How will we ever use 42 snack credits? A Free Dining trip report - UPDATED 11/5

Well, we've been home for more than a month, and we’ve all gotten into the school routine, so I guess it's time to start this trip report!

Who: Me (Beth), DH, DS15, DDs 10, 9, 5
When: August 26 - September 2, 2010
Where: Pop Century
Why: Free Dining!

In the last couple of years, I have been fortunate enough to have taken a solo trip, a trip with my BFF, several trips with DH and one trip with my youngest daughter. (The report for my solo trip can be found here: http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/sharing-adventure-disney-world-trip-reports/201811-my-solo-trip-world-booked-back-week-complete-finally-4-24-a.html)

I had hoped to do a pre-trip report to tell you all about the origins of the vacation, the plans I made and the many changes that happened along the way. However, we had a bit of a rough summer, and I just wasn't able to get a PTR started. Our DS15 has special needs, and was in the hospital for over a week at the end of the summer. He got out the Saturday before we were scheduled to leave for WDW, only five days later! We were so thankful that we didn't have to cancel the trip, because our family really needed this vacation!

I will be back tomorrow with the start of our vacation, and I promise that it won't take me 9 months to finish this report!
