Hello all!
My name is Deanna and I am brand new to posting here, but I've been a silent lurker for quite a while. I feel like I know many of you. lol I am planning a trip to WDW for November 11-16. 
Allow me to introduce myself! I am a thirty-something federal employee originally from FL who now resides in the great state of Louisiana. 
I am married to an amazing guy named Austin and I have three great kids ages 9, 11 and 15.
When this trip originally began to be planned about a year ago, it was only going to be Austin and I going on second honeymoon of sorts. He has NEVER been to Disney before. I have been 5 times previously. Unexpectedly I lost my mom in January. My older brother (who has also NEVER been to Disney) lived next door to her, and was really struggling with it. He and I have always been close, but we have gotten really close since her passing. Anywho, I invited him to come with us and so now I have two Disney virgins to take. 
Then my oldest decided to live with me full time (I share custody with my ex.) So he will also be going with us, as we cannot leave him home for a week alone. lol Also, his birthday is the following week, so this has also become his sweet 16 party of sorts. He's been to Disney 3 times before so he is also looking forward to showing the newbies around. 
Plans to come in the next post!!
. We will then head to FL. It will be late when we leave (around 5 CST) so we will stop when we get too tired (I assume around Mobile or Pensacola). We will then drive to my brother's house in the FL panhandle on Monday morning, pick him up and then make the rest of the journey to WDW. 
Artymis. My condolences to your family about your Mother. Sounds like a great trip!
on your trip! Yak & Yeti is one of my favorite restaurants, you'll love it! The Kobe beef burger is not to be missed!
