PTR: A good way to occupy my time while waiting for our WDW vacation.

Alright I'll do it.
A trip report.
Well actually a Pre trip Report.
Either way a tough task especially with all the fine PTR and TR that are posted around here.

Here goes.....

The Players playahs!

The Daughter:

The Wife & Shookie (Enzo):

Funny I couldn’t find a picture of my wife where she didn’t look like she was being held captive.
I’m afraid if these were videos she would be blinking morse code with her eye lids
“Please….help… me..being…held…against…my…..will.”

Here is the last member of our family…the Pooch. She won’t be going to Disney but she will be holding down the fort and hanging with this squid while we’re away:

Anyway. Trip starts in T-minus 25 days. I’ve been filling the grand expanse between then and now, by looking at everyone else’s amazing trip reports and occasionally imparting my incredible WDW wisdom to help people make those REALLY tough decisions in such threads as:

“The Polynesian or Motel Six offsite ---Money is no object---- where should I stay?”
or
“Where to go for a romantic dinner Dinner – California Grill or Toy Story Pizza Planet?”

I have also been posting here and there bragging about how awesome my luggage tags are:

Oh yeah! by vpferro, on Flickr

How cool my MNSSHP tickets are:

Just found out the night we’re going is ‘sold out’ –I’m happy that we got in before the sell out, but I’m now I’m curious if ‘sold out’ means mobbed in the conventional sense of the word.

And cracking open our new luggage:

Other than that I go to work and stare at this computer screen all day long:

As far as plans – We are the type to squeeze every single moment out of our vacations. We park hop like nobody’s business and tend to plan around our meals and EMH. I used to have everyday planned out ahead of time – but now (with 6 consecutive years under our belts) as long as I have a half way decent outline we can kick the crap out of our WDW vacation. Here are the ADRs and any ‘written in stone’ plans we have for the week.

Have a gander:
Thursday 27th

· The Wave

Friday 28th

· Ohana

Saturday 29th

· Universal Day
· California Grill

Sunday 30th

· Universal Day
· MNSSHP (our first time)
· QS Dinner

Monday 1st

· QS Dinner

Tuesday 2nd
· Chef Mickey’s for Breakfast
· Garden Grill for Dinner

Wednesday 3rd
· Crystal Palace for Breakfast
· Yachtsman’s Steakhouse for Dinner



Other than the things we have planned above we have at least one visit to either Blizzard Beach or Typhoon Lagoon planned. Just not ot sure which park or which day.

We used to do the water park and more ticket option and hit at least 2 parks per visit but since squeezing 2 days at Uni into our vacations something had to give.

Ok so that’s it for now. I’ll chime in with updates or changes as my vacation gets closer and my stir craziness slowly takes a hold of me.

Hey enzo! Wishing you THE BEST trip!!!!! Enjoy and CT will miss you!
There she is!!! Where you been hiding sister!?
Thanks for the well wishes. 9 more days I can't wait! Going to enjoy F&W for the first time, Epcot's 30th and meet up with a couple of folks from around here...speaking of which....
Dude, are you bringing your own beer ?? They DO have beer in WDW ! If you're that desperate (or cheap), I'll be happy to buy you one !
LOL!!! I'm sitting here going "what's Steve talking about??"....then I see what appears to be the top of can of Miller Lite sticking out of my suitcase......Hahaha.....no that's actually the 'light' from my son's Iron man shirt\costume!
Times are indeed tough for all but I always manage to fit beer into my vacation budget...however I will take you up on the beer offer - if only to raise a toast to Epcot's 30th on the 1st....;)

We're glad to have you back ...but apparently you've had your hands full!

I'm so jealous of people who Honeymoon in Disney.
I tried so hard to convince my wife back then that we could afford it (we paid for almost our entire wedding ourselves) but she wouldn't go for it.
She regretted it about 5 minutes into our Pocono vacation :( ..blah

Aww yeah I know. I briefly thought we shouldn't go to Disney to save money and when I thought of where else we'd go, I wanted to cry because we're spoiled Disney world brats!!!! So we will do a Disney honeymoon registry to help us with the cost.

I'm so glad I was in park reading this ! I'd have been a dead man explaining to my safety co-ordinator and supervisor why I wrecked my truck !

Ok the last piece to my PTR. I can't believe it's finally here. Weird I think pushing it off from our normal May trip has made this trip a little more surreal than normal.
No matter how many times we visit WDW it never gets old. It just never loses that feeling.
ANYWAY! I better get to bed....
Jumping on a jet plane in 7.5 hours.
When you here from me again it will most likely be my trip report... Just had to make my final cuts:
1. Lawn Cut
