Insert Witty Title Here... Pre-trip

So, how did this title come about? Well, ya'll are so inventive when it comes to titles. Lets just say... I'm not. So, if you want to make one up, have at it! Anyway, the big purpose of this trip is our first family vacation together. The girls and I haven't been since Feb of 2007, and Shad hasn't been since the opening week of MGM. The horror!! Could you imagine not going back in that amount of time?

When: September 17th -- 24th, 2008
Where: AKL!!!
Who:
Shad, 36 And yes, I did choose one of the goofiest pictures I have of him! Well except for the one with the bowl on his head, but that's a different story!


Me, Kelley, 29


Megan, 5


Natalie, 3 (will be 4 in Oct)


Ava, 2.5


How this trip came to be...
Thanks to Uncle Sam, I was getting a big refund... really big. We were out to lunch, and were discussing our different options. I said (of course, I mean, who wouldn't?) that I wanted to go to Disney. I hadn't been since that trip in February where Ava got soooo sick and we stayed a week later than jerk-boy (yeah, I'm still not very mature when it comes to him) and the older two.
Shad kinda pooh-poohed it, but then I got on his case about freeeeee dining, about how Ava would be 3 soon, yada yada yada. I could sense him getting a little tiffed, so I dropped that line of conversation, but I admit to possibly pouting a little bit.
About ten mintues later he sighs, and says... "Fine, lets go. As long as you get a job we can swing it." Really? Seriously? Yayyyyy!
Two weeks later I had a job. Which, BTW, I was going to get anyways. He didn't force me to get it. I just didn't want you guys to think that he's like that. He's not at ALL!

The rest as they say, is history.

Coming up... our itinerary!

The Itinerary

Wednesday September 17th
We have a 1:45 flight on Jet Blue out of Boston with a 4:49 arrival into MCO.
Other than a 7:20pm ADR at Boma, we really have no other plans for the night.

Thursday September 18th
Magic Kingdom EMH
Epcot in the evening, with a 4:30 ADR at Teppanyaki

Friday September 19th
Epcot EMH
MNSSHP that night, with a 4:05 ADR at Crystal Palace

Saturday September 20th
DHS EMH, with a 9:10 ADR at Hollywood & Vine
At 5, a sitter from Kids Nite Out will arrive, and Shad and I will be off to Victoria and Albert's for our official first anniversary dinner!! Afterwards, I think we're going to head over to the Adventurer's Club to see it one more time (Shad's first!) before it closes.

Sunday September 21st
Sea World... I've never been, and Shad requested it
Dinner at Steak & Shake... I can already taste the Frisco Melt!!

Monday September 22nd
Animal Kingdom EMH
7:40pm ADR at Chef Mickey's
Maybe Wishes at MK

Tuesday September 23rd
Open day, to catch whatever we haven't yet.

Wednesday September 24th
8:05 ADR at O'Hana
Maybe, hopefully, one more park, but it might be pushing it!
1:30pm flight back to Boston

We still have one more TS credit to use, but I think we're going to go for Beaches and Cream if I can use it there. Gotta do more research on that!

I know we're going to be there a week, but it feels like we're soooo not going to have enough time. I really want to show Shad everything, as the last time he went was opening week of MGM.

So there you have it... a brief outline of what's going on. We are open to any meets, just let us know!

To be continued as plans change... 'cause you know they always do!
