I love reading the trip reports and seeing everyones pictures of their trips. (especially those that put the links to each section in the beginning.) Hopefully I can figure out how to do that when the time comes. 
To pass the next 20-some days, I thought perhaps I would do a PT of my own and get my plans down in writing, maybe get some critic from you experts out there. This is our first trip to the world and will be a surprise for my boys.
Hopefully you won't find this too boring, so here goes.........................
Cast:
Me: (35) - can't say I'm a die-hard fanatic of Disney, but love the movies. Love Tiggger and I'm a princess (that is what DH calls me anyway)
Will be celebrating my b-day while there even though it is on the 17th. We will also be celebrating our 10 yr anniversary as well (also on the 17th - yes, we got married on my b-day)
DH: (39) - active duty military. Currently stationed in a city 3 hours away from us. Drives home on weekends to be with us. Has been to WDW before we were together, but I don't count that, therefore a first trip for us.
Definately ready for a whole week of family time.
DS8: Goofy (8) - 3rd grader. This boy if FULL of energy and has a bottomless pit of a stomach. He will eat us out of house and home within a few years. How much food will he consume on this trip? He is the most caring child with a big heart. (I'm a proud momma
)
DS3: Tigger (3 1/2) - active 3 year old for the most part. Loves to be carried around rather than walking on this own. I will definately not forget the stroller for him!! I think he is a lot like me as we butt heads alot.
Flat Grandma - my mom. Never been to Disney, I doubt she ever will. She isn't a fan of crowds or lots of kids...........its a wonder how she raised 3 girls somedays
She adores the grandsons though while they are visiting! Since she may not ever get there, I decided to take flat grandma with us instead. This idea was inspired by another Disser (sorry, forgot who it was).
I work from home in insurance and have been lucky to be home when DS8 goes and returns from school. DS3 goes to daycare in the mornings and is home with me in the afternoon when he naps. So far this works really well for us. DH was transferred last fall and we made the decision to stay back and not make the move. The reason for this is that we were transferred from PA back to Iowa, where we are originally from. Since we were back home and with the housing market the way it is, we thought it best to stay put. Now if the military does another transfer, who knows what will happen.
Our trip is taking place April 25 - May 2 and we are staying off site at the Westgate Vacation Villas. The whole existence of this trip began 2 years ago when me and DH took a long weekend anniversary trip to Las Vegas. We took a timeshare tour and ended up buying an owners experience to any Westgate resort (yes, I seem to get suckered in to these things - they always look so nice!!) Anyway, we had 3 years to use it by, which is by the end of June of this year.
Since I had heard the end of April was low crowds and great weather, we decided to go then. I'm not much for large crowds, so I figured the summer is definately out. I've had the condo booked since last fall and found the Dis and have been faithfully reading and studying all that I can. The boys know we are going to Disney, they just think we are going in July for DS8's b-day.
Little does he know, we are going in 22 days and it is a surprise!!! I can hardly contain myself 




............you would think he would catch on as I talk about Disney alot, but he doens't. Now if I can get the suitcases out and starting packing without questions, all will be good! I'm hoping to start packing this weekend as we are down to only 3 left.
I will try to add some pictures so you can put a face with the trippie.
