The "Dumbo or Die" Pre Trip report..

Hello all! Now that I have finally finished my TR from our August trip, AND I have managed to save the $$ we will need to book the next trip.. I'm starting a PTR!

So let's see.. first off..who we are..

here's 6 of the 7 of us that will be on this trip:

Myself~Alison..36 year old mother of 4, homeschooler and office manager by day and bartender at a night club by night.

My husband~Eric.. mold maker by day and a newly born Disney Fanatic!


My mother~ AKA Gigi... 60 something Disney nut like her daughter!

My oldest son Noah~17 ,.he turns into a 4 year old the moment he steps on Disney property.

My youngest 3 kids.. Declan 9, Jadziah 8 and Taejan 6..all VERY anxiously awaiting me saying "we are going BACK".. they went for the 1st time in August and not a day goes by that they don't say they want to go back!

This trip it will just be us. Last time we traveled with 20 people total.. 8 in just my group. This time there will be NO girlfriend( if your wondering why..read my last trip report..good reading!) and we are not traveling with our best friends. As much as I love them, and it was fine all being together..I am not doing it again.

When: well that's up in the air.. we are aiming for mid September. Being homeschoolers we are way more flexible than most. If we are very lucky and FD comes out then we are good for Mid September 2012..if not then March 2013 because I'll need more time to save for food..lol.

Now why the name of the PTR? Well see..we never did make it on Dumbo..my younger 3 kids will never forgive me I fear. Between the lines, the heat and the fact my daughter was not well on our last day in MK we just never managed to ride it. My oldest son LOVES to tell them that when we went he got the 1st ride of the day on Dumbo about 6 times.. thanks Noah!

The kids all want to stay at Pop Century again. I'm fine with that.. we need 2 rooms and values are the only way to go for that. I'd be fine with trying an All Star but am game for whatever!

I haven't called and made ressies..I'm waiting til March 1st in hopes of free dining coming out..if it doesn't then I will still make them and move them if need be!

less than 4 days now.. or 95 hours until we LEAVE!
Wow! You are getting close! Isn't that the best feeling and the worst feeling at the same time! On one hand you don't want the time to fly but on the other hand you just want to be there! Oh the conundrum! :) Have a great trip! Looking forward to your trip report when you get back.

Despite the current drama in my life I am going ahead with getting ready for the trip ( and praying it all works out).


My kids costumes are done! I would LOVE a little input on my 10 year olds though.. I want to write something on his shirt that's witty about being the mouse's prisoner but my brain is fried..anyone?

The 7 year is an Imagineer

Hello for WDW!! Just saying a quick HI as we sit in the room while it's pouring rain ( surprise). We arrived yesterday at 8am, got a room at the Double Tree in DTD..they got us right in ( no ressie!).. stayed until this morning, checked into BWI at 8:30 and our room was READY!! We got a little lost finding it but we did and it's gorgeous. We have a 1st floor room not far from the quiet pool. We have been exploring all day. Waiting for the rain to stop then we will be taking the kids to the big pool.
