Let me start off by saying that I am a little intimidated doing this. I have read so many GREAT trip reports, I feel like I have a lot to live up to. I am neither a great story teller or a great writer, but I do love Disney and I want to share that with you all!
Location: Kennesaw, GA (about 15 miles North of Atlanta)
Cast:
Me, DH, Nick: I am 26 years old and I have been going to Disney since I was 9months. I have been over 30 times (lost count around 20). I have been doing my own pre-trip reports since I was about 13.
Me and Pluto on my first an only trip to Disneyland!
DW (Katy): My beautiful wife is 28 years old and we will have been married 2 years on Aug 21. She is now a Disney nut! I have brought her over to the Dark Side (I know it's not really the dark side, but outsiders do not understand it).
DS (Isaac): My son is 4 1/2 months old. We found out we were expecting him last March while at Disney for a Braves spring training game. His first trip to WDW.
Trip Date: Sept. 21-25, 2007
Let me start off by telling you how this future trip came about.
Last March, while staying at POP Century for a Braves spring training game, my wife woke up with a terrible migraine. She never gets headaches like this, so I knew something was wrong. We took a pregnancy test and surprise!!! We were expecting our first child!!! I could not have been any more excited. Needless to say, the next few months were full of morning sickness, evening sickness, heat flashes, moodiness...what other adjective can I use to describe a 10-month pregnancy?! Well, on December 10th, 2006 at 2:16 am, Isaac decided to join us. Little did I know, December 9th, 2006 was the last night I would have a full nights sleep!! However, I wouldn't change anything for the world. I never thought I could love something as much as I love that little boy.
I know you did not read this to see a journal of my life, I promised a Disney pre-trip report and that is exactly what you'll get!
In Feb. 2007 the Atlanta Braves were getting ready to go back to Spring Training. I need a vacation! Having a newborn is A LOT of work. Why didn't someone tell us that!! It has been nearly 1 full year since I have been to God's Country (WDW). I was starting to have major withdrawals. DW and I talked about taking Isaac to WDW when he was about a year so he could it a little more....well, I'm just flesh and blood, I couldn't stand to wait that long. I needed to devise a plan to get to WDW, and soon!
I was surfing the WDW website and came across the Disney Triathlon. I have never done a triathlon, I have never ran over 3.1 miles, nor do I swim well, not to mention I haven't rode a bike in 10 years...but was that going to stop me.....NO! This was my ticket to WDW and I was NOT going to miss the boat on this. I called DW and told her that we were going to WDW in Sept. and I was going to compete in a triathlon. After she finished laughing she said, "OK." I couldn't believe it, my plan actually worked!!
At least in my mind it worked. I know DW needs a vacation more than I do. She stays at home with DS all day and stays up with him almost all night. She deserves this break as much as anyone! This is so exciting! I'm taking my family to WDW!! I have always gone to WDW with my parents...now it's my turn to be the parent taking my family to WDW!!! Life is good!
I have to run now, I will finish up the story/pre-trip report after lunch. I will fill you in on where we are staying, what park we are going to and what places we are having dinner!
I hope I have not bored too many people and please forgive any misspelled words and poor grammar!
