Life is too short for self-hatred and celery sticks.....
to my pre-trip report that will evolve into a live trip report in just 8 days and then continue into a post trip report. I like to cover all of my bases. 
Count down along with me
8 days until WDW!!!
A friend of mine suggested I do my trip report over here as DVC will be the main focus. Thanks Alison. There will be some AoA, MNSSHP, park time, and F&W experiences too. The majority of my research has been on DVC and which resort to choose and after many many threads, as some of you can attest to and hours of research
, we finally decided on the THV and AKV Kidani savannah view. 
I think I spent more time researching resorts than I did completing my Masters degree. 
I'm kind of a chatty thing and even so this report will be photo heavy. I'm visual and want to see and share what's a happening hot stuff. Sixteen Candles anyone?
Let me begin by introducing my family and friends who will be going on this adventure.
The five of us, aka the Fugly Five, at Disneyland last November:
Me and DH on a recent trip to Nantucket:
On our boat on a local reservoir:
And our typical dynamic:
Gabby DD15:
Chloe DD13:
Mikayla DD's bestie 14. This is a pic of all 3 girls after they met One Direction (boy band) in Las Vegas this summer. Note their freaked out faces. From left: Gabby, Kayla, Chloe
Joshua DS11 after a rare Raiders win:
Needless to say we're a little crazy but in a good way. We've got a fierce bond that's for sure. We love to have a good time and believe strongly in the rights of others and human dignity.
Worth noting is that DH is a total foodie/amateur chef. Here are a few examples. He is such a great cook. Hope F&W lives up to the hype:
We've also got some friends that will be spending most of the first week with us:
Poor little Emma is so tired here.
Just the kids. This was a few years ago:
This trip is in celebration of Chloe becoming a bat mitzvah in May 2012. Instead of a huge party she chose a family trip to WDW. I couldn't be more pleased with her decision. She worked very hard during this process including years of religious school, learning Hebrew, and wrote a kick butt d'var Torah.
Cont. in next post......

It does feel more homey over here. 
I'm thinking breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs that will be either dipped in something or filled with something delicious. No celery! 
I'd be at the corn dog cart for sure. Which signature would you cancel? And bummer about the renewal. They happen every year and they seem to creep up on me. 
I do love a good surprise.
Thanks for joining us. I know, I posted so many threads. 
I gained so much valuable info and believe it or not, I still feel underprepared.
