Pre-trip report
Hello everybody, Welcome to my PTR!
I did have a previous PTR on the board, but life got in the way of those plans, so we have had to start again from scratch.
Who:
Me: My name is Vicky, Im 25 (26 when we travel) , I am a full
time carer for my DH, although I have done many jobs from mucking out stables , to cooking and waitressing.
This is me and DH at my 25th birthday meal, last September
Favourite Ride: I love Expedition Everest, I could ride it all day and not get bored , but I also LOVE Tower of Terror , so its a tie between both of those.
Favourite Character: Belle , without doubt , I love Beauty and the Beast , I even purchased a massive standee from my local cinema which take up about half of my lounge ( much to DHs horror when I arrived at the front door with it)
Favourite Movie: Beauty and the Beast
DH: My husbands name is Adam we met when we were 12 on a school trip to Germany . we were boyfriend and girlfriend for a while but split up and we got back together when we were 17 and 18 ( Im older and wiser lol) . DH has cerebral palsy, and is quadriplegic , he has to use a wheelchair all of the time, and I am his full time carer.
Favourite Ride: Big Thunder Mountain ( he cannot ride this anymore as we cannot lift him) or Toy Story Midway Mania
Favourite Character: Jiminy Cricket
Favourite Movie: Jungle Book
Thom: Thom is DH's other carer , He'll come in to give me a break, he has been in our life since we were in school , he looked after Adam in class, and after we left came to do some work for Adam taking him out and about so he wasn't stuck with his parents all the time .
Favourite Ride:
Favourite Character : Ariel
Favourite Movie: Little Mermaid
This is a photo of the three of us on our first day in Florida in 2011, This was DH and I's , Honeymoon!
Although it may not seem like the ideal romantic honeymoon , I definitely needed Thom there to help with Adam , any sort of care needs an extra pair of hands especially when away from home and with an unfamiliar routine.
Where:
Again we have to discuss the but Im in love with Saratoga Springs at the moment, I like its proximity to Downtown Disney , and the layout of the suites.
I also like Old Key west , but if money was no object Id love to stay at Bay Lake Tower ,
Last time we were in the world we were staying off site and were relying on taxis to get back to our condo, we arranged with our driver to pick us up from the Contemporary a few times, we loved how easy it was to walk to Magic Kingdom .
Although I would be happy to sleep in a cupboard just to be on property and that little bit closer to the parks.
We will be staying in a 1 bedroom suite with myself and Adam in the master , and poor Thom is relegated to the sofa bed .
I hope you enjoy coming along with us on our journey.
