Hello again Disers, and welcome to my PTR!! 
I (literally) just finished my TR for our January trip. I had so much fun writing it and couldnt wait to do another. Check it out if you want to see all the fun we had! I promise youll be glad you did 
For those of you who dont feel like reading all of that, I will introduce the cast again and give you all the essentials:
WHO: Im Lauren, the trip planner and soon to be bride who got engaged on said January trip to the world. Im 23, a UConn grad student and special education teacher.
I love books, shopping, the elliptical machine
and oh yeah DISNEY! Been going since I was three, and Ive been back every year since. My favorite characters are Daisy and Belle.
My fellow Traveler: My DF Kyle, 22 going on 23, my fiancé of about 2 months and my prince charming who proposed to me in front of the castle on said January trip!
Our proposal!:
He is a marketing associate for a company here in CT where we live (not together yet, we are very traditional and wont move in together until after our wedding). Avid sports fan (Red Sox/Packers/Huskies) and pretty new to Disney. Other than the occasional high school band trip, hed never been before we started dating. This will be his third trip with me though and he loves it and is willing to go back every year (sometimes twice as evidenced by this second TR of 09 haha!) His favorite characters are Donald and Eeyore.
Well be getting hitched June 25, 2010 here in CT then Disneymooning. But more about that later! This trip is to celebrate something different
WHAT: My graduation!! As of May 9th I will officially have my masters in special education. I was itching for a second trip this year, and when the 4/3 deal came out, my mom decided she would pay for half the trip as a gift to me! This will be me and DFs first vacation just the two of us. We usually go with my family, so we are very excited for this romantic trip! And after spending 5 very intense years getting two degrees and teaching at the same time, I am ready to celebrate!!
WHERE: All Star Movies. Since this is our second trip in a year and were saving for a wedding, we decided to go value. And I do not mind at all, DF and I have both stayed at All Stars (me music, him sports) on different occasions. I like them a lot, the theming is cute and as long as Im staying at a Disney resort Im happy! This time we decided to try Movies for a little change of scenery. Plus DF is a sucker for the Mighty Ducks
WHEN: June 6-13th. Two weeks after school is over, but before I have to start teaching summer school. And I pray before it gets too crowded and/or hot! I have never been in June before. In fact Ive only been in the summer once, in August for free dining in 2006. It will be Star Wars weekends. Im not a huge fan, but heck its a new experience, right? And who doesnt love Mickey in a uniquely themed costume, it might as well be a Jedi!
HOW: Well be flying down out of Hartford on Delta, the official Disney airline of course! Our flight out on the 6th is 7am. We are only morning people in Disney! Then the return flight is 6:55 so we can get a close to full day in on the 13th. I booked our entire package through Disney with the airfare because I honestly was feeling too lazy to figure out the airfare and moms paying half anyways haha! We have 7 day hoppers. No off days for me, well be in the parks all day every day, thats just how we roll lol.
We are also doing the Dining Plan.
Not deluxe because I cant eat all that food, but I like to have one TS almost everyday so it seemed the way to go! I can book my ADRs on March 8th so of course Ill be on the horn at 7am. Just need those June hours to come outs so I can work on our itinerary some more!
Coming up next: Ill show the list of where I would like to eat (if I can get the ADRs I want!) and share our Must Do list for this trip! Stay tuned!

I hear they make mortar board mickey ears for grads, if I find them I will let you know!!
We are indeed a fun loving family and Disney is the best place for that! I work hard....but come June 6th I will be playing hard 
But for now my Dis obsession will get me through, thanks for helping out with that everyone!!
Or, I might try and talk DF into paying OOP over at Beaches and Cream because I'm dying to try it. 
Lunch at Columbia Harbor House and TS dinner at Tony's Town Square.
Breakfast at ASMo, then heading to DTD. Trying Earl of Sandwich for the first time. Then maybe Ghiradelli Soda Fountain again for some more yummy sundaes!
