In just a few short hours we are heading to the Happiest Place on Earth!
For those of you who don’t know me, allow me to provide a little background. We haven’t been to WDW since June of 2005. We planned to revisit in 2006 but the unthinkable happened. Katrina. You see, I am from New Orleans. Our house was not too badly damaged, but my husband worked at one of the hotels in the French Quarter. He would have had to take a pay cut and we were barely surviving on his and my salary as it was. We made a very difficult decision to relocate to Mississippi. I was able to stay with my company and move to a parallel position here. He found a job paying more than what he was making back home, and we were also able to buy a beautiful new home very close to my son’s new school. We are truly blessed.
Excuse me. I think I need a moment.
Okay. I’m good now. I’d discovered the DIS way before the 2005 trip, but I usually hung out on the Community Board. Then one day I discovered the joys of reading trip reports. I started out with Delswife. She got me addicted. Along the way I discovered many more great trip reporters on the DIS. Then the Maelstrom struck. Blame Mel Happyhaunt. Somehow a band of merry and mischievous Vikings was born from her reports, and we are still very close friends to this day. But that’s another story for another time.
Lets get to the facts, ma’am.
The krewe:
Me – Tink, the planner and copilot.
DH – Dick(y), Richard, whatever you want to call him – The pilot. Loves all things Disney, as do I
DS – Richard – 12 year old who is too smart for his own good. This tends to get him in trouble with the copilot. A LOT. Thrill ride seeker.
DN – Bailey – also 12 – 11 weeks older than Richard. Very shy and sweet. Loves her Nanny (me) to death. Also a thrill ride seeker.
We are staying at Pop Century. Now don’t get me started on resorts. I’m never in my room unless I’m sleeping or showering, so I don’t really care where I stay. Plus. If I can squeeze another trip out of it by staying at a value resort, I’m for sure going to do it. I DID book a preferred room, if it makes you feel any better.
There will be MUCH more to come, but you’ll have to wait. Because I’m goin’ to DISNEY, baybee!
