One and All to my newest Trip Report!
My starting quote is from the TV "Kim Possible" and I used it because we came to MNSHHP as the Possible Family!
So...who are we??
DD7 - "Kim Possible"...also known as KP! Not a teen superhero - but a regular 7-year old. She is the apple of our eye as our only child, and she's a great little girl if a bit on the stubborn side. She loves Disney her frequent comment is "I wish I could live at Disney World!". She is, however, afraid of almost anything new and won't go on most of the thrill rides. She also has recently developed an aversion to meeting the characters that we simply cannot understand and she won't tell us why. We were hoping to do a lot of character meets this trip, and we still did, but she is missing from many of the photos.
Me- DH40 - Skier_pete - AKA Dr. James T. Possible. Rocket Scientist (actually an engineer by trade). I am the insane Disney planner and can be blamed for turning my family into Mousejunkies. I planned this trip as a surprise trip - not the trip itself, but DD and DW did not know any of the details, from where we were staying to what we were doing each day. This is our 6th trip in 5 years, and our 3rd in the last 10 months since we got an AP, so I wanted to make it extra special.
DW - Age withheld but around the same as mine - Dr. Ann Possible - Neurosurgeon and super-mom. She is probably as into Disney as anyone in our little clan, but is also perfectly happy to let me do all the planning. After 6 trips I've gotten pretty good at figuring out a pace that keeps everyone happy, so she very much goes with my flow.
When: October 15th - October 25th. Since we were arriving late on the 15th and leaving early on the 25th, this means we had 9 FULL days at Disney World, with 10 nights of hotel stay. I find that 9 days is the ideal trip length for getting to do what we want at the pace we want.
Where: Since I had saved up last year to pay for the AP, we had a little more money to spend on the hotel. I totally splurged and got us 9-nights stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge using rented DVC points. We were originally going to fly back home on Sunday - but for whatever reason the ticket prices were really high and it was much cheaper to fly back Monday, so we also stayed a single night at Pop Century to end our trip.
