we're DRIVING? With 2 KIDS UNDER 2?! WDW or INSANITY here we COME (INSANITY)

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

YES, you read that correctly! DMM and her DH have lost their minds! We have decided to drive to THE WORLD with our 2 kids! OH NO! So Let's get ready to LEAVVVVVEEE!!

Yup we leave late late late wednesday night, may as well be Thursday!


I would like to tak this time to Welcome you to the first instalment
of the DisneyMommyMichelles take on THE MOUSE!!!!

For some reason, this trip took waaaay too long to arrive! i did many
countdowns, had many tickers, planned meets and yet, it just never got
here fast enough!!! TO show you how much i wanted this, i began my trip
report in my WIndows NotePad on June 29th!!!!! Now am I a dork or what?
Don't answer that!!!

First let's get the basics down!

The Who-->
The Cast of Characters

Me--Michelle--(DisneyMommyMichelle)--Ready to take on the WORLD!!
I was pregnant last year and couldn't ride anything!! So i'm making
up for it! BABY SWAP HERE I COME!! I've been a long time lover of
the WORLD and love our trips! We were even married there!!!

DH--Salvatore--(AutumnsDisneyDaddy)--Bring on the Food and Wine
festival!! this guy can eat AND drink! A serious lover of the FREE
DINING! DH fell in love with the WORLD on his first visit (if you don't
count his inutero visit!) in 2002 with MOI! i introduced him to
all this greatness and he got HOOKED! Also Dh is the main driver on
our expedition!! (with DH behind the wheel, we could charge admission
to ride in the car, because that is my idea of a thrill ride!)

DD--Autumn 20 months---And ready to see Mickey!! This is her
second trip and she makes us watch last years video way too often!

DS--Gabriel 9 months old and just learning to walk, NO STROLLERS
please!!! First trip going on here and he doesn't know what to
expect!

And last but not least:
Our Car 2006 Honda Civic-->We sooo wanted to take the van, but
gas price$ really made that decision for us! no problem our car here
had a DVD player and a GREAT sound system! Not only that it's decked
out DIsney Style!! Will you see us on the road? Silver Car, with MGM
license plate frame on the back and Mickey plate on the front! no
antennae toper since Hondas don't have em!! grr...
The back window had a sign that said: Follow us to Walt Disney World!!

The What-->Our Crazy Family Trip to the WORLD! 1 car, 3
strollers, 2 kids and LOTS of energy!!

The Where--> POP Century, the greatest resort on property!!
Requested 70s section first floor!! Let's see where we end up.

The When--> September 28th-October 7th**Free Dining**WOOHOO!!
2 of these days were spent behind the wheel, driving for our very first
time!! Our original trip was booked for November and we got suckered in
by FREE DINING!!

Before we begin, have i mentioned that we were there with FREE DINING?
okay, just making sure!

Keep you hands and feet inside of the tram at all times, because this
here is the WILDEST trip in the report on the BOARD! (at least i'm
hoping it is!!)(it most likely won't be, but please humor me!!)


Photos in the next post!!

Let's ROLL!!!

Alright, off to get another box together to SHIP OUT!!

YES, i said ANOTHER! this is box number 2!!! we have toooo much junk!!! that's okay a lot of it is NOT coming back with us!! i will explain later!! DH is giving me the evil eye!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Thanks Al & KAte's MOM!!!

okay i really have to go!! i'm supposed to be looking for the tape gun, UPS is coming in the AM!!

What is a tape gun?????

 

[horsegirl]

Hay Michellle! Looking forward to your trippie. CUTE pixies of the pixies and the rents....


Love hondas. We have the Odyssey. You'll do great.

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Hi Horsey thanks for stopping by!!!!

------

Alright, the MIL is gone and the tape gun was never found, so I had to run and get some packing tape. So.... 50$ later i made it out of Wal-MArt and almost forgot the tape AGAIN!!!

The box is ready to go!!

So the 2 boxes of stuff we shipped down is all stuff that will be staying in WDW. Since it's diapers and formula and wipes and I also started that Window Decorating thread where we decorate our POP windows and then at the end of our stay box it up and pass the decorations to another DISer!! so YAAAAY no extra stuff coming home!!




The kids have picked out the toys they need for the trip and we have too many DOra & Diego videos, i think we can handle it!!!

Have a great trip! DW says to be glad that your kids are still in diapers...The trip is much longer when you have to stop for potty breaks every 30-45 minutes, and we only need to get there from GA.

 

[Magic2000]

Have a great trip - can't wait to "Read All About It"!!! Your kids are adorable!!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Thanks everyone !!!

-------------------

Dh just got back from picking up our road snacks and energy drinks (i'm addicted!!!) and of course milk and all that jazz!! We've NEVER driven before, so i am getting a bit nervous about that!!

---------------

all our bags out packed......

---------------

Now all we have left is to map out our trip and then cash in our change jar and finish up the final touches on our MNSSHP costumes!!!! I'm getting excited and I don't think i can keep it in anymore!!! <---me exploding in anticipation!!!

 

[JimFitz]

Drove with three boys under 3 last year. It was a piece of cake. God Speed.

 

[monymony3471]

Hey Michelle. You did start a trippie you did! Yea! I told you I'd be around. Can't wait to read all about it. Have a great time! Your kiddies are the cutest!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Thank you Jim i'm really very nervous about the drive!!! i know i under estimate my children, since they are so good in the care and we plan on stopping every 3 hours, i'm just getting a little scared

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Thanks monymony!!!! i'm going to document everything every night i have my little journal all ready to go!!

 

[mom2-four]

I haven't been here for very long, but I can't wait to hear how your trip goes!

 

[MissMichelle]

Looking forward to your trippie Michelle....My stepdaughter calls me Mommy Michelle---it's adorable and I think of it everytime I see your name on the board. You are going to have a blast with the kids that little!!! I can't wait to see how it went. "see" you there!

Check out my PRE trip report *linked below*. I leave in just a few short hours...WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

​

 

[scrappinmom]

YEAH ! Great pre-trippie Mich!!!!! I just hope I don't do anything silly/dumb/insane enough to end up in your POST trip report!!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

oooo every POPper will most likely end up here!!!
-------

Alright so DH and i woke up at 4 this morning, i hit the gym and he made sure the box was sealed and downstairs, so i wouldn't break my neck trying to get it to the door for the UPS guy! we say our goodbyes and i'm start getting breakfast stuff together for the kiddies later, when i see about FIVE things in the kitchen, that NEED TO BE IN THAT BOX!!!

So i get it all un done (THANK GOODNESS DH is gone!!) and then shove the stuff in the box and attemt to tape it up?!? : i never get a long enouigh piece going so it just looks ridiculous on the top!! DH is going to think that UPS opened it!!

Well the guy shows up and away it goes!!!

no fair that al my boxes get to the WORLD before i do!!!!

-------------

PS i have already found 2 things that should have gone in the box!!!! than goodness i'm driving!!!

 

[Tinkerbell_Girl]
