiar with Florida Centra Care. Will 3rd time be the charm? Lets hope. More on this later

Lets see, details. We are flying in August 27 with a 7 day park hopper ticket. I think we are planning on adding the water park option since none of us have ever been to the water parks. Not quite sure yet. We are staying at POR Riverside this year. I have stayed before in the past, but we have been a Pop family till this trip since Daniel will be 3 and we can no longer fit into a Pop room. We are looking forward to the change of scenery this time around. We also want to go to the beach for a day, although DH isn't too happy about driving on vacation. Its gonna be Clearwater or Cocoa Beach, I'm leaning more toward Cocoa since I have never seen the Atlantic before. Well I guess thats it for now.


Next up, some history and pictures!! Thanks for coming along for the ride

Hi there. Wow, I think its down to 149 days now! I feel strange for not being able to make our ADR's. I did however make a reservation for T-Rex Cafe the afternoon of our arrival. Ok, lets get into some history here. Our first trip to Disney with our youngest son was in 2006. 4 days into our trip, he started runnning this horrible fever. Needless to say, our trip was cut 2 days short with the rest of our kids getting sick. Fast forward to last years trip. This was our Re-do trip from the leave early with 3 sick kids trip. This time they managed to stay healthy, but my 9 year old accidently shut Daniels thumb in the bathroom door jam and smooshed it flat. So that was our second trip to urgent care with one broken thumb. I really really want a doctor free vacation this year. Lets hope we can make it happen!

Here is a pic of my youngest little spud

Here is the whole gang minus my husband and myself

This will be our 3rd year in a row going and we can't wait!! We pretty much have a open schedule for touring the parks hence the park hoppers. I don't like to lock ourselves into just one park. I would love to hear any imput on the water parks. I have no clue on what to expect with Daniel who will be 3 when we go. What can he do at them? I have no clue. Well, I think thats about it for the night. I have a sick kiddo tonight who is requiring my attention. Have a great night!!
