Hello and 
to my family's 6th trip to our most happiest place on Earth---Walt Disney World!!!
We have a love (some would say an addiction!) to Walt Disney World. It is the one true place where we can go, enjoy ourselves, leave everything behind, and be truly happy with no worries.
Let me introduce you to my family.
DH (Tom) - I call Tom the workaholic in the family. He works full time for the local sheriff's office and then spends most of his spare time working for our local life squad. He is our son's den leader for Cub Scouts and is also the Cubmaster for our Pack. His love for Disney has grown over the years!
I can remember the first few trips when he threw fits that I wanted to go back but he kindly obliged and he is actually the brain child of this adventure and the many more to come. Tom is a lot like Goofy--never takes things seriously, rolls with the punches, and is always a ton of fun to be around. His favorite resort is Wilderness Lodge and favorite restaurant is O'hanas. His favorite ride is Expedition Everest. I think his favorite park is Epcot.
DS9 (Jeremy) - Jeremy is our one and only child and is the only grandchild on both sides of our family. To say he is spoiled rotten would be an understatement! He loves cub scouts, 4-H and plays piano.
Sadly, he decided he did not want to play baseball anymore this year so I didn't force the issue. He does enough! He is an honor roll student and got accepted to our school's gifted program this year. He is a lot like his Dad and looks a lot like him as well. As you will see further down, he is very tall for his age and often gets mistaken for being much older, plus he is very outgoing and tends to be tooo social at school sometimes. He 
Disney---everything about it! His favorite resort is Wilderness Lodge although he loves the slide at Coronado Springs. His favorite ride is and will always be the train at Magic Kindgom. The boy loves trains! I can't wait until he is old enough to take the Magic Behind the Steam Trains tour. His close to second favorite ride would be Teamboat Springs at Blizzard Beach. His favorite restaurant is Garden Grill for dinner and Chef Mickey's for Breakfast. He is also the reigning Disney Scene It champion in our house! 
No matter what Tom and I do, the child always beats us at this game.
Me (Erika) - I am the accounting and finance manager for a utility company. I have been in this field my entire career and absolutely love it. Where Tom is the workaholic, I am the volunteeraholic. I volunteer on our local hospital board, PTO and help with the administrative side of our cub scout pack. I am the serious one in the family so Tom and I balance each other out very nicely. I am the one with the serious Disney addiction. I am the planner and typically obssess over every little detal. My favorite charater is Daisy Duck. I love the Wilderness Lodge and my favorite restaurant is LeCellier and O'hana's.
This is a family photo from the Pirates and Pals Fireworks Voyage we took on last year's Disney trip. You will find that I don't do many pictures or at least I have not lately. I think I look pregnant in this picture!!!
This will be our 6th trip to Walt Disney World in 6 years! Yes, we have been once every year since our first magical trip. You can read about the other trips in my Pre-Trip from last year. However, last years trip never got turned into a full trip report so I will do a trip report in this years Pre-trip report to keep it interesting. A lot happened right before and after that trip that kept me off the DIS.
So, I hope you will join me on this fabulous planning adventure. I will need help along the way as I still have a few dining ressies to make and some adventures I would like to plan this time!

When are we going?
What big plunge did we take?
Why will there be less of me?

We also have been every year since 2006 & also went in 1999 & 2004.
He sounds like a wonderful kid that deserves those Disney trips every year right???
Hi-de-ho from cool, rainy Tennessee.
Yay, MeMom is here! I am so glad you are joining in for the fun! 
Really put me a gloomy mood! I am so sick of the stuff!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It worked.
(of course, Jeremy would go with us). We have only been once on vacation by ourselves and was miserable the entire time without Jeremy so we knew that whatever we decided, he would be along for the celebration. After much debate, Tom caved and agreed to go to New York Thanksgiving week 2011 for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. This has been a dream of mine forever so what a better way to celebrate 10 years. 
So, we booked 5 nights in Florida at another vacation club where we own for Spring Break. It was going to be 2 nights in Daytona and 3 nights in Orlando--off Disney property! 
). Jeremy has had perfect attendance all year and really wanted to keep his record so we agreed to not go to Florida on Spring Break.
