Hi everyone!! I thought maybe I should start one of these to help me straighten our plans out and make our plans better :
Sorry if this first post is a little long, I want you to fully understand why this trip is going to be so exciting (hehe aren't they for everyone?!) Also sorry for anything that is not spelled correctly
First off I'll tell you a little about us:
The Cast:
Me: Jacklynn (20) The Princess
rincess:
Well because I am the princess...
DH: Matthew (22 in a few days... on thanksgiving!) Goofy
Mostly because he is well goofy! This will be his FIRST EVER trip
We will be at Disney May 7th-May14th. We are actually looking into post college graduation jobs in a town called Lake Wales which is a little south of Disney, so if we get the job we will drive a moving truck down there with our car in tow, drop our stuff off, and go. If we don't get the job we will either drive down (we don't mind driving) or fly down.
Where? Well either POFQ or WL... I'm for sure voting for WL but I dk if Goofy will go for that. Actually if it was up to me I'd do CR with theme park view... but we are a little too poor for that
WL is much cheaper and is also a Deluxe.
OKAY so now the exciting part! Why?
Well and I got married back on May 12th of this year. We celebrated our 6 year dating anniversary 2 weeks before our wedding. We are young as you can tell, but we had been dating for so long we saw no reason to wait, plus we both graduate from college this may. (From Olivet Nazarene University, near Chicago, IL).
So this trip is partially a finally graduated from college trip, but there is also another reason.
We were all scheduled and paid for a honeymoon in the Riviera Maya about an hour south of Cancun, Mexico at an all-inclusive resort. We had airfare paid for, resort paid for, transportation to/from the resort paid for and were REALLY excited. We booked the trip in November (2006) before the wedding in May and put a lot of planning and research into it. We had our passports back (this is when the passports processing was really far behind because of new laws making you get one to fly to/from Mexico)
So why is my title about a honeymoon mix-up? Well lets just say that at about 1:00pm on the day before the wedding, a few hours before the rehearsal dinner, Matt (My DH) calls me and asks if I have seen his passport... I'm sure you can see where this is going. I say I haven't and we get off the phone. About an hour later he calls me pretty upset saying he thinks he accidentally threw it away. Come to find out when he cleaned out his truck the tuesday before it was stuck between some papers that got thrown out. At least this is the best explaination we have up to this point.
Well his passport was never found. We couldn't get him a new passport in under 24 hours. I was very upset. Not angry, I was just like how can this happen?! Soooo the morning of the wedding, Matt booked a hotel in Clearwater Beach, FL. We ended up driving 17 hours down there from my parents house the day after the wedding. We enjoyed our trip, but because of everything that happened it wasn't really a honeymoon to us. I mean don't get me wrong, we had a blast, but like I said it wasn't really a honeymoon. We really just hung out at the beach and had a few dinners. We of course didn't have time to make any plans down there, and to me planning is half the fun! Thankfully we got everything but $600 back thanks to our travel agent... we cancelled less than 36 hours out!
Soooo while I told DH that I forgive him and that all is well, he says that he won't ever forgive himself until he can give me a real honeymoon. Guess where we are going?! Now we did decide to invite my parents, which may seem odd, but we are pretty close to them, and while we will be together sometimes, we will be pretty much doing our own planning and doing our own thing. Besides I enjoy my parents and we have a lot of fun with them. And like I said if we only visit the same park with them a few times, hey that's cool. We will regroup together at night and chat
Last..... we may be trying for a little souvenir.... We want kids young (both of our parents did), and now is better than any time for us. This will depend though if we have gotten jobs for after graduation though... jobs mean baby, no jobs well... that means a baby later haha
Later.... my plans so far
Sorry this was so long!!! I hope you enjoy reading about my Second/Real honeymoon/Anniversary trip haha!

We stayed at BCV/BC before and walking through the lobby sometimes was like walking through an elementary school. I've stayed at Pop as well...there are more kids there.
