Ashley this sounds like its going to be a veryyyyy entertaining trip for us readers! So many people!!!

So yeah...about those questions, where the heck are you staying?!??!?! Lol
And I couldn't agree more, there is absolutely no better way to get to Disney World other than by car trip. I used to go by car every year...until I think 2 years ago becuase the long drive (24 hours for me ) is too much for my aunt and uncle. So now we just fly. Although, I hated the car trips when it was time to come home...24 hours to sulk and cry....

But, with a car-full of people, you should be fine!
And congrats to your brother on his engagement. And congrats to you for 4 years! Especially for years with someone who has the nerve to say Universal is better!!! But, you'll win him over, I think Disney has that effect on everyone.

Soooo...I'm ready for the next update! Lets go!

EDIT::: WOAH!!! I just noticed that you're from New Jersey too!! Where abouts? I want to know how long your drive is! And thats ironic, when we used to drive to DW, we always stopped at South Carolina (Surfside, Myrtle Beach to be exact) and Savannah as well!

My first reader!!! lol thank for commenting so fast! Yea i agree about the drive home...it's definitely not as fun driving away from Disney lol. And yea, almost 4 years with someone who talks such blasphemy lol, i must reeeallly like him now that i come to think about it. I'm from central jersey aaaand i will be posting pics from the wedding and stuff except their will be no pics of the groom cuz he doesn't want his pic online!!!! You'll find out where i'm staying soon...i have to keep you coming back for more lol

 

[PrincessEeyore]

I'll keep coming back, don't worry!
TRs are just more fun for me to read when they are from teenagers, like myslef, because the give a different perspective on the magic of Disney World that an adult isn't always capable of. Besides, you wrote in purple , and thats my favorite color!!! !!!

I'm from the Passaic Area, so really, we're not even that far from each other! Who knows, maybe I'll just wait along the highway (I assume you travel down 95 for most of the way?) and look for a car with a hugeeee amount of people in it. Then I'll just come along for the trip! Lol

Grrr....I really want to know where you're staying! Lets go, time to update =) Please? Lol, I'm very demanding when it comes to TRs, but I honestly don't expect two updates in one day so I'll wait...patiently...pshhhh (yeah right)

Hellooo to my one reader!!!

First i would like to start off by explaining the title of my trip report. A year of change...my brother moved out, he's getting married, my sisters is moving out and her boyfriend has a little daughter running around which is weird because i've always been the youngest. I have to admit, it's not so bad being an only child lol. Anyway, after these pretty big changes, we're all still going to Disney World together. You know something that great can't change! My brother is going to Hawaii for 2 weeks for his honeymoon then 2 weeks later he's going to Disney for 3 weeks!!! That's the life! Before i answer the questions i left you with at the end of my last report, i want to show you some pictures of who's coming. Not my dad or brother though because they don't want to be on here and i don't have any pictures of ryan or Ginny yet.

I know i'm a little lacking on pictures but I have to find all the others because there is definitely going to be more!!!

Now about my questions...We are leaving home on August 9 too arrive in Disney on August 11. We're leaving Disney on August 28 and arriving home on the 30. As for where we are staying..........................................

OLD KEY WEST!!! WOOO!!! Our home since 95. I love this place

I think that's all i'll leave you with for now but as i go there is still one more quesion left unanswered...where are we stuffing our faces?!?!?!? You'll have to wait to find out.


Edit: How do i change the title of the thread to let people know that i made updates??? Thank yooou!!!

Hi Ashley!!!

So, your family is adorable! Your mom looks like soooo much fun! Lol. And your prom dress was gorgeous! You look really pretty in baby blue. But its always a sad day when the EMH bracelets have to come off!

So...as your one reader I must say...THAT I NEED ANOTHER UPDATE!!! Lol.
But PTRs are kinda hard to update so, I'll be fine with something, anything. So, I'll talk to you soon!

 

[O_Jr71]

i should have an update today or tomorrow morning the latest!!!!
just a quick update....when my dad booked the van he accidently booked it for pick up on the 11 of August!!! We are supposed to be leaving the 9! He called to have it changed but it will cost $2,000 more to get it 2 days earlier...that seems a little rediculous to me. We're looking for a solution as i type

 

[O_Jr71]

It's only been about 2 and a half hours and a solution has been found. My brother was able to get us a van through work for only $400 more than the original van but it's leaving 2 days earlier!!! WOOO...we're back to driving and i'm even more excited now than i was before.

 

[PrincessEeyore]

$2,000 that is wayyy rediculous. but good thing the soulution was found! or else, there would be quite a problem!

Sorry for the long absence! I was in Lake George from the 4-8 and everyday when i came home we had to do wedding stuff. The rehearsal dinner was the 9 (so much fun) the 10 i had a wake to go to and the 11 was the wedding!!! It was so much fun and i was upset when it had to end. The 12 we had a bbq at my house for our out of town wedding guests and the 13 was my cousins graduations party. Whew! Now that all of that is over i'm finally going to post those adrs!!!

We will be on vacation from August 9-August 30. The 9 and 10 we will be eating on the drive down. We have no reservations but i do know that we will be eating at this place called Clarks in SC Our traditional drive down dinner!!! We also have no resevations for the 29 and 30 cuz we will be drivin home

August 11-Boma (first time)
August 12-Tony's Town Square (first time)

So in three weeks we'll be loading up the van and heading home! Home to OKW that is...i'd much rather live there. We decided to get 10 day water park fun and more park hoppers and we will be going to Universal one day. (I haven't decided if im going or not) Anyway...i just had to say it...my brother went to vegas in June for his bachelor party and he is currently in Hawaii for 2 weeks on his honeymoon To top it off...just 10 days after he comes home........he's headed to Disney for 3 weeks!!! That is the life! lol well i just wanted to throw some of that out there...it is tougher than i thought getting readers around here!!! I'm going to post some pics from lake george and the wedding on my next post. See ya later!

 

[O_Jr71]

Hello!!! I thought i would come on and explain a few things. My parents, brother, sister, sister-in-law, my sister's boyfriend and his daughter are all driving down and leaving on the 9. We're taking 2 seperate cars though because stephanie (ds) and ryan (her bf) and his daughter won't fit!! lol so we'll be a little seperated. We are stopping over in sc and savannah before we head into Disney on the 11!!! Wooooooo On the 20 Danny(dbf) is flying down I'm soooo excited to take him to Disney World We are all leaving on 28 (danny is also driving home with us ) I'll definitely have pictures from the wedding on my next post, i have to download them. Until next time!!!!
