Hi there!!! This is my 1st first trip report so bear with me.

I am planning a birthday surprise for my mom, drum roll please:rockband: She will be turning 70 in January, which is great:yay:, she is a very young 70:goodvibes. and this will be a mother/ daughter trip, and our 1st mother daughter trip to WDW. We always went as a family when I was growing up. Great memories:cloud9: My Dad is in on the sursprise and mom always says you guys can pull anything over on me, she is pretty good at sniffing out secrets. NOT this time MOM... We are going to really sursprise you.

Sooo some back story, 3 years ago my mom and a very serious heart attack and she almost did not make it. She never smoked, and was not over weight at all, pretty physically fit, they said that the heart attack was brought on by stress, her body was in stress from another issue she was having unknown at the time even though she had be telling the Dr' something wasn't right, and also stress from my brother and his family issues. They told us that she would never drive again, and would be limited to what she could do. Well My MOM showed them, she is back driving, goes shopping, and travels with me back and forth to Georgia. She does get tired much easier, but she know's when she needs to rest and does so, and of course my Dad and I watch her like 2 hawks. :thumbsup2


Oh yea, on top of planning this trip, my DD is getting married in March in Florida... Yep..More Planning... It's a Good thing that I love to plan..:surfweb:

We will be traveling to Fl, on January 24th, DD and her future DH in one car and me in my Merlot Mama - Which is my SUV name.:rotfl2: - We are tellling mom that we need 2 cars because of the center pieces and then bring the gifts back.

Sunday - 27th - DD and future DH will head back to Georgia. So Sunday before they leave I will tell her that I have a surprise and to pack and that we are going to WDW... She will be so happy, then look at my Dad and DD and say did ya'll know...?? Priceless. Now if we can just make sure she doesn't find out.

Monday 28th we will be checking in to POR - My mom will love it, I don't know if I should request Alligator Bayou or one of the Manison?? Suggestions Please or maybe I might which over to POFQ??? What to do... What to do???

This should be lots of fun:cool1:

If I may, POFQ might be a better choice as it is more compact.
 
Well in my 1st post, I forgot to tell you about me. I'm a bit scattered lately.. ok alot scattered.:crazy2:. My name is Donna and I am a Disney Kid, the 1st time I went was in 1971 and I was 10 years old, and have been at least once a year since then,... gosh ... I just told my age. Oh well .. I'm not bothered by it:scared:. I am married to my best friend and love of my life, and we each have a grown DD's. The oldest is getting married :bride:next year.. Which I am going to make it through...If all the planning and changing plans and all the other fun stuff that goes with it:coffee: which I will really be needing a few adult beverage to help me make it through.:drinking1

So on to the good stuff.... My mom sent my DD and I Disney bags.. I was super excited to get them, then I thought OMG does she know????? She can't know... OMG..... My Dad and I are being super careful on the phone we don't even think about talking aobut it when she is in the house. So when I called to Thank her for them, I asked her what made her send them, she was like, well I know how much ya'll love Disney, so I just wanted to send a little something. Whew!!! still you never know she is pretty tricky... :rotfl2:

Still not 100% on ADR's we are going to go DDXDP, and I am hoping for Be our Guest for dinner on our MK Day. So please keep your fingers crossed for me, that I can land them..

Thanks for the suggestion, DH and I have stayed there, and it would be alot less walking for her. Sooooo , something to think on.
