Our March 19-27th PTR

[rlahansler]

Hello everyone! Thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and start a PTR as I am so excited about our upcoming trip.

Soo...here is my family!

DH-Rich (42/hates spending money for vacations but always comments after them what fun he had) Myself- Lynn/Mom (41 an intense planner!) and our 2 children. Anthony (almost 11) who loves Disney, Lexie (almost 8)) who was totally princess obsessed, still likes princess but does not want to admit it.

We are booked for BCV March 19-March 27 2011. I've requested high floor room and will also request Epcot view, hoping I will get a great room! (Pixie dust welcomed!). I am really excited to try BCV as the proximity to Epcot and Hollywood Studios is appealing. We are also on the DDP and have some GREAT ADR's made, including California Grill and LeCellier . Thinking of trying the fishing excursions and possibly parasailing.

The kids have known all along we are going. Last trip was Sept 2009, so less than 2 years later we are going again.

We are SOOOO excited to be going again. DH says this is our last trip to Disney for awhile so I want to cherish this trip!!!

Looks like we will be watching Fantasmic on the same day! Except I'm not doing the dinner package that night. I will be doing it on the 24th. I love Fantasmic so much that I am going to see it twice.

Thats great. Last time I saw it in 2009 I was not so impressed. Our seats were not so good. The view was not so good. Hoping with the dinner package and us getting there early we can get some decent seats.

Anyone have any thoughts on above?
