It Was the Best of Times & the Worst, But It Was the Best Trip Evah! - The DIS Discussion Forums

Wicket's Mom · 10-04-2011, 10:31 AM

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself & the rest of the crew. First is me, Doris AKA Wicket's Mom, then my Disney resistor DH, Bob. Next is my DIL Anne & our GDs Emily 8 & Kelly 5. This was the girls first visit to WDW. The dates of our trip were Sept.6 thru Sept.12 with our DIL & GDs going home Sept.10.

I had been planning to take my GDs on their first trip to WDW since our last trip in 2009. I wanted to share my love of Disney with them & see the look on their faces when they took it all in.

The week previous to our departure were extremely busy to say the least. My DH & I are involved in historical activities, including a huge event known as The Fair at New Boston. I have a large level of responsibility, so we must attend all weekend. I was really bogged down with responsibilites.

I had finally stopped stalling & got started. Thanks for the link help, I really needed it! I just got started with the IPhone, so am quite teched out in my brain for now!

Glad to have you on my first page of my first TR!

Labor Day was spent putting away our camp clothing & tent. I also had to finish with the packing for our trip & do the last minute details that have to be done before traveling. Our flight was leaving at 6:50AM on Tuesday .

Here is a photo of one of my usual outfits for the Fair. I have quite a few gowns, etc. for the historical interpretations that I do.

Getting on that plane Tuesday morning was the begining of a wonderful saga "that was the best of times, the worst of times & a far better trip than I have ever done", to paraphrase Charles Dickens!

Welcome, so glad that you're here!

We certainly had a great time in WDW. Of course there was a little drama, thus the worst of times!
