The Prelude...
A Special Shout Out to MissCammie.
The Unlikely Trio, Donald, Eeyore, & Simba, plus "The Fantastic 4" take on Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Pary, arriving September 19th for a 10 day adventure for the group at the BeachClub Resort.
A little back ground information about our previous trips, before we learn about "The Unlikely Trio" and our plans to share the
with them.
The first Experience of the Disney Magic was "The Surprise Trip", July 30, 2006, a 7 day, 6 night "Once in a Life Time" trip, staying at the BeachClub Resort. Since we were Disney virgins we had no clue as to what to expect, so when the kids were away we did a little research but definitely not enough. The trip was booked and finally the day had arrived for a great Schlitterbahn Water Park in New Braunfels and South Padre Island beach vacation.
Little did they know....
Leaving town at 5:30 in the morning was a little more than the kids could handle and sticking 3 siblings/teenagers in the middle seats would make for a very interesting car ride.
Upon arriving at the airport with both sets of Grandparents and an uncle with video camera in hand they started chanting "Your going to DisneyWorld" 
over and over. The kids were excited but mostly still asleep and secretly releved that they weren't crammed in the middle seat of the Tahoe for 6 hours.
We had tons of fun on "The Surprises Trip" even with an occasional melt down; yes it does happen with adult and teenagers too.
We barely scratched the surface of Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot. On our first day at Disney MGM, as we watched the parade and I looked over at my Big Ole Sappy DH's teary eyes 
and I knew then that we were destined to return to the again.
After our return to normal life
My DH's obsession blossomed. He began searching the web and found Disboards. Wow is this the best place for expert knowledge on DisneyWorld or What? 
DH's desire to return to DisneyWorld continued (and mine also,
). So on our 2nd anniversary in April we decided that we needed our own "Kids Free Trip" to DisneyWorld. The Anniversary Trip was booked; BoardWalk Resort, Sept. 12th - 18th, 2007 and with the added bonus of "Free Dinning", Wow we had no idea that Disney offered such a great deals. "The Anniversary Trip" was wonderful without any melt downs, picky eaters, or "I want to do this, no I want to do that", just good ole fun and relaxation.
Next Chapter;
Here comes Donald, Eeyore & Simba at the BeachClub with Pumpkins in Tow...

- His 3rd trip to DisneyWorld... He became a Disney fanatic in 2006 on the first moment of the first trip. He lives and breath’s Disney, and almost every day he shares something very fascinating to him about Disney but trivial to me. 
- Junior in High School - 2nd trip to DisneyWorld. Brady is so excited to return to the most magical place in the world. Although, he secretly loves Disney, but you would never catch him admitting that to his buddies. He’s a little crazy and can go from 17 to 3 in 2.4 seconds when he see’s Chip & Dale. 
- Freshman in High School - 2nd trip to DisneyWorld. She is so ecstatic; she loves everything about Disney, especially High School Musical (I haven't told her that the High School Musical Pep Rally will be closed for refurbishment when we are there). She loves The Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron and Miley Cyrus, and she also wants to be Tinker Bell is “Wishes” She is so boy crazy, it just drives us crazy. Rae is a state gymnastic champion on balance beam and will soon compete for her High School Varsity team. Rae is an avid reader and a daredevil, she talks all the time, but she’s stubborn, bossy, demanding, and she is working on all these qualities. 
- 1st Trip to DisneyWorld, although he attended DisneyWorld in 1973, but that doesn’t count. Dave is a big burly Texas boy that wears his big ole heart on his sleeve. He is adventuresome (look for him to participate in the Indiana Jones Stunt Show), and a Star War’s fanatic, (what is the age limit for The DHS Jedi Experience) and an avid golfer. He’s looking forward to see DisneyWorld through his DS’s eyes, he lives and breath’s for that boy. 
- 1st tip to DisneyWorld. She’s our rule follower. 
She loves to hear a please and thank you, and is always glad to tell you what a great job you’ve done. She’s our Ebay/customer products/techno wizard, she will research anything and everything, whether it’s Keen’s, Camera’s, or stroller’s: she knows all the scoop. She is so sweet and kind and she will bend over backwards for anyone. 
- Never been to DisneyWorld. Since Parker turns 5 in October we are celebrating his birthday a little early. What say’s “It’s my 5th Birthday” better then Chef Mickey’s… 
This kid is so smart plus he knows every character in all the Star Wars movies even the most obscure ones. He loves to play Wii, especially Lego Star Wars and he is a big water bug and our biggest hope is that he will slide down the water slides. He everyone’s excuse for going to DisneyWorld. 
It’s also a great idea that we are staying on the properties because naptime maybe crucial. 
That is so exciting. I sure wish I had 6 more days... Just 38 more days.
we had lots of fun. We did Dave's special dinner he calls it "Stand - Up Tacos" really good, not your traditional Taco's lot's of hidden secrets... 
's for my favorite Texans!!
How many places can you find Mac and cheese in the park?
