(Warning! this report will be PICTURE HEAVY)
The cast of this 10 day adventure.
The whole gang!
Our patriarch & matriarch A.K.A. Pop and MaHopie.these two kids love Disney more than any of us! And they are celebrating 45 years of wedded bliss!
My family (Disney fanatics, of course)
Our oldest son...his favorite vacation spot...anywhere Disney!
The middle child and the Queen of Drama! Her favorite resort...any Deluxe will do!
The Baby and definitely a third child! He keeps us running!
And us, your host and hostess of the Trip Report...Disney Dork #1 and #2. And dont let the hubby fool you -he's a closet Disney Fan.
This year, we decided to allow my sisters family to tag along. Ok..actually it was their idea to take a cruise.
Heres kiddo #1.her first Disney experience! (Im secretly trying to convert her to Disney Dork status -her parents just dont know it, yet)
And #2-his first Disney experience..my Disney conversion tactics arent working as well on him. There's still time, though-he's only 4.
And last, but not least...the Disney Novices -my sister & brother-n-law. Will a Disney conversion take place?? The jury is still out.
So here we are...a family of 11 with lots to share-fun, food, adventure, and pictures and more pictures and more pictures.(remember, I warned you...)
