For those of you who followed my PTR, I am SO sorry I was so slow in starting this! I hope some of you will still read along!
Just a quick intro to get started.
Who:
ME: 25, I'm a stay-at-home mom to my babies, which makes me happier than anything in the world.
DH: 25, soon to be 26, drives a truck for FedEx, probably more disney obsessed than the rest of us put together. He's the best dad I've ever met and spends every moment he's not working with the kids.
DS: AKA J.J. or Jay, 3 years, 11 months on our trip. He's a crazy fireball of energy, this one. He knew he loved disney before we got there. And he was right. He loves Chip and Dale. A squeak under 40 inches, to DH's disappointment.
DD: AKA Sydney or Syd, turned 18 months on our trip. She's trouble. She's a serious climber, and the most stubborn person I've met. Which comes into play. She loves pink, and the princesses. She calls every one of them "Rella" like Cinderella.
Grandma: My mom came with us for the first half of our trip. She's 60, and likes disney, but not like the rest of us. She wasn't able to come on any of our past trips, so this was her first time seeing disney with the babies.
What: We were going to WDW, of course! Facelessly, because we have some people to protect the children from. But we took over 1000 faceless pictures, so this won't be a picture-lite trip report.
Where: Staying at Pop Century.
Why: Well, to go, obviously. The brief version of "we deserved it" is that it's been a rough two years since our last trip. I got pregnant with Sydney because we knew my dad had cancer (he had surgery and we believed they got it all) and I knew that cancer often comes back, so I wanted him to have as much time with as many of his grandchildren as possible. My pregnancy with Sydney was difficult (I'm always high risk, but I started bleeding with her at 17 weeks) and my dad died 6 weeks before she was born...she was born on what would have been his 64th birthday. We moved in with my mom a month after she was born because my mother was caring for my grandmother, who had alzheimers and dementia, couldn't walk alone, and needed help with pretty much everything, so we moved in to help her. Plus, to be honest, we didn't want her to be lonely. This past September, Sydney had surgery for a cyst (at 15 months), and my Grandmother died. So, we were ready for a vacation!
When: October 28-November 7th.
Thank you for reading along!

This one has been a long time in coming, eh Lex?? 
Can't wait to read all about it! 
It's all about the thrill of the climb. Needless to say, the little table excited her. So, I left the kids to go crazy with Grandma, and got my gate check ticket for the stroller.
Not volunteering with children, sorry. Finally some wonderful people got off, and we were on our way. There was something up with the video, it was REALLY hard to hear. But that's okay. Our bus first stopped at Caribbean Beach, but it was a fast stop. Then, we were next.
90's, pool view, first floor. Beautiful. Grandma also had the woman at the desk book her a taxi so she could go to church on Sunday. She only booked the way there, and my mom wanted both ways, but she went to concierge later to fix that.
Your kids are SO adorable! Wish I had scheduled a Dis meet on our trip - it would have been fun to meet someone again.
