You want to ride Dumbo again??! a September trip report with two young children
Hello and welcome!
This is my first trip report here on the DIS boards! I'm so excited to share our adventure with all of you. I really enjoyed reading other trip reports while I was preparing for our vacation so I wanted to share my experience.
First, our cast of characters:
Me! My name is Rachel and I'm fairly new to these boards. I'm a mother of two amazing children. The last time I went to Disney World was in 1991 when I was 10. My family went three times when I was a child and I have some very fond memories of our vacations there. I was really looking forward to visiting as an adult and sharing the fun with my children.
Next is my wonderful husband, Travis. He's a great sport. This trip wasn't necessarily one he was super excited about. He's been to Disney before and didn't love it. I was hoping this trip might win him over.
Then there is my sweet little boy. He's 2 ½ and is an energetic, fun-loving, happy little guy and a joy to be around. I'll call him Little Bear in this report. He got that nickname when he was little because he would growl when he got excited about something, especially food!
Last, but not least, is my precious baby girl. She's 5 months old and is the sweetest, happiest, most laid-back, best-natured, little girl you've ever met. I call her Buttercup because of her sweet and sunny personality.
If you're wondering how a trip went with two young children in the heat of September...keep reading!
