In one week and 4 days (according to my brand spanking new ticker) myself, my husband and our 4 year old daughter will be heading off to Wilderness Lodge for a much needed 3 week (oh my goodness) holiday.
We booked the trip last October (the 10th to be exact...ahem...) and it is now so close we can almost taste it...wahey! In preparation for the trip we have been scouring the boards reading reports, looking at food pics (drooling) and generally obsessing about all things Disney.
So, I decided that seeing as though everyone on the boards seem to be like minded souls, I would take my first itty bitty baby steps into the world of report writing. Let's hope it works out ok....
The trip is seriously planned out - soooo exciting - and we really, really can't wait. Is it wrong to admit that by the time we return (and I'm trying not to think about that moment too often) Eloise (DD4) will have spent over a month of her life in Disney of some sort - that's quite a large proportion of mouse-oriented life.... Hopefully that gives an indication of our level of obsession.... It's been good to get onto the DIS and realise we are not alone...
So, it might take a little while for me to get the hang of this report thing, however I'll try to persevere and get a bit better as time goes on. I'm going to leave this post for the moment and try to work out how to add in photos etc. but will try to get going with some proper info and introductions soon.

Look forward to reading all about your plans.

is our second family trip to WDW. Our first was in 2009 under rather different circumstances. In February of 2009, I was diagnosed with cancer and went through rather rigorous operations and radiotherapy. It totally turned our lives upside down (as you might expect) and made us very grateful for all of the time we have (suddenly 33 seemed very young - despite what my DH might say
) Anyway, the upshot of all this was that we decided we needed a holiday and the conversation went a bit like this:

Hopefully my next post will keep you interested.

and also my 2 years of being cancer-free (they don't have a smiley for that....disgraceful
And why not....????
) for breakfast, flight to arrive at Orlando International at around 5pm local time. Check in at Wilderness Lodge then dinner at Roaring Forks perhaps.

Thinking about Gatorland or Boggy Creek Airboats - something swampy basically it would appear... Possibly a pony trek (clearly not in a swamp as I suspect that might be illegal and not so good for the ponies...) as we reckon DD will love it. Anyway the day will end with ADR at Whispering Canyon - yee ha!
with a good mixture of parks and days off. You've got some of my fave places to eat too, have a great time
