Thanks for joining me for my latest trip report. I am embarrassingly far behind in writing these…I have an incomplete report from our 11 day Halloween 2012 adventure sitting on my computer, but thought I’d knock out this quick report first in hopes it would motivate me to finish the other!
Who are we? A Disney crazed family of three: Me (Mike), my DW (Chrissy) and our already Disney obsessed 3yo DD (Addison). This trip was just Chrissy and I as we chose to leave the munchkin home with Nana and d Papa for the weekend!

Us on Halloween Day 2012 - from the yet-to-be-posted trip report!
The reason for the trip (as if one ever really needs a reason for a Disney trip) was to celebrate a major accomplishment. After nearly 7 years of grueling work, Chrissy finished her PhD and is now officially “Dr. Chrissy”. She defended her dissertation on April 19 and we had the trip planned for April 25-28….timed out perfect. We planned to cram A LOT into a very short window of time including all the major rides that we can’t do with DD in tow, dinner at Be Our Guest & Victoria & Albert’s (firsts for us!) and a little “hooding” ceremony at the castle. A little background on how that came about…..Chrissy’s last semester wrapping this degree was more than a little painful. Her dissertation committee dropped the ball on several occasions which caused the defense date to keep moving back. When everything was blowing up she decided NOT to walk in the graduation ceremony because she was hoping to never see this group again! I said “we have to do something to mark the occasion” and she said “I want you to hood me at the castle!” Works for me! I figured out when we could do it and was lucky enough, with about a 6 week notice, to score a reservation at V&A’s for the same night….but more on all that later!
Here we go….
