We're going back to Disney! 
Cast of Characters:
*Me: Crystal (35)
*DH: Ben (33)
*DD4: Avery
*DD14months: Carsyn
*DMIL: "T" (We won't be sharing her age here.)
Celebrations:
*Carsyn's first trip
*Avery's 5th birthday, which will occur just before our trip
*Dr. Ben - DH received his PhD last May, a little late to celebrate I know, but we're gonna do it anyway
Where:
*Well...we don't know yet. Likely, Pop, but there's a possibility of DVC rental or upgrade to a mod in the event of discounts.
When:
March 17-23 (Spring Break!)
A little about us:
We went to WDW back in 2010 when Avery was 2. It was my first trip too, but DH has been a few times on HS trips. I absolutely loved seeing Avery have so much fun, and she was all about the fab five. This trip will definitely be more princess-focused.
However, I am excited to see how Carsyn reacts to everything. She's much more active than Avery was at that age, so it should be interesting. 
As I said in the celebrations section, we'll be celebrating Dr. Ben's long journey through graduate school. Our family has gone through some major transitions in the past two years, and we totally deserve a vacation. Especially me! As some of you who've kept up with me on FB and Twitter will know, DH has done a great deal of traveling in the past year leaving me at home with the girls. And since I elected to be a SAHM this past year, funds were tight. Our last proper vacation was the WDW trip in 2010.
Oh, I almost forgot to tell you the reason for this trip title. It's not that great of a story really, but if you knew my DH, you'd find humor. He's very serious. Very. Serious. Our 2010 trip brought out silliness and smiles I'd never seen before, so I've been trying to get him to remember that ever since we got back. I often show him pictures from TRs I read and generally talk way too much about The Dis. He's made it pretty clear that he has no designs on going back anytime soon and that the obsession is ridiculous. HOWEVER, *I* made it crystal clear that we were definitely going somewhere for spring break this year. I asked him where he wanted to go, and he was very unhelpful. So...I did what any good Dis'er would do, I threw out some price quotes for WDW. The next day, I brought up vacation plans again, and he said, "Maybe it would just make the most sense to go to Disney." My first thought was, "Wait, did he just say that? I know he didn't just say let's go to Disney." So I asked, "Is that a firm maybe?" He rolled his eyes, but he didn't say no!
For the record, I still haven't gotten a 'yes, we're definitely going', but I warned him but good that I was *not* going back to WDW without ADRs made 180 days in advance. So, if he wants to screw around and wait, he'll be doing it with a fully booked reservation on his credit card. I'm just sayin'...

for 5 nights, but the AAA discounted rate with tax is just over $730. Along with buying 6 day park hoppers from 
Perhaps I should check to see if he's feeling well?
