Invasions of the Bushwackers >>>>title subject to change
Hello fellow Disney fanatics. This is my first attempt at a report so wish me luck.
Here is my story.
The reason for the title is because this trip will consist of 8 goofs, all of who live in a community in southeast Louisiana known as Bush, LA hence BUSHwackers.
This team consist of 6 grown-ups, some of who (like yours truly) refused to grow up and two little ones. Might be a reason we love Disney as much as we do.
I guess I should attempt to introduce you to the Bushwhacker team. Ok, lets start with me, y-knot, this is my report so I make the rules, rite?
I am David (how original were my parents)
and I am 41, and like I said, refuse to grow up. I made 4 trips to the world as a youngster beginning in 73 at the age of 7 and the last time in 85 at the age of 18. In 85 Epcot was still new but I did not go to Epcot. We had too much fun at the MK in the few days that we were there we did not feel the urge to go see a worlds fair,
after all, we just saw one in 84 in New Orleans. The thing I think I miss most is 20,000 leagues under the sea. Enough about me, for now, more to come later.
DW, who is much, much older than I (she robbed the cradle) is 42. She is mother of two (DD23 & DD8) and works a fulltime job, in which she does not allow me to forget.
Really, she is a very hard working medical professional and is a kinda neat freak. She is supper organized. When we are on vacation she is the one that will COMPLETELY unpack the suitcases and put all the clothes in the dressers and hang the hang-ups in the so called resort closet,
me on the other hand, will be happy living out of the suit case with the dirty clothes lying on the floor in the corner of the bathroom. 
Last Jan was her first ever trip to the world. I really loved watching her walk down Main Street USA the first afternoon we arrived. When we got to the castle I asked her what she thought. The only thing she said is that it was not what she was expecting. I asked her what she expected, an amusement park? She replied
..UHH
. I guess so. 
I had attempted to talk her into DVC when we booked that trip but she kept saying she did not think she would want to vacation at Disney THAT much. Needless to say, we bought into DVC by May and she is already talking about adding more points soon. Woohoo, she is hooked.
The closer we get to our trip this year, she is getting more and more excited. She is already packed and it is still 12 days out. More to come on my cleaning-beauty bride
The youngest of our part of the clan is DD8. She is definitely a daddys girl! She was born about 22 months POST vasectomy. After a quick trip back to the doctors office, I found out that, in fact, I was not shooting blanks.
The entire time DW was pregnant we referred to the baby as the miracle baby. This was early summer 1999 so I kept telling DW she was going to have the miracle baby as the "millennium baby". Well
.our miracle babe was born on Christmas day. 
I took that as a sign that we were meant to have this blessing. She, too, went to Disney for the first time last year. I think I had more fun with her and her mom than they had themselves. 
Here is a pic of DD8 shortly after we arrived at, then, MGM.

one in this part of the team, another good reason for him to be our bodyguard. Although, he does like to play in the mudd 
on the weekends. Big-Guy lived in central FL for a while. I dont know how long, I just know that he used to live not too far from the world. Needless to say, he has been to WDW several times. Different this time, is this is his first time as a married man and with his son. We are going to PPP on the 2nd night of our stay and I dont know if I can get him to put on a pirate costume or not (I did say he is the CCC). My DD8 has requested that I don a costume for the evening 
(no pix allowed) since she is going to be in her Princess costume. 
This maybe another time when a bodyguard might come in handy. Really, Big-Guy is a cool guy and his DW did gud landing him, she would say that he didnt do too bad either!
She really loves her lil man
! We made her suffer last year by asking her to pet sit for our 4-legged family member that we could not take with us to WDW. 
It may have been torture on her knowing where we were. Now we are in need of another sitter. Stacgirl has volunteered her mom, isnt that sweet of her. This too will be her first time as a married woman.
She has been before but I am not sure how many times or when it was. Stacgirl will more than likely be our spokesperson on this vacation, if we need one. She is really a sweetheart with a heart bigger than herself. Big-Guy and Stacgirl did gud!
He is 6 (I think) and goes to school with my daddys girl and has never been to the Happy Place. Daddys girl cant wait to show him around Disney, since she is such a veteran. 
I have never seen lil man slow down except in church for a while. When he gets going he is like the Tasmanian devil with a big smile on his face. Not that he is a mess maker, just fast, all out and loveable. You can see his personality just by looking at him. 
They were wise enough to spend their honeymoon/disneymoon at WDW last Jan. They too, are young at heart and are not in a hurry to grow up. This has become a requirement for our mission. 
She is kinda quiet (at least around me) and is the smallest of the big people, so I think I will call her Lil-Bit for now (until she catches me and forces me to change her name).
He was a pretty smart groom to take is new bride to WDW on a honeymoon. He is stacgirls brother and is just about as goofy for Disney as she is (and I guess the rest of us too). He and Lil-Bit just bought a new house, 2 weeks before we leave. Are they nuts??? 
They do not have any children together, yet, which is the reason I think they hitched a ride with the rest of us (to use the kids as a cover-up).
I think this may be their last trip before they DO have small ones of their own. They are a very good lookin couple that I always see with smiles. Almost too happy. 
and maybe an LSU football game. We have had one Disney meeting already and are working on another one before our departure to make sure that we dont forget anything. Yeah, like that is going to happen with this crew.
We leave early (around 1:30am) and stop around Pensacola for breakfast, about 4 hours into our trip. That puts us in the world around 1:00pm. Just in time for check in.
We do know that we want to go in Jan because of the crowds. We thought about going the 12th 19th but after a little research, I learn that is the same weekend of the marathon. Cant do that, dont want the crowds. Ok, lets try the next week. More research
.MLK holiday weekend. Nope, still big crowds. Maybe we should re-think this timing thing???? 
except she is cute 
It is my intent to show plenty of pix and even try a LIVE report from the epicenter(spelling?). 
Hopefully tommorrow.
