Sounds like a great start to me...we love to stay onsite as well...we like not having to drive.

Cannot wait to learn more about your family.

Congrats on a great start! I am following you from Thread Killers and am subscribing to your trip report.

Btw, you have a lovely family.

I would like to know one thing though - How did you decide which restaurants you wanted to eat at? Based on experience, recommendations, etc?? I've never been to WDW and haven't a clue as to where to plan to eat.

Thanks for joining. Picked Garden Grill, Coral Reef, and Sci Fi because we have eaten there before. My DH and I have eaten at the Castle but DS and DD have not. They would like to try it just to be inside the Castle. We have never seen the Hoop Dee Doo Revue and I have read that it is very funny. Corny but funny. That fits us perfectly. Just read a lot on the DIS and it will help inform you on what fits your family.

Great start shmu! Another thread killer here subscribing to your PreTR. You're doing a great job and I agree with everyone else that you have a great looking family.

However, as a Auburn fan, it was hard for me to see you in a Dawg shirt!

 

[randy4au]

Enjoying the pre-trip report so far, Shmu. Sorry you have to wait so long until your trip. I only had to wait 4 months between the time we booked our trip (March) and when it actually took place (July), and I thought July would NEVER get here.

We have a few things in common. My first trip to WDW was in June of 1972--two months before my 4th birthday. I also met my wife at church. We attended the same church and school (private school operated by the church we attended) since we were little kids. We were good friends long before we ever started dating and eventually married. We are still very involved in our church, and I'm glad to see others who are as well.

BTW, I created a thread back in August with photos from my childhood trips to WDW that you might enjoy. The link is in my signature ("When The World Was Young"...sorry for the shameless plug...LOL).

However, as a Auburn fan, it was hard for me to see you in a Dawg shirt!

AUdisfan, I'm so glad to finally discover another Auburn fan in this forum. I'm sure there are more, but I haven't met them yet. In fact, I discovered this thread when I noticed on the index that the last reply was made by AUdisfan. That got my attention. You should check out the Auburn pics I posted recently on pages 35 and 36 of my trip report thread (see link in signature..."First Trip To WDW in 21 Years"). Shmu (and others) might also enjoy the pics from our trip earlier in that thread (another shameless plug).

And I agree...that Dawg shirt has got to go!

Actually, Georgia is my second-favorite SEC team. I've always enjoyed when Dawg fans come to town. It's always felt like a big family reunion with Tigers and Dawgs tailgating together all over campus. I just miss the good ol' days when the score wasn't so lopsided. The Dawgs have put a whoopin' on us for two straight years. But please ask Coach Richt...why would you want to make this cute little tiger so sad?

That's my 9-month-old son Andrew during his first Auburn game 2 weeks ago.

 

[Shmu]

Randy----WOW. I love the pictures from your thread. The only picture I have from my early visits is the one in my siggy. My parents were not big on pictures. Thanks for sharing.

OK and now for you and AUdisfan------I'll have to look past the fact that you support Auburn. As long as your a disney fan too I guess we can talk. If all Auburn fans are as cute as Randy's son, I may have to reconsider who I support. Not really, I'm a Georgia girl. Born and bred.

Welcome both of you. I'll be posting more in a few days. Going to keep it at about once a week since it's still pretty far off.

Thanks Shmu! Glad you enjoyed the pics! Sorry your parents didn't shoot a lot of pictures during your first visit to WDW. You're pretty strong to resist the persuasive powers of my little Tiger.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome, and I look forward to reading more in the future!

 

[AUdisfan]

I'll be looking forward to the next installment of your PTR. My first trip was in 1976 when I was 4 yrs old, so I wasn't too far behind you and Randy.

Just so you know, I also have a 10 month old who is a really cute Auburn fan. However, my computer is really old and I'm not really computer savvy enough to put any pictures in a post. Maybe one day.

I'm actually Georgia born and bred too. For some reason I've always been an Auburn fan though. When I married DH who graduated from AU, moved to Al, and then eventually moved to Auburn, the deal was sealed. My brother went to UGA and the rest of my family are Dawg fans, so they gave me a pretty hard time after UGA beat us so bad last week.

Have a good week and keep up the good work.

 

[Praise2Him]

Great report, Shmu! I'm excited about being in on the very beginning of it. Maybe it'll inspire me to do one!

We'll just miss each other next year, though. Our AP's expire Sept. 5, so we're going back the week before that.

Oh, and we're Auburn fans here too! LOL Actually I went to Alabama for 2 years but DH graduated from Auburn, so he's sorta converted me. (But my best friend and also my cousin are Georgia fans, so I love y'all too!)

And my first trip was in June 1972, but I was a little older than you - 11.

We should have a 70's Disney Alumni reunion.

Hey! Great to meet yet another Auburn fan, and here in a Dawg fan's pre-TR of all places. I guess the old addage is true...if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Interestingly, I was a Bama fan as a kid. My parent's divorced when I was 4. My dad was (and still is) a BIG Bama fan. We were actually living in Tuscaloosa when they divorced, and my dad continued living there during the 70's. In the 8th grade, I decided that I wanted to become an architect, and when I found out that Auburn had a great architecture school, I decided that I would go there (Shmu, the other school I considred was Georgia Tech, and I'm sure you're glad I didn't go there). Not long after I made this decision, Auburn's losing streak to Bama finally came to an end, the Bear retired, and Auburn became the dominant team in the state through the rest of the decade. Auburn never lost to Bama when I was a student there, and since I started rooting for the Tigers in '82, Auburn leads the series 15-10.

BTW, I only survived one year of architecture school, and I still regret at times not sticking it out. I ended up with a BS in psychology and now I'm pursuing a master's in education.

Hey Shmu, I just found this article and video which sorta parallels what's going on in your thread.

I'm actually Georgia born and bred too.

I guess we are all giving away our age.
Georgia is a great state to be born and bred.

Great report, Shmu! I'm excited about being in on the very beginning of it. Maybe it'll inspire me to do one!
We'll just miss each other next year
Oh, and we're Auburn fans here too!

By the way I love your screen name. Welcome aboard and yes, do a report. I'll subscribe. Too bad we will miss each other. That would have been neat. Another Auburn Fan??? Too funny. Well, you are welcome here.

We should have a 70's Disney Alumni reunion.
