Hello all,
The excitement and need to plan has gotten to me now, so I thought I'd start my PTR so all my thoughts can be in one place! Not expecting hoardes of readers, but I'd like to have this all saved somewhere for when DD is older so if she gets the Disney bug (she better! ) then she can look back at her early trips.
So I will start with introductions:
First there's me -
Victoria AKA Mummy
29 and the main Disney obsessee of the family, although not by much.
I love WDW with all my heart, so DLRP was booked somewhat of a small fix while we wait a year or two for a WDW trip, but I’ve since become so excited about our trip that it’s like our first DLRP trips before we’d been to WDW! Plenty more on why I’m so excited to come.
I’m the planner, holiday booker and trip-coordinator. While Jack loves the trips as much as I do, I enjoy the build up immensely!
Favourite Character: Daisy Duck
Favourite ride: Tower of Terror
I'll let you figure out who's who!
Next on the list:
Jack AKA Daddy
Also 29 and a big Disney fan.
When we first went to DLRP it was all my idea and he was just along for the ride (although he was a big Disney/PIXAR fan before the trip, but wasn’t overly fussed about holidaying at Disney) by the end of that trip he was a convert!
Basically if I suggest a non-Disney holiday now his answer is “That money would get XYZ at Disney”
He was more keen on the idea of DLRP as DD’s first trip then WDW as I think he finds the idea of a long flight quite daunting (don’t we all!) – and so this trip came to be.
Favourite Character: awaiting his answer....
Favourite Ride: Big Thunder Mountain (his first ever rollercoaster when he went to DLRP with his family when he was young)
And finally, the most important member of our family:
Aibeline AKA Aibee
(Rhymes with Maybelline/Baby)
Don't have a photo of her at the parks yet. So here's one of her doing some research.
Will be 22 months when we go, almost 23, so this is partly an early 2nd birthday trip for her.
We of course started her Disney brainwashing very early (in-utero really as I always have Disney music on in the car and while at my desk at work) and of course everyone who knows us bought her lots of Disney books/toys/clothes when she was born and for her birthday/Christmas etc.
We have waited a long time to have a tiny Disney fan to take with us on our trips, so it’s really going to be extra magical.
Last year we had a couple of theme park trips, to Chessington and Legoland, Aibee loved the rides and was SO excited to meet the Octonauts (who she had no clue who they were, just was desperate to meet the big characters) that I’m very hopeful she’ll be quite at home in Disney. Of course we won’t rush in to anything too overwhelming but fingers crossed we won’t scar her for life!
Favourite Characters: Minnie (Millie) Mouse, Mary Poppins and ‘Punzel
Favourite Ride: To be decided.
