Hello everyone, welcome to my first pre-trip report! I'm just so excited, I need to share my trip with people who will appreciate it!
First the explanation of the title: My 25th birthday is next month (Sept. 13) last year and two years ago I spent my Birthday in WDW with my BF. Both trips were wonderful
Before that I had been to WDW many many times with my family (Mom, Dad, little bro) the last time being in Aug of 05.
In May of this year, I must have had a massive brain fart because I agreed to go to Vegas Labor Day Weekend, thus removing the possibility of doing Disney for my birthday again this year
While I was very excited for Vegas (we're going with a bunch of our friends, I'm sure it will be a great time) as it got closer and closer to my birthday I couldnt help but feel a little sad that I wouldn't be getting any pixie dust this year.
Fast Forward to Mid-august, when my dad randomly asks where I want to have dinner for my birthday this year, joking I reply "How about the yachtsman steakhouse?"
only to get the response of "Yea, that's what I was thinking." 
Turns out, he's been pondering the idea of doing a family trip to Disney for the past few weeks but had to wait to see if our family friend could take care of our dogs, she can, so we can go! And if we are going in September anyway, we might as well arrange it so that we are there for my birthday 
Everyone is beyond excited, we haven't been on a family vacation in over 5 years and no one (except me and BF) have been to Disney in that long either!

We have stayed at the Yacht and Beach club many times, but never stayed in the Villas section before. We were originally going to just get two rooms at the Yacht club, but it was actually several hundred dollars cheaper to get a two bedroom villa at the Beach Club. If anyone has any tips or advice about room requests, please let me know!
