So, this is my very first Trip Report ever!!!!! That being said please forgive me for it! Haha. I actually feel like I missed out on so much since this is my first trip to Disney since knowing about Disboards.com. I have been about 10 times but this time....just seems really special! Plus I get to sit around reading about Disney all day with people who LOVE Disney as much as me. Hope I'm not the only one who's family gets tired of hearing about it!! A little bit about me.... The fact that I am ABLE to get extremely excited about something like I do for a Disney Vacation is a huge breath of fresh air for me. I have always been a huge Disney World fan! Went the first time when I was two and have been enchanted with it ever since
A little over two years ago I was 3 months pregnant and my husband, who was a Marine, was killed. (Sad faces not allowed on this post! I am not looking for condolences just giving everyone a little tidbit about me)
Now, I have an AMAZING bubbly almost 2 yr old Princess who is named after her Daddy (Corey) and she gets to have her 2nd Birthday in THE BEST PLACE EVER!!! Disney has been my go to for lifting my spirits. I am no where near being a "runner" but low and behold, last November I did the Wine and Dine Half Marathon to raise money for surviving families of fallen military. I will never look at the roads between Epcot and DAK the same again!! If I had to pick a run to do though that was it!! Here is a pic of my husband and I in Disney (Epcot at the Outpost) in 2011.....those were the days!
and again in MK standing in line for Haunted Mansion
And Here I am with my Mom right before doing the Wine and Dine Half Marathon!!
So, since all of that happening, I actually have a boyfriend now who is pretty amazing and adores my daughter
He is very patient and understanding of the whole situation too. I am thinking that my husband would be grateful for that.
Now on to the Pre-trip Report!

Who?? Well it will be ME...27 yr old Stay at home Mommy who LOVES all things Disney! My daughter, Corey Ann
She will have JUST turned 2 so this is the perfect way to celebrate! I think that she will love it. She LOVES anything on Disney Jr. and screammmms Mickey Mouse whenever she sees him! My boyfriend, Kevin

[/URL][/IMG] He has been to Disney once....when he was 5!!!! He barely remembers it. So, not only am I so excited to bring my baby girl for the first time, but to bring him for BASICALLY the first time and see his reaction! My Dad (Corey Ann's "PawPaw") and my Stepmom (Corey Ann's "Grammy")
The last time they went was in 2002!!! My Dad is an avid Disney fan and loves it just as much if not more than me. I wanted my Dad to get to see Corey Ann's reaction to everything, to get to go to Disney after so long....and maybeeee to have an extra set of hands around with a 2 year old in tow
We will be staying at The YACHT CLUB from Sep 20-27! Six days in the parks with hoppers!
We will also have the DDDP! So there is lots of yummy food in our future! I just can't wait to see many many more faces like this from my baby girl (this was from when I brought her on a tiny train at the local mall)
I think she is going to love the rides that she is able to go on! So, we are actually driving, I have a Traverse that seats 8! So all in the same car
We leave out Friday night (19th) and drive over night coming from Nw Orleans. Should probably get there around 11am. I am going to have to request early check in! We are using Saturday to check in, relax, go to the amazing pool at YC that I hear so much about....and begin our vacation in a relaxing mood
So here are my ADR's.....feel free to critique/ tell me your opinion. I tried not to book 3 meals per day so it gives us a little wiggle room to still feel kind of free and spontaneous. So one meal a day with no ADR may mean we wait sometimes but hopefully Sep won't be that bad. This trip includes a couple of places I have never tried! (decided to branch out)
The day we check in we are having dinner at Cape May Cafe (never been) Day 2: Bfast at Ohana (never been) lunch whenever we feel like it Dinner at Crystal Palace Day 3: Akershus for Bfast (never been) San Angel Inn for lunch Dinner wherever we decide later Day4: Bfast at Rainforest Cafe Lunch at Yak and Yeti Dinner at Le Cellier (never been) Day 5: Bfast at Hollywood and Vine(never been) Lunch at 50s Prime time Dinner wherever we decide later Day 6: Bfast at Cinderella Castle the no other ADRs for the last day and a half. I'm getting hungry just typing that!
So, this will be a very exciting trip!!!! Also, I get the Military Discount for the rooms SO 40%off at YC
I'll take it! What's left? 1. Cannot decide whether or not to buy the Sketchers Go Walks.....any one care to tell me if I should?! 2. I have to set up the stroller rental (renting a BOB type stroller from a company that brings it to the hotel) any suggestions on companies to do that through?!3. Need to Momma's Pre Trip Report so far!! More to come
So! We are LESS than two weeks out at this point! I can't wait!!!! Had my daughter's actual birthday party yesterday and she was given at least 200$ worth of disney gift cards!!! Someone is going to be getting some awesome souvenirs. Starting with a personalized Mickey ear hat! (Every kid needs one of those). We got our magic bands made our FP+ selections and we are just patiently (not to patiently) waiting to hit the road! We are considering driving straight through to DW instead of stopping for breakfast since we may get there round 9 if we do that. Then we can have breakfast in DW! Not sure yet though. We shall see. I already packed my DD2 and she has two outfits for everyday! A little excessive maybe but hey, she won't run out!
