Great post! I'm looking forward to seeing so many dis'ers during our trip!

Our cast of characters:
Me (will have just celebrated the 2nd anniversary of my 25th birthday before we go, SO EXCITED to go to WDW for the first time!)
DH (28, happy to have a vacation but not overly excited about WDW)
DD (will be 9, VERY EXCITED but does not want to see the princesses )
DS (will by 6, not excited at all - says if he doesn't have $1000 to spend he will let his aunt go in his place - he's so funny!)

This is the first trip for all of us and the kids first airplane trip too! I love travelling and am so excited to FINALLY be able to take the kids to Disney! I am a little disappointed that my daughter has outgrown the princesses and my son isn't excited, but they have been diligently earning their disney dollars so I think the excitement is starting to increase.

I will post our itinerary soon as it would be awesome to bump into many of you!

Oh, we are going 9/24 - 10/1 and attending MNSSHP on the 29th.

Hi Everyone! We will be at POP Sept. 30- Oct. 8. It will be me (35), Dh (37) our four kids (listed in my signature) My dad (58), My sister (31), my uncle (39) and my grandmother (78).
My husbands' best friend, his two daughters, his wife, and his step daughter will all be there too! Talk about a grand gathering!
I will be the one with the three guys drinking Margaritas. I'll be drinking the Pina Colada and actually doing laundry.

 

[WeluvDisney2]

We're staying in Hyannis and the competition is at the rink in Bourne.

Hi Chris My kids have skated at Gallo! Have a great time!

 

[BriansPyxie042]

I am a little disappointed that my daughter has outgrown the princesses and my son isn't excited, but they have been diligently earning their disney dollars so I think the excitement is starting to increase.

Our DD, who will be 6 in December, has almost outgrown the princesses. She's really into pirates now, and has decided that for MNSSHP she wants to be Elizabeth Swann-Turner. (She originally wanted to be Jack Sparrow, she such a tom-boy ) And, it's all about the thrill rides at the parks now. Which is fine with me because my DH is such a "bock-bock"

he won't ride anything.

Anyway, here's our schedule:

9/30- Check-in around noon, hopefully
Boatwright's ~ 6:15
DH & DD off to the pool, me off to bed (after having been up for over
24 hours & driving for 14 I'll be running on pure Disney magic by then)

[BTown]

Hey, it has been a while. Let's see... favorite land in Magic Kingdom... that's really tough. Frontier Land has two of my favorite rides, while I think I really enjoy the atmosphere of Adventure Land... but since I always have been, and always will be a geek at heart, Tomorrowland is my fav. Of course, I still prefer the OLD Tomorrowland, but when the new one is lit up at night, it's amazing.

 

[scrappinmom]

Hi everyone !!! I'm home! WOW, nothing like a week and a half somewhere else to make you want to go to Disney EVEN more!!!! We had a great time though, just very...relaxing.....relaxing.....

My dd's Ice skating team won 4th place! An international medal! We were 199% thrilled!

Went whale watching off Provincetown...amazing...THAt was the highlight of the trip for me. I found Martha's Vineyard to be a bit, ok a lot boring. Cape Cod in general was fun, the beaches are great, low tide is amazing, I swear we walked miles out before hitting water!

& here's the cool part...now that I'm back...WE'RE IN DOUBLE DIGITS BABY!!!! WAHOO! I am so psyched! My girls must have said a dozen times "couldn't we have saved this money to go to Disney?" hahahah they are going to be so surprised!

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

welcome back Scrappin mom!!! congrats on the 4th place!!

 

[PureTcrazy]

I like rides here and there, but for just being at MK, Main Street is my favorite place!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]

My fave land in MK is Fantasyland. I love all of the ride there.

 

[BTown]

Speaking of Magic Kingdom, I have to ask - how does everyone feel about the changes to Pirates of the Carribean?

I saw some video today of some of the new features they've added, and they look amazing, but I just don't think its right changing a classic like that. It's like, trying to re-write text books or something.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

i'm interested to see it and tthen aske what DH thinks. he has no clue it was changed, so i am curious to see if it even makes a difference..

 

[scrappinmom]

I dunno - we'll see. I haven't read a lot about the changes yet....but I'm not a big fan of change in the first place...
