Welcome!! This TR is way overdue as our trip took place Nov. 26 - Dec. 4, 2011 - we had so much fun that I still want to share it, even though it took place 4 months ago!
This is one of my favourit pics of us all, and gives insight to the title of this report:
We are, from front to back:
Jean (DD7, was 6 at the time of the trip) - loves thrill rides (TOT is her favourite) and is a very practical girl
Ella (DD10) - she is the one that likes to live in a fantasy world and still loves her princesses even though her room no longer has princess decorations
Grammy (my MIL) - retired school principal, she loves to spoil her granddaughters (my two are her only grandkids) and was ready to have some fun on this trip
E (DH) - IT software guy and more of a hockey fan than a Disney fan, but he enjoys himself when we are at WDW
me (Lara) - accountant by day, I am the planner in the family, especially when it comes to Disney vacations
Nana (my mom) - retired teacher, she is a kid at heart and loves to play with her grandkids
Gramps (my dad) - retired marketing guy, he enjoys thrill rides (although not the simulator type) and is up for anything that includes his grandkids (as long as it doesn't cost too much!)
We spent 5 nights at Coronado Springs, with 4 days in the parks, then split off into groups...
-E and I spent a day a Kennedy Space Centre then came back to the Swan and Epcot
-Grammy and the girls went on a 3-night cruise on the Disney Dream
-Nana and Gramps spent 3 nights in a condo near Port Canaveral and explored that area
I hope you join along as I relive our fun-filled trip!
Up next, departure day...
