Watch out Cinderella! There is a new Princess coming to town!

[Hooks Tink]

It's official! My AMAZING husband just gave the go ahead to start planning our little princess' very first trip to THE WORLD! So very excited and a thousand plans running through my head! At this point I know absolutely nothing except we are going back after almost 4 years away ! Our time frame is September/October and that is a completely new time of year for me to explore the World! I will be back soon with introductions to my lively cast of characters and I am looking forward to getting all kinds of input and awesome ideas from my fellow Disney Fanatics !

Disney holds a special place in my heart. It helped my DS cope and focus when my ex-husband and I divorced, it has been home to many mother/daughter trips for my mom and I, my lifelong BFF & I took our sons together one year for Christmas, it was the magical place that my now husband, his daughter, my son and I experienced our first "family" vacation and above all it is the place that we celebrated our engagement! Then as it so often happens real life interrupted Fantasyland and almost 4 years has passed since we have been to our Happy Place! A lot has happened since that last trip in December 2010! April 2011~DH and I were married , June 2011~Found our Forever Home , September 2011~DD2 was conceived, November 2011~FINALLY closed on our Home , May 2012~My very own Princess was born ! After DD2 was born it was quickly decided that a trip to Disney was in our future but not until she was at least 2 years old...well its time to start the planning since she turns 2 in May!
Me -I am a proud SAHM and wife of a Firefighter/Paramedic. I also work part time from home as a residential and commercial construction estimator. My love for Disney has been lifelong and I have too many trips to count in my past! I love discovering new things about Disney! I have crazy OCD that my husband thinks is "cute"! My husband spoils and indulges my crazy planning and then once we arrive he seems to "misplace" the plans ! I love scrapbooking but I am seriously behind (like Disney trip from 2008 behind)! My goal is to be caught up before we leave on this trip..that is only 3 BIG trips to do and 1 to finish) My husband and I are compared to Tink and Captain Hook because I am 5ft 1in and he is 6ft 3in and our last name is Hook! Favorite Ride:Walk around World Showcase !
DH -He is a Firefighter/Paramedic who does everything for his family! He had only been to WDW once (on a HS band trip) before we went in June 2010 ! He loved the World with these EXCEPTIONS: June=Too Hot, lines are too long, Why do we have to have reservations to eat every where and can't we just go with the flow and not make Ressies ,and Honey why are people running over me with their Strollers? He asked that the next trip be different. So we went in December with no dining reservations, no plans and he loved it with these EXCEPTIONS:Why can't we eat at The Castle, Whispering Canyon, Donald's Breakfast, Luau, or O'hanas ? He's cute isn't he? I was going to explain but my then 7 year old DS said "Because you told mom NO RESERVATIONS which means HOT DOG or HAMBURGER in WDW! Get it, Got it, Good!" Then DS promptly sat down on the curb on main street and proceeded to eat his hot dog. Cutest moment ever! Favorite Ride: Star Wars.
DD (12) -My beautiful stepdaughter who has informed me that she is no longer my little princess to dress up for the upcoming trip!She went to the World for the first time in June 2010. She loves Disney and as long as she gets to eat at O'hana's Breakfast and ride Tower of Terror she's happy. She has already stated that she wants to go to Universal this trip! Traitor!! Favorite Ride:Tower of Terror
DS (10) -My darling son...who never sleeps! He loves Disney and I'm pretty sure always has ! He never wants to vacation anywhere else and always has to go to the Disney store at the mall! He can tell you the best way to navigate transportation from anywhere in the world...he's been trained well ! He already has plans to do the College Program and has declared he will NEVER go to Universal! Favorite Ride:Tower of Terror
DD2 (19 mths) -My Baby...She is the true example of a princess. She is all curls and big blue eyes! Minnie is her character obsession and Tinkerbell & Merida are her Princess obsessions! I have tried to tell her Tink isn't a princess and she tells me to "hush"...so Tink is a princess to her and I'm ok with that!. Favorite Ride: She's never been but I am going to predict Pirates or Peter Pan.

Pictures to follow in next post!
