I came in march to celebrate my 30th birthday, and to realize a childhood dream, with my boyfriend.

It was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip... And here I am, planning for October 2008, and bringing two friends along with my boyfriend.

You need a reason to go to WDW?
Well, I need to see the joy on the faces of my family. (and on me when I'll look in a mirror!)

We'll the first time I went was with my wife(10 years ago) and we LOVED it, think I want to retire there! Well 10 years later I'm not with my wife anymore but have a DD10 and a DS7 and I'm taking them myself for 7 days. They have never been on a plane and it's been over 20 years since I've been on one. But I know the 3 of us will have an great time! I want my children to experience what I experienced 10 years ago,MAGIC!

We needed to take a vacation and weren't sure where. And we couldn't pass up on the deal with free dinning and with the deal we got on airline tickets.

We've gone Feb 06 and Feb o7. Before that we hadn't gone since 1999. We weren't even sure if we were going to go again for a few years but "free dining" happened. Now we're going this September!

62 days left!!!

We we're originally going for our 5th consecutive winter vacation, but now it's turned into taking my niece and nephew for the 1st time trip. I can't wait to show them DW!!!!! My niece and I are doing the Dolphins in Depth Tour.

Let me start by saying that given about 30 seconds I could come up with a half dozen convincing reasons to go but the actual reasons are:

1. Its been WAY too long since we've been there (almost 10 years!)
2. My sister graduated from high school last year and turned 18 so this is her BIG celebration (she's been requesting it since the last time we were there but with me in school I haven't been able to swing it)
3. I turned 25 in April so my BIG belated birthday present to myself!
4. I just finished working a year at my first full time job!
5. I'm starting law school next August so this is our last opportunity to go for awhile and we didn't want to miss it.
6. I get to go with my 2 best friends in the world (mom and sis) so what could be better than spending a week with just the 3 of us in the happiest place on Earth?

With so many reasons we couldn't pass up the opportunity!

My husband's sister lives in Florida and is getting married this November. So, I convinced hubby to make the trip our long overdue family vacation as well. Thanks Ladawn! I love WDW and am so glad that something lit a fire under my husband's backside

We are going to WDW this year for several reasons. First my husband and I have a mutual love for Disney. September 15th will be our Second Anniversary and WDW is the best place to spend time together. After/During our September trip we are planning on having a baby, so this is going to be a special trip with just the two of us before it becomes the four of us (DS is 15). This trip will probably be our last for a couple of years.

My children are 7, 5 and 2. Santa Clause will be bringing a surprise trip to WDW for Christmas this year. We will be staying at the WL from January 1st through the 7th. My oldest is dangerously close to losing his faith in Santa. I fear that we may only have one year left where he truly believes. If that ends up being the reality, I wanted to make sure that Santa really delivered something magical this year.

[avantgardeinker]

We're going because we didn't get to go last year (first time to miss in 6 years) and we missed it HORRIBLY!!!

147 more days!!

We're going in November to celebrate my husband's return from his deployment in Kuwait. He's been gone 16 months. He'll be home 2 weeks, then off to Disney! I can't think of a better treat for the whole family.

We're going because the fishing here stinks and I plan on doing some serious Bass fishing on the stocked lakes. As you can tell by my screne name, my wife lets me get my way a lot.

Well, my wife, who's not the world's biggest Disney fan, is the one who suggested it, a SHOCK to me. It's always been our plan that we wouldn't go to WDW again until our youngest was in grammar school, so we wouldn't have to worry about strollers, diapers, how late we could stay out, etc. That would put us at about 2012/2013 for our next trip.

But we got to talking and figured that would not be fair to our oldest, who is 4 now and will turn 5 during our trip. By the time we went again, she'd be 9 or 10 and my wife just thought it would mean more to her to go at a younger age, since she loves Playhouse Disney, the princesses, Winnie the Pooh, etc. So we planned it for this year, for her.

A couple of other factors played in:

1. My wife is NOT a hot/humid weather person. As my oldest daughter starts kindergarden in fall 2008, this really is our last opportunity to go with the kids out of season between this fall and next spring and not have to go during the summer. We originally looked at this past May, but that wasn't enough time to plan/save. Then we REALLY wanted to go in Sept to get free dining, but we planned a trip to the Outer Banks last fall with my family, so we didn't want to go two trips either back to back or so close together. So trying to go off season and before our daughter goes to school, we picked this year.

2. I've always wanted to go down there during Christmas time and, again, this would be our last chance for a LOOOOOONG time. So we planned it right after Thanksgiving.

So, those are our reasons.

Wedding Anniversary...3rd year !...we were married at Disney and try to return each year to celebrate

Disney was suposed to be our honeymoon location. Then DH got a new job and they wouldn't give him more than 2 days off for a honeymoon.
So on our 5 year anniversary, he suggested, out of the blue, "Let's go to Disney World! We never got to take that trip!" I went on my first adult trip. Sometime on our first night, during Fantasmic, I fell in love with Disney World.
DH was interviewing for a new job, and he said, "If I get this job, we are going to Disney World." Well, he got the job. His offer letter says, "I guess you'll be going to Disney World" in it.
