I hope this is okay to post here...
I am looking for an older trip report - early 2000s, though I don't remember exactly when. Here's what I remember about the report:
It was long :)
I think the writer was a DVC member.
The family was staying at BWV.
It was an extended family trip with in-laws (not sure if it was writer's sibling and family or the husband's sibling and family, but I know there was a BIL along).
It was the first time I remember reading the idea of using individual bags of Doritos as a "bowl" for taco salad.
I remember the TR writer was a woman. I want to say her name was Carol, but I could be totally misremembering that!
I remember there were ups and downs - plans not working out, people being crabby, arguments - at one point the TR writer was sitting in the closet crying. :(
I think one of the kids got an ear infection or serious swimmer's ear.
Does ANY of this sound familiar? I *loved* this trip report and would love to read it again...if I could only find it!
ETA: I found it!! I didn't realize there was an archived board, but once I found it, I used the site:web address function and added 'doritos closet trip report' to the search and...voila...there it was!! The poster was Cindy (not Carol, but that's kind of close ;)) aka gopherit. The report is here http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=633355 for those who remember it and would like to relive it. Cindy, if you're still out there - THANKS again for posting such a wonderful, REAL report!
