9 days, 7 bladders, 3 strollers, 1 tropical storm and... lots of fun. UPDATED MAY 13
Bonjour and
 to my trip report.My name is Queila and I am a 34 year old dental hygienist from Montreal. Actually, I am really from Brazil but I moved to Canada 10 years ago to be with my husband Joey. He is that awesome. We have a four year old daughter named Beatriz and we have been dealing with secondary infertility for the past two years. We tried fertility but lost two pregnancies in the last year.  I guess you can say it has been emotional but planning and executing Disney trips have been a wonderful day to lighten up and bring some *pixie dust* into our lives.This was our 4th trip as a family of three. Beatriz has been to Disney pretty much every year since she was born and, let me tell you, she is turning to be quite a Disney bug. On this trip she was finally tall enough to do some of the bigger rides and that fact alone added a whole new excitement to our trip.  Joey is a full on Disney dad himself and his love for all things Disney increases with every trip we take. This time around we had friends tagging along with us. It was a family of four with kids 6 and 3 years old. Hence, the task of "managing" 7 bladders and three strollers under the August Summer heat. Being a larger party definitely slowed our pace down but I was ok with it for the most part. It helped me to just let the trip happen instead of trying to plan every minute of it. Turns out, we still got a lot accomplished and had a great time. It was their first time at Disney and I got a little kick out of experiencing Disney through their eyes. I was happy to be able to show them a good time too. The trip was from Aug. 26th to Sept. 3rd 2012. We stayed at Port Orleans French Quarter with free dining and had a 8 day Magic Your Way Ticket with no hopper pass. You can read my TR for our 2011 trip right here. My TR's are known for dragging for quite some time but I always finish them so I hope you stick around! This is my favorite picture of this trip. It was taken on day 4 by the Sassagoula River on our way to dinner at Port Orleans Riverside:  Next up: Day 1- Will Isaac ruin our trip? ************************************************** ************************ Day 1: Chapter 1- But is there even going to be a trip? Chapter 2- But first we need to make it to Orlando. Chapter 3- So we made it. Now take me out to the hotel. Chapter 4- Port Orleans French Quarter, a review. Chapter 5- Port Orleans French Quarter, pictures of our room. Chapter 6- The rain follows us to Epcot and lunch at Via Napoli. Chapter 7- Dodging the rain at Future World, a meal at Sunshine Seasons and, who knew, Illuminations. Day 2: Chapter 1- Isaac day; Chapter 2- Post- storm afternoon at Magic Kingdom, lunch at Columbia Harbour House; Chapter 3-Dinner at Kona Cafe; Q

I'm here! That is a beautiful family picture by the river.
I'm sorry you're going to thru secondary fertility. I know it's a emotional roller coaster and I will be praying for you.

I'm so sorry for your secondary infertility. I have a few friends that are going through the same thing right now. It is very hard, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you all.
I'm on board looking forward to reading the rest of your trip!

If I'm a redheaded ninja, does that make me a Gin-ja? I would like to think so!

I'm in! I can't wait to hear about your adventure with Isaac! We live on the panhandle and really didn't get anything. A small amount of rain and a few good gusts of wind! In fact, the weather and rain we've had over the past few days has been worse than what we got with Isaac!

Is there even going to be a trip?
We left for our trip on a Sunday and the whole week we were monitoring the progress of tropical storm Isaac in the Caribbeans. At one point they predicted it was going to pass right over Florida and it really put a damp on my pre trip excitement. We called Air Canada and Disney enquiring about our options in case we decided not to go. Both companies told us that if there was a weather advisory issued by the government we could re schedule our trip free of charge. So we decided to play it by ear and start packing. As the day of the trip drew closer it became clear that we would probably get the tale end of the storm instead of the eye which still meant quite a lot of rain.  I packed rain boots, rain jackets and games to play in the room just in case we would end up rained in for a couple of days. By Saturday night when we went to bed our flight status on line was "on time" and the storm had taken a turn towards the Gulf of Mexico. "I guess we are going to Disney world after all".  Next up: Getting to Orlando.
