OK so I am going to attempt a pretrip report in hopes that it will make the time pass by quickly until our trip.
Our family:
Me-Jennifer-I love all things Disney. I am a pediatric nurse and have always loved what I do. We recently relocated for DH's job and I left my wonderful job at a children's hospital. We now live in a small town and the closest children's hospital is 1 1/2 hours away without traffic! So..I have decided to be a stay at home mom to my 4 wonderful children.

DH-Kevin-He is not a Disney lover! I did not know this until it was to late. He an officer in the Army and also is a marriage and family counselor . He is a great father and husband and tolerates the DIS.

DS-goofy-11-He is my leader-just like his momma!!
DS-pluto-9-He is the joker-he can make any moment funny!
DS-Mickey-8-He is the athlete-plays all day and never runs out of energy!
DD-Tink-4-The princess of the house, very girly and only wears dresses, no pants for her!!

History: We went to Disney in April of 2007 with my mother and brother, stayed offsite and only had 3 days in the parks. It was great to spend time with family but is was not my idea of a great Disney vacation. In March DD and I took a girls only trip. We stayed at CBR for 7 days. It was a great trip! We did everthing that the boys wouldn't do. That meant every character meal that included any princess! Then free dining was announced! I knew this would be the easiest way to get DH to go to disney, FREE FOOD! It worked like a charm!

Plan: Sept 27-Oct 4, All Star Music Suites with free dining!!
 
I have been going back and forth between driving and flying. We live in northern Indiana so the drive would be 19 hours! That is a long time with 4 children!! Flying would be great but finding tickets for all 6 of us for under $1000 might be hard.

I am hoping for some pixie dust for cheap airline tickets!!
 
Today I was again searching for plane tickets and found some on Orbitz for $137 round trip!! So, for 6 of us the grand total was $823!!

I am so happy about the price. We will have to drive an extra hour to another airport but it saved us over $300.

So far this is what I have...
6 plane tickets- Indianapolis to MCO. We depart Indy at 12:32pm and arrive at 3:30.
All Star Music suites-Sept. 27th-Oct. 4th with free dining. I haven't gotten all our TS meals figured out yet. DH and the boys have never ate at any TS places. A few must are Ohana, Chef Mickeys, 1900 Park Fare (must see Alice and Mad Hatter), and Boma

I think Tink is going to do the Alice In Wonderland Tea Party and the boys are going to do a pirate adventure. Kevin and I are hoping for a date night on the 29th because it is his birthday. I am researching childcare options but haven't really decided on anything yet.
 
I don't really have anything that has changed! We went to see Up today. It was really funny. I haven't seen a movie packed like that in a long time! We were there 15 minutes early and the only seats left were all the way in the front. We saw the preview for Toy Story 3, my boys are really excited about that and they had a poster in the lobby for new princess movie. Tink will be asking everyday if the new princess movie is out yet! Hopefully soon I will have my ADR's planned. I can't make them until June 29th but I am trying to see what everyone wants.

This is my wish list...
Boma
Chef Mickey's
Ohana
Park fare breakfast
coral reef

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
