Being somewhat new to the DIS, I have never done a trip report-before, during or after! I can't wait for our travel dates to get here and have to be doing something Disney related to pass the time, so a PTR seemed like the perfect thing to do.
The cast:Me-I'm Rhonda and I'm the official Disney planner for our family. I have made it my job to instill the love of all things Disney into my children since birth. This will be my 6th Disney trip and 3rd trip staying on-site. By profession, I am a high school teacher, but I also sell for a fabulous direct sales company and that is where I was able to almost get our Disney trip for FREE!!!
DH-The Disney Grumpy. Bless his heart, he just doesn't always understand. He hates It's a Small World, along with almost everything else at MK
He needs some Disney magic! I'm not really sure he likes anything about Disney, except maybe the safari at AK....oh, and drinking around the world at Epcot 
DD-Our princess and boy, does she know it! This child is the biggest girly-girl on the planet but will play in the dirt with the boys at any time too. She will turning 5 right after we get home from our trip and is begging for birthday specials at Disney.
DS-Our baby boy will turn two a couple of months before our trip. We've never done a Disney trip with a barely 2 year old, so this could be interesting. He loves "Mimmie Mouch"-Mickey Mouse doesn't quite come out right when he says it
Dates-We will be leaving home on December 16, right after work to drive at least half-way. As long as the van is still running (huge family joke as I hate minivans yet now drive one because I got a loaded, great-condition used one for $500!), we will be driving it down but using Disney transport once we are there. I am hoping for more like 3/4 of the way that first night so that we get to Disney early the 17th! We'll just have to see how that works out. We leave on the 22nd so that I have the 23rd to get ready for any last minute Christmas stuff at home!
Resort-After much time spent on DIS, I finally decided on Coronado Springs. I love the atmosphere in the pictures and while DH really wanted to stay at an AK resort, the price difference just wasn't worth it to me this time. Maybe sometime when we do an adult-only trip, we'll try deluxe.
Dining-FREE, need I say more! We already had our ressies made along with most of our ADR's so I was thrilled when FREE DINING came out! With the exception of the travel to and from and our extras like souvenirs, we are only spending $51 over what I earned with my direct sales company
Will put links here for other planning topics. Will get my ADR schedule on here soon, too!

I am taking my two year old too. I took my son at that age and it went great. But I am crossing my fingers. She is shall I say a bit temperamental to say the least. Do you sell 31? I love their stuff but I can't sell it since I live near the supplier and they have super cheap warehouse sales twice a year. I am pretty sure my friends would laugh at me if I tried to sell it to them for full price.
