Matt UGA's "Man Has a Dream" Trip Report Updated 10/20

Have you ever wished you were at Disney when you can't? Well, that's the reason I"m starting this pre-trip report six months in advance, to the day. So to quote my favorite show at Walt Disney World, "Man has a dream and that's the start" and that's how I came about creating this trip report for my most anticipate trip yet! Stick with me on this trip report. It will be sporadic but I will keep you up to date. I definitely plan on a few surprises for my wife and girls and I'll need your help on the way. Enough banter. On with the show!


How it began…

This trip’s inception goes back to our last family trip back in September. We decided to upgrade the girls’ tickets to annual passes so we could have more freedom in our trips. On the drive back to Georgia, we lamented that we had only been on 3 to 4 day trips for the past couple of years and we really wanted to take a long trip. So we thought about what would work best for us and we decided upon the first week in June. This is one of our favorite times to go to WDW so it was a no brainer. After staring at our calendars (which included looking at a few weddings), we decided on June 1 through June 9th. This will be our longest trip ever to Walt Disney World.

One of the reasons we wanted a long trip was so that we could relax instead of running around all day and night. We also want to have time to try new things and spend time at the resorts. One of the things we want to try is the Mickey’s Backyard BBQ. If you have any other suggestions for things to try, please let me know!

To wrap up this first post, here’s a quick recap.

When
June 1 through June 9 2008

Where
WDW (resort to be determined)

Who
The Norris Family-Matt, Bethany, Allie, Lindsay, and Audrey


That's all I have for the first update. Expect another by tomorrow at the latest. Thanks for reading!


Up Next: Where to stay, where to stay…
Reward: Holidays Pixie x 1
