I AM SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!
Thank you to anyone who is following along. Welcome!!! This is my first ever PTR, so I'll be winging it quite a bit. Please bear with me!
As the title indicates, this is a trip to make up for the last one we took in February. Since I spent 3 of those 9 days in bed, and didn't feel all that well for the rest of the trip, I needed to make up for it. Who's in agreement??? Yep, I knew you'd understand.
Who am I you might ask? Well, my name is Lois and I love all things Disney. My husband, Dan, is making this do-over possible and I'm so excited. As a good DIS friends would say: Squeeeeeee!! We are empty nesters, with four grown children, three of whom are married and two of whom have provided us with six grandchildren ages 7 through 10 months.
Those who know me know that Dan and I have been going to Disney World every year and sometimes twice a year for quite a while. I'm very fortunate that Dan loves Disney almost as much as I do. However, for the next several years we'll be taking our grandchildren, one at a time when they turn 5. That means no adult type of rides or fun. Which I'm good with, really, but I just need a fix once and a while. The trips with the grands are so awesome and give us a whole new perspective on the parks. We've taken two of them so far and have another one slated for April 2015 that is if Miles will get on a plane. So far, he says not. Hopefully he'll change his mind by then.
So here's my sweetie:
And, btw, that's my sunglass case on his hip, not his pocket hanging out. It took me the longest time to figure that out!
And here I am in February at HS with our DGD Charlotte before I got sick:
Okay, now as far as plans, here's what we have so far:
We are staying at POP Century. Our first choice would have been Port Orleans FQ, but they weren't included in the free dining. Next, we were going to try CBR because Tess recommended it so highly and we were excited to try it, but there were no rooms available with the FD. We do like POP pretty well, so it works for us. We love the dedicated buses and the food court. Plus, it's just a short walk to AoA resort where a really good DIS friend is staying...
Our dates are Sept 10th through the 17th. I plan to surprise Dan with MNSSHP tickets, but haven't decided which night yet. Therefore, I won't be telling him about this PTR. (Good thing he is so swamped at work, he really doesn't have time to get on the DIS)
I haven't decided if I want to upgrade to the regular dining, but have made ADRs already, just in case. We've never done just the quick service meals and I'm thinking we'd rather have table service as well. We're kinda spoiled that way!
So, Mo, how was that for a start? I need you to motivate me in the sewing room as well as on the DIS. You get so much done it astounds me!! I'll try to figure out how to link to here from my current TR. Wish me luck! And everyone have an outstanding day!!
Have I mentioned how EXCITED I am????
