Hello to all our Disney loving readers out there! Tinkgurl and xoktenox are here to start a brand spankin new PTR for our joint trip to WDW this July!! First, well start with introductions
~xoktenoxs group:
Hey everyone! Id taken a little hiatus from the disboards but Im back now
I apologize to anyone who was reading my Nov/Dec TR that I ditched
Im unfortunately not going to finish it. But Im really excited to start the PTR for two reasons
one, it means were going back to WDW! And two, I get to write it with one of my bestest friends in the whole world, tinkgurl!
For those of you who dont know us, heres our group theres only two of us haha
Me, Kristen- Im a 22 year old financial service rep for a local credit union. I graduated college in 2008 and am in grad school right now to become a social studies teacher!
(I twirl my hair obsessively)
My boyfriend, Chris- Hes a 25 year old cable technician who loves everything and anything to do with cars. Hes obsessed!
Im the Disney addict out of the two of us, however; this will be mine and Chris third time in WDW together (we went in April 2009 and November/December 2009) and he loves it more every time we go. Well be in the World from July 20-28 staying at Pop Century Resort with 8 day park hopper tickets, 5 fun visit tickets from a previous stay and the basic dining plan.
For those of you who dont know, tinkgurl and I live 1000 miles from one another literally. Weve never met but we talk everyday and I even have the honor of being a bridesmaid in her upcoming wedding! So although this will be our first time meeting in person, its going to be like meeting someone who Ive known forever. I cant even describe the excitement Im feeling to not only get to go to my happy place again, but to get to spend the time with two of the people I love the most in the world! And Im also sooo thrilled to get to meet her family while were there too!

This is a very big trip for us! It will be our usual 5: me, Fiance, Sis, Mom, and Dad. And, we have some more family coming along this time! Grandma and Grandpa (last time at WDW was in 2001), Uncle (last time at WDW was in 2006), Step-Cousin (I'll call him Cuz) (last time at WDW was in 2006), the little guy (cousin) (THIS IS HIS FIRST TIME!).
*Sorry this pic is blurry. The camera was not cooperating that day.

Front row: Cuz and Mom, Second row: Grandma, little guy, Grandpa, Third row: Uncle, Fiance, Me, Sis, Dad.
Here's another pic of us all taken a few years ago. As you can see, we're missing just one person on this trip. My Aunt, the boys' mom, passed away in 2008. We miss her every day and know that she will be there with us in spirit.
We'll be staying at the Contemporary from July 19 to July 24. The Contemporary is Grandma and Grandpa's choice. They took Uncle, Mom & Dad (dating) to WDW and stayed there way back in the day. We stayed at the Contemporary with them over Christmas in 2001. Now, they want to take us there for the little guy's first time. It means the world to them. On the 24th, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, and the boys are going home. My 5 are then moving over to OKW from July 24 to July 31. We are DVC members and have fallen in love with OKW!
So, as you can see, this is an exciting trip for us. Not only are we going to spend most of the trip with xoktenox and her BF, but it's also the little guy's 1st trip!
So there ya have it, the entire cast of the PTR! Theres a lot of us but youll know us well by the time we leave for WDW! Well also be writing a joint TR when we get back from WDW so we hope youll stick around for that later in the year! Thanks for joining in
