.....I'VE BEEN HOLDING OUT ON YOU GUYS!
So, my old readers will remember that my last PTR, which was my first, all started because of a binder. I had a binder to organize all the reservations, etc. for our trip. I later find out that there is an entire crew of people who are as obsessed with their binders as I am. Some are worse than I am which makes me feel better. I met Jordan on a thread somewhere talking about his binder and that is how I found his PTR. After reading it, I decided that I had to do a PTR too. I had not even thought about doing one before that.

My trip binder has made it through 2 trips now and is starting to show signs of wear. So, what do you think the 2nd thing I did was after DH told me to book another trip?? You got it.....I got a new binder!! I've been secretly filling it with things for our new trip while finishing up my other TR.

Friends new and old, I present to you my new binder.........

Ok, dates.... We are going to the World again From May 3-8th. We are staying 5 nights at Port Orleans Riverside. This is HILARIOUS to me because DH and I always swore we would never stay at the Port Orleans resorts because we are from Louisiana. What's the point of taking a vacation from Louisiana to be in Louisiana??? Just seemed silly to us. Well, being as though this is a make up trip, which means it is our 2nd trip in one year. We had to make some cut backs. We took off a day, and dropped our resort price from the Villa's to Moderate. You'd be amazed how much of a difference in price this has made from last time to this time. Anyhoo, I wanted to try CBR but there are conventions going there and frankly I couldn't find very many reports on it that said it was clean. They all complained about how dirty it was. There are 2 things I like in a resort or hotel. CLEAN and QUIET. I compared the PO resorts with Coronado Springs and decided the PO's were prettier and seemed cleaner & more quiet. I originally booked the French Quarter but after seeing Scottny's pictures of FQ and Riverside, it was clear that Riverside was probably the better choice. I called and switched everything over to Riverside.

Nice Binder! I'll have to post a picture of my pathetic WDW folder on my PTR. It's very sad compared to all of the beautiful binders I have come across on the Dis.

Can't wait to hear about POR! That's one of our choices for part of our stay next year.

 

[Native NYer]

I love your binder! You have inspired me to go to Staples, buy a binder, and get crackin'. Right now all of my Disney info is in a folder and it's a mess.

I'm curious about your ADRs. But I'm sure there coming soon

Hey Girl!!

Glad you came over

 

[Trentmom]

Love your new Binder!!!

I love all the different Mickey Mouses you have on it..

So cool


Speaking of Louisiana, I was telling my mom(Disneymommom), about your Pre-trip and how you were now on Our pre trip report and I mentioned you were from Louisiana, too.

She was excited and asked what part. She lives in Dry Prong. Have you ever heard of that town or city? Not familiar with LA at all can ya tell


Now back to your report...POR is awesome...My dh and I stayed there on our Honeymoon in 98(when it was called Dixie Landings). It is gorgeous and so peaceful. There are bike rentals, boat rentals, fishing, etc....It is Pure Heaven


Can't wait to hear what is next

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Love the new binder, I am going to be putting together a trip planning binder right soon. Right now I just have scribbles in a notebook and loose papers.

There are binders much better than mine on the Dis. Mine serves it's purpose and looks a little pretty. I don't get too fancy with it.

You should do one! It makes you feel even more excited about your trip.

Thanks about the binder!
Dry Prong...isn't that in the sticks?? Sorry, not laughing at her. "the sticks" just cracks me up. Yes, I'm a moron sometimes.
It's up there north of Alexandria, isn't it? Never been there but I think I know where it is. I'm down south.
I'm really excited about POR. It seems really pretty. I plan on us renting one of those surry bikes. We were supposed to do that at OKW last time but as you can imagine, I was not in the mood to go peddling around the resort.

Thank you.
You should post a pic and show us when you get your binder done. Binders are fun! (yes, i'm a nerd)

You are totally right and she would agree with you..she lives in the sticks for sure

Yep, that does sound about right from what she tells me

Yeah, I could imagine the last thing you felt like doing on your last trip was riding a bike

 

[jordanyosh]

I have binder envy...........

I think it's even better than the last one......

HAPPY EASTER

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

The binder is great! Wish I could do stuff like that, but I'm just not crafty like that. No organizational skills, either.

You'll LOVE Port Orleans Riverside. It is beautiful! There's a lot to do there, too. I think its the better choice of the two.

Can't wait to talk food now.

 

[Native NYer]

Thank you.

That's going to be my new project! I have to go to Michaels and get some crafty Disney things!

 

[scottny]

the binder looks great. My pics made you switch, I hope they don't get me in trouble.

No, you will love it. Do you know if you want the Mansions or AB? Or did I miss that.

Too funny.
Yeah, no bikes for me! This time....IT'S ON!!

Well, you know what cures binder envy don't you?? Booking another trip for the same time as me and Winkers!!
Thanks, I think I like this one better too.

HAPPY EASTER

Happy Easter, Rosie and Everyone!!

Can't wait to talk food now.

Aww, I bet you could do it!
I'm thinking we will really like POR.
Speaking of food.....I'm hungry!! It's like 10:30pm over here and I'm starving!

That's going to be my new project! I have to go to Michaels and get some crafty Disney things!

WOOHOOOOO!!! GO GIRL!!!
You have to post pics when you have it all together!

Thank you.
No it won't get you in trouble. I really had been thinking about it and your pics were sort of that last push in that direction.
I didn't request a certain building or anything. I'm not sure which one I'd want. The only request I added was top floor. I hate hearing people walking (or running or jumping) around above me when I'm trying to sleep.
Comparing Mansions and AB, is there any differences inside the rooms?

Love it. Added it to my favorites so when I get in the mode of plannin' it'll be ready to go! I am trying to decide if I want a full size one or a pocket sized one I don't wanna be carryin' this thing around....

 

[winkers]

Binder envy seems to be a new phenomenon.

I wonder if there's medication for that?

I think it's time to upgrade my folder to a Binder.

 

[Sooze]

I'm here Blue!!! So happy to get on board early and hear all about your plans!

LOVE the binder... must look into that thread....

Happy Easter!
