Hi, Hello, Hiya, Howdy and Welcome! 
Welcome to my 2nd attempt at writing a TR that is half as entertaining as the ones that I read and subscribe to. Some of you may have popped over to my very first attempt at Our First Trip as Family of Three from last year.
Or you may have just been curious enough to click on this Trip Report.
Whatever the reason, I am very excited that you have decided to stop by.
Welcome to
Were on our way to the Magical Kingdom!
As I mentioned, this is my second trip report ever, and it actually happened this February (2011). I know its quite a bit late to get started, but I wasnt planning on writing a trip report. However, this has been the longest winter ever and even as I type this, the weather outside is still gloomy and cloudy and cool. Add in the fact that we currently do not have a Disney trip planned on the horizon and I can feel the beginnings of Disney depression setting in. So Im hoping that reliving our fabulous trip to Disney World will help pass the time away.
So lets get this show on the road!
Let me start with some basic introductions:
The star of my TRs, our little girl. She has gone three times and is only 3 years old. Lucky girl!
Here she is at Halloween this past October (its a little blurry). As you can tell, she is definitely a Disney gal!
She wants to be Jessie when she grows up.
Heres a picture of me and the little munchkin from our May trip last year.
And here is a photo of my hubby getting ready to dig into our first Ohana meal a few years ago.
That is when we discovered the joys of eating around Disney.
The plan was for the three of us to fly down to Walt Disney World on February 2, 2011-February 15, 2011. That was the plan anyways more on that coming up.
We were going to be staying at Port Orleans Riverside for most of the trip and once again taking advantage of Free Dining. With all the different promotions out at that time, we did the math and this was what worked out best for us. There was a bit of hemming and hawing though as I was faced with a decision: 5 days at a deluxe or almost twice as long at a moderate/value resort. We were totally spoiled on previous trips with stays at the Dolpin and Beach Club, but also enjoyed our time at the Pop.
So did I want to try out my dream resort the Poly or try out a new moderate? Duh given the chance for a longer vacation? That decision took me about 10 seconds.
I think thats about it for the basic info. I hope you guys will want to continue to read along. I love having readers and let me know how Im doing. Feel free to comment away as I have been coming out of my Dis shell.
Here we go!

Unexpected addition to the TR.....snippets and a mini-TR of our August 2011 trip to Orlando. I'll be recapping some Disney time as well as some Wizarding World of Harry Potter time! Yes, that's right. We headed over to the dark side for a few days. So basically, this is like a bonus TR - read one, get one free!
