Disney World 2009 - Preparing

I've always wanted to go to Disney world resort in Florida.  But my Tiff and I never went.  Well in December of '09, we got take that trip.  It turned out great, no stress and lots of fun times!

Let me roll back time to describe and fill in some details.  In the winter of '08, Noah (our son at age 4) decided we were going, we actually decided with his excitement as a driving force, but wasn't sure when, what resort, and for how long.  After many months of research, in February I booked our Disney world resort and park portion of the trip in December.  It felt so easy, being a computer geek I wanted to book online but had so many unanswered questions.  So I called their booking number.  And WOW what great customer service.  I was on the phone for about 30 minutes booking and getting my answers.


Cool we are going on vacation now... how do we get there.  Disney offered to book our flight for us, but being an informed freak I decided to use the discount websites.  And OMG they were expensive.  Called Disney back almost same price.  For some reason I jumped on united.com to check out info and found a cheap flight.  Bamb it's booked, and this was middle March. 

Ok, now the waiting begins... 9 months to go.

Uh oh.  What we thought wasn't going to happen after many years of trying came true.  TIFF WAS PREGNANT.  It wasn't by accident, but with our luck we didn't think it was going to happen.  When is the due date, early February. Hurry do the math, she is going to be 32 weeks at vacation time.  Hmm, do we cancel?  Do we wait and see?  Well, obviously we waited.

All the months pass, during which We did a lot of reading, general planning, booking of our meals, calling Disney to apply the latest discounts, and documenting all the possible ways we could accomplish a successful and stress free vacation.

I'll be posting more articles on each day with pictures.  Check Back :-D  I know it was a long time coming.
