And now for the people who have made this trip possible, my wonderful parents. (DH, the kids and I went in February 2010 so we didn't plan on going back this year, but my parents who live 15 hours from us wanted a family vacation. So they are treating us to Disney. Don't you just love DVC.)

Jim and Jayme

Up next: Where we are staying.

[Jesser Girl]

So when it came to picking a place we were all over the place.

I mentioned DVC. My parents weren't always DVC member In fact that weren't DVC member until May of this year.

So when we originally made our reservations it was for Pop Century. We really do love it at Pop., but we talked about upgrading to CBR if we ended up with free dinning. Well my mom calls me in May and tells me that they are now proud members of DVC I celebrated and did a happy dance. Then picked the phone back up and said "that's cool" (Kind of like I was John Travolta in Grease.) She says to me "Well you know what that means don't you?" Me acting all cool says "oh yeah sure" She says "Can you believe it, we are going to stay at a DVC resort" Thats when it all hit me and really stuck . So I ask "Well where are we staying" She is like "Where is the one place you and Hope want to stay more than anywhere at the World." Me "Animal Kingdom Lodge" My mom "Well you guessed it." We got lucky 4 Studios at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Oh yeah did I mention my mom is using her points for all 4 rooms. She is an . Yes she is.

So that is how we ended up at the one resort I have wanted to stay at for the past like 4 trips.

I am such a kid when it comes to Disney.

Up next: FOOD (So Important )

Love it so far....can not wait to hear more

[Jesser Girl]

Ok so in this post I decided to do Dinner Reservations and clothing schedule.

You might ask "Why a clothing schedule"? Well here is why. I am not a super anal OCD freak , well I don't think so but everyone else tells me different. Most of all my DH, mom, and my best friend. But I am enough to admit it.

Hi My Name is Jessica and I am OCD, super organized, and anal about my plans.

Well I was getting tired of over packing. My kids would match everyday, but I was over packing outfits. So I decided to plan out the outfits this year. So far I like it. DH is not part of the clothing schedule, he will ask once we get there "what should I wear" Why can't he just get on boat with me.

Thanks!

So I was wondering if you can see the pictures or are they just blue boxes with ? marks, because on my screen they are blue boxes with ? marks.

They are a pretty awesome cast, and they are all wonderful targets to shot. For photography that is. I enjoyed taking the pictures of them while I was home in Illinois.

I can see the pictures in the attachments, but they are red X's in your text, which means they are not linked correctly. Click on the picture to open the attachment, then copy the URL of that picture. Go back into your text box, and click on the picture icon (the mountain/sun) which will bring up a window. Highlight the text in the window, and then paste your text from the URL into the box (then click OK), and that should put the picture into your text box.
