Pre-Trip Here, in this hostile world, my story begins....

***Judy Dench or Jeremy Irons voice over optional


It takes (what feels like), 15,000 years to come up with my next bright idea: planning a trip for my wife and her mom so my wife would catch the Disney vacation bug and want to buy an AP! There was only one small problem, when they visit, I will have to stay behind.

Now, lets move ahead to the present in Atlanta, Georgia, because something is about to happen that will change the course of my future. I was digitally pounding reeds flat (typing on my computer) to create better record keeping plans for their February travels, finances, and unfortunately my own calendar plans which did not include me being at WDW. But it also brought with it the dawn of a great WDW trip in April!

At this point, my wife and MIL had taken over the trip I planned and I would have to stay home, which most of you already understand why. But my wife, who is as clever as a Phoenician came up with a solution! To create and plan a simple, relaxing trip in April to WDW for just us. Remember how easy it was to breeze through my last trip report full of beer pictures and swollen puffy eyes? Thank my wife- she invented this upcoming trip that will allow you to experience a brand new one!


Ok, ok, enough SE dialogue, lol. Lets get to it! As some of you have read in my other PTR, my wife and her mom are visiting in Feb which was a trip that took several changes and lots of waiting for an all clear from the Doctor. Giving away a Disney trip is not an easy thing to do, but they definitely need it and I will get "good husband" credit points for being so generous, hahaha! I was planning on cashing in my credit points to convince my wife to let me buy a 4 wheeler, but as she was planning their trip she asked if it would be ok if she got an AP. My response; Dilly Dilly!!! She was happy and she immediately asked if we could plan a trip in the Spring since it has been appx two yeas since we visited together. Another Dilly Dilly was in order. I was back to digitally pounding reeds flat on my computer and soon after I had trip booked!!

Who: My wife and I

Where: 5 nights at BWV studio room.

The Boardwalk Resorts are are favorites (with AKL a close second). We spend a majority of our time in WS but I have a feeling that we will be in AK a lot this trip to try all the new food and booze offerings. She will get to experience it with her mom soon and that will help with planning our trip once she is more familiar.

You can also find us at Tune In Lounge early in the morning enjoying adult beverages

Another favorite of ours is Crews Cup Lounge. Here is my wife reminding me that I am #1

So much love!!! lol.

We have no yet started to plan any ADR's but are it looks like we have rain moving int Atlanta today which is dashing our plans of hitting the Atlanta Beer Fest taking place today. So the new plan is to find a good selection of craft brew, crank up Youtube and the MDE app make some plans this evening!

Updates coming soon. Thanks for following along everyone!

I’m staying at the Double Tree Atlanta-Northlake and the PD is at the museum school in Decatur. Sorry for derailing the thread but I couldn’t miss the opportunity to get help from the experts!
There are many great bars/restaurants in Decatur that specialize in craft beer/wine and really good food. Brick House ad Kimball House are very popular. The Atlanta Belt Line has a lot of great choices. The Highlands is also a great little strip with lots of off food spots. A google search of those areas will yield many choices.

And dont worry, I derail most of my own PTR and TR's within a few pages:cool:

As usual, I have absolutely nothing packed or even prepared to pack and I need to buy some new shorts and shirts so Im not wearing the same clothes as my last trip in our pictures.

It's a guy thing. It takes me about 10 minutes to pack when we go on a trip. The wifey, a bit longer. We just got back from Kona and Maui and she packed like we were going to the moon. She packed stuff she didn't even wear (who takes 3 pr of black flip flops?).

Just post plenty of beer pics!

Just a few days out and I have slowly begun to prep. I got a Sony version of the GoPro and Im curious to see if it will be more convenient for pics and videos than using my phone constantly. It is very small and compact which should make it easy to keep in our back pack or pockets. Here is a photo of it with a Disney pen for size reference

Im charging it up and will give it a test run today.

Ive got 5 dogs graduating from training and going home tomorrow which leaves Friday to drop off animals at parents house and get packing done. Good thing is that one of the dogs in training will be joining me on a field trip today and will accompany me into Target and a few other stops, so at least I can work and shop at same time:).

We finally got a Disney Chase card as well and the grocery store is doing double fuel points on Disney gift cards which will yield us about $1 off every gallon when we fill up for gas and we get the Disney points on the card! C chose the Darth Vader card and Chase sent a standard Mickey, Minnie, Donald. We called Chase and they over nighted a new card and it was still the Mickey, Minnie, Donald. Third time was a charm and now we have Vader!

Ok, its 9 am and Im gonna get started with the pups training. Ill get some photos of our field trip today and you can see a real working dog in training (if you want). Thanks for following along and ill update later on.

And oh ya, here ya go, @Zipitidoda , a little sneak peak into my favorite style of white shirts.

That's a nice classic look. I approve. :happy: Just don't start wearing this.
