Our FIRST Family Vacation PTR!!!

[TinkerbellM6]

Hello Everyone! I have been a LONG time lurker and have finally joined as an official registered member! Here is the rundown:

I am a 29 year old wife to an amazing hubby, Anthony (27), and together we have two beautiful children, Sophia (5), and Noah (1). I have a self proclaimed obsession with ALL things Disney and we are FINALLY taking our ultimate Family Vacation together after living 4 VERY frugal years due to us purchasing our first home. Now that we have adjusted to life with a mortgage, its time to get down to business with some Disney trips!!!

Some more background info: I am a freelance Makeup Artist specializing in Weddings, and DH is a project manager for a telecommunications company near NYC. I also work in a local restaurant waitressing and bartending for extra cash (AKA DISNEY TRIP FUND $$). We live in PA just over the NY/NJ borders (where taxes are CHEAP ) so essentially we live in the "Tri-State Area."

I grew up visiting Disney every year when we would take our annual family vacation to visit family members living on the Space Coast of FL. We would always do the standard day trips...Sea World, Wet n Wild, Arabian Nights, Universal Studios, and DISNEY! I have countless MAGICAL memories with my parents, 3 brothers, and 1 sister. You can say the MAGIC was instilled in me at a very young age. I treasure the vague memory of when my parents bought me my very first Mickey ears. Fast forward to now, I have continued to vacation there, however now I have been spoiled with staying onsite and there is absolutely NOTHING that tops it. My DH and I honeymooned there in 2008 and it will forever be in my heart, absolutely sublime !!! My daughter took her first trip with us when she was 1 so she is at a PERFECT age right now to absorb the MAGIC. Now that we have our complete family with our little Noah, this is the trip I have been waiting for my whole life. The chance to share these memories with my DH and our children, priceless.

So here I am with a stab at a PTR, I am unsure if I am going to do a complete TR or just Dining Review with little stories sprinkled throughout. I am still new at posting on here so your feedback is appreciated!

I am in love with being on here, its like a secret society of people just like me! Its like the Facebook of Disney Lovers....lol.

Ok enough rambling....here we go!

sounds good so far!!

Just wanted to let you know if this PTR is going to be about your park plans and stuff you may want to get it moved over to the Trip Reviews/Pre Trip Report Threads. But if you will just be talking about your dining plans, this is good where it is!

I actually just put it on there as we speak but can not figure out how to delete this thread? I am still new at this.

Eh, I would just leave it here! If you already made a new PTR, it is up to the moderators to delete it. You can either let a moderator know to delete this( I am not sure how)? Just leave it here and it will eventually fall to the back

I will definitely be checking out your new PTR. So exciting that it is your first family vacation!
