warning: this is a pre-TR about a trip that will hopefully be taking place in december 2010.

yes, that's 389 days away.

and, no, i'm not crazy. at least not in the clinical sense of the word.

but i am taking cue from some of my beloved disfriends who shall remain nameless (cough...jenny...cough) and am just biting the bullet and getting to it.

there will be tons of trip planning details. there will be lots of chatter about things not related to disney. there will be pictures, lots of them. and, seeing as i have over a year before we actually go on our trip, there is bound to be periods of nothingness. :upsidedow

i promise to keep up with this the best i can. i'm a court reporter (as most of you know) and sometimes my work can consume me. but for the majority of the time i am able to make time to swing by the DIS to see what's going on.

********************************************************

MAJOR EDIT!!!!!!

if you are just joining in, this pre-TR has taken on a HUGE change in the form of a pregnancy! this is no longer a pre-TR, but instead is just a fun report to chronicle my pregnancy/new baby. just wanted to make sure whoever is new to this thread is aware of what the heck is going on.

if you missed the big announcement, click here: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=35769178&postcount=1373

and here: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=35780083&postcount=1419

you may now return to the pre-TR that was started way back in november 2009!

*********************************************************

here's a short introduction for you and then i will be back later to give the details on the future trip.

our cast, as of right now, is myself and my husband, ray.

i'm dawn. you probably know this if you are reading this, but if not, nice to have you here! :goodvibes i'm a 33-year-old full-time court reporter, part-time disney travel agent and all-the-time disney dork! ray is a 38-year-old computer nerd, but i think it's cute and he gets paid for it so i can't complain! :laughing:

we are currently taking a disney break. our last trip was in december of 2008 and we aren't planning on going back until december 2010, which is what this pre-TR is all about. our hiatus is taking place because we are trying to start a family. i will be sure to make any *announcements* when the time is appropriate. but for now just keep your fingers crossed for us. ;)

glad to have you all here! looking forward to our little pre-TR party over the next year!!! :woohoo:

Good luck on starting a family! How exciting!!!

Coming over from your other trip reports. Looking forward to your updates.

thanks for coming over!!!

hey, rosie! thanks for coming over. i hear ya - i'm the same way! you know, i will always remember the sweet note you left me when you were the swapper before me in a fridge swap in may of '07 at pop. so sweet!

I followed you over from Jordan's PTR.

thanks for joining in! i may not be as entertaining as jordan but it will still be a fun ride!

I have actually peeked at it a few times and told my husband just yesterday that we needed to sit down and read through your updates... Tonight we are suppose to be talking about where we want to stay so I can get something booked, but he is being a computer nerd... :laughing:
 
I followed you over from Jordan's PTR too. I'm taking my kids December 2010 and it's waaaay too early for my PTR so I'm gonna follow yours! :lmao:
 
You know you are my hero, right??? I can't even keep up one tiny little eenie weenie PTR and here you are starting "the neverending story".

Can I pay you to finish my PTR & do a TR for me :rotfl::rotfl:....I'll just text you a thought every few minutes on our trip and you can make it into a wonderfully witty and enjoyable TR:thumbsup2:thumbsup2

P.S. - It took us 5 years to have Luke and now we have 3 adorable hoodlums. Good things come to those who wait. ;) I know it is stressful, exciting, depressing, fun, etc....but in the end, the blessings are endless :hug:
 
Hey Dawn!

Welcome to the "let's get our PTRs going at an insanely early, still a whole year away club"! Honestly, it's been more than fun than I can imagine, and I"ve been incredibly blessed with the friendships I"ve made over on mine.

I think this year will go by very quickly with this PTR to help pass the time. I know with me, having one makes each week fly by; before I know it, it's time for a "big" weekly update or something!

Looking forward to all the fun!

Liesa
 
We'll try to help your long wait be a little easier.

You are doing better than I would be. I'm already breaking out in hives every time I think about having a week at spring break with no trip. I've got a little Disney devil on one shoulder and Dave Ramsey on the other, and they are both doing their best to get me to think their way.

Just think, if all goes well, this time next year you'll be planning for a rockin' awesome time hanging out at this incredibly beautiful resort.
