Gotta admit. Disney World is awesome. Went down there when I was about 5, and then again with my fiance 2 years ago. We stayed at...Port Orleans French Quarter, it was absolutely wonderful!

What is this dining plan you speak of?

If you've never been to Universal Studios in Orlando I suggest you hit that, its blows MGM out of the water. Heck as an adult I liked it better than anything Disney had.

Universal sucks. Big Ass. It is a pretend Disney. You can do all they have to offer in about a half a day. And the staff are so rude. Not nearly as clean either.

And it is called Disney Studios now.

So I re read my previous trip report and I have decided two things. I don't have a lick of sense. And I need some sort of censor button. Somebody stop me!!!


I guess I should list our cast members again just for hoots and Hollers.


Me, Geek. I am a Mom. I have been a Stay at home mom for over 9 years now. I have done many things to hustle some dolla bills. Like Ebay, daycare, etc. Now both kids are in school. I will warn you now, I find potty humor irresistible. Get out now if you find it unappealing. Run fast. And don't read the TR. I am 33, just a few weeks from 34.

Him, TGS (The Geek Spanker). I am crazy about his family and can't wait to get them to Disney with us someday. More about TGS. He is smart. Very smart. He hides it well.

DS My son just turned 9 years old. He was born a gentleman. I really can't take credit for how wonderful he is. It is in his soul and eyes. He is pure goodness and takes after his father. He holds doors, is polite, bangingly smart, and so appreciative of anything he receives. He will be an amazing man.

DD My girl just turned 6. She is trouble. She takes after me. Poor thing. She is feisty, and funny. She loves music and animals. She walks the tightrope of tomboy and princess like a pro. I love that. I love that she can be in her princess dress holding a frog in each hand. She has potty humor too (like these kids had a choice)

Grandma - My mom. She will be on board for our trip. Really she just likes alone time with the kids. She is the source of all my evil powers and weird impulses. She is adorable and looks like everyone's favorite grandma. She has a way of talking to people that puts them at ease and allows her to tell them anything. Lipstick on your teeth? Fly unzipped? Grandma has got your back.

Grandpa He is a saint. He is a hard working, very funny guy. He loves playing with the kids. And they are crazy about him. This year, he should appear more in my trip report, because he will be with us every evening and two days in parks.



I am jonesing for Disney. I can't lie. Our One day sneaky visit was last April. I need my Disney. I like once a year, long leisurely vacation. Almost decadent use of tickets and time. Hot? Let's go to the pool for a few hours.. Tired? Sleep in! This year we a ripe for Disney. Ripe. Ripe was a word Grandma always used for stinky armpits. That's about where I am now. I am stinky for Disney.

I want my POP. I want my ADRs. I want to break in our Dining plan. What will that be like? I wonder. I am trying to eat more now to stretch my stomach out so I can get the most bang for my buck.


This is my first pre trippie. I will try to include the hand painted outfits, the Tinkerbell presents, ADR plans. I want to try out the Princess and Pirate Party. TGS can be the princess and I will be the Pirate.


Small talk. I just realized I suck at it. So bad. I have two examples for you.


I was watching my daughter's soccer game. (Which is really a blob of kids running in a pack together for 40 minutes too long at this age) And making the dreaded "small talk". The nice lady had described a restaurant and how fancy it is. Super fancy, leave the kids home and get dressed up kind of fancy. I was nodding and tried to make some noise out of my mouth to show I was paying attention. So I said "So it is real Ritsy Titsy?" My brain stalled. I can't believe I just made up a word like Titsy and tried to pass it off in an adult conversation. So of course, this has sent me into a fit of inappropriate giggles which, to my horror, turned into an all out crying laughing, slapping my knees, farting heckle. I could hardly breathe at my own embarrassment. For Pete's sakes. It's bad enough I said it. No need for the spectacle of me dissolving in to hysterics.


Another example.

Gesturing with a tampon while talking to prominent community officials does not make your point more valid. I was digging through my purse getting my keys, when I was stopped by an important official to discuss some community issues. Not a problem, I was on my game this time. I made my case, with lots of elaborate hand gestures, as I always do when I a passionate about an issue. In horror, out of the corner of my eye, I see that I am holding not just my keys, but a tampon as well. My heads up response "Oh Look, I have a tampon, but I am not on my period right now or anything."



More poor son, may have inherited this gift. The other day after eating a Peppermint Patty, he told me "Mom, every time I eat one of these cookies, I feel like I am sweating!"

Girlfriend and I just changed our trip next month to Disney. Going to trade in the old time share to stay at Marriott's Cypress Harbour. Not bad since I am trading in my lockout unit for a $210 a night 2 bedroom. Its also 10th ranked out of close to 300 hotels on tripadvisor.

Its been about 8 years since I have been and this will be my 9th or so trip. GF was there about 8 years ago and that was her first trip. We are actually looking forward to the drive and this trip more then our previously planned Vegas trip. Vegas we go every year, but airfare was about $400 a pop and the flight times that worked the best were out of IAD. The return flight didn't leave until close to midnight Vegas time. I know to some this may seem silly but Disney looks to be the best choice.

I think we are going to get the 5 day hopper, and a day at Discover Cove to swim with the dolphins. Has anyone done this before (dolphins?) It looks like fun.

Where's the best place to get Disney tickets? In my short search it looks like AAA is the best place.

Veeery tight budget. We'll probably have to save for a while.

If your looking for a place to stay, let me know when your looking. I can rent you my time share there for about 1/2 the price of a hotel for a weeks stay. I always end up renting one of my weeks out. Even if I already have rented it out I can usually find some cheap deals they call getaways and I think I can "gift" those to people.

This isn't meant to be an advertisement. I don't gauge or make more then a $50 profit once fees and interest charges are in. I have done this for people at work before though and they have always been happy.

I can't wait to do Disney! My kids are only 1 and 2 though so they are still a little too small to enjoy it. Maybe in 2 more years... that seems like forever :mad:

TGS threw a peeing Frog at me!!!!

Ya know. This wasn't very nice. I went to the front door to open it for . TGS who had something in his hands. As he is stepping in the house the frog his is holding, jumps out of his hand, peeing I herd the dogs to protect the frog while TGS hops around trying to grab the frog. When he gets it, it pees again and hops at me again! Finally I shoo hubby and frog out the door. Why was he launching bladderly challenged frogs at me? He wanted to show the kids the frog. Awww. I forgive him a little bit.


So it is time for a pre trip update, because I saw the Jon and Kate plus 8 where they went to Disney. It was so sweet to see Main Street and Chef Mickey's. While we are watching DD sees one of the seven dwarves and says, "There's old Dumpy". So of course, that's TGSs new nick name.


I was checking out canvases for my home made outfits at Wal mart. DD wants a Chip and Dale theme and DS wants a vintage ticket theme.
