| The Little Trip That Could-- Part III: 4 parks, 2 hearts, 1 world, and the Boardwalk! **Updated 10/14** COMPLETE I know you guys already think I am crazy so I figured starting my TR before I actually left for Disney World would not be surprising to you at ALL! So without further adieu… here’s where it all began! The minute we got on our DME bus to bring us home from WDW last summer I knew I wanted to go back. We were kicked out of our Disney high when Rob and his roommate were told they had 30 days to move out because their landlord was selling the house they rent (TWO DAYS after we got back from Florida!)! So it took some time to recoup but Rob and I moved in together because of it and all seemed to be where it should be! I saved money here and there and through ups and downs Disney kept getting pushed off! First Spring Break, then Memorial Day, then Thanksgiving, then New Years, then Christmas, and finally late summer! It was a big mess that started with DLR and DCL and ended with us returning “home” and staying at our first Deluxe Resort on Deluxe Dining! So, we will be in Disney World from August 26th-30th 2008 at Boardwalk Inn! Our plans are as follows:  Tuesday the 26th: After Checking in head over to MGMTour the park, ride some rides, and head to Brown Derby around 4:30 for our 4:40 ADR with the FDP! Aftewards head over to the hotel to see our room (if its not ready on our arrival) then catch Fantasmic at 8:30!  Wednesday the 27th: We will start out the day with either breakfast or lunch at Crystal Palace... haven't decided yet. Then see Magic Kingdom for the day! Head to Epcot for our 5:30 dinner ADR at Les Chefs and enjoy Epcot Thursday the 28th: We don't have a set plan and both of our meals are scheduled in the Epcot resort area-- 9:30 breakfast at Cape May Cafe in the Beach Club and 5:05 dinner at Spoodles. We may see Animal Kingdom in between or just chill or maybe hit a water park, who knows? Friday the 29th: Today is our planned AK and we have a 4:50 ADR at Cap'n Jacks in DTD. One of these days we will probably see Wishes but I am not sure yet.  Saturday the 30th: Final day! So we will check out, check our bags, and head to Epcot for a fond farewell and lunch at San Angel Inn. This trip is our 3rd year in a row going to Disney together and pretty much the 3rd trip for the both of us! I love it and its one of the few things that I ask of Rob each year (yes, even though I am Monica-Gellar-organized I am a pretty low-maintenance chica- lol)! Hes resistant at first but we are both totally looking forward to vacation! And, Rob isn't totally onboard for a Fall trip to run a Disney race next year but we may still take a long weekend even though we both have our hearts set on seeing the world outside the Disney bubble. We are doing a Turkey Trot 2 mile run this Thanksgiving and I thought it would be fun to run together in Disney- but we may just run locally instead! As my Challengers know, I have been working on getting in shape and exercising with the Couch to 5k Program! I have so far lost all the weight I gained last year! A great start, and can be credited to the great weight loss community right here on the PP boards! More to come and more to go! But I can always get my Disney fix at Disneyland Paris, right? lol! The Characters, are as mentioned: Me (Melissa, 25 year old 9th Grade World History Teacher) and Rob (my DBF of 7 years, 23 year old ICT Technician for IBM). We have another member of our little O’Hana and his name is Liam. He is a 3 year old Lab/Pointer mix and we love being his puppy parents! He will be staying with my parents for the duration of our trip!         Crissy (scdisneyfan), Amanda (amandal) and I decided that we would exchange phone numbers and text eachother live updates during each of our trips respectively! It was tons of fun doing this for Amanda, and I can’t wait to hear about Crissy’s EE5k trip next month… so expect to hear from the girls while I am away! I will try to send live updates to them each day but I am notoriously bad at remembering to have my cell onhand so don’t hate me if I forget! Well, I guess those are all the details for now! We leave tomorrow morning and I couldn’t be more excited! I feel like the little boy in the WDW commercial “I’m too excited to sleep!”  Just for any newbies, and all of you who miss me the next 5 days, here are links to the other threads in case you want some of the great info I learned and discovered through them! Little Trip That Could Pre-PTR (when we were planning to go this winter) PTR (when we made the change to Summer) And the early incarnations of the trips (DLR, Memorial Day & Spring Break at WDW)! TTFN!
