Grand Gathering!!! My Nephews' First WDW Trip!!!!

[Caribbeanprincess]

I'm so excited and we haven't even booked yet! Anyway, I'm gonna tell you a little story first.

My oldest sister is 19 years my senior, but even though we're worlds apart in age I couldn't be closer to her. She married in 1996 to a wonderful man and in 1999 my first nephew was born. Christian is entirely special. He was a completely healthy young child until he was 6 when he was suddenly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. He is the strongest child I've ever known and though he's been through many hardships, he has pulled through and I adore him. In 2000 we go little Jesus and in 2005 we got Gabriel. My nephews are the most amazing kids and I love them all to death, I could be considered there second mom, lol

There is something missing from their lives though, Christian just turned 10 and none of them have gone to The Happiest Place on Earth!!! Well, it's time to resolve that! Yesterday we mom and I recieved the wonderful news that we will be getting an inheretance money in 2 weeks time and we always planned for a 6th Disney trip when we got it. Except this time were taking the WHOLE crowd!
It's time for a magical gathering of EPIC proportions!

Here are some pics of the family:

Your family is adorable! I'm so jealous, we can't go during the summer at all. Being from a cold climate with no humidity, I think we'd melt!

I'm excited to hear your plans. Your family is so cute. Do you nephews like Disney movies? Do they know they are going yet?

They have been dying to go to Disney since forever, but because they're a family of 5 my sister could never afford it. They love Disney movies, especially the Pixar movies. The littlest one loves the Princesses and he's obssesed with Enchanted and so excited about seing the 'pretty girls'. I just told them all today that we would be going there on June 12th over the phone, I just heard endless screams and it made me so happy.

Thank you! We haven't been to WDW in the summer since 1998! The heat is not something I'm looking for!

[Caribbeanprincess]

For us it was the only place where my sister's family of 5 could fit and we could afford, hehe

 

[disneegrl4eva]

[Caribbeanprincess]

On-property only at the Boardwalk Inn last December. On my previous four trips I stayed off property.

Hey everyone. I've made our ADRs and we pretty much managed to find everything except for Le Cellier and Donald's Safari Breakfast.

Here's what we have:

June 12th - Dinner at Kona Cafe - I believe we'll be cancelling this one and heading to T-Rex since the kids really wanna go there and we have limited time
June 13th - Breakfast at 'Ohana 9:55am - Looks like we'll be getting late to MK, not good. I'm going to try to change this one to at least 8:55am.
June 13th - Lunch at the Crystal Palace 2:15pm
June 14th - Breakfast at the Hollywood and Vine 9:45am
June 16ht - Breakfast at Arkeshus 10:45am

It's weird, we can't get ADRs for Lunch or Dinner at the Sci-Fi.

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

Update Time!

We got one more ADR!

-June 14th lunch at the Sci-Fi, 1:40pm! Finally got a hold of that one! Took a while!

No luck in changing the time for Ohana and Arkeshu's. I'm still very worried about getting to MK after 11am. Will we be ok? :confused1:

I cancelled our Kona Cafe reservation. We'll be having dinner at T-Rex instead and doing a little DTD shopping. The boys are very excited about the 'dinosaur restaurant'. :

I'm also planning on ordering a custom cake for our lunch at the Crystal Palace. I have to wait until 2 weeks before leaving to contact the cake hotline. I'm not sure about this yet, the custom cakes are pretty expensive and i'm not sure if I will get what I want. We'll see what happens...

Only about 1 month to go!
