Does anyone else get tired of explaining themselves for going to Disney? My husband posted this on my Facebook wall this morning:

Anywho....this is my first pre-trip report ever! I have visited the Disboards for years but never actually registered until this morning. I enjoy reading trip reports and dining reviews so, I finally decided to write my own.
The Whos...
Me! Julia! I am 32 years old and I teach 8th grade social studies. I love, love, love my job and although I love Disney because of my job I can only go during the busy times. I am super OCD and super organized. I cannot exist without a plan....and a backup plan. This comes in very useful at Disney but sometimes it can be a nightmare because it is Disney and people/weather/misc. items can mess that up.
Natey, my DH (31). Natey is my best friend and husband of almost 10 years. We first went to Disney together in 2005 and became hooked. He gets Disney, appreciates my planning, understands the word sheeple and is just overall amazing.
Best Friend or Kelly (32) I've known Kelly since 6th grade and we were refer to each other as Best Friend. As in "Best Friend, what time are you coming over?" Some people find it annoying but we don't. Best Friend has always appreciated Disney but didn't really love it until we all traveled together in 2012. She loves the magic of Disney and its food.
Jamie (43) Kelly's husband. Jamie is a sweet man but doesn't get Disney. He loves us so, he tolerates our Disney obsession. He enjoys being on vacation and is an excellent driver to Disney so we let him stick around.
Avery (8) Kelly and Jamie's son. Avery is the love of our lives! He is the sweetest, funniest and most amazing kid around. His first trip was back in 2012. We took him to Universal first and he was miserable. However, when he got to Disney he became a different child and loved every minute of it. He loves the roller coasters and the chocolate milk.
When:
June 13-June 20, 2015
Where:
Emerald Isle Resorts. Can I just say that I am super depressed about this? This is my first time staying offsite and I am worried that it will not be magical. There is just something about pulling up to the gates and hearing, "Welcome home!." I guess I need to explain why we are staying there. We typically go on vacation every year as a family. We usually stay at the Pop Century and everything has been working well but this year Kelly's sister and her girlfriend will be traveling with us. Jamie has decided that if we wanted to go back to Disney in 2015...instead of 2016, which was the original plan, than we needed to figure out a cheaper alternative. We did a lot of research and crunched a lot of numbers but then Natey found the condo. We are renting a 3 bedroom condo for the week for $550 total. Jamie and even, Natey was sold so, off property condo (as Best Friend calls it) has been booked and paid for.
