Hello everyone! I am back from a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S trip to heaven...err I mean Walt Disney World! This was by far the BEST trip I have ever been on. So here are the facts:
Who? Me (mommy), Madison (DD who turned 3 on our trip), My mom (granny), and My dad (Granddaddy)
Where? Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort
When? Sept 17-25
Why? to celebrate Madison's 3rd birthday!
So, without further ado, lets get this thing STARTED!
DAY 1- Departure day!
So we got up at about 3am on Friday, September 17th. Its about a 9 hour drive from NC to WDW. This is without stops. For my always needing to pee family it took us about 11 (lol) DD and I took off the last Mickey on our countdown calendar! She proceeded to say (in that sweet little innocent voice with the lisp) Mommy its the green one, we are going to Disney World!
We loaded up, and jumped into the SUV! Madison was crazy excited. We popped in Mickey's Mouse Clubhouse in Wonderland DVD and hit the road! Even though it was 4 am and she didn't go to bed until 10 Madison was WIDE awake with excitement!

About 5am Madison alerted us that she needed to "pee pee". I told her that we were in the middle of nowhere and she had a pull-up on so just this once it was ok for her to peepee in it because there was no bathroom. She refused. So my dad told her that he would pull over and let her pee on the ground if she wanted to, since she was so against using her pull-up. She said that was fine. Well, we pull over and there is NO ONE around. Perfect timing. I explain to her that I will pull her pullup down and she can squat and pee on the dirt. Her response? "NO! I need a POTTY!" Well that was a no go. So we get back into the car. After about 30 minutes of her holding it and whining I finally coax her into using her pull-up. Please don't think I am a horrible parent. There really was nowhere to stop for her because it was still early and the places we did go by were closed.
After that, the ride was uneventful. Stopping to use the restroom every hour it seemed. Had a wonderful breakfast at IHOP. By about 3:30pm we arrived at the beautiful Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort!!
Stay tuned for what happens next! What section did we get? Was it a horrible walk to OPR or did we get lucky? How was the room?!
