Great Start, can't wait to read full report when you get back
Thanks for joining in the fun!
You've got to know I'll be on the look out for you since I'll be there while you are. (Our whole trip fits within yours!!) I can't plan a definite meet - too many people in tow, but you know I'll be watching for you - especially Sunday and Monday. I think our plans match yours for part of those 2 days. We did the Keys to the Kingdom in September and loved it. It just makes you feel special to have a guide with a small group. Tell me about the Backstage Magic Tour. I was recently reading a brief mention of Backstage Magic and thought it sounded fun.
I'll try to keep my eyes peeled on Sunday and Monday for someone stalking me.

J/K! I will have (as mentioned previously) large camera, large camera bag (back pack style, with LGMHPC attached), lanyard, & DH with lanyard, stalking CM's with pins.
Oh, I'm excited about Keys to the Kingdom!

Backstage Magic was amazing! We LOVED it! It is the 7-hour tour. We started at Epcot. We toured backstage areas there - American Adventure (which was incredible!), the cast building (which had costume & locker room areas, a computer lab, HR, and a Company D store - too cool!), and I know there was something else, but I can't remember at the moment (This was December of '05). Then we hopped on the bus and went to MGM, where we toured the costume design & creation building that you drive past on the Backlot Tour (Way cool!), and we ate at Mama Melrose (which was served family style and was incredible!). We visited the holiday decoration wharehouse, the florist, the building where they work on the ride cars and audioanimatronics figures. (Extremely cool!) At MK, we went behind the scenes near Main Street, toured the Utilidors, talked about the windows above Main Street, and watched the afternoon parade from a preferred viewing location (DH and I agreed we would rather have spent the parade time touring more, but it was all right.) It was sooooo great! We would like to do it again, but we should do some other tours before we repeat that one. Not to mention the fact that it takes 7 hours, but it was a great experience!
Yay! New TR to read!!!! I'm havign some overlapping trip issues and am making DH a little nutso planning a trip to DL in 2 months and WDW in 9 months....but I can always stop and live vicariously through someone else, esp in an entertaining tr!

SO I want your secrets on how to get DH to move to FL??? I really wanna move down there!!! I am also interested in the tours,we are thinking of trying some of them out this Jan too, which happens to be our 3 year anniv! Can't wait to read more!
Thanks for reading!

Great to see you here! I understand the 2 trips at once thing! Things have been CRAZY at my house the past few nights, what with free dining being announced, my September trip has become partial meet! And DH and I have been scrambling to figure out ADRs. Of course, it is going to affect my ADRs for this trip slightly, so an update WILL be coming soon! I really don't know how I got DH to want to move. I think it was the Disney magic!

Really! Congrats on the 3-year anniversary trip! When are you going?
