So far I have started 3 trip reports, (one is finished)and a Dining Review, this is my first Pre-Trip Report.
We have done Disney many times. Our first trip as a family was in 2005. Abby was just 4 and Ethan was 9 months old. We were smitten with Disney. Occasionally DH mentions traveling somewhere more "educational" he would love to go to Toronto or Washington, DC. But I think we should wait until the kids are older. I don't really want to take Ethan to any Smithsonian museums. We took him to the Woodruff Arts Center here in Atlanta, to see the Terra Cotta Army from China. He was miserable, and I had to endure his whining.
So we are fresh from a trip in January which was great fun but a little more crowded than we expected and it lacked all of the What will you celebrate decorations and excitement. Christmas decorations were still up but by Jan. 4 I am so over Christmas. It just reminded me that I still had to put away our family tree when I got home!
But despite our frequent travels to WDW we are always happy to go back. I have been reading about the fun during the special parties Disney hosts. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party sounds like a lot of fun. So did the Christmas Party. But something about the Halloween Party really appeals to me.
So I started mentioning it to DH and DD. DD is always itching to go back. She loves it. She would go every month if she could and she has plans to work there when she grows up. Surprisingly, DH agreed and we now have 6 nights booked at the Caribbean Beach Resort. Oct. 30 through Nov. 5 We booked a Pirate Theme Room because they look like a lot of fun! Both kids love Pirates but DS loves them especially. He is frequently seen wearing either a Jack Sparrow or a Captain Hook costume. He also has a lot of Playmobil Pirate toys. He is currently longing for the new Lego Pirates.
So I hope to discuss some of our trip planning adventures with you and maybe share some tips or ask some questions. Please join us as we plan our 8th trip to WDW since 2005!!

The kids want to be pirates though. I think I will make myself some red and white stripped pants frayed on the legs, I have a black shirt or I could make myself a nice white puffy shirt and a stripped bandanna for my head. Abby has a pirate costume from the 
They usually only have you pick up event tickets if you order them very close to your travel date. I would call back.
while she is here. Now, that she is gone I miss her!
