We're less than a year out now, so I thought i'd start a PTR for my extended family's bi-annual WDW trip!
It's still pretty far away, but I'm starting the real planning now, and I need a place to organize all my thoughts!
SO, let's get started with the basics:
DATES:
2/16/2012--2/25/2012
BASIC TRIP SUMMARY:
This February my family will be continuing our decade-long tradition of a bi-annual trip to Walt Disney World, and I could NOT be happier.
Let me start this off by saying that I'm in now way the head of a household--in fact I'm actually the older of 2 teenage daughters in my family of four. Im am, however, the biggest DIS freak and planner! I plan the trips, my parents make them a reality, and for that I am definitely grateful.
We started taking trips to WDW in February 2000, and have been returning then every even year ever since.
In 2004 we were lucky enough to be able to purchase a time share at Orange Lake Resort in Kissimee. We love our little condo there!
Then in 2005 my mother's brother and his family also purchased a time share there for the same week! My uncle, aunt, and 3 younger cousins have been joining us in the world since 2006, in addition to my aunt's mother who joined us last year in 2010, and they will meet us there once again this coming February!
CAST OF CHARACTERS:
Me (17):
I've had the WDW countdown going since the 600's, and I've got hours of in-park music loops in my iTunes library. In other words, a DISfreak starting at a young age. God only knows what I'll be like once I start a family of my own.
Sister (14):
A little more than 2 1/2 years my junior, my little sister was a ride daredevil even before I was. She LOVES disney, though she is nowhere near as obsessed as yours truly.
Mom & Dad:
love disney, but sometimes get a bit overwhelmed by it all. Therefore, let me do all the planning. Dad loves rides, Mom prefers fantasyland and shows. All and all they enjoy WDW, and keep us coming back!
Aunt & Uncle:
love having the family together in WDW. Uncle is a thrill seeker, and Aunt looks after the younger ones, but they're not so young anymore...
"Grandma":
My aunt's mom, and my cousin's grandma. Loved joining in the family craziness last year! She may be older, but she's still up for some Space Mountain!
Cousin 1 (14):
The eldest kid of his family and 2 months younger than my sister, he's a self-proclaimed coaster buff who loves disney atmosphere, but universal rides. Loves being able to ride everything!
Cousin 2 (11):
The middle child. FINALLY can go on every ride! Small for her age, but fiery!
Cousin 3 (9):
The youngest of our WDW crew. A disney princess in her own right. Loves characters, the teacups and Dumbo. Definitely a DISlover in training.
Well, that's it for now! I hope I can keep this up until the end!
Coming soon: food, flights, fun, and other Disney magic!
