Trip Report We're going back and nothing's gonna stop us now.....

,Hey everyone!! The official PTR is finally happening!! Whew! These last few months have been a killer.

Let me start by telling you a bit about the two of us. My DH is the most hard-working guy. He constantly gives 110% at his work-electrical engineer. That's the reason I don't have to work outside the home:) I, on the other hand, do most of the work at home. I am what some call "a domestic engineer". I do all the planning, cleaning, bills, errands, etc. But, I love it! I used to work but don't miss it one bit. We have one DD who is 28 and lives in another part of our state. She isn't going with us this trip. And we have a cat.

We are celebrating our 33rd anniversary this year!! Actually, it was in Sept. but we always go somewhere before or after it to celebrate. I cannot believe we have been married that long. It seems like yesterday. So, we chose our favorite place in the world to celebrate!!

Eight weeks ago, I hurt my shoulder and had to go to physical therapy for six weeks. Those people can do miracles. My shoulder froze up and I couldn't raise my arm above my waist. I was very discouraged. After the first week, I could move it some. It just kept getting better and better. I have full range of motion with it now except for maybe a teensy bit in a position that is not used everyday, so I'm good with that. I have six weeks of home exercises using weights, stretchy bands, etc. So loading up those little items in a bag to use at Disney!! Yes, I will be making the DH do his weights too!! Why should I have all the fun??

Our magical Disney trip begins this Sunday. We are driving down to the Hampton Inn Orlando, Lake Buena Vista and spending the night. We can check into our room and go to Downtown Disney a few miles away. Then, we only have a few minutes to get to our Disney hotel, POFQ, for our stay until Saturday morning. We have a garden view room for 5 nights, 6 days. We got invited to test our the magic+ so I made our fastpass choices already. We have our bands too. I got pink and my DH has yellow. We are excited to participate in this and hope it goes swimmingly!!

I will try to keep this updated next week, but according to all the fun we will be having, I may wait until we get back. So, just keep watching. May have to send some pretty pictures!

So my tagged friends on here, that I will surely miss while gone and hope you are having a fun week too!!

Used bands for first time at HS. Didn't work. Tip: make sure you deregister any past tickets that show up in your Disney experience site. It picked up tickets that expired from previous trip.
Now off to DH's fav RnRC. Then fast pass+ for TSM!

DH had 153,600 pts! We won't say what I had:(
Rode in Star Tours twice. Two different rides. Love the pod race the best.
Lines are huge for TSM! Glad we had the fast pass+. We got right in and on the ride in 3mts.
Starting to get hungry so park hopped to Epcot. Had trouble with the bands again. Gotta get that fixed! At least they gave us cards to use in case that happens.
Oh before I forget--got email invite to BOG for lunch!! Soo excited!! Picked out our time and food already. That's tomorrow!!
Stooped in at the Boulangerie Patisserie to pick up a sandwich. Sharing the cranberry apple on brioche. Very yummy! Get it warmed. image.jpg
Dessert was this cafe liegois. Very yummy!
