This is the first time I've attempted a trip report. Sorry if I don't go about this correctly....
This will be our first trip to WDW with all 5 of us.
This is me and DH. I've finally brought him over to the dark side
He's now a big fan of disney. I think he's actually become a bigger fan than me. Hard to believe.
DH:
Works - Fulltime40+ hrs a week and Partime 17 hrs a week
School - graduated in dec 09 and is now getting ready to start his MBA in sept.
Fav Toon - Mickey and the Villians
Fav Park - Magic Kingdom
**Proud cancer surviour of 10 years**
Me:
Works - Fulltime - I have my own home daycare of 12 kids M-F
Partime - Manage 17 income base apartments and run 3 kids youth clubs
School - no college just lots of classes for daycare training hours - more than I'm required to take
Fav Toon - Stitch and Pixar Characters
Fav park - Hollywood Studios
The kids are going with all 3 of them!
DS 3
DD 5
DD 10
They don't know we're going and we'll surprise them the night before our trip. We're flying out of Omaha and staying in the same suite we did the night before our honeymoon. We'll order room service and have them put something on the cart or plates to tell the kids. Need some ideas how do get the best out of this still trying to figure it out. My DH has a cancer check up the day before so that's why we'll be staying in Omaha the night before. We'll probably go to the zoo also to pass sometime but don't want to do too much. Rest and take it easy...
We are the crazy family that wears matching shirts. In past trips to WDW I've had custom tops made for the girls. However last year when we went to DL we brought our DS along. We had matching shirts made and it went over great. Didn't have to figure out what to wear and easy to find us in a crowd. We also had lots of people comment on them. I'm sure some thought we were a little crazy but oh well we're happy doing it!
We were not suppose to be taking a trip this year. We went June 2006 WDW, Dec/Jan 08 WDW - no kids, Aug 2008 WDW, June 2009 DL, and I went with my sister Aug 2009. I claimed I would not ask for this year know we'd be going in Sept 2011. However....tax return came and we were shocked! I knew there were better things to do with it but couldn't help myself!!! So we booked in March. Then free dinning came out and saved us enough money that we upgraded to the Comtempory! Never thought we'd be able to stay at a deluxe but we're going to on this trip!!
We are SOOOO excited I can't sleep at night. I have my packing list made and slowly collect things we need. AKA...baggie of AAA batteries, custom made shirts, rain ponchos, etc...you get the point. I have a drawer in the closet I have started as my packing drawer. I know I'm a nut sorry can't help myself.
I have everything figured out for our schedule during the trip. I'll post soon need to reprint it off the other computer since I have made a few changes to my hard copy. (something I keep doing ..I tell myself I'm cleaning up the errors...I'm just a control freak)
