If your reading this, then we probably already have a lot in common. I will admit it, I am a COMPULSIVE PLANNER. I cant stand anything to chance. The thought of going without a plan/schedule through WDW sends me into hives and in serious need of an inhaler to ease the tightness in my chest! This is the way I lead my life, I am the thinker, the planner in everything I do
its a wonder that I have friends, dont drive my co-workers crazy and my husband has stuck around now for almost 20 years. I think in my next life I need to become a professional travel agent or party planner! The most fun for me is not the trip, but the planning that goes into it (okay, the trip is an added perk).
This is going to be our first trip to WDW as a family, first for my dh and 3 children (who I will introduce in the next few posts), but I got bitten by the Mickey bug last summer when I was attending a conference in Orlando and decided that it is TIME my children have a once in a lifetime adventure in Florida. This is the first trip as a family other than trips to our cabin in New Mexico and holiday trips to see family either in Colorado or San Antonio .my husband does not do vacations (more on that later) so HOW I got him ever to agree to the madness of WDW and USO at Christmas time is a miracle in itself. But, I can happily say
We are going to Disney World and yes, Universal Studios to ring in the New Year 2012 of course if you believe the Mayans this will be the last New Year so my family is going to do it up right!
The most fun about this trip is that it is going to be a SURPRISE up until about the time we leave (right now on Christmas afternoon). But more about that later
Here is what I know so far about this trip, it will be in 2 parts to 2 different castles
Depart: December 25, 2011
Castle 1: Hogwarts (December 25-30)
Staying at RPR at USO (about to book, waiting for my TA to get back from her Disney Cruise)
3 day park to park pass
1 day swimming at Discovery Cove with the Dolphins
Castle 2: Cinderellas Castle (December 30-January 6, 2012)
Renting points from a DVC member for the BWV PAID FOR IN FULL
May extend to January 7 and stay a night at either GF or POLY for a magical ending to our trip
7-8 park pass not sure if I will add hopper, thinking of doing DDP but still not sure if it is right for us
I cant wait to share my adventure and passion in planning with you!
