Ok this is my first Pre Trip report. What I should really be doing is finishing my two major projects that will finish off my masters which are due next week and the week after (also the week we leave for THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH:banana::banana::banana:) but alas I am so disinterested in writing those and SO interested in our vacation that I decided a pre trip report was in order.

First some backgrounds, the cast of characters are myself :tinker: (38), my dear husband :eeyore: (38), and my three dear sons (12, :stitch: 10 :goofy: 6 pirate: ). In May 2005 I took my at that time one and only son :stitch: who was 7 then to the world for what was going to be our once in a lifetime trip we split time between POP and rented points at OKW. We spent ten days and did it like crazy people. What I never took into account was the way that I would get sucked in. So for Christmas that year Santa :santa: brought ten day never expire passes and we took my dear mother in March of 2006 to POP. During this period I met a wonderful man :eeyore: and his two sons :goofy: pirate: who would soon become the rest of the cast of characters. In October of 2008 thanks to a business trip and never expire tickets my son and I went again this time staying at ASMU. In September of 2010 I married my best friend and officially welcomed to our family my two youngest sons. So I decided that it was completely unfair that the two youngest have never been to the world and the oldest has gone three times.
DH :eeyore: is not excited about the trip. He went once when he was very first married to his first wife (I am number three, a whole other story :rotfl2:). I keep telling him his not so fond memories are about the person he is with and not the world. He tells me he will love it because the kids will. I just keep waiting for him to get sucked in like the rest of us :wizard:. So I just keep the planning to myself.

We will be arriving on May 29 and leaving on June 6. We will be spending the first 5 nights at POR I am assuming at AB since we are 5 with free dining. The last three nights we will be staying at the Hilton at Bonnet Creek thanks to a job that travels that was nice and free.

As you can imagine I am so excited and have been stalking the TS cancellation pages and working on details for Star Wars weekends. But it even goes further than that. I have had the chance to work in Orlando for two nights this month. So I was able to one evening park over at DTD and go walk around POR and POFQ. Wow what a great resort. I also was lucky enough to stay at the Hilton. One night I just walked around as the Caribbean Beach and the Boardwalk. I have become a WDW stalker….

I cannot wait to wake up and know today is the day and spend those eight glorious days with my family party:. I look forward to sharing it with you all and love all of your reports. For now I should maybe work on some homework so I CAN go.
 
Loving your PTR so far!!!:thumbsup2
We are going at the same exact time.
Cannot wait to read more! popcorn::
