Post-Trip Report princess: princess: princess: Three Princesses and a June Trip to Disney World

Hello :wave2: to all Newcomers and Welcome Back :welcome: to my pre-trippie readers. If you missed it, here is a link to my pre-trip if you would like to read it: Pre-Trip Report Link

Feel free to comment or lurk and add some humor since I am not very funny…well, maybe funny looking, hahahahahaha :laughing:

So it’s on with the introductions! Let me re-introduce everyone cause we all have “new” names:

Myself (41), “Mommia”, :bride: which was spoken 293572938472938472983 times on this trip, Obviously big Disney Fan and Dis reader, loves horses (and dressage in particular, if you know what that is), children (mine and the ones I teach), born-again believer and not ashamed to say it (however I wont beat you over the head with it). I try to be a good wife (you will have to ask my hubby) and try to balance all aspects of my life. Yeesh, that’s not easy! I have the digital camera and could have taken 100’s of pics if I had more room in memory. I have been to Disney several times as a child, once in college, twice in the 90’s and once last year.

Hubby (41), “Grumpy”, pirate: you’ll see why after reading this TR, Type A personality, great “saver of all money”, devoted, loving hubby and terrific dad! Loves football (Tebow fan), fishing and TV! Great photographer… in charge of video camera on this trip and underwater camera. Disney is just OK with him (I think it’s because he never got to go as a child….a misdemeaner in my book) This will be his 2nd trip.

Elizabeth (9),princess: “Big Princess”, “RahRah”, the best daughter and sister you could ever ask for. She helps me out in so many ways. Gentle, loving, heart of gold! Loves horses (rides too!), like mom, drawing and art work, creative, gets excited about all holidays and vacations, great student, and friend! Also has a disposable camera and lots of quarters/pennies for penny pressing. This is Elizabeth’s 2nd trip since she went when she was 8 months old.

Cinderella (3 almost 4), princess: “Medium Princess”, “Boo bug”, girly girl princess, smart, loves her sisters, takes dance class, trys to be bigger and bigger to keep up with the older girls, great sense of justice and fashion (already!), did I mention she is really smart? Dispenser of big hugs! Makes lots of funny faces! Afraid of characters! This is Cinderella’s 2nd trip, as she and Belle went last summer for two days.

Belle (2.5), princess: “Small Princess”, “Baby”, poor thing will never outgrow that name, people watcher, follower of all big sisters, can be serious, smiling or crying all in the space of 5 minutes, not afraid of anything well accept loud movies, loves dressing up, eating mac and cheese and drinking milk! She cracks me up! Not afraid of characters. This is Belle’s 2nd visit to Disney.

Also, as you will read, my DH’s high school buddy, who lives in Florida, joined us on Day 1. His name is :groom: John.

And that is everyone!!!!



And now a little basic info on the trip. We stayed 6 nights at Port Orleans Riverside and booked through a AAA agent. Orginally we had planned to stay at All Star Sports but it was about $100 more to upgrade through AAA so we did. We also added on Disney Dining plan and 4 days of tickets with no park hopper or waterpark. Although we were going to a water park one day, the cost of the option was more than just paying OOP for the one-day. Of course, we used the Magical Express (but brought our own luggage with us) and Disney transportation around the World. I made all of our ADR’s several months in advance and typed up a general itinerary for each day so we had a plan. As Tour Guide Mike and Unofficial Guide says, its more important to have a plan than to worry about which park which day. We always knew where we were going and what time to be there!
