Introducing Piglet to WDW...PTR 10/25-10/31

[PigletsMommy]

Hello All! Thanks for taking a look-see at my PTR. This is my 1st attempt (at a PTR not WDW) and I'm very excited about it.

So lets get right into the particulars.

The Who

Me, aka Katie, aka the Disney-obsessed one in the family. I'm 30 and have been in love with all things Disney since I can remember. We only took one trip to WDW when I was young. I think I was 9. It was a day trip & here's the only picture I have of that trip.

**Notice the hat Pluto is wearing...he stole it from me!

DH, aka Wes...He's a little bit of Sleepy, Donald Duck and Goofy combined. He's 31 and didnt find is love for Disney until our honeymoon in 2006 But to his credit he has quickly recovered and is ready to go anytime I get that Disney Itch. He will never admit this but he gets a little misty eyed at the end of Spectromagic Parade

Heres a pic from our Honeymoon

and one from our Family Trip in 2008. DH's sister is also in this one.

DD, aka Lizzie, aka Lou Lou, aka Piglet. She is 8 months this coming week and becoming quite a handful. As I write this she has tried 3 times to hit the button that turns off the computer! Ok...4 times now. We call her Piglet because that is the 1st Plushie she grabbed and played with by herself. She always tries to bite his nose off. Well maybe not bite, but gum his nose. Here's her Piglet pictures:

Up next Where When & Why...

I know that What is missing but, well, that sees really obvious Officially we are 7d/6n MYW with PH and Basic Dining.

When: October 25th thru the 31st

Where: So originally we booked POFQ. I was super excited about staying there. We've never stayed moderate before but this one looked fun to us. From what I read it had its own bus system & rarely shared...plus that slide looked like so much fun Then a few weeks ago I got a FD code emailed to me. I called and after some explaining, had it added to our reservation. They couldnt understand why my name had changed. When I signed up that email I used my name...well I've gotten married since then so its not the same. After jumping thru some hoops and a little We dropped our cost by a little over $500 Now you would probably think we would upgrade...not us. DH & I started talking about it...what would we miss if we downgraded to POP? Well mainly that slide...but would we really use it? After some discussion we decided that most likely not. So on the phone again I changed our resort. Yet another $400 savings. I had also originally booked the water park option on our tickets but after much debate we decided with a 1 yr old we will probably only hit 1 one park, if that. So we dropped it & decided that if we go we will pay OOP.

I think we are done changing now. All this made my head hurt

The Why. After our honeymoon we said we would go back every other year...this is our 4th trip in 3 years. DD turns 1 on Nov 2 so we will do a little birthday celebration there with just the 3 of us. But mainly we are celebrating our 3rd Anniversary on the 28th. Its kind of special to us because our honeymoon we were joking that hopefully we would take an extra special souvenier home with us. Unfortunately that didnt happen and a few months later we found out that we will never have babies the old fashioned way. Fast Forward 2 years and some help with IVF...we are finally taking our own little princess to WDW.

Up next: The Plans...now if only we had park hours.
