40 days and counting

After watching the movie "Julie and Julia" I have decided to create a blog. The topic, my Disney Vacation with my family this year. We are exactly 40 days out, so what a perfect time to start the blog.

Here's where we stand. The last 3 trips we have have gone to Disney World, I made T-Shirts with characters on them that all were themed. The first year we took our niece, so we had a total of 4 corresponding shirts. Themes ranged from "Lilo and Stitch" to "Winnie the Pooh" to Minnie and Mickey. I also created shirts with all 4 park icons. (We each wore 1 icon). Since there were only 3 of us the following year, I had to create a shirt with all the icons on 1. Bottom line, the shirts have become my biggest contribution to our trip. I enjoy drawing them, and coming up with our themes each year. Usually the shirts all have to do with some place we have a dinning reservation, too.

As for the rest of the trip, my wife does all the planning, airfare, hotel, dining, she's great with all that planning. (If you need a good planner, she is available.) This year we are staying at Coronado Springs. Our favorite has been Port Orleans French Quarter.

This all started with our honeymoon. (well, started for us as a family that is) We have gone every year since, my wife has sometimes gone twice in a year. It is our family tradition, and it is a great vacation. My wife uses a planning website to help guides us each day, and I got to tell you, it has been spot on each time we have used it.

So this is where we are as we count down. What will you see in this blog? I will be giving an update on how the shirts are coming, let you know about our dinning reservations, and share some past Disney stories with you. We are just a regular family who loves Disney and loves planning and taking a trip to Disney World. Hope you enjoy it as we get closer to a week of sanity.

Stay tuned!
