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.

Coming up next… our plans including ADRs

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.
