Welcome to another fun filled Murphy Family LIVE trip report!
Those of you who havent vacationed with us LIVE before, WELCOME!!! 
Basically what I do is try to update you throughout the trip on any interesting things that happen, as well as provide lots of photos and info about the parks and our resort. Also I love to answer questions, so feel free to ask anything along the journey! 
DH and I have two boys (Connor age 11 and Nic turning age 13, BIRTHDAY trip for him) and we are all major WDW fanatics. This trip my Mom is also coming along with us and she is in need of a vacation in the worst way. Sadly her husband, my step-dad, passed away from ALS in April, after a very difficult 2 year battle.
He was only 59. So this trip will be bittersweet and emotional. Im sure we will all be picturing him on his last trip to WDW, he loved taking tons of pictures, was always ready to ride anything and everything, I will never forget him screaming like a girl on Expedition Everest, and he loved ice cream from Main Street
so we will have to have some in his honor. Im hoping Mom can have fun and really enjoy her trip with us. She deserves it more than anyone I know.This trip we will be staying at the Beach Club in a standard view room on the club level. This will be our 7th time staying at the YC/BC resort since our first stay in 2002. We love Stormalong Bay and the entire Boardwalk/Epcot area, so we are very excited to arrive this Saturday.
We have ADRs for dinner each night: Raglan Road, Sci-Fi, Ohana, Nine Dragons, Via Napoli, Cape May, and Crystal Palace. I always try to choose a mixture of different things so it should keep things interesting!

As you can tell we dont usually travel to WDW in the summer. In fact the last time we did was in 2008 for our 10th wedding anniversary trip without the kids. Im hoping it isnt too hot for them.
Also hoping we dont have too much rain! That way we can cool off at SAB in the afternoons!Ive done all the preliminary packing in my mind! Not the actual packing yet since everyone is using their summer wardrobe this week. I like to make lists of what we need and then just wait and pack everything the day before. We fly Southwest which allows us plenty of bags, which is good for me because I tend to pack TOO MUCH!
Of course Im not thinking we will need anything besides shorts, t-shirts, and bathing suits. I think its safe to skip long pants and sweatshirts this time of year. I bought some clear spraying sunscreen for everyone, hoping it works well, and Ive got our ponchos out to pack just in case! Digital camera is charged and ready to go, our itinerary binder is printed and color coded like the true geek I am. LOL 
Everything is ready to go, now we just have to wait a couple more days! 
The boys start school two days after we get home so Ive already registered them, got their school supplies, and backpacks out and ready. Im trying to eliminate as much work as possible because I know we will be exhausted and in full PDD (post Disney depression) when we get back!
I hope you guys are all ready for some fun!!!!
Let me know if you have any questions!!!
I'm so glad you are coming along with us VIRTUALLY!!!
So.....HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
