Heres some background info on us: Me (Elizabeth) 25, Matt, hubby of 5 ½ years, 30. Daughter Hannah who is almost 3 (stayed home with Grandparents)
Matt is a 5th grade Teacher here in Nashville and a part time youth minister and puts up with my WDW obsession, but is developing a mild case of Disney fever. I am a Stay at home Mom, Vacation Planner, Retainer of Useless Knowledge and Lover of all things Disney.

We were up and at em around 8:30am we packed up everything and headed towards the van which we couldnt remember where we parked. After some searching we finally came across it. We were headed for the Outlets. We stopped at Carters, where we bought lots of stuff for Hannah, we hit the Disney Outlet and spent a whopping .21!! Matt found a postcard that was sort of like a blueprint of the castle for .19. We headed towards Nike to get a new swoosh shirt for Matt and then we were off. We had McDonalds Gift Certificates from some surveys I had done so we both ordered happy meals hoping to get 2 different Pixar toys, but we got two Dorys. Hannah was still thrilled with them. We were on our way towards Atlanta to stay with some friends for the night. And of course stopped at more outlet malls on the way home! Theres definitely a pattern here.

We had a great trip. Matt is convinced that this is our last trip to WDW without Hannah for a while. I of course think like the rest of you and am always planning another trip for just down the road. I think we will head back in November for our anniversary, but will probably take Hannah and Matts parents with us. I am convinced that I will find a great deal on airfare so that we wont have to drive again. But you know road trips usually bring about great conversation and this was no exception. It was great to get away and have some Matt and Elizabeth time again, but we missed Hannah terribly. We enjoyed Pop Century because it was new, but it was crowded and we would rather stay at Caribbean Beach again next time, or better yet Animal Kingdom Lodge! I would go back during spring break no question. I think if you go in knowing that lots of people are going to be there and you might have to wait for things, you will still have a good time. We never waited more than 15 minutes for anything, except for the bus.) I am and always will be a Disney nerd. I am so glad to have found this group over a year ago. I have made wonderful friends and learned so much about so many things.
I vow to never return with my refillable pop mug, stop in the middle of mainstreet to look at a map, or call Spaceship Earth the big golf ball. Thanks for reading this, it will certainly be a neat reminder of our trip.
