Hi everyone!
We are planning (booked already) a trip to:

Adventurers: Me (will be 44 then), Hubby (also will be 44), and DD (will be 8)
Resort: POFQ (love this resort)
Celebrations: 10 anniversary!! OCT 7th. And yes we are aware that there will be no (ahem) ALONE time to memoralize the occasion! We will just have to use our imagination, and pretend! LOL
Meetings: none planned, want to be free of stress other than getting to dinner on time!

This could all change depending on whether Disney offers FREE DINING at any other time than our anniversary week. Heck, I can PRETEND my anniversary is any day of the year if Disney will spring for the food! LOL
