Default Dunn's Family Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary

Well we are officially 12 days now from our arrival at WDW. I'm going to try and post as often as I can while we are there. We arrive on December 24th and will be staying at BLT (one bedroom LV) for 16 days (leaving January 8th). The trip includes myself (37), DW (33), DS (will be turning 1 on this trip) and my mother (60) and father (60) in-law who will be with us from December 24th thru December 31st. We will be celebrating my son's first trip to WDW, first b-day 12/30, and our 11th wedding anniversary. So there will be a lot of buttons on display (any fellow MO out there keep a look out for us).
I have been planning this trip officially since 01/24/11 (unofficially since June 2010) so it has been a very long trip countdown for me.
We have so many things planned from 46 dining reservations, private firework cruises, a sleigh ride at Fort Wilderness, family portrait session all the way down to my son's first hair cut at Harmony Barber shop.
You should see my iPhones calendar. Anyway like I said I will be posting as often as I get a chance to and will either post pictures on here or have a link to my photography website.
Wish us luck!!!

WOW! So many things to celebrate , that is terrific! How exciting for your son to celebrate his 1st birthday in Disney!
The first trip for my kids will always be one of my best memories...love the look on their faces the first time they see Cinderella Castle, or a favorite character in person. Treasure every minute! Have a magical trip

Awesome! We are celebrating the same types of things at WDW next week. Our trip is a lot shorter than yours, but we are also celebrating Christmas, my daughter's 7th birthday and our 11th anniversary!

Sounds like you have a LOT planned in your trip...be sure to pack in a little "rest" time too. Have a wonderful vacation and thanks for sharing it with us!

Well we are 6 days out now and we lost one member of our trip. My father-in-law has some health issues and after discussing with him he has concerns about his ability to stay up with us or even stay healthy for the 7 days they will be there so he has backed out of the trip. So I went ahead and called MS and go him taken off the reservation as well as all the dining reservations. Can't wait though.
