Hi all,
Over the last 12 months I have loved reading everybodys else pre trippies and trip reports so tonight ive decided im gonna give it a go !!
Heres hoping I can do as good a job as the ones ive read -

THE CAST

ME (30)
Louise

I am a disney nut and adore anything that has a disney logo on it. I am chief planner budgeter and also chef, cleaner and chauffeur for this trip.

Darling Hubby (34) Wayne

Now I am slowly converting him to the disney bug he is a devoted father and the best husband a girl could wish for !!

DS1 (10) Ben

A fantastic big bro but a serious scaredy cat when it comes to rides - my mission is to take him on a rollercoaster so that he can see how much fun it can be! He tends to watch them and think for too long and then chickens out!!:scared1:

DS2 (7) Cameron

Now ive agonised over how to describe this little cherub but ive decided if im going to do this Im going to have to be honest and write from the heart or its going to be very difficult to write !!
DS2 was diagionised with eye cancer at the age of 20 months and has been on treatment on and off ever since. He has lost his left eye to the cancer and now has an artificial eye. He also has high functioning aspergers.
He is a true gem and is only wanting to kno about the trip when we have just 1 day till we leave as he is sick of looking at guide books and he has planned his route through the parks and quite frankly is ready to leave now!:rotfl2:

DS3 (6) Daniel

This is my very own ABU he is so cheeky and full of energy - if ever we lose a child you can guarantee its this 1 if somethings shiny he is attracted to it like a moth to a flame. He also seems to have no fear this little guy will do anything !!

DD (2) Keira

Finally weve got darling daughter she is so girly I love her to bits!! I cant wait to see her face when we meet the princesses. CinderBrella (as she calls her) Is her idol!!
DD is coeliac so she cant eat Gluten - Im assured that wdw caters extremly well for her and from many conversations ive head with chefs im very hopeful!!

We have finally got to the more exciting part my trip plans . . .
We leave from Manchester airport on 28/02 and return 15/03.
I have 2 adrs planned ;
Cinderellas Royal Table on our first day there! Last trip I got to do nothing girly as the boy vote won over everytime well now we have a princess I intend to use her as an excuse to live my dreams :goodvibes and Ohanas for breakfast on my ds2 birthday.
Id love to have more but because of ds2 aspergers I have decided im best not to try and over stimulate or over plan as a lot is going to depend on how well he copes with the parks.

I am also planning to take everyone to Clearwater beach and take a trip on Caption Memos pirate ship. I know my 3 boys will love this !! I have phoned them and they told me to book on the day we wish to do it in case we have issues with DS2. They have been fantastic!!
I also have plans for stitch to give my ds a gift at ohanas the cm on the phone said if we bought and wrapped it and handed it over at the podium they would be able to sort the rest - Cant wait to see his face!!

Our last trip was in 2005 and was part of a make a wish trip we plan to make a return visit to the most amazing place in the whole of Disney world its a place where kids with a life threatning illness can stay and its truly amazing its called Give Kids The World and we simply have to dedicate a day to go back there and soak up the memories it provided for us as a family. I truly believe that the pixie dust that this village sprinkled on our family gave ds2 the will to fight his disease and the change in him after our visit was commented on by everyone. :wizard: When all our kids are grown I and DH plan to go back here and volunteer to go a small way to repay our debt of gratitude.

That got a bit deep there so think its time for me to confess that I have actually been jumpin all round the house today with only 1 week till our trip I am positivly bursting with excitement :yay: :yay: :yay: My dd loves the crazzzzy momma for a few ours but even she has decided im way too crazzy for her and gives me the eyes rolling look along with her big bros. :sad2:

Hoping ur stil with me ,
Louise x
 
every pre trip report needs piccies so as we have some from our wedding July 08 still in an online gallery i decide they are the perfect pics to intoduce us - all of us look at our best and my family shots are not exactly up to the high photography standards of the fellow disers. Add to that thats its another excuse to show my wedding pics its a no brainer here goes;

Gosh I dont want to make anybody cry :scared: I just thought if i was going to do a trip report then i couldnt leave out the difficulties we have with ds. So sorry I made you sad and thanks for the kind words about the wedding photos - as a family we all loved that day!
 
You have a beautiful family :) You plans sound fantastic, bet you can't wait to go to CRT :)
 
Great start,i cannot wait to hear all about it when you return.
Your pictures are lovely,your children are absolutley adorable.x.

What a lovely introduction to your family.

I hope you have the most amazing time and that your "honeymoon" is amazing and that the children enjoy the magical time that you have planned for them.

Can't wait to read all about it.

your boys are handsome little devils arent they:thumbsup2 and what a gorgeous little girl you have there too.princess:

cant wait to hear about your trip - sounds like there will be lots going on. Hope you can contain your excitement until the 28th :cool1:
 
What lovely photos of your family:goodvibes

Hope you all have a magical time and enjoy your honeymoon and all the special things you have planned:thumbsup2
 
Great photos and a fab introduction to your family and your holiday.
It is easy to see that you will have your hands full. Our DS (14) also has Aspergers so we know how 'challenging' a simple day at the parks can become.
I can also associate with your DS3 as our DD (10) is a no-fear adrenelin junkie. There isn't a single ride she won't do (including the SkyCoaster at Old Town which she did when she was 6).
Good luck with your holiday - and make sure you stock up on Redbull, Pro-plus caffeine etc etc:thumbsup2
