Alarm goes off at 5:55 and I roll over and grab the laptop... click, click, click - success I got what I wanted! My three ADR's were confirmed and complete!

*time passes...*

8:30, while on my way to drive Madi to school I call 407-WDW-DINE and get Madi's reservation for The Mad Hatter's Tea Party

*time passes...*

1:05, on my way to lunch with a friend I call 407-WDW-PLAY and schedule Pirate League for the three of us!

So since Jen made my own DIS Board account she decided to write "first post" on here. Little did she know that I was going to go back and change it myself...I have been by Jen's side somewhat during this whole planning process and it has been crazy but fun to watch!...so much fun that she convinced me to book my first solo trip to WDW! Where I too got amazing flight tickets...($240 round trip out of Boston to Orlando) and amazing reservations at POP thanks to the lovely Jen aka my travel agent.

I have been to Disney a couple times as a small child, but don't really remember too much of that. And then twice while in college..(I am 24 now, recently graduated college)..but it's always with crazy family and I never get to experience WDW the way I want to see the magic.

So I will be visiting during my favorite time of the year...CHRISTMAS! Dec. 1st-6th to be exact.

p.s. - I will probably start my own P.T.R. once Jen shows me how and I learn all the lingo...i may love Disney but apparently not as much as Jen! <3

congrats on the ADRs and everything else. so you got all the times you wanted and everything right? your schedule looks great so far- too bad we are just missing you. We leave on the 22nd, although our flight isn't until 8pm.

We should be in Magic Kingdom no later than 2PM... maybe a quick "hey, hello" --- a passing the torch moment maybe?

I thought I would share with you, my faithful followers, the spreadsheet that I have created and will continue tweaking until October!

Thoughts, comments, changes? I'll gladly take all suggestions!

Welcome back Megan! I made it quite easily in Microsoft Publisher. Just created a table with X rows, X columns. If you want a blank I could certainly help you out!

It has been a while since I have updated... and it has been pretty quiet as far as trip planning goes - with the exception of planning our 2012, 2013 and 2014 vacation plans (Dec '12 WDW *purchase APs; Oct '13 *use AP; Aug '14 - LONDON!!!).

congrats on fostering! How cute is she? and how lucky to have you guys! Hope all continues to go well. I think fostering is such a selfless gift! Our neighbors just got a 12yo boy a few months ago and he is adjusting well too.

can't wait to hear about plans for all the future trips- London? Yeah!!!!
