Prologue: Introducing Cinderellie and her Prince Charming
What can I say? Everything Ive learned Ive learned from the DIS
!! With a little over a week to go until our first anniversary trip 
and my DHs first ever trip to WDW 
, I figured it was time to give back to the community!! So heres the pre-trip report for our much anticipated free-dining anniversary celebration at POR this September 
!! Thanks to all of the veterans who have entertained me for last year as I planned our magical vacay, Zzub, LaLa, the Happyhaunts, Vettechick, etc. . . . and to those of you who are new as I once was, I hope you can discover a few helpful tidbits of knowledge or ideas!!
The Cast of WDW Fairytale:
Me: Cinderellie; 26, but still a child at heart! Lover of all things Cinderella and Tinkerbell 
. . . Yes, Im a spoiled, sweet but sassy princess (only child, what can I say?) AND an OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) trip planner! My first trip to WDW was at the age of 11 after begging my parents for years! You have to admit; those WDW 20th Anniversary Commercials with the countdown were very convincing to a child. 1,2,3 . . .20! 
Come on and admit it, you know the one Im talking about. The next time was a ½ trip in 1998 when I performed in the 
Citrus Bowl Halftime show because I only got to go to the parks the first day of the week, once during the week, and on the last day . . . but my parents who drove me all the way from Ohio spent the whole week at the World . . . The nerve! Of course they made it up to the Queen as they call me by taking me back before my final year of college (their last trip before their little girl grew up) and low and behold Cinderella met her prince a few weeks later 
. . .
DH: Prince Charming, AKA Captain Will Sparrow (all-around loyal, honest, humble guy for whom the Rum is never gone); 26, one of five children whos great childhood vacation memories included Cedar Point 
!! Oh the horror 
!! Yes, my DH has never been to Disney World 
!!! Hes a very practical Purchasing Director for a healthcare company that calculates everything in his head, such as the following equation:
Rain + 20,000 people + $8 ponchos = big rip off! Not a cheapskate by any means, but likes to get what he pays for. Also a biigggg sports fan . . . Yes, our vacation is scheduled to coincide with Alabamas non-conference games . . . Roll Tide! Loved our honeymoon cruise and believes vacations should be spent relaxing by a pool or on a beach with drink in hand . Still doesnt believe me that getting up at 6:30 am 
will allow us to see more animals on the Kilimanjaro Safari than if we slept in instead. Yes folks, we have a WDW skeptic !! Will he discover the magic 
? Keep reading!!
