Ok. Well this is my first attempt at a pre-trip report (or well any trip report for that matter
) so please bear with me. It looks like fun and I really enjoy reading everyone elses, so here goes.
Ok first things first. Let me introduce myself. I am Katie, 29 years old from southest Louisiana, and have totally fallen in love with Disney. I am a SAHM of 3 beautiful children, and have been married for 8 years. My first trip to WDW was actually the first trip that we took our children on in March 2006. I never went as a child. My parents weren't "theme park" people, and money was tight so we didn't travel much. I had no idea what to expect when we got there......ok let me back up just a little
When we took our first trip in March of 2006, there wasn't much planning involved. We literally decided to go, booked a ressie, no ddp (didn't know much about it then
) and took off for the World all within 3 weeks time! WOW!!! Were we crazy?!?!? Like I said, I had NEVER been there, and DH hadn't been since he was a kid, but he still knew more than me. I was expecting to be more like the old Astroworld in Houston.....Boy was I wrong
After a very long 12 hour drive with a 6 year old, a 3 year old and a 2 year old, we arrived at POP! I was shocked at how big even the hotel was!!!
This is AWESOME!!! We're at Disney!
I loved it and we had a wonderful trip! I was so sad coming home and knew that we would be back!!!
Indeed we were. We started planning another trip in March 2007. We decided to go during Thanksgiving since the kids were out of school! Whoa! Never again....
The crowds made me crazy
On this trip we were joined by my parents and our best of friends. It had its ups and downs, but all in all it was a good trip. Again as soon as we got home, I was ready to go back, even though DH said that it would be a few years before we did, b/c he was "disneyied" out....Whatever that means......
A few months passed and then we found out that our bestest of friends (paparazzimama) were going. They started working on us ( didn't take much for me
) and then I started working on DH. I really wasn't too hopeful that he would give in, b/c afterall this was February and we just got back at the end of November! He caved though and we booked
We're going back to WDW!!!
More to come soon!
