[winkers]

I am here!!! So happy for a Winkers TR! Wow the kids were so little back then, they look so grown up now. I can't wait to read about your adventure.

I shed a few tears looking back at those sweet little faces....what happened?

Subscribing! I have followed along with your past trip reports and am coming out of lurkdom to say hello!

So glad you're starting a new thread for us to have fun on!!

Hi! I love it when lurkers come out and say hi!

WINKERS! WINKERS! WINKERS! So glad that you are back. I have missed you. Wow, the kids look like such babies. How is everybody doing?

I've missed being on the dis too! the kids are all doing great, keeping me busy and on my toes!

I'm here!!!! I'm so glad you are doing this. I have been in a depression lately since we canceled our cruise! We are going to WDW this year but not until July. Can't wait to read up on your TR!!

It's so sad you had to cancel! But at least you'll get a dose of disney still...but in July??? all I can say is sticky and hot!

Patience is needed on Winkers reports and lots of

I have no idea what you're talking about!

 

[winkers]

Today I'm trying some thing new....water aerobics! What does that have to do with a disney trip you ask? Well, nothing really....I'm just tring to keep myself busy and not thinking about my pasty white behind in a swiming suit at the high school pool, where the high school swim team will be practicing siimultaneously with my bouncing around in the water like a giant pooh covered swim suit...the pooh because it has pooh on it...winnie the pooh!

So, in my effort to forget about the humiliation that will take place at the pool in 3.5 hours, I thought I'd give you a little refresher of the previous winkers trips.

2005....the year if all began. We loaded up our kids and mil and headed for disneyland in the mini van...that's about 20 hours of family togetherness!

2006....we loved Disneyland so much we decided to check out DisneyWorld. But with my thinking, it didnt' make sense to spend all the money to fly the whole family across the country since we had just taken them to disney land...I mean how different could the 2 really be? So D.Jay and I went, with out our kids and fell in love!

2007..On our previous trip we knew we HAD to take our kids to WDW. So, we surprised the kids with the trip...which was awesome except for the little part of me having a dental emergency, pain killers, wheel chairs and a taxi ride from hell...

2008...D.Jay and I were supposed to go to England that year, but I knew we HAD to have a do over for the last trip...so, off we went with the kids, again. They only found out about a week before the trip!

2009....I, having a lapse in judgment, decided we should invite the mother in law or MIL, to go.....well, it would have been helpful if I had a tranquilizer gun along....some how we survived and all returned home. Yes, we ALL returned home....MIL lives with us!

2010...After vowing that NEVER again would MIL be taken on a vacation again, we ditched her and the kids and D.Jay and I returned where we met up with Jordan (jordanyosh) Rosie (englishrose47} Derek & Wendy (wendyo) and Cherie (blueyedgirl)! It was an epic dis meet full of laughter and fun.....depends would have been wise because we all nearly peed our selves on a daily basis.

2011....Our budget for vacations was cut by about half....I tried really really hard to accept no disney this year, but that didn't happen. So, we headed back to the scene of the crime......and MIL was invited.

Since this trip, Derek has also voluntarily joined the madness so you have to add DisneyDerek to your peep list

And we were glad you came back to "where it all happened" since we aren't seeing the World for a couple more years... and what? I didn't know MIL was invited? or is there more to the story... I'll wait patiently... well, not so patiently.

 

[All7OfUs]

You invited the MIL?? Did you also invite her MBoC??

 

[nebo]

I don't see how that sweet little old lady, (mil), can be so maligned. All she wants is to be free from pain and out of the cold, that YOU subjected her to that last Feb. trip.
And this is the thanks she gets, for giving birth to your husband, DJ, who,,,um,,,,, hmmm,,,,,,,maybe your right!

I'm gonna keep babbling away until you get on with your story,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[englishrose47]

I think it is a wise decision to take MIL with you
1. No fear of a remodeled bathroom while you are gone .
2.It will undoubtedly make for some funny updates !!
3.If you had a station wagon she could be tied to the top as in "VACATION"!!!

 

[daisy_77]

All this talk of MIL and her MBOC made me curious so after reading her last TR I had to go to the family TR and oh my was it worth it..

She'd be a great comic strip The Adventures of MIL and her MCOC...the tupperwear addition. Think of the delights she can bring home after a disney buffet.

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Hey Cherie!

Good to see you again. Looking forward to more MIL mayhem.

 

[englishrose47]

Bumping this up !!!

I did forget about Derek being a disser now~ I guess he realized we aren't all strange.

You invited the MIL?? Did you also invite her MBoC??

There's no need to invite the MBOC...it goes where ever she goes.

Nebs, Nebster, Nebo!
I'll send mill to visit you....you might change your mind.

Rosie, the thought of her riding on top of the station wagon brings a little tear to my eye...tear of joy.

I'm glad you enjoyed it....it wasn't funny at the time but I've realized that time plus MIl equals laughter.

Hey Cherie!
Good to see you again. Looking forward to more MIL mayhem.

Hey!

Bumping this up !!!

 

[vamassey1]

I'm so glad you're doing this!

I love your reports and I've never been to Disneyland. I can't wait to see it through the Winker Family Eyes.

 

[englishrose47]

I did

I thought it might !!!!
