When there's a smile in your heart
There's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares goodbye
You can fly, you can fly, you can fly!
Hello everyone, and welcome to my 7th Trip Report! If you followed over from my PTR, welcome back, but if you are just now finding me for the very first time, welcome aboard! We had an amazing trip filled with lots of magical memories that I can't wait to share with you. But wait, who am I? Glad you asked. Let's get to the introductions, shall we?

First up is my little family of three. I am the chick on the right, also known as khertz. I'm a wife and mom, Disney lover, and pediatric nurse, in that order. This was my 11th trip to WDW, and I have been to Disneyland twice, both times last year. I also LOVE writing and reading trip reports, hence why you are hopefully following along with this one. Now for a few of my Disney favorites...
Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom
Favorite Rides: Splash Mountain, Peter Pan's Flight, Rock'n'Roller Coaster
Favorite Characters: Mickey Mouse, Rapunzel
Favorite Restaurant: Via Napoli
Favorite Shows: Boo To You parade, Dream Along With Mickey, Wishes, Mickey's Philharmagic, Festival of the Lion King
Favorite Movies: Tangled, Monsters Inc., Little Mermaid
Up next is my wonderful DH, sometimes to be found on the boards as DDuck4Life. He's an engineer working in the oil field juggling radioactive sources, a la Homer Simpson. Luckily, we both fell in love with Disney World in a whole new way on our honeymoon, or I don't know if this marriage would have lasted this long. Just kidding! But really, it's wonderful to share the love of all things Disney! This was his 10th trip to WDW, and he has also been to Disneyland 3 times. He also enjoys photography, trading Vinylmations, and Mardi Gras is probably his favorite holiday hands down. His list of favorites include...
Favorite Park: Hollywood Studios
Favorite Rides: Big Thunder Mountain, Tower of Terror, Mad Tea Party
Favorite Characters: Donald Duck
Favorite Restaurant: Sci-Fi
Favorite Shows: Main Street Electrical Parade
Favorite Movies: Wall-E, Princess & the Frog, Wreck-It Ralph
And rounding out our family is DS! He made 3 years old on our trip, and luckily for us, has turned out to be just as big of a Disney nut as his parents! He looked forward to this trip almost as much as I did, and enjoyed counting down the days with me by removing a Mickey head from our countdown calendar each day. I'm not entirely sure he understood what the entire process was for, as he asked to take down a Mickey head at times while we were IN Disney World, and has done so a few times since getting home. But nevertheless, he again had a wonderful time celebrating his birthday for an entire week at the place where dreams come true! This was his 3rd trip in as many years, and he has also been to Disneyland once. His favorites all pretty much overlap as you will definitely notice a theme of things he REALLY likes.
Favorite Park: Magic Kingdom
Favorite Rides: It's a Small World, Prince Charming's Regal Carrousel, Mad Tea Party, WDW Railroad
Favorite Characters: Lightning McQueen, Mickey Mouse, Peter Pan, Dusty Crophopper
Favorite Shows: Disney Junior Live on Stage, Main Street Electrical Parade, Dream Along With Mickey
Favorite Movies: Cars, Cars 2, Peter Pan, Planes
For a few days of our trip, we overlapped with some of our family members, my parents, my sister and her BF, and my in-laws. I didn't call to ask their favorites, so you will just get a photo and a quick intro to them.

Poppi & Nonni on the left, and if you read my TR from last year, you probably remember them! My parents, who definitely don't spoil DS at all, considering he is their first and only grandchild. And with them, my sister Katie and her boyfriend Mitchell. My parents started taking us on trips when I was about 12 and my sister was 6. I used to make fun of how much planning my mom did, and would get so embarrassed every time she whipped out her little notebook to take note of how much we enjoyed or didn't enjoy an attraction or meal. If only I had known then that I would end up being 10x worse!

And finally, my in-laws, also known as Mammy & Pappy. They are DH's mother and step-father, and you may also recognize them if you read my very first TR from our 2009 Christmas trip where they also joined us. They also enjoy Disney, but I don't think they are as hardcore as the rest of us! But they still had a good time.
Now that you have met everyone, let's go over the basics of this trip.
WHEN: October 22nd-30th (with our family joining us in the parks from the 23-25...they arrived before us and left before we did)
WHERE: Wyndham Bonnet Creek with one night at the Royal Pacific Resort
WHAT: One day at Universal Orlando, followed by 7 days in WDW, including our first MNSSHP
WHY: To celebrate DS's 3rd birthday, which occurred during the trip!
I hope you found all of that interesting enough to join along in our adventure, because I sure do have a lot of fun and magical memories I can't wait to share with you!
