I am happily snowed in today and work was closed so I am finally able to add an intro to this thread.
Hello all! My name is Jenn. I am known on these here boards by a VERY FEW (and that is being generous) by Chrystmasangel. I, like all of you here, am a Disney Addict. I have tried rehab, but it just doesn't work. I get so close to success and scheduling vacation to go somewhere else, and somehow, someway, the airplane always ends up landing in Orlando. I just don't fight it any more.
Here's my lovely family! (I don't have any of just me) This was Christmas 2014 and the last time I was able to make it to my happy place. The PP photographer had me pose as a "star" and my fam are my body guards. LOL I was SOOO cold on this trip. It was getting into the 40's and I was not prepared for it. I was expecting 60's. I had to dress in 2-3 layers every day and do laundry every other day because I was wearing everything I brought. Even with the cold, my kids had to spend time in the pool. They are nuts!
A little about myself: I am a mother of 3. My oldest DS will be 25 in 2 days and is not in the above picture, my middle DD is 19, and my youngest DS will be 17 in 2 weeks. I am currently a full time student, but am hoping to be graduating after this semester. My degree is going to be as a Medical Laboratory Technologist with a certification in Phlebotomy. Technically it will be an associates in applied Medical Science. My last day of class will actually be the day before I fly out for this little ditty. I graduate the weekend after I return.
Exact dates I will be at the World: May 3rd-May 6th (still on the fence, this will probably change to May 7th because of flight cos ts and Disney Math)
I am hoping to fly out EARLY (5:00 am early) on the 3rd and am looking at flying home either really late on the 6th (8-9pm ish) but this will be hard on my family and flights are actually $50 more to fly out on Monday versus flying out on Tuesday. My alternate plan is to stay another day and fly out the 7th in the late morning, early afternoon, so my family won't have to be at the airport so late to pick me up.
This trip is only possible for me because of these 3 wonderful ladies allowing me to be a 4th spoke in the wheel, because full time student = very limited funds! I will have to be very careful with budgeting my money and this will be new to me.
This will also be my first solo trip. In truth, I am a bit scared. I have never traveled alone to Disney. My family is a bit salty about it, which makes me feel a bit guilty. I am celebrating my graduation as well as joining in on this amazing Epic Ladies Dis meet!
I will do my best in helping Steppe make this a much less entertaining report. I think I will refer to it from here on out as the pre-trip UNreport
