Well, because I was slow as molassus in Ju-ly, they closed my original thread.
But, they didn't reckon on me being persistant, did they?
I made a promise that I would finish this report, if not for posterity,
then for my family's own enjoyment.
Besides, I need to get it done so I can do a Pre-Trip report for THIS SEPTEMBER!!!
[Hicks On Holiday 3 catchy title suggestions are now being accepted.]
So, for your continuing pleasure, I give you:
Hicks on Holidays 2 - Done Brung the Kinfolk, Part 2
A story of our family trip to WDW that took place Sept. of '07.
[Part one can be found here. ]
Here's a refresher course on the cast of "characters" (love ya, mean it):
Me (Sarah) - 39, SAHM Homeschooling mom, Disney compulsive planner.
Decided a Grand Gathering with dhs family sounded like a good idea. Sigh. Always planning our next trip to WDW.
John, aka Ninja Guy/Indiana Jones - 37, My handsome dh of 15+ years.
He really has studied to be Ninja AND an archaeologist. Hoping to retire from manufacturing and just dig stuff.
He tolerates my WDW obsession, mostly because once we get there, he has a great time.
Wondering whether this Mandatory Family Fun Trip was a good idea.
Hell be the one wearing sunglasses in all the pictures.
Disney Girl - My 13yo dd. The apple does not fall far from the tree with this one.
She says Mom, can you teach me to plan a WDW vacation?
I am so proud. *wipes a tear*
The Chef - My almost 11yo ds. Wants to be a chef when he grows up.
Knowledgeable in all things Lego, Star Wars, and animals.
Hoping to hit the LEGO store this trip.
Danger Boy - DS, almost 8. This one has The Kavorka AND two dimples to back it up.
(If you've watched Seinfeld, you know.)
Voted most likely to get lost at WDW.
The Inquisitor- DS, almost 6. Full of questions, 24 hours a day.
Loves the hotel, loves the buses, loves the monorail why the heck did we buy park tickets?
Oh, yeah, because he LOVES the trains. Sigh.
Good thing we love him!
Princess K - 4yo dd. This one is cute and knows it.
She and her younger sis received princess dresses for Christmas and plan on using them at WDW.
Will be over the top in love with everything at WDW.
Bitsy - DD, almost 3. Always in cahoots with Princess K, getting into something!
Doesnt remember the last trip, but has seen all the pics and is well versed in all things WDW.
Babycakes - DD1, this is her first trip.
Though she was quite possibly a souvenir from the last trip.
And worth every penny!
Also traveling with us:
Mom - MY mom, 69, who has never been to WDW.
She hasn't the foggiest idea what WDW is all about, and has seen very few of the movies.
Bionic SIL, 30 something -totally ready for the Disney experience and VERY happy to let me plan the whole thing.
That works for me. LOL
Pocohantas Jr. (d niece 10), and Stitch Jr. (d nephew 8) their first trip, and they are REALLY looking forward to it.
B is one of Disney Girls best friends, even though they are 3 years apart. Really wants to meet Pocahontas..
N is Danger Boys best friend, and probably is the 2nd. Most likely to get lost at WDW.
It probably will be big fun to have their best friend with them at WDW.
When we last left the Hicks they were:
...off to find the Mecca of Disney Stores,
A Bastion of Candy Goodness, and,
be still their itty bitty beating hearts, the LEGO STORE!
Next up: Don't shop on Saturday, and Mom finally loses it....
