We need a little Magic - First Family Trip - August 2012

[Rayvnn]

Hi!

I have never written a pre-trip planning report, so bare with me.

Cast of Characters -

My name is Leslie. I am 39yo and a SAHM. I have been to DL numerous times. I have been to WDW 6 times.

I am married to David since 1996. David is 36yo and works as a Correctional Officer. He has been to DL 3 times and WDW 2 times.

Ryan is my eldest son. He is 4yo. Ryan is mild/moderate Autistic with SPD. He is also allergic to cow's milk. He has been to WDW once when he was 7 months old.

Liam is my youngest son. He is 17 months old. He is highly allergic to cat/dog dander and egg. I have an epi-pen for him. He has never been to WDW.

We will be taking our 1st family vacation to WDW on August 26th - August 31st. We are planning to stay at the Pop. I need to make the reservations soon. I will be doing that this weekend.

Our oven went out this past week and we had to get a new one. There went our deposit for the Disney trip. Now, we have to wait until tax return gets here.

I can't wait to plan everything. We are going to have the deluxe dining plan.

Awe! Am I first?

My YDD appears to have an Egg Allergy! We go to the allergist at the end of the month. I'm nursing, and she reacts whenever I eat eggs or even anything that has egg baked in it. Good thing the World is allergy friendly!

You are 1st and only! Liam's egg allergy seems pretty manageable so far.

Joining in.

My little guy has PDD-NOS and verbal apraxia. We love vacationing at Disney. They make it really managable for our kids.

We will be there around the same time

We went yesterday and booked our vacation. The TA said the reservation lady on the phone told her that they are getting lots of business right now for August and September and FD is highly unlikely. I am not giving up hope. I booked POR, but I might change to POP if FD doesn't come along.

Wahoo! August seems to be getting pretty booked! We are going August 20-30 at POP! Hopefully the CM your TA spoke to is misinformed, we currently booked with QSDP, but may upgrade to DDP if a free dining offer comes along....Are your kids good to sit in resturants? mine is older and hates sitting still! this is what makes me think qsdp may be the best route

My kids can sit for about 30 minutes or so. I am taking them places to prepare them.

Big change in plans. We used tax return to pay off bills this time instead of a trip, very adult like. We won't be going to WDW until next year now. Ugh, but good. We will go in late March/early April.

We are back to the planning stages. We are planning a trip for Early June 2013.
