Pre-Trip A first, a second, and a third

Hello friends! Thanks for joining me for another PTR adventure! If you don't know me, I'm Bee, an ex-Floridian now living just outside NYC with my amazing wife, M. Since 2013-2014, we have been Annual Passholders every other year and this happens to be an on-year! M's parents and brother still live in Florida so we visit them (and the Mouse) pretty frequently for holidays and such, and sometimes they join us at Disney. Here are the plans for our next trip, which is approaching fast.

DATES
February 21-26, 2018

TRAVEL
Southwest (of course) and DME

LODGING
Disney's Coronado Springs Resort-with a fantastic Disney Visa discount!

CAST
Bee (me), 29, opera singer/music teacher, the primary planner
M (DW), 28, writer/academic administrator
MIL, M's mom, perhaps more obsessed with Disney than I am
FIL, M's dad, likes Disney but not quite obsessed

Possible player: M's cousin (calling her C because her name also begins with M). Lives in the Midwest near M's grandpa and other extended family, but happens to be vacationing in Florida at the same time we'll be there

M and I will be running the Princess 5K on Friday morning and M's parents are planning to come cheer us on at the finish line. Which brings me to the meaning of the title...

First: M's first 5K
Second: My second 5K
Third: Our third stay at Coronado Springs together

I'll post more day-by-day details as I have time. I'm currently teaching seven days a week through mid-February so I will NEED this vacation!

Better hot than the ice/snow mix we had for a while yesterday

Fair enough!

The floating planters are gorgeous. I love all the flower displays in EPCOT during F&G.

Me too! Luckily for us they are preparing the park for F&G and we get to see topiaries and such!

CONGRATS!!!

Thank you!!!

I'm not a runner but if I was, I picture myself running like Phoebe.

And I love the medal! Tangled is one of my favorites!

Hahaha! Great medal, I agree!

Best Day Ever!! Congrats!

Congrats! And what an awesome medal!

Thank you!!!

Congrats. Careful, those medals are addictive

Believe me, I’m already thinking about the next one...

^^^^^^This. I need to take up running

Congratulations!! I hope you're celebrating with a drink(or two)!!

Thank you!!! Believe it or not we have not had ONE DROP of alcohol today. That is about to change very soon, though!!

We made it home just before noon. Back to real life! We had fun looking through our photos on the plane and I'm excited to get started on my TR. Will of course post to this thread when I start it.
