I Cant Believe I Got Him to Fall for this Again...Our 5 Year Anniversary Trip!

I Cant Believe I Got Him to Fall for this Again...Our 5 Year Ann. Trip! UPDATE 4/12!

So I cant believe it happened. i had secretly been planning a trip or hoping to plan a trip for my DH and I. In September it will be 5 years that we have been married. We got engaged at Cinderella castle, had a Disney themed wedding, honeymooned there, then had our 1 year anniversary trip there, along with many others.

June 2009 TR....sorry it was never finished, maybe i will just add the photos!

We now have a new addition to the family. Our daughter Ariella (yes that is a combo of Ariel and Cinderella) Lucia was born on March 25, 2011. This is her when she just turned 10 Months old on January 25th.....and yes that shirt she is wearing says "Shoes do Matter, just ask Cinderella!"

So when I got a pin-code in the mail for the month of September i knew it was meant to be. My husband checked about work and he is good to go, so he actually gave me the approval to book it! I was shocked, he has even approved the upgrades i just made! see he likes it there but he isn't a big fan. he thinks disney is a rip off, so he only goes for me. i also told him a while ago that he messed up when he proposed there cuz we are only destined to go all the time!

so we decided to go without ariella because we are planning on taking her for her 3rd birthday and my 30th (ugh!) in march of 2014. i think she is just way too young to take now, i certainly dont want to have to deal with it as this age. plus it is our anniversary AND this is probably going to be our last trip alone for a while.

well we booked the trip on friday 1/27.we are staying at ASMu, not my first choice but POP was booked. with the pin code, we got the quick service dining free, but we dont want that one, so we upgraded to Deluxe. so blackthidot, looks like you're going to get another food trip report in here! i was only going to do the basic but we wanted to try a few different table services that we never did and our romantic dinner is always at narcoosee's so thats a 2, so we were gonna have to pay OOP for alot of meals anyways.

i booked through AAA which now offers you preferred fireworks seating which you have to book 180 days in advance. i am sooo excited about that. my total for the room, 6 tickets a piece, and the deluxe dining is $2200. now i just have to find airfare and we'll be good.

plan wise.....i already have a rough copy of where i want to eat but i just have to wait to see when the MNSSHP nights are because that is probably our favorite special event they have. the parade is AWESOME!

i have to get going for now, but i will be back on thursday to post our rough schedule! hope you all will join me in my planning and ill try to finish that other TR from 2009!

Not sure if you decided to take the train or not yet but just wanted to let you know of our train experience back in 2002. We took Amtrak from Philly to FL and it was a little rough. If you can afford it get a sleep compartment. The bathrooms in coach were really nasty by the time we got to FL and everytime somebody opened the door to them the smell was ...:hurl: The smoking car was a few cars in front of us and all night long people were going in and out of the door between our car and the next car which was pretty noisy. The seats also don't have a whole lot of recline to them, so sleeping was a bit uncomfortable. If we went by train again I would def swing for the private area. It was a neat way to travel but I def was ready to get off by the end! Have a great time on your trip! And your daughter is adorable!!!

Can't wait to hear more! My boyfriend and I went last year Sept 13-20 and the crowds were UNBELIEVABLY small, so you're in a for a nice surprise if you haven't experienced that yet! Your little girl is truly a princess! I love the tattoos by the way! I'm currently in the process of finishing up a 1/2 sleeve, but after this tat, my boyfriend and I want to get Disney tattoos, too!!!
