Pre-Trip Counting down for our WDW trip in October

Hi All,

First who are we? Michel, Ria and Sacha. True Disney lovers for years and since 2006 annual pass holders for DLP and also shareholders for DLP since 2 years! We go to DLP about 4 times a year. Sometimes just a short weekend trip, sometimes longer. You can find some TR from our DLP trips the last 2 years (see signature) and photo's of earlier trips to DLP (also link in signature).

The feeling that we are going to WDW for real is getting better and better! And now it's time to share that feeling with you all.

Off course as true Disney lovers WDW was on our wishlist for years! And this year it is finally going to happen. I was there before when I was 18, so almost 24 years ago!

Next Saturday we are going to book our trip! We probably will stay in a villa with two cars (we are going with friends). We will be in USA from October 17th until October 24th. Just 7 days, but I bet the 7 days will be marvelous. The plan is to go to WDW for 4 days and 2 days to Universal. We need to ride the Harry Potter attraction ;).

And Sacha is determining to ride Despicable Me and buy a minion as big as she can find :)

Much more to come about our pretrip feelings and counting down.

So far the report... and I'll leave you with some pictures we are dreaming on to see live :)

And it feels great that we passed the 60 mark :) On one hand 58 sounds much but on the other hand time fly by! Days go fast! And reading all the other TR's pumps up the pre-feeling! Even watching TR's on youtube... and the thinking that we are acctually walking on the same soil within 58 days :)
