So, ohmigosh, I don't even know how to start this PTR because I can't even believe its actually happening! Ever since our last trip in 2012 we have been dreaming of going back but just couldn't swing it. However, 2016 is the year DH has been planning on taking his HS Band back to Disney so it looked like we were going to tag along! He and I had a lot of discussions about the pros and cons. He wasn't too excited about it because he doesn't get to spend that much time with us when he's with the band. Its a lot of work, a lot of early mornings and late, late nights. But he knew we wouldn't just let him take off to Disney without us either! So we crunched some numbers and decided to do our OWN trip this winter!!
We knew we would want to spend a few days with DH's sister and her family in southern FL so after looking at the calendar we decided that leaving the day after Christmas (my birthday!) would work best. Of course as soon as we decided that, we said "OMG, we have to surprise the kids on Christmas morning!!" Wouldn't that just be the best? "Hey kids, we're going to see your cousins in Florida.... AND go to Disney World.... AND we're leaving TOMORROW!!!" Whaaaaatt??! Best. Christmas. EVER!
Aaaakkk... so many months of keeping this secret in! See why I have to do a PTR?? I need people to share this secret with me and help me plan and keep me (mildly) sane!
I will probably also throw in a few tidbits about the Band's 2016 trip since I am helping to plan, just in case anyone is curious about planning a trip for a humongous group of HS students!
