2 Big kids takin on the Wonder and the World Updated 04/15/2008 Sea day take one

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Hi, my name is Kimmy, and this is my first TR. I returned, a week ago from one of the BEST trips to Disney World ever!
A couple of warnings before I begin.....
1. I'm a REALLY bad speller
2. This TR only has 2 BIG kids in it (no actual little kids)
3. If you don't like fat chicks, please don't read
4. I'm serious about the last warning
5. Have fun

Now on with the show.... A little background again my name is Kimmy I'm 29 and 11 months old, I have been to Disney World over 25-ish times. I'm traveling with my "Disney buddy" Melissa AKA Missa she is 24 and has been to Disney about 15-ish times. Melissa and I became friends through our love for Disney. We met about 5-6 years ago, through our old jobs. We made our first trip to the world together in Feb of 2002 and since then have made over 10 trips together.
Here is us on Missa's 21st Birthday a few years ago at the LTT
I am in the middle minus the DA hat which means Missa is the one wearing the DA hat.

I love Meeko! In fact I love him so much I adopted a kitty from the pound and named him Meeko which leads me into who I left behind while touring the World.
Meeko aka koko........................Aurora aka rory...................and the twins Simba and Koda aka yak and yeti

Before you call me a "crazy cat lady" know that 2 are mine (Meeko and Simba) and 2 are Missa's (Aurora and Koda). Oh ya in case I had not mentioned it we are roommates so there is four cats under one roof (no, our house does not smell, we are very clean cat people).
It's kinda traumatic for me to have to leave my kitty babies so I made sure that I had my niece, Britney all lined up to "hang" with them while I was gone. Too bad Britney blew me off a week before we were leaving (Christmas is not looking good for her this year) thank goodness Missa and I have super parents and they split shifts coming over and tending to my babies. My first hurdle in a trip that had very few hurdles at all.

The reason for this trip (as if I need a reason ) is to celebrate my 30th birthday. I know you are thinking it was a little early since I have stated that I am 29 and 11 months old, but my "real" birthday is NYE. What that means is the cost of being at Disney World on my actual birthday would be 2094439402 more then going at the begining of the month and celebrating my "Birthday month". Missa and I actually did sit down and figure it out, see I had been to the world on my "actual" birthday before and it was AWESOME, but I would have only been able to go for 3 days with no cruise. Instead for still less, I went to the world for 5 days and on a 4 day cruise. Makes so much more cents (yes, I intentionally spelled that wrong).

Now that you know a little about me, Missa and our furry family I will leave you with the prospect of another chapter that involves me actually getting to the place this TR is focusing on, THE WORLD!

I should be back tonight with more. Thanks for stopping by.

EXCUSE ME!!!! I do believe there were some kids on part of your trip! Missa took enough pics of Hunter to merit an installment! Ok, back to your report!

Look at Kimmy, caving into the peer pressure!

Peer Pressure def got to me! You are right, I can devote an entire installment to the fun we had hangin out with Hunter. I really think he made Missa's trip. We had a great time.

BTW, I just reread your first installment and didn't mean to copy your exact phrase "On with the show" Sorry

 

[winkers]

Hi Lynn. Sorry you had to come back. It's such a bummer isn't it? We got almost a foot here on Sunday I was trying to imagine I was back at Disney to help me through it, unfortunately I looked outside and the snow was still there.
Thanks for saying hello.

 

[DL55]

[Sleeping*Beauty]

Can't wait to here about your trip. Especially the cruise!!

 

[missamouse]

Nice job Kimmy!!! I am so proud you started a TR without me! And I would have to agree with Poohtiggy!!!! Hunter definitely deserves and entire installment on this thread! Even though i was on this trip with you i can't wait to read more!

 

[KimmyDisneyNerd]

Hi I will def talk about the cruise.

Can't wait to here about your trip. Especially the cruise!!

I will be getting to the cruise soon...

Always a smart butt! I hope you don't care I called you a fat chick

 

[mrsksomeday]

I'm here, I'm here!! I was one of the one's begging you to do a TR, I have to hear about it so I know what I am in for. Great first installment!!

I loved the cat pictures, you are not a crazy cat lady, it is good they have each other and it has to be so much fun to have them. We can only have one pet in our apartment , if we didn't have that stupid rule Ace would have a kitty cat buddy.

Happy Birthday Early!!!

Thank you so much for starting your TR!!

Hi Tracy!! I'm so glad you convinced me to write (along with a few others) You are so sweet. Thank you for the birthday wishes and the kitty comments. I hope you will be writing an installment soon, I'm antsy.

 

[mrsksomeday]

You don't have to be antsy, you are just typing to friends . I have a question, where did you and Missa get your cruise pictures in your siggys? I just realized I can put a pictures AND a ticker up .

The pic in my siggy is my own from the cruise, and the one Missa has, I actually made for our group that was on the boards together counting down to our cruise.

He'll feel so honored! Your readers are probably wondering who the heck Hunter is! He's a crazy little boy who attached himself to Kimmy and Melissa!

Tracy! I was reading this and thought you were going to say "If we didn't have that stupid Ace!" I was gonna have to yell at you! I should have known you wouldn't say that! Sweet little Ace! What's he getting for Christmas? (Sorry for the off topic Kimmy)

Look at you with all of your readers! And techniquely you haven't even written anything about your trip!

 

[OhioTony]

Hi Kimmy!

Just back myself and trying to catch up on all my and my or I would have been here !

I love cats too! I have a dog and a cat right now but if Tony hadn't brought home the dog I would only have cats! I love my dog but I am a cat person through and through!

I am so jealous that you got to meet Monica and her family and I didn't! Our timing was just off but for a good reason on my part which I will get to in my trip report once I write it.

Oh and Happy early Birthday! I too am 29 yrs and 11 months but for a much longer time than you!!!

I already told Michelle, but I won't tell anyone else! Lynn's being nice. It was my fault because I couldn't haul my family out the door in time!

LOL! Yeah, me too! I'm 29 and 11 months too!
