Smile First Things First & A Happy Anniversary PTR.

After many months of mulling it over I have decided to start my very first PTR!

Before I start, I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to share your TR's here. I have truly enjoyed reading them.

So off I go:

Title: First Things First & A Happy Anniversary .

I think that title is a perfect reflection of our trip.
The many firsts included in this trip are:

First visits for three very special people.
First time my side of the family will be together for Christmas since my niece was born.
First Disney Christmas for everyone but me. I was very fortunate to be working at Epcot from ’95-’96.
First time I get to experience WDW as a Mom. This is beyond exciting for me. I tear up just thinking about introducing my “baby” to my beloved Disney World. (DH always says,"it is not just "YOUR" Disney World, you realize that right?" , but I know you all will understand.)
First time my family has taken a trip together, since my brother & I finished university & became self-supporting adults.

How this trip came about:

My Mom came into my office 2 ½ years ago and said, “Your Dad & I want to take the whole family to WDW for Christmas in 2009 to celebrate our 40thAnniversary.” “The only catch is you have to plan the whole thing & we want to stay at the BC.” Yup, I think I can live with those “catches” , so the planning began that very moment.

I am very fortunate to have such wonderful parents. My parents have worked extremely hard to get to where they are today…..which thankfully is happy, healthy, & retired. I could write a novel & still not be able to adequately express my love & appreciation for them. Hopefully this won’t run that long given that brevity is NOT my strong suit, & I am a details oriented kinda gal. Guess that is why I this place so much!

I will leave the intro at that for now, & will be back soon!

Up next: Cast of Characters, and was I able to book BC at 499 days out ? (Spoiler alert in my sig pic!!)
