Hi and 
I hope you are ready to hear about how hot it is in July at WDW, how we joined thousands of other people sweating our way through the parks, how we tried a whole slew of new restaurants, a new resort, navigated the construction walls in Fantasyland, skipped one park (again!), enjoyed a super fun pool, had a magical moment, and did it all in 4 days!!
Who: For those who don't know us yet,
Me - Sheree, mom, Disney-obsessed. Lawyer by day, DISer all the rest of the time. I didn't start going to WDW until after I was married and at 29 years old, developed the addiction. A few of my other interests (let's be honest, who really has time for other interests?) include reading, scrapbooking and watching baseball (TWINS!) and hockey (WILD!) and enjoying my kids and DH.
DH - Dave - super dad, hard worker and equally Disney-obsessed! Aren't I lucky!! We have so much fun on our trips and he is often the one initiating the plans! He's a mailman by day, and a merchandise vendor at concerts and Vikings games by night/weekend. He has a love for cars, sports, family and of course, Disney! Luckily we both like to travel.
The Girls:
DD9 - Sarah - my little brainiac/drama queen. She's a softball player, dancer, gymnast, excellent student and reader. She's got an eye for the hidden Mickeys and loves POTC and after this trip, BTMRR too! She looks exactly like her Mommy did as a girl, so I call her my mini-me. She will be starting 4th grade in a couple weeks!
DD7 - Paige - Miss Independent (Some of the time!). She is a dancer, gymnast and likewise excellent student. Some days she is happy to be by herself and doesn't care what anyone else is doing. But then she will need mommy or daddy to lay in bed with her to fall asleep! She spies her own Hidden Mickeys (everywhere!) and loves Belle! Her favorite ride is It's a Small World and she also braved BTMRR this trip. She's about to be a 2nd grader.
Cody - our lovable dog. No, he didn't get to come on the trip, but he's worth mentioning! HA! He's almost 4 years old, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
This is us in December 2009.
So this trip actually was born on our December trip. Check out my prior TR for details. But the jist of it is this: My SIL skipped their annual summer trip to Cocoa Beach to join us at WDW in December. They have a time share and as a result of skipping summer 2009, they had two weeks to use in summer 2010. They invited us to join them for a week at the beach in August. Well, if I'm going to Florida, I am usually going to HAVE to stop at WDW!! So, before we checked out in December, we booked a bounceback to the Beach Club for late July 2010!!
When/Where:
July 28-Aug 1 Beach Club - standard view room (we got 40% off!) 5 day non-hoppers and the DELUXE dining plan!
August 1 -8 - Ron Jon's Cape Caribe Resort at Cocoa Beach in a 2 BR condo overlooking the ocean!
See my PTR (link in sig) for our tentative plans and ADRs. I'll go through everything day by day and we'll see if we followed our plans.
How hot was it? how many snack credits did we use on water? did we get rained on? what was our favorite restaurant? Was the Deluxe Dining Plan too much? did we have enough sunblock? what fun souvenirs did we buy?
All these questions answered and more!
stay tuned...

for first page! 
We went for our honeymoon in July 2001 and vowed NEVER to go again in the summer!
