Three Caballeros in WDW pre-trip report - **Updated 4/20** About This Page:

[Jammers]

That's right now we are three, my sister is going with us for the first half of our trip.
I had such a good time finishing up the TR from our Sept GG I thought I would start a report for this adventure. And every trip IS an new adventure, isn't it? The make up of your travel party completely colors the trip. Since this is an adults only trip it will be completely different.
But before we get to the trip let's introduce/re-introduce our cast of characters!

Yours Truly
Hi, My name is Jamie (hello Jamie) resident psycho trip planner. I'm mainly a mom but during tax season I help out at hubby's office. And if I can be frank(but you said you were Jamie) I hate it. I hate numbers, I hate dealing with other people's money and I have found in general I'm not to crazy about people. Not all people mind you, I mean I like all of you But I digress. What I do like about tax season is the recovery trip! This year it is Disney
Moving on...

This is Matt (Hi Matt). Resident numbers and financial whiz and trip financear Oh yeah, I'm crazy about him. We've been married 21 years and both love that little place down in FL. He is a CPA/partner in his firm. So most of the problems land on his desk. Just a little stress to go along with the long hours. He really needs a vacation now.
And last but not least....

My sister/best friend, Ramie (Hi Ramie) She is a relative Disney Newbie. Her first trip was our GG last Sept. Notice how well she and Matt get along. It is such a blessing that they are such great pals. Sure makes my life a lot easier since she and her hubby live right next door to us. Oh yeah did I mention.....
She is a longtime/loyal Dopey fan

notice the shirt and not 1 but 2 Dopey pins! Oh yeah my baby sis loves her some silent dwarf! Anyway she is coming along for the first part of our trip.
Now if you are familiar with me at all you will know that I am mom to a 4 year old princess in training, Serenity. You also my notice she is absent from the cast. Well that is because she isn't going. Now before you go all 'Bad Mommy' on me, let me say we have a huge 2 week WDW/ Free Dining/ Cruise vacation in the works for Sept. Serenity knows mommy and daddy are going away without her, she just doesn't know where SHHHH


Next up: We have WHO, now we need WHERE

Our first choice of resorts is alway POP Century. WE really feel you get a lot of bang for your buck there. So this was our go to resort.
I initially booked with the Disney Visa code for a free ticket upgrade to WP &More. Our dates were April 26-May 2. Then last week my sister asked if she could come with us for the first few days. There is no way I am going to say no to my baby sister so I set out to add her to our package. That was easier said than done. Things got confusing to me and I totally re did our plans. I canceled the package and booked room only with a code from Mousesavers and we bought MYW base tix. She got a 3 day and Matt and I got 5 days. Matt was a little upset to lose the parkhopper/water park option. So I sought a way to make him happier. What to do, What to do.....
One more call to WDTC Now when Ramie leaves on the 30th we are checking out of POP also to change resorts to Coronado Springs for 3 nights. Something that would have been really difficult if not impossible with a package. I also changed our plane ressies so we are flying home May 3rd in the morning instead of May 2 in the evening . I was going to wait to tell him but I just can't keep a secret too well. I lasted all of 3 days then I told him last night and he was So now our trip is an extra day with some resort hopping thrown in.
