Hiya, folks!
I've been working on this TR on another forum, but I'm really enjoying these boards, so I thought I'd share it over here, too.
This is the story of our fabulous holiday adventure to Walt Disney World last December. For my hubby & I, it was our first trip to the World during this time of year. Aside from being plagued with a major cold throughout the duration of the trip, we had the opportunity to attend some pretty neat events, and we had an absolutely amazing time. I hope you’ll join me as I re-live our most memorable moments.
I should give you fair warning, I post about food a LOT. So if you decide to follow along, you might want to avoid reading the updates on an empty stomach, or at least have some tasty snacks handy.

About Us:
My husband & I are Disneyland locals and hit the parks as often as we can. We took a trip to Walt Disney World in 2008 (his 1st, my 2nd - 1st was as a young kid) and we’ve been hooked on the WDW Kool-Aid ever since. I’m a lover of (mostly) all things Disney, and I’m completely addicted to planning trips to WDW. When we first met, DH was indifferent to Disney in general, but has found a love & appreciation through all of the amazing experiences we’ve had over the years. I’m so lucky to have a hubby that “gets” it, or at least understands why I get it (READ: Successfully brain-washed). We love anything that has to do with the history of the parks, and anything behind-the-scenes. You might have noticed by the title of our TR that we're also fans of "The Big Bang Theory".
DM, DSF & DB all grew up in southern California and moved to Colorado a little over 15 years ago. My mom has loved all things Disney her entire life, and my step-father has found a love for it through her. They took their first trip to WDW for their honeymoon in 1995, and have been addicted to the World ever since. They took us along for our first family trip in 2008, and now pretty much the only way we see each other is when we meet at the World.
My brother has never been a big fan of Disney; at least that’s what he’ll tell you. However, if you ever find yourself playing Disney Trivial Pursuit with him, he just might kick your butt. I’m certain he had way more fun on this trip than he’ll ever admit. This was his first trip to the World, he always refused to go on any of our previous trips. Boys.
