Before our start out here is a little background of each person who went:
Family numbero uno:
Father- He may complain of our daily walking agenda, but he loves Disney World just like the rest of us. The beginning of the year he always looks to my mom and says "Do you want to go back to Disney in December?" And we always say yes.
Mother- Loved Disney World since I could remember... Loves getting crazy with the characters, and loves acting like a kid again in the best place that you can imagine!
Grandmother- She also loved Disney since I could remember.....Everytime a Disney character comes to her they just stand by her most of the time interacting with her! The characters love my grandmother
Me- Being 17 I've grown up basically at Disney World. I went there for my first time at the age of 2 (i think) and loved it. I remember what I was wearing when I first met Mickey Mouse, I remember me running up to him and giving him a huge hug, and i remember where the special moment was! I will always have a love for Disney till I'm old and tell my future grandchildren about my first visit with Mickey Mouse.
It was Magical
Family number two:
Mom- Worked at Disney when she was in College and never complained about it. She always loved Disney since! Each year she wants to go. It will be only a matter of time when she comes back to work again.
Dad- Likes Disney, but not all the walking around you have to do. He is such a fun person to ride rides with because he will not scream. He will laugh at everyone else laughing from screaming or screaming for the ride, etc.
THe kids- Little ones with same reaction I had when I was their age. They always want their picture with a character and I just smile when their faces light up from joy.
Cousin- her first time going and she loved it!!! She loved watching all the Disney movies and it was her wish to have a family vacation at DIsney World. Well, she got that. Her father let her come down with us in December for a fun 10 day trip! Now she wants to go again and again and again till she can't go no more! 
Hope you enjoyed that! Now, here is our daily guide to our December, 2007 trip:
Pre-trip: We went to pick up my cousin from a rest stop halfway from our house to her's. That was a Tuesday December, 4th. We had no other time to pick her up for our favorite trip of the year. Wednesday was our last day being home before driving down to Disney World! My dad arrived home during his usual time and slept. We figured we would leave around 1am, but that was not the case. He woke up around 10:30pm and we were out of the door and driving out of the driveway by 10:45. The drive from freezy, cold, Maryland, to warm, and sunny Orlando would be a total of 14 hours long, maybe even longer! We drove straight through and reached the Florida welcome center to take a good hour rest for my dad to sleep and for us to chit-chat about the trip. There was no possible way that we would sleep because we were both excited. My cousin didn't know what to expect!!!!!!! By the time we reached North Carolina it was Thursday, December 6th! We were so excited!!! 
So excited that we started listening to the Disney Hits cd and singing along!
We reached the exit and couldn't contain our emotions. we just started screaming! The screaming grew louder and louder till we were on the Disney Property. Our package didn't start till the next day so we were basically stranded in our disney resort the whole day.
We had reservations for one night at Disney's Pop Century Resort. My dad was finally able to take a nap for a decent time while we went to the pool for a few hours talking about our first offical day at the Disney Parks!
Day 1: The next morning we woke up, brushed our teeth, changed, and grabbed our over night back and walked to the check out counter. We checked out, then checked back IN again for our package. Then it was off to Animal Kingdom!!!!!!!
We got there early which was my suggestion. My dad didn't want that to be the case but I said, "Dad, if you want to get on a popular ride right away you HAVE to go early." So we did. We were about the 10th or so people in line waiting for the gates to open up. And when they did we made a bee line right over to Expedition Everest. I told my cousin that it's the most popular ride out of all the rides in Walt Disney World! When we got there my dad waited while we ran into the line. To our surprise it was a 20 minute wait. We thought it would have been longer due to everyone that was running in between us! But we got on the ride in about 5 minutes. It was no where near 20 minutes! My cousin loved it so much that she wanted to ride it again and again. We made a deal to ride it at least 10 times in a row or through out our vacation. Sadly, we only reached 7
.
Through out the day we went on the fun rides. Dinosour, Primevil Whirl, It's Tough To Be A Bug, and many more. The rest of our party would be arriving at the Airport from Maryland to meet us at Animal Kingdom. So we met up with my mom, grandmother, and friends and waited for them as they were in line for Goofy. From there we went over to the new Finding Nemo show. It was fantastic! IF you are about to leave for your Disney vacation PLEASE go see it!! You must see it at least two times before you leave. The stage, and the movements of the puppets were so life like!
Day two - Day 5 coming soon, along with some pictures!

Through out the day we went to the Narnia walk through, Backlot Tour, and more so my cousin could get the full experience. I've been going to Disney for years and we bumped into characters that you never see!!! It was fun day at MGM!!!!
As soon as we finished it was time for our Magical Gatherings Wishes Cruise!
You did better than us, we were only able to ride it 4 times in a row, last trip. We only stopped bacause we ran out of FP. We were using the ones from the rest of our party who stopped after 1.
