Hot, Rainy, FREE DINING, NO LOVE BUGS, and PICTURES! (props to YourMajesty for the title 
)
The Intro
Well folks, this is my first trip report and I had a tendency to get long winded. I also have a tendency to post stupid pictures that nobody cares about so if any of the above would bother you, you should stop reading now (or not!!)
It all started December 9, 2005. Yep folks, that’s my wedding date. I joke that I made my husband Jeremiah say in his vows that he would take me to Disney ATLEAST once a year. So far, he’s lived up to his vow!!
My parents agreed to pay for our honeymoon so of course, it’s a no- brainer, and we went to Disney! I wanted to go for my birthday (October 8) but then, the wonderful free dining came out, so we changed our dates and had a great time. Come on, what girl doesn’t love FREE FOOD???! (I also tell myself it is free CALORIES so double happy points for me!! ) We loved the free dining so much, we decided we would come back the next year.
Jeremiah’s AP (annual pass for those not in know, get on the ball people!!) expires on September 22, and mine expired back in November of last year, so we wanted to plan our trip at a time when we would only have to buy 1 AP every year. It was also important that I book (hopefully) when there aren’t any LOVEBUGS (see tag.) So, we booked September 14-21 at Pop Century. We booked ADRs (after my relentless nagging to Jeremiah to help me choose where to eat.) We bought plane tickets and waited for Dings! every single day.We booked a rental car because I haven’t been feeling so hot lately and wanted my own transportation. We booked our dog boarding (and cried, who would want to leave that sweet face??? See signature.) We arranged for Jeremiah’s former co-worker to come by every day and take care of our house and cats. And then we waited….for about 175 days!!
Finally, booked GF Photo Sitting (score!) And picked outfits for that, after bothering my Cliqueless friends relentlessly on what to wear.....
(Warning. I am THAT person. That plan every second of the trip and double check that and make 10 copies of the same paper and get into line at the airport at the A line for Southwest 3 hours before the flight so I can sit in the exit row seats person. Ya know, the one every one complains about because they have to start waiting for their place too. Yep, thats me!! I can't help it. I'm a Libra.)
The Characters
Me- aka Ashley, aka Grump Face on occasion. I LOVE Disney. I was raised in South Florida and went frequently so I was used to being able to go to Disney on a whim. Jeremiah & I moved to Northern Virginia in Dec. 2004 so I'm not exactly used to having to plan THIS much in advance and needing plane tickets! As mentioned before, a bit OCD Loves food at Disney (well, everywhere, who am I kidding??) (especially food thats FREE!!), her dog, and talking to my cliqueless friends everyday. I basically have no life, I sit at home all day and am a student, I attend an online school. Luckily for you, I have lots of time to write this trip report. (I also love that smiley <------) Another tidbit, I am terrified of the characters. I know what you're thinking, a grown woman scared of a man or woman dressed up as Mickey Mouse?? But I can't help it, I swear I think I was tramatized as a child. I seemed to overcome my fear ALITTLE bit this trip, (opps, a spoiler leaked out) but I wasn't able to get a pic with one like I wanted to. Oh well, there's always next trip!!!!
Hubby, aka Jeremiah, aka Dorky. He is an accountant (don't ask me how he does it
) who loves thrill rides and comic books 
He claims to not like Disney 
but HE was the one who was completely packed no less than 2 weeks before our departure!!! He is Vibranium here on the Dis (don't ask me what that means, because I have no clue.) So honey, you can come defend yourself (ahem, elaborate) on the trip report anytime you want!!!
Here's a pic of Jeremiah on our last trip...
(He told me later he was thinking, "Whose nose is bigger?")
I much prefer this picture though
(What's funny about this pic is I don't even drive!! Well, that may not be too funny to others......
)
Next up....packing, going to the airport, and our first night at Disney!!!
Part 2- Getting ready and getting to the airport!!!...and Finally, we're at Disney!! But what happened to our ADR's????-Page 2, Post #27
