Big Disney Welcome to everyone 
I'm Nina and this was my 23th time going to WDW. I've been putting off writing my trip report, mostly from forgetfulness and a bit of laziness.
So, here I am! I'll be posting LOTS of pics! We always take hundreds of pics and buy the photopass cd.
My parents have been taking me to WDW since I was a 1-year old. I spent my 1st birthday there, and I plan on doing the same for my kids. Speaking of kids, my husband and I are expecting our first child in January! We're very excited. And not to get too personal, but it's definitely a Disney baby as it was *ahem* conceive there on this trip. When the doctor told me the date, I looked at my friend who was with me and we gave each other thumbs up. LOL! If it's a girl, I'm theming (as best I can) the room in Alice in Wonderland. If it's a boy, the room will be Pirates theme! But it will have a bunch of other Disney stuff decorating it too.

Me, 28
Anthony, 29 - my husband. This was his second trip to WDW, and first trip there with me. Sadly, he didn't have the best time. It felt like everything I had raved on didn't work out - like something was trying to keep my husband from having a good time there! He also had sticker shock from the prices of the food. He said he's not going back for like another 10 years. GRR!
Dad, 52 - My Dad has a mission on every WDW trip to talk to CMs, get their autographs, and take a pic with them. He does this to show the CMs that they are appreciated and special. He's had so many people shocked and some of them cried when he tells them about his mission. We've made many Disney friends this way!
Mom, 51 - WDW really is the happiest place on earth to her! She is a big Tinker Bell freak.
Alicia, 25 - my best friend. She lives a hour north of WDW and is as big a Disney fan as me!
Sandy, 50 - Alicia's kooky mom! There's never a dull moment when Sandy is around...trust me
We stayed at the beautiful Port Orleans Riverside. This is our "home" resort. We've stayed there 10 times since 1993. It had been four years since we were at Riverside. Prices were so high there that Pop Century became our second "home" resort for those few years. But this time there was a great deal going on and we were able to go back to Riverside!

Yes, my folks are kooky crazy. My husband packed my truck and we were off to my folks house which is about 15 minutes away. The day before we went to Gulfport to get a rental car. They promised a SUV, but instead we got a SUV/van hybrid. It was not very big. Ahhhhh. But somehow my dad fit everything in the tiny cargo area. 
Then I saw the familiar miniature gulf place on the exit and knew we were there! We checked into the Comfort Inn for the first night since it was Saturday and Disney is higher on weekends. After checking in, we rested and got ready to go resort hop!
