I Don’t Wanna Grow Up – 30th Birthday Trip x2, August 7-11, 2010
Today we are 3 months out, so I decided I better start this thing as you know my PTR and the countdown portion of it. This time since DH & I are both celebrating our 30th birthdays while at the world I made a countdown chain that included 80 links, since we were born in 1980. Also every link has a trivia fact from 1980, mostly Disney related, but there are a few that aren’t because I just couldn’t find 80 facts about Disney from 1980.
So on to the 5 W’s:
Who: Me – Kelly (29-turning 30 on the trip), 8th trip to the world DH – Mike (29-turning 30 on the trip), 16+ trip to the world (DH & I have gone every year since 2004) DS – Dylan (2.5), oh wait, he’s not going. That’s right. This is an adults only trip! Dylan will be splitting time with his grandparents – half the time with my parents and half the time with Mike’s parents. I’m sure he’ll be spoiled rotten upon our return.
What: Going to WDW!!
Where: Animal Kingdom Lodge, Jambo House, Studio – Concierge Level!! (Score! Thank you DVC!)
When: Saturday, August 7 – Wednesday, August 11, 2010
Why: Because we don’t wanna grow up! We’re leaving our 20s and entering our 30s in a place where you don’t have to grow up! And what better place to celebrate a milestone birthday than WDW! (I’m thinking we’ll have to go for our 40th, 50th, etc. birthdays too!)
So far we have had the following countdowns:
2/7/10 – 6 months to go: The Industrial Bank of Japan announced it and nearly 30 other Japanese banks have agreed to loan money to the Oriental Land Company to build a US$300 million Disney theme park in Tokyo on January 28.
3/7/10 – 5 months to go: Disney appointed Tom Wilhite to be the new Vice President in charge of development for feature films and television.
4/7/10 – 4 months to go: Buena Vista released the live-action feature film Midnight Madness to theaters on February 8.
And tonight Mike will read: 5/7/10 – 3 months to go: The NBC TV network aired the Disney's Wonderful World show, entitled Donald's Valentine Day Salute on February 10.
By the way – my countdown ‘facts’ are chronological throughout 1980.
YAY you started! NOW take it from me turning 30 in the world is SOOOOO worth it I the title! I am so excited you guys get some adult time and are celebrating your 30th at WDW like I did....its so great
too cool on the countdown...I gotta come up with one for mine and Eric's but we are 4 months 3 weeks...I got plenty of time LOL
Yay, you started! Great way to celebrate the big 30(and you & Mike feel the same way I do even for 2 1/2 years before I turn 30, don't want to grow up). However they dosay 30 is the new 20.I love your trivia. More please!
Yay, it has begun!! And having celebrated my 40th there...I agree, you should keep going back for b-day celebrations!! It is truly the place where you can be a kid at ANY age.
It's great to hear so many of you have celebrated birthdays in the World! We took Dylan for his 1st birthday, which was also his first trip, so I 100% agree that there's no better place to celebrate a 'big' birthday. We're already talking about next year when we go for #2's 1st birthday & trip.
And anyone please feel free to steal/borrow/etc. any countdown ideas or plans we have for this trip. I love sharing what we do and love to get ideas from others as well.
Great Start! DH and Headed to Disney for our 30th B-Days this year to but we have to do it late due to his job but still! Yeah to all of us born in 1980!
