Ok, i'm not really sure I know what I am doing here, so I will copy some ideas i have seen on others.. hope thats ok 
Who we are
Me:
27 yo momma, who loves tattoos,diy projects,scrapbookingand all things hardcore or punk rock
. Have been to wdw 2x in my life. I was around 10 the first time and don't remember much of anything.. weird huh?? second time was in 2005 and was very last minute, but planned amazingly well considering I did'nt know about The dis! We did DDP last time and LOVED IT!! But who didn't in 2005! I am a nanny for a living and absolutely love it!! Have always loved disney world..but not all things disney.. if that makes sense?? I'm not the type to buy disney clothing or anything of the sort. I also tend to like the darker/twisted/weird side of disney. My favorite disney movie is Nightmare Before Christmas and then Peter Pan and Pirates of the caribean. Potc is also my favorite ride, and only thing i really remember from my trip as a child.. coincidental?? I think not! Oh, I'm also a terrible speller and not very good at grammar
Df and I
DF:
He is my old man.. he will be turning 37
while we are in disney this September! He is an auto-mechanic and not quite the disney fanatic I have become, but welcomed the upcoming trip with open arms. His first trip was in 2005!I think the real selling point this time around was the free beer at spirit of aloha and HDDMR
Although, he was more than dissapointed when I told him it was budweiser
Oh well, it all tastes the same after a couple...right?? DF is not DD biological father, but he is her father and daddy in every sense of the word!! He is a truly amazing daddy!
DD:
(she was only 4 in this picture) 7 years old (and a half as she likes to remind everyone) full of sass and super smart. Loves anything and everything to do with astronomy and the planets! Used to be a HUGHE fan of the princesses.. (it was a bit out of control) but insists she is over them now.. "too old" as she likes to put it
I have a sneaking suspision she will sing a different tune once we are in disney!! If not she at least got to see them when she was really obsessed! Speaking of which, her first trip was also in 2005 and she LOVEDDDD it, and is as big a trip planner as me! I'm hoping that there will be some Hannah Montana,HSM and Camp Rock stuff, just to make her smile 
She is talkative but shy at first, scared to death of everything until I make her try it, and a terrible eater. Poor kid only weighs 39lbs!! She's quite the shorty too! She's everything i ever wanted in a child and saved my life from going down a bad path!
DD and DS
DS:
(Most recent pic I have on my photobucket account ;/, normally hes got an awesome mohawk going on..seriosuly. but that was a beach day)
2(and a half) What can I say about him. He is awesomely smart and adavanced when it comes to his fine and gross motor skills. But just started talking (hoping he'll be talking/understanding more when we go to wdw). He see's a therapist for his social behavior, as he seems to not be developing apropriately for his age, aka, he is a hitter,screamer and all around nut
Most people think it is bad parenting or the terrible two's, but he is just wired diffrently, always has been. He's the type to punch you then kiss the mess out of you. I never knew I wanted a little boy until I had him. He's fun ,courageous and my little daredevil. Him and his sister are best friends and he just idolizes her
He's the tiniest of my little loves, but has the biggest personality! Oh to add to his awesomeness he is allergic to eggs,peanuts and tree nuts... FUN!
So what made us go:
We originaly planned an October trip with plans of being there on Halloween day. We also were originaly planned this with one of my BFF's and she backed out. After that another friend of mine suggested I go when her and her family were going. Free dining is what sealed that deal!! So now not only do we get to go with friends, but we saved mucho dinero by getting the free dining!! After our 2005 trip, I had to go back. I can't remember a time ever being that happy!! (of course after I had my children, but you kwim) I also want to go as many times as we can while our children are still young enough to enjoy it in that uber magical way! All I ever wanted growing up was to do family events like disney and it never happened. So I swore when I became a parent we would do as many super fun things as we could. Partly to fill my childhood void but mainly to see the looks on my kiddies faces!
Whats in a plan?:
Well after finding the dis, I became even more obsessed with this vacation!! I was already following most of the dis laws, but now there was a place to confirm my beliefs, and share all my worries and joys
I like the dis because it makes me feel like i'm not really a looney tune when it comes to disney, but an avid trip planner I have been planning this trip for almost 2 years now, but didn't book until April of 08..maybe march
We are doing the magic your way package with deluxe dining and park hoppers, but no water parks. We are staying at All star music resort. We thought about upgrading our room, but decided against it since we loved the All star movie on our last trip, and were never really at our resort in 2005. I think once the children get older more expensive resorts will come into play, but for right now, the kids love the themes of the all stars.
