My Granny screaming at my brother to catch my pawpaw as he rolls past me in a wheelchair is probably the highlight of my last trip to Disney! Just imagine walking along, going down a mild slope in MGM (now known as Hollywood Studios), and hearing your grandma scream that as you see your grandpa zip past... Priceless!
I guess it would help you all to know that my pawpaw was fine! It'd probably also help to know that my granny is known for doing "silly" things like that, but she never means to!
My brother did a little jog and caught him before he crashed into anyone. Our last trip took place in May of 2006!!! 
Now 3 whole years later, we are ready to try another family trip to Disney! We will be leaving in less than two weeks, so I figured I'd start the trip report now and continue it on once we get back!
Now to introduce you to this year's cast!
My grandparents, aka Granny and Pawpaw- After our last trip to Disney, my parents, siblings, and I found out that our vacations were about 10 times more fun/entertaining when my grandparents came along! So for the past 3 years, we have been vacationing with them! There is never a dull moment with these two! My granny is the most kind-hearted, Christian woman ever! She just happens to be a germaphobe (in Disney, no less!). She is newly retired and looking to have her first "retired" vacation! My pawpaw is the life of the party! He is always joking around and making a scene! My mom has disowned him a few times when he's started dancing in public! I know I mentioned he was in a wheelchair on our last trip, but he was just having pain that made it hard for him to walk for long periods of time. This year we were hoping to not have to relive his wheelchair experience, but he now has a pinched nerve in his leg/back.
Hopefully, he will be feeling better before we go!
Okay, more about the greatest grandparents ever later!
Next we have my mom and dad. These two are a trip! They love going to Disney just about as much as me! When I found out about the 4/3 deal and told my dad, we were booked the next day! This July my parents will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary! 
Yeay!!
My brother (Jonathan) is 22. He just graduated from college last December! Jonathan provides the sarcastic comments and usually says what everyone else is thinking. He is your typical "TV" brother when it comes to being overprotective. I love getting calls when I'm out on a date asking where I am, who I'm with, and what I'm doing. He's also good for intimidating any new men in my life. My brother isn't exactly a short guy.
My younger sister, Courtney, is 12. She is a trip! She has always tried to be older than she is. She's 12 going on 18! She comes equipped with a little bit of attitude. My parents say she's learned from the best, but I have no idea what they are talking about!
She's a mess now... but I love her to death!
Finally, there's me! I'm 19, soon to be 20 years old. I'm in college right now and will finish up finals a day before we leave for Disney!
When we come back from our trip, I will be going to work at children's Christian camp for the summer! I'm sooo excited! 
So the 7 of us will be flying into Orlando on May 16! We will be there for 7 days! While at Disney, we will be staying at the Coronado Springs Resort. We stayed here back in 2005, and I'm super excited to go back here! I'm hoping we get a newly refurbished room!
I'll be back with plenty more stories of our last trip (such as my granny getting closed in automatic closing doors) until I have new ones from our upcoming excursion! If anyone can tell me how to post pictures here, I'd be more than happy to include them! I already have a photobucket account. Til next time!!

lmao: extended family do make things funnier. Can't wait to hear
Before I get to today's story, I thought I'd give everyone a run down on what I'm looking forward to the most... EATING! Hey, I'm from the the south. I get it honest.
