Welcome to our adventure! My family will be flying from Oregon on August 7th. We are planning on staying 11 nights at Pop Century, going to the parks 8 days and taking a couple days for checking out Downtown Disney (or is it now called Disney Springs) and swimming.
Let's meet the family:
I'm Laurie, the uber-planner, wife for almost 31 years, mom to 7 kids (and hoping to add our 8th before this trip). Now before you pass out from that many kids.......I gave birth to 3 of them and adopted the other 4 and hopefully 5th soon! I'm a die-hard Disney person. I grew up with Disneyland and have been there 15 times (16th coming up Feb 25-March 1) and WDW once. We have Disney stuff all over our house & my bedroom is covered in Mickey, Cinderella & Tinkerbell.
My husband Mike also loves Disney and lets me go on a number of my Disneyland trips without him. I'm lucky!! Mike is a meat manager for Safeway.
The kids that will be going on their FIRST trip to WDW is:
Anthony age 13, Addy age 9, Shyann age 7 & Michayla age 7. We are in the process of an adoption home study to get the twins biological sister who is also 9.
Since we are past the 180 day mark, I've already set our dining reservations. We got our rooms booked today by one of my grown sons that will be joining us. Derek, is currently on the Disney College Program and was able to book at a CM discount. His last day of the program will be the day we arrive!! If you happen to be going to the parks, Derek will be lifeguarding at Typhoon Lagoon!
I will post the Dining plans in the next post!
