INTRODUCTION
Last year at this time, if you had asked me about returning to WDW for a second year in a row, Id have laughed in your face. I would never have imagined that Id be able to convince DH to agree on returning to Walt Disney World so soon. Yet somehow, I find myself trying to talk him into taking us next year as well. That part remains to be seen.
The important thing is, he did consent and well be on our way in just a few short days!!!! The big difference being, were not flying this year. DH never complained about our flight last summer but Im guessing it obviously wasnt an experience hed like to relive which is why were driving. Yes driving. From Ontario, Canada. Twenty-four hours in the car people.
At first I thought it was the cost of the flight for the four of us that bothered him but after checking into it and learning that we could fly from Rochester, NY for almost the same cost as driving, I was still unable to convince him.
I didnt press the issue because frankly, I was so excited he accepted my idea of returning this summer!!!!
How do you entertain two teen daughters for 24 hours in a car and prevent them from fighting?
If you have the answer to that, please share the knowledge.We will be leaving on August 22, after DH makes a quick appearance at work (enough time to pick up his pay check in other words). Ive made no advance reservations for hotels on the way down (or back). Who knows where well end up? Probably some truckers stop full of lot lizards.
We hope to arrive in Cocoa Beach on the evening of the 23rd and stay for one night. Then on the 24th we are going to spend the day at the beach before heading to our resort at WDW where well be staying for nine glorious nights!
Im now going to give you a quick, shortened version of the cast (if you prefer the longer version, please refer to my PTR):
Blue: Thats me! The DIS-addicted writer of this trip report.
Grumpy: My DH. Smart, sexy, charming, brilliant, special, loving, perfect, sweet, wonderful, darling man (As you can see, Im laying it on thick here. Thats part of my plan to butter him up for next years trip)
JoJo: DD16 The chatterbox who you cant help but love.
Goofy: DD13 My hot-tempered redhead with a heart of gold.
I see no point in telling you all the wonderful details about the cast because really its not as if Im going to write anything nasty or something and I dont want to repeat too much of what has already been written previously.
Like I said, were leaving next week and I hope to post a few live installments during our trip this time around.
Stay tuned for the next installment where I will mention some of the special plans I have made for our trip. *cough* Lisa *cough*