How long???
We will be leaving on Sept 13,2008 around 7pm from New Hope,Pennsylvania. We will be driving to WDW as I do not fly.. will not fly, can not fly Yes I have flown in the past, and that is how I know it is not for me..ever again. I am actually excited about driving and so is DD!! We will be staying at WDW from Sept 14-22!! In 2005 we were only there 4night/5days, so I am very excited to stay for such a long time this go around!!
Don't forget to make those ADR's!!!
Well last trip I made some ADR's but must have been SOOOOOO lucky because we pretty much walked into every restaurant we wanted! Including CRT TWICE!! This time around I figured I would do some research as I had a feeling free dining would mean, everyone and there momma!! good thing I did!!! So far I have gotten every ADR I have wanted, but have not been able to tweak them to perfection just yet... but i still have 1 month and 6 days left.. so have no fear!!! many people on here scoffed at me for making so many ADR's, but I like food as does DF, and I also don't feel the need to ride every single ride in any particular format. I did buy the unofficial guide to disney and will use it, but i am not the type to run to a ride. Whatever happens, happens. Whatever doesn't happen will just have to happen on another trip.. you get where I'm going with this folks
So back to the ADR's
Sept 14- CRT (dinner)
Sept 15- Boma(breakfast), whispering canyon cafe(dinner)
Sept 16- Chef Mickey's (breakfast), MNSSHP, LTT(dinner)
Sept 17- Playhouse disney character breakfast at hollywood and vine,50's Prime Time Cafe(lunch) and Spirit of aloha(dinner,just snagged this one after stalking the dine line for months!!)
Sept 18- Akeshurs(breakfast), Coral Reef (dinner, with custom menu's and a diver with a birthday sign for df!)
Sept 19- 1900 Park fare (breakfast),Narcooses(dinner)
Sept 20- Crystal Palace (Breakfast), HDDMR(dinner) Also is DF's bday!!
Sept 21- Ohana(breakfast)
Those are our ADR's for right now. Ultimately i would like to do the HDDMR on Sunday the 21st and do a nice romatic dinner for two on the 20th at yachtman's for DF's bday. We would use Kids night out, as I hear they are veryyyyy awesome! if we can not change it to the way we want it, that is ok too, as i have every ADR I wanted!!
Uhm.. what am I leaving out? what else do i write?? This my very first trip report ever!! I plan on documenting everything!! I will not dissapoint when it comes time for the actual trip report!! Pics galore for all!
I'm sure I will randomaly think of things to write in here, so don't mind the craziness.. my mind is a hot tranny mess!'
Hope you all enjoy this and welcome!

So now I have ADR's for HDDMR at 5pm on the 20th then Yachtman's ADR's for 9:15pm.... I'm pretty sure we will cancel the Yachtman one, but figured I better snag it just in case
I'm feeling the worse today than I have all week. Maybe that means it is clearing up?? I guess better to get all the sickies out of our system now right?
ha!
But it would be nice to have some color!! I'm thinking another shopping trip, without my son is in order before disney!! Actually I know it is.. df needs some new clothes too, for home and disney. I'm sure I can get some sweet deals since they are putting out all their fall stuff.
We're staying at the AKL and the rest of the family is staying at CBR. I can hardly wait. I did a bit of shopping yesterday as well. Everyone has summer stuff on sale now so it's a great time to shop. Not that we NEED anything but it's always nice to have new stuff to take to Disney. I am a scrapbooker as well so I have loaded up on all things Disney in preparation for scrapping the trip when we return. Our local Michael's had all of their Cricut cartridges on sale for $40 each
Seriously though, I'm such a last minute person. And every year I think it will only take, like 20 minutes to throw stuff in a bag. Yeah, right! It always takes waaayyy longer than I think and then I'm very tired and just want to go to bed but still have lots of stuff to pack. And this is why I have not done a PTR. For the two facts that I'm a procrastinator and I don't do anything to write about. Oh wait, one more thing I have done is to try to convince DBF to wear a costume again this year for
