Leger Wonka Pre-Trip....Little Surprises Around Every Corner (7/6 New Purchases)

Okay folks....let's try this again. My other Pre-TR went flop because I was Co-Writing it with one of the people that was supposed to come with us down to WDW and they opted to plan their own trip w/o us. Why? I'd rather not get into it but let's just say it's a relief at this point.

So, on to BIGGER and BETTER things!!

Let's start with how this trip came to be. **clears throat** My DH (Chris) and I (Carla) went to WDW last september for our birthdays for the first time. No, it wasn't our frist trip to WDW (I lost count how many times I've been and Chris has been about 5 or 6 times now) but it was our first time celebrating our birthdays down there. Our birthdays are 3 days appart but Chris is a year older (I remind him of that constantly :rotfl: ). When we booked to go to WDW for our birthdays Disney was offering the free dining plan so we hopped on board with that. We had an absolute BLAST and just HAD to jump on that bounceback offer. We had origionally booked for Sept 13th through the 18th but we have decided to add two days. Which leads me up to the next part....

THE WHEN: September 13th - September 20th :woohoo: :woohoo: With FREE DINING!!

THE WHERE: Pop Century Resort Prefered Room. We stayed here last year and loved it :lovestruc

BIRTHDAY'S TO CELEBRATE: Carla - September 14th (I will be turning 27 :scared1: )
Chris - September 17th (he will be turning 28 :laughing: )

And last but not least....
THE WHO: (no, not the band :rotfl: ) Me aka Carla. Like I said, I'm currently 26 years old and am a disney NUT!! I love everything Disney. I could talk about it all the time. :lovestruc I've been every year (sometimes twice a year) since I can remember which is why I've lost count how many times I've been. I also love to quilt (I've been quilting with my Mom for the last year) so you will read me talk about those adventures too from time to time. Hope ya'll don't mind :rolleyes: Oh! and my favorite park is MK of course! :woohoo:
Here's my mug:

And then there's my DH Chris. He never got to go to WDW as a child. I took him on his first trip for his 21st birthday. Well, really my Mom paid for it but I was there :laughing: . He fell in love with it just like me. I'm SO glad he did too. Now I have a hard time trying to convince him to vacation anywhere but WDW :rotfl: . I created a monster. But hey, who am I to complain? :thumbsup2 He's been about 5 or 6 times to WDW now. We took our Honeymoon there and that was excellent. His favorite park is MGM (sorry but I just can't call it DHS :sad2: )

Here is his mug:

The "Family Members" That Will Be Left Behind:

So, We have 4 dogs. Two of them (the Biggest one and Smallest one) will be staying with my In Laws and the other two will be staying with my Parents. I will introduce them by size

Here is the smallest dog of the 4. Her name is Lexie. She is a one year old Maltese/Papillon Mix

Next up is our Miniature Schnauzer. His name is Midnight and he is 5 years old.

Then we have Harley. He is a mutt and the best behaved of the 4. He is also 5 years old.

And last but not least we have our big man Bohdan (aka BoBo) weighing in at a whoping 80lbs. He's a Giant Schnauzer.

Hey Carla

My mom is away this weekend, but will be ready to go along for the ride when she gets back:thumbsup2
 
OK, OK, I'm here! Sorry it took so long but I've been busy preparing for our DIScademy Awards for Saturday night. I was a presenter (my two categories were Best Non-Technical CMO video and Best Technology Was Not Their Friend CMO video)...it was really fun to pick these!

Also -- I got nominated for Best Use of Personal Disney Stuff! Woo Hoo!!

OK, yes you got to admit I'm very curious about what happened with the "original" trip plans....hmmmm?

However, planning for just your family is really the best! You get to do whatever YOU want to do!!
