Hello and WELCOME!
Well, we havent actually left on our trip yet ..
We leave in 3 days!!! Our flight leaves at 8:10 AM mountain time on March 4th to be EXACT!!
BUT ..
Ive decided to start a little early because Im going to try and attempt a LIVE trip report ! I did one for my last DLR vacation and was able to keep up with it for awhile, ((Had so much fun doing it)) .. but after the 6th or 7th day wasnt able to finish until I retuned home.
Please know that I will try my best to do this live, and I hope that you will all enjoy the ride. The more responses and feedback I get, the more encouraged I am to keep up with it. So please dont be afraid to leave comments, I LOVE hearing from as many people as possible and love meeting new people here on the DIS.
Soooooooo lets get started ......
Introduction of characters
THE BALD
DH (34)(Will) : Our first date was my Senior Prom and weve been inseparable ever since then. We actually visited WDW for the first time together back in 1996 and have been several times since then. Our most memorable would have been when we got married at the POLY in 2001 and when we took DD for the 1st time in 2007. Hes the most hard working man I know and I couldnt ask for a better Dad for my two children.
DS (11 weeks old) (Jayden): My new sweet, lovable baby boy! Hes only been here for 11 short weeks, and I already dont know what I would do without him. This trip has been in the making ever since I found out I was pregnant and Im beyond excited to take him to see all the wonderful sights and sounds of WDW. As of now all he does is sleep, eat, poop and pee. But OHHHHH my GOODNESS, does he have the cutest smile ever. It melts my heart every time I see it. It doesnt matter how bad my day is, once I see him smile and coo at me I forget all my troubles.
THE BEAUTIFUL
DD (3 ½) (Reya): The words that best describe her would be: Lovable, funny, sweet, crazy, cute, compassionate, irritating, beautiful, and inquisitive. ((Just to name a few)) This will be her 2nd trip to WDW, the first time was when she was 18 months old. Back then she didnt know the difference between Mickey Mouse and Goofy, or what a princess was. We had a wonderful time with her and will never forget the memories we took from that trip, but this time its going to be REALLY magical. She FINALLY gets it!! She dresses up as a princess everyday, and LOVES Tinkerbell and Snow Wipe above all else. She also knows all of her Disney Characters and is excited to meet as many as she can! Seeing Disney through her eyes this trip is going to leave me in tears everyday, I know it!
Niece (7) (Valerie): Recently passed the Princess phase and is now into the vampire phase. ((Twilight is all she and her sister talk about)) Val of course is still excited about this trip and all the exciting rides. She lived in Orlando for a summer a couple years back and had an AP back then, so is NO stranger to WDW. She can be really hyper at times and questions EVERYTHING. But I love her dearly and shes going to make a great addition to this trip.

Niece (9) (Breanna): Is a gorgeous and sweet girl. Just like her sister, shes into the Twilight phase. I know shes going to be a big help with the baby on this trip. Shes constantly wanting to hold him or feed him. Shes also wonderful at keeping my DD occupied and being very motherly toward her. Shes very mature for her age and Im excited to have her along for the ride.

THE REST OF US
ME (31) (Deanna): Im a SAHM and loving every second of it. Ive loved Disney since the day I walked through the gates back in 1996. I LOVE being a Mom and think my children are the best things that ever happened to me, and wouldnt change a minute of my crazy life. As far as Disney goes, I love EVERYTHING about it. The sights, the smells, the parades, the fireworks, the rides, the people, the happy children EVERYWHERE! I always shed a tear or two every time I walk down Main Street for the first time on each trip. This year Im prepared for some major waterworks, since Ill be sharing memories with both of my lovely kids. Im excited to make some spectacular, lifelong memories.
(Sorry about the glassy eyes. Was 3 am the morning of my last disney trip))
DSIL (35) (Marsha) : My DHs sister. Luckily weve gotten along since day one of knowing each other. Weve been on a couple of vacations together in the past and get along beautifully, weve NEVER had any problems, so Im not worried about there being any tension on this trip. Shes one of the most laid back persons I know, and my DD loves her like a 2nd Mom. Shes always willing to help me out with anything I need and Im lucky to have her in my life. Shes let me take complete control of the planning of this trip. Hope I wont disappoint.

DBIL (38) (Victor): All I can say about Victor is that he is a wonderful, laid back, one of a kind guy. He treats my kids like one of his own and is my husbands best friend as well as BIL. He HATES the cold weather and is mostly excited to go to Florida to soak up some sun. I think hes more excited then the kids and cant wait to see him act like a kid again.

Have a great trip!!
I can't keep up with the live reports, at least at the beginning, as I will be in the world too 
Wonder if I could convince Victor to shave his head for the trip? 
with lots of fun goodies. ((Ill post everything I got for her on another post))
He is going to have to get over it quick because I have 4 character meals planned for our trip in May!!!
AND we are doing the STAR WARS weekend which will be FULL of characters!!! but he loves STAR WARS so maybe it will be different!!!!
