Well what a great start to the day to find a Stringer pre-trippie to read And the quality as always is superb. Will be eagerly waiting for more.

Hi Kevin, you and your family don't know me, but I am Susan's niece (also a Disney fanatic!), Sheri. I live in Dallas, Texas and for a few years now, Susan has been filling me in on all the wonderful things you all do together on your Disney trips. She has forwarded me your links before and after talking to her and reading your latest pre-trip report, I decided I was actually going to register on the boards and tell you how much I enjoy hearing about your family's experiences. I hope you all have a ton of fun and can't wait to read your report, as well as pump Susan for all the details! My son is off to college in the fall so we don't have a WDW trip planned right now, but hopefully, in the not too distant future, I will have something to report, too!

Hi Sheri

Welcome to the DIS Boards. Thanks for the good wishes, I'm sure we'll have a great time, as long as we can keep Susan on the straight and narrow.

I hope you've invested in a pair of stabilisers for her. You know what she's like.

Thank you for the warm welcome! I feel like I already know all of you because of Susan's wonderful stories (don't worry, she left out the embasrrassing details - well, not all of them...!) And as you and Kevin have commented on Susan's "wild ways", I am certain all the stories are true!

Sounds like a great trip and an even better cast!

With such a star studded cast if this trip was a film it would be a shoe in for an Oscar!

Can't wait to hear all about it

Hi Kev

Nice to see another Stringer report on the go

We are out there in a few weeks, might bump into you. I know you will not have changed a bit since the last time we seen you

Now that I think about it, our "cast" reminds me of a movie, too, but not sure it was an award winner. Did National Lampoon Vacation win any Oscars?!!

OK, this seems to be the story so far:

Kev; China; Eldred, the King of the Pixies; Ginger Margarita (she sounds fun!); a hamster and 5 pints of raspberry jelly; Tam; India; Georgia; Tasar; Dorothy; Toto (aka attack dog); SusanfromTulsa; Sharon; Evan; Rob; Rob's wife; Rob's daughter; Mandy; Martin; David Hasselhoff and his dolphin are going to be riding around on a giant swan tasting alcohol whilst kicking back and overseeing the next big action-packed pixie construction project in WDW...

Now that's what I call a TRIP, dudes!!!

Have a wonderful time, Stringers and all the Stringerfellows...

Must start looking for my gown (to wear on the red carpet).

See you soon, Susan.

Just an everyday story of everyday folk really. I wouldn't be surprised to see this storyline picked up by Coronation Street.

PS (Susan here) I will be staying the first three nights at the Yacht Club. My Annual Pass doesn't entitle me to a discount at the non-Disney Swan, but it does at YC. As I think it's likely that I'll always book my old favorite Wilderness Lodge on any trip I'm planning, this seemed like the perfect chance with a good reason to try a place I've never stayed before and be close to the rest of the group--just a Friendship boat ride away.

PPS I appreciate your sensitivity in not mentioning my age, Kevin, but I really don't mind that people know I'm 37.

We booked a last minute quickie using our Virgin Miles (about time) for early July so we will miss you by a week or so. Would have loved to have bought you a drink just to say thank you for your kind words about our trip report to California last summer. Although we are staying in Orlando we don't plan to do anything Disney except for maybe a day at Typhoon Lagoon. All of the kids are coming with us this time so there should be a lot of tension... I mean FUN. Only 34 days to go, can't wait...
