5 Days, 4 Parks, 3 DIS-meets, 2 ADR’s, and 1 Solo DISer! Done! Finished! Completed!! - The DIS Discussion Forums

MRYPPNS · 09-13-2009, 02:10 PM

5 Days, 4 Parks, 3 DIS-meets, 2 ADR’s, and 1 Solo DISer!

The TR has started at the end of the PTR...links are in Post #2
There isn’t much time before my next trip to WDW so this PTR will roll out the good stuff pretty fast. Besides my touring plans, I’ll be writing mostly on my random Disney vacation thoughts and such. So check back often over the next 2 ½ weeks!

If you want to know more about me and my family and the story about how I fainted on the plane last year going to Orlando the link is in my siggie.

Who: Me (Heidi) solo!
When: Wednesday 9/30 to Sunday 10/4
Where: All Star Music Resort
Why: to Celebrate Me!

When I picked my travel dates I had no idea that so many of my DIS friends were going to be in the World the same time as me. It’s such a bonus that I never expected when I decided that I need a vacation.

Disney is asking all their guests about what they are celebrating. I’m celebrating Me! My life has changed a lot in the past 5 years…and for 5 days in Disney I’m going to be Heidi. Not wife, not Mommy, but Heidi. I love my husband and kids will all my heart but I’m excited to find my lost magic.

There are no links for the PTR entries....just look for the big blue font thru the first 9 pages or so.

mrsksomeday · 09-13-2009, 05:38 PM

Well I am so happy I stumbled upon this!! It is great that you get to go solo. I am just sad I didn't get to meet you last year or this year

, hopefully someday!

TarzansKat · 09-13-2009, 06:04 PM

DUDE!!!! I want to celebrate Heidi!!!!

Perhaps I can start with the drink I owe you.

I think it's a wonderful thing to celebrate, just being you. Good for you! HALA KAHIKI!

PracPerfPatricia · 09-13-2009, 07:02 PM

Hello...

I am subbing on-so excited to get in early...

1. I love your title-and can't wait to see how you do it...

2. I also love Mary Poppins-almost as much as I love AiW &

3. I love that you are going solo to "celebrate you"...

maroo · 09-13-2009, 07:03 PM

I'm in!

justplaingoofy · 09-13-2009, 08:04 PM

Sounds like this may be a little like "how stella got her groove back"....
I'm hooked..loved your past trip report

You'll find the magic!

MaryAz · 09-13-2009, 08:13 PM

Whooo Hooo-first page! Can't wait to follow along. Think it is great you are doing a solo trip-hope to do one myself someday!

Charleston Princess · 09-13-2009, 08:18 PM

About 90 days ago I was sitting on the couch with DH.

Me: Honey I want to go away for a long weekend.
DH: OK.
Me: Alone. Without you or the kids.
DH: Oh. ok.
Me: To Florida. To go to Disney.
DH: You'll be safe there. When do you want to go?
Me: First weekend in October.

Then I started crying. It was hard for me to ask my DH to take over all my responsiblities with the baby (4 mo. old) and a 2 yr old so I could go to Disney.

Just so you don't get the wrong impression from my crying....DH has been supportive of me going from the first minute of me letting him know that I wanted to go.
