I’ve read so many trip report and dining reviews over the years, that I just really want to write my own report. Since all those reports have help me so much, I hope mine will help others. Plus, I have a little more free time, I can write here to keep me busy.

Hi- I’m Jennifer- a loving wife and wonderful mom to 3 boys. I love WDW, HP,and adore Thor. My DH is F and he is the reason I get to take this trip. He enjoys movies and video games.
When and Why:
November 11- 19, 2017
We will be traveling the week before Thanksgiving for a conference where DH can learn about his computer craft and I can visit the parks. This is the second year my husband is going to this conference! This will be the first trip without any of the boys (well maybe). Last year, we took our youngest with us and he thoroughly enjoyed it all. This year two of the boys are in college and the youngest is starting high school and no one wants to miss class. I’m impressed by their devotion to school.
The Middle One (will be going by MO from now on), E, and Bo- They are handsome if I must say so. (per the MO a purchase for this years trip is Thing 1 and 3 sweatshirts) Favorites for MO include Chip and Dale and robotics, for E are Dr Who and HP and for Bo- Transformers and HP.
This year we will be staying at the Royal Pacific Resort. We stayed there last year and I fell in love with it! Now we have done WDW and USO before. Normally we stay on-property at Disney. Well when work pays for the hotel, we stay where they are willing to pay. I mean Free is always better, Right? As you can image having college students, funds all go to them, and no trips to Orlando where on the plans for a few years. When DH said the job wants me to go to Orlando for this conference, I took the blessing and ran with it. We just had to get park tickets and his work has a discount program for that. Score!
Now I will admit that last year all my focus was on how to get to WDW if I was staying at RPR. I was nervous about staying at RPR. My only interest was Hogwarts. I can’t ride a lot of rides because of my size. When I left, my mind had change. I loved how close to the parks the hotel was located. The food at city walk was divine. And I could walk through the pre- areas of many rides without actually having to ride.
I hope that you will follow along as I plan this trip and then head out for my mostly solo adventures in the parks (One downside to HB being in training all day). I'll be figuring out how to post pics and responding. My spelling and grammar may fall short- Dyslexia will do that to you. We've only known a few days that we are going again so I'm still in the gathering my wits about me to plan the fun stage.
