Yay, were going again! It is our 10 year wedding anniversary trip! We honeymooned at Disney so it is only fitting that we celebrate our 10 year anniversary there too!
Honeymoon picture:
I hope you will join me on this pre-trip report planning adventure. I am looking for ideas from all of the DISboard experts here!
When: September 2010
Where: Wilderness Lodge for some of us, CBR for some of us and our friends are staying at CSR.
DH and I have stayed at WL before and we really liked it there. My mom, sister and nephew are currently staying at CBR but may move to WL. CBR is our favorite moderate. Last year we stayed at CSR because it was the only moderate we had not tried before. Our friends really like it there but we didnt care for it much. The pool however, is awesome!
ME or Rental: Rental for sure for us. We like to be able to go here and there and not have to wait for buses, etc. so we always rent cars. This year we will have two of them. Our friends are driving down so they will also have their own vehicle. We like to do some off property outlet mall shopping too. Last year we had a TON of rain when we were there in May and on and off rain in September so the rental came in handy no waiting at a bus stop. DH is handicapped so he has a pass that we use when he is in a lot of pain. He says though that it doesnt make sense to use it at the Magic Kingdom since the handicap spaces make you walk more than the regular spaces.
Meet the cast of characters:
Me, (47, will be 48 by the time we go) Disney addicted and proud of it! I think Disney 24/7! Commando style touring is my specialty. This year though I am making my first attempt at a relaxing pace. Lets say that I am giving it a try. I am totally obsessed with taking pictures (and scrapbooking) and make family nuts about it. I am trying to figure out the best way to lug a zillion pounds of camera equipment around too bad my nephew is too tall now for a stroller. That would have helped! Ha ha! Favorite attraction: Beauty and the Beast. I missed it last year and am so bummed about that. I will definitely be making up for it this trip.
DH (38, will be 39 by the time we go) Loves Disney and is happy to support my addiction. Like me, never did Disney as a child but loves it as an adult. Usually is the one to lug the camera equipment however last year he put his food down and wont do it any longer. Hmm, wonder if I can convince him to carry it?......... Last year he started this new thing in the middle of just about anywhere he would belt out, and I mean BELT OUT . HEIGH HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I about died every time. We could be in line for food or in a queue, or in a store waiting to pay and out of nowhere you would hear him. AAAAhhhhhhhh, I was so embarrassed. Favorite ride is probably PotC.
Mom (will be mad if I put her age here) Also loves Disney. Will go with the flow and do whatever however is insistent upon at least one visit to Kouzzina. Favorite attraction: Living with the Land (or at least I think it is).
DB (will be 34 when we travel) Been to Disney once last year for Star Wars Weekend with DH and I. I think he was bitten by the bug and no, I dont mean Flick! Yay, he wants to go back! Says though that he is happy that I am not doing Disney commando style like I did when we went last May. Favorite attraction: I am guessing TSMM. He is a video game freak so he likes to ride with DH and make TSMM a challenge. I think he about fainted when DH suggested that he ride Buzz with me last year pretty funny.
DSister (will be 33 when we travel) Been to Disney a few times. Loves Disney and humors me with my obsessive planning. Favorite place to eat is Fultons. Isnt it interesting that this is where mom takes DH and I for OUR anniversary? I am hoping that when DH and DMom decide to take their breaks that I can get my sister to go commando style with me while they are resting. Favorite attraction: No clue actually.
Sister and Mom:
DNephew (will be 13 when we travel) Been to Disney a lot for someone his age. I think this is his 6th trip. He is far from his days of zipping from one side of the part to the other all day long. I remember when he was little and he wanted to do PotC, then over to Buzz, oh, then back to Splash! Ahhh, it was a nightmare running from one side of the park to the other all dang day long. Favorite attraction: I think its TT, but he changes his mind.
This picture is from 2009. Boy, has he changed over the last year though.
We are also meeting fiends again this year. Inkedupmomma and her family are going to be there at the same time that we are again this year. We had a blast last year with her and her family. This year we are staying at different resorts but we still have a few things planned together which makes me happy!
