[POOHDRMR]

Hello all this is my first pre-trip or even trip report ever.I love reading them and since I feel like a cat waiting for a mouse to come by to pounce on reading new posts on my regular forums i thought maybe I should use my time to start my own report that I always swear I'll get to when we get home(Just like the scrapbook )Plus my hubby just got me a laptop for an early b-day gift so now I can sit in the comfy dent on my couch in front of the tv instead of the uncomfortable computer desk I used to.Anyway the trip is Sept21-30 free dinning at Pop Century.This is our second time at free dinning.Here is the cast:

DW(me)32,(33 next week ) SAHM have always had love for disney-still have my winnie the pooh crib blanket from when I was a baby that I sleep with everynight-it's only because I sleep on my side and if i don't hold something in my arms then I get a stiff neck-that's my story and I am sticking to itMy first trip to the world was at 12 with my grandparents for 1 day(had no control over it back then)then my next trip was at 22 with my then db now dh,again at 23 for disneymoon and at 24 for 1st anniversary.We took a break and then went when my dd turned 3 my parents took the whole family away in Sept of 04,again Dec of 05 and then me and my sister and husands and kids went for free dining of 06.I don't do many rides due to motion sickness and just plain chickenness!But I love the rest of the experience and often dream of living in the castle.

DH-35(turns 36 a week after my b-day and the day before we leave)Has had a back and forth relationship with the world.Loves rides. Loved probaly the first 2 times he went but I think he was kind of bored with it by the 3rd time in three years.Was excited to go back for our dd first trip at 3 and did I mention that it was a free trip for us cause the parents paid for the entire thing and whats not to love about free.Next time not as happy but again it was being paid for by my parents and it was before christmas so it was alittle different.He works hard and recently changed jobs and now has a long comute. He is the kind of guy that if you tell him the plan and then you want to stray from said plan it can become a problem.( Ex: him-what are we gonna do Saturday? me-Um I need to go to the mall to get daughter shoes him-ok.Sat comes we go to mall I wanna go to other store him-I thought we were just gettin shoes? me-ya but that shirt is cute I wanna get your kid some clothes. him-I thought we were gonna be fast I didn't know it was gonna be an all day thing. me-so forget it I'll come back.him-no its fine you just said that we were just gettin shoes go do what you need.)After 9 years of marriage I am relizing not to give him specific details on anything because if I need to change them I will have to hear it so now we sound like this Him-what we doing Saturday? me I need to do a bunch of errands we need alot of stuff. him-ok. Then Saturday comes he says we have errands to do all day and when I say well we only have to do this and this then he is happy cause its not more than he thought.This tactic will be used at the world tis year too after a problem last year that leads to the tittle of this trip report.

DD-6 The love of my life.75%attitude(don't know where she gets it from )Loves disney talks about it all the time to anyone who will listen.She pretty much just talks all the time.Even in her sleep as my parents learned on our trips together!Favorite character is Tinkerbelle and this summer has become obsessed with Hannah Montana.Also learned the meaning of sarcastic recently and loves to point it out when she hears me or her father answer one another that way EX: husband-I can't find the mayo me-top shelf him-I looked it not there me-(going to fridge and grabbing it right away)I can see how you couldn't find the big white jar hiding behind the slice of kraft singles cheese. daughter-she's being sarcastic dad!
I still have 3 more to introduce but I think i'll leave that for next time.

so here is the rest of the cast


DSis-(just turned 40)She is a small child when it comes to Disney.The first one up at the crack of dawn ready to hit the parks.(meanwhile at home you can't get her up) Went as a child while our mother was pregnant with me and apparently I made it a not so good trip for all involved and they left early.I think this was the being our sibling bickering!! Didn't go back untill the trip with my parents in 04.She has 2 sons one is 20 and the other is 6.

BIL(37)Shares my husbands feeling on disney-been there done that but he is very lets say frugal(even though it's easier to say c-h-e-a-p)So he loved all the free trips from my parents and needed alot of pursuasion for last years trip.Yes it was free food but he still had to pay for everything else.Sister won that argument and they went.

DN(6) My nephew is special needs.He does not handle being sick very well and often ends up in the hospital for a simple cold.Thank goodness he has been healthy for all 3 trips so far and he enjoys most of the rides-nothing to loud or fast.Favorite ride is it's a small world(of course because it makes the rest of us wanna scratch out our ears after the first ride)Likes the characters that do not wear the big costumes-like the princesses.Can handle Mickey near him but all the rest make him throw up(litteraly anything he doesn't like especially the feel of smooth things makes him gag and throw up)He cries when he gets off the rides he likes.It has been a long road for my sister but I know it brings her great joy to see him happy in the world and having fun like everyone else.

So both me and my sister really had alot of beggin with the hubby's last year to go back but the women prevailed and off we went to Pop Century for 7 days free dinning.We arrived and followed our usual agenda-MK first full day so the kiddies get their rides(and I my castle)We were atending the halloween party later in the week.My husband asks me what the plan for the week was again andI tell him MK,Epcot,Mgm,AK in morning hallo party at night-all is fine with this cause really he already knew all this. Then it happened -Sat and Sunday we will probably just go back to MK and let the kids go back on their favorites.This is where husband responds"Were not going to Magic Kingdom 4 times you never told me that"Loud enough that my sister in the next room hears and I can hear her laughing.He was not a happy camper because this was suppsed to be a relaxing trip-so we said to get them to agree to come.So we told the boys they didn't have to do anything they didn't want to and they could hang around the hotel and we would take the kids to the parks.And they did sometimes and they went to watch some kind of game at ESPN (don't remember if it was foot to ball or bat to ball but whichever they loved it)Can you tell I don't fancy the sports?They came to the park when they felt like it and we had fun and they had fun and sometimes we all had fun together.They really had fun being able to try new restaurants and food and one day while taking a relaxing swim in the pool my BIL says if they offer free dining again we can come back. Husband still happy from his favorite minnie bake shop cookies that counted as a snack agrees we will come back too. And so was the begining really of this trip in the waiting cause as soon as we all knew here on the boards that free din was coming back I priced it out and we reminded them that they said .
This time we got them to go for 9 nights.
