Ok so let me start off by saying that this was not a planned trip at all. This only became a planned trip on Sunday, August 2nd, When my husband announced that he would like to take me to Disney for my Birthday. Both my DH and myself have Birthdays in August. His is on the 15th and mine is on the 20th. How lovely, I know. I first brought the idea of doing Disney maybe a month and a half ago to the table. Back in May My family and his family all did one big family vacation. Needless to say I didn't get my Disney fix in May. We bought the Play three ways ticket(I don't know if that is the exact name) we did one park a day and we had three days. We only used two days and decieded to do some other stuff while we were down there. So we have 1 ticket let over and the decieding factor was going to be if you could get the fun card. I called Disney yesterday and asked if we would get the fun card with our tickets we previously purchased. They said yes, we said Great. So now here I am, we are leaving on the 19th after work and I have done nothing.

Before I move on Let introduce the cast of Characters that will be on this trip.

Sara (Myself): Disney lover from the beginning. My family is very much in love with Disney and we live in North Florida so we go all the time. Yes, we are very fortunate. I will be celebrating my 22nd birthday at the world and my husband will be celebrating his 21st. My Husband and myself have been together almost 4 years and just recently got married last Novemeber. Thats right you guessed it, We had a Disneymoon that was amazing!! I work full time and am going to school to be a funeral director.

Chris (Disney Husband): As I stated before my husband will be 21 and we will be celebrating a late birthday for him as his is on August 15th. When we first met I didn't know how the whole Disney thing would go over, but after our first trip together, I knew it was Fate! We took a trip in August of 2006, August of 2007, both for our birthdays. We then took an 8 day vacation in May of 2008 and loved it. We stayed at POP and had such a blast. We did everything, several times. We then went back in November of 2008 for our Disneymoon. We had such an amazing time. This last adventure in May was with both Family. That was a lot of fun. Enough jabbering about that, My Husband is an amazing guy who I love very dearly and it makes it so much better that he loves Disney too. We talked about DVC in our near future and our very excited. My Husband is an A/C Technician with a globally known HVAC Company and is planning to go back to school to be an engineer. In our spare time we like to go to Disney(obviously) and to hang out with our amazing Snauchzer.

We will not be staying on Property because we waited to long and everything is practically booked up. I think I will be making us a ressie at the Crystal Palace as we both have never eaten here. I know we are going to do The magic kingdom one day ..and that's all I've got so far. Pathetic, I know.

This is my first Pre-Trip Report and I plan on doing a short Post Trip Report as we will only be down there for 4 days. Anyways Questions, Comments, concerns are all welcome, and I thank everyone in advance for Reading.

Sorry, I know I've been MIA this past week. I have done quite a bit. I went to see Kenny Chesney on Friday and went to Gainseville on Sunday. So that is why I have been lagging. I want you to know I did a big long entry and then it just went PFFF.....just like that it was gone. Anyway where I left off was I hadn't planned anything and we are leaving on August 19th, which is 9 days away..that's right people I SAID 9 DAYS. I always get stressed out when we go out of town and when we have to stay off property. I get all worked up when I have 6 months to plan a trip so I am sure you can imagine what it has been like for my poor husband with only 15 days to plan. I am very paticular about Hotels. I don't know what it is about them, but I have to find just the right one. When we stay on Disney property I don't have to worry about this, so needless to say we like staying on property. Anyway we waited and waited and got a great deal on Expedia on a new Radison hotel in the Lake Buena Vista area. It is almost a brand new hotel and all great reviews..it is close to everything, the parks, DTD and other non-Disney things like the premium outlets, which by the way has the best Coach Outlet ever. When we were on our last Disney Vacation back in May of this year I got this great bucket Coach purse that was originally 210 dollars but it was 40% off with an additional 10% off in store coupon and after taxes it was 55.00 dollars, anyway enough Jabbering on about that. We got our tickets, we got our hotel, I have asked for Work off. I don't think I have worked on my birthday in 3 years. I hate working on my birthday So anyway were Chugging along. We plan to drive down after work on Aug. 19th, so that will probably put us down there about 8 or so...We will probably go to Downtown Disney for Diner and to shop. Thursday, August 20th we are going to Disney for my Birthday!!!! I am excited about the gift card, and just being at Disney!! On Friday August 21st we are going to probably visit all the non disney things like the outlets and the Bass Pro Shop, which we got to everytime we come down. We plan to take our time going back home and get there probably Late afternoon or early evening. Then we have Saturday and Sunday all to ourselves. OHH I am so excited talking about it. Not to mention my husbands birthday is this Saturday..he will be 21 which will make it even better!! I will leave you with a couple of very old Disney Pictures from our firzst trip together wayyy back in early 2006.:cutie::yay::cheer2:
