Our dates: August 27th through September 2nd.
(Will YOU be there at the same time? I already know some cool DIS people who will be!
)
Alright, so we have 27 days left to go before our trip to DISNEY WORLD and I figured Id start NOW on the trip report. That way, when we get back from vacation, Ill have to finish it. Otherwise, I might just keep putting it off. Which wouldnt be a good thing. Because well, I know that everyone is dying to read about our trip and all the fun things we did while we were down there! Okay maybe not, but I can dream can't I?
So, here we go. The PRE-trip report. The exciting details of who is going, what well be doing, where were staying, etc. Come on, get excited. You know you cant wait to read all about it!
The WONDERFUL people going on this trip:
Lily - My little sister I had to wait 11 years to get! She's 7 years old, but we'll be celebrating her 8th birthday down at Disney which is a couple of days after we get back. This girl is CRAZY! She's nowhere near shy; okay maybe a tiny bit at first, but that passes within about 5 seconds after meeting her. She's a dancer and well, that's pretty much all she does. If you walk into her room, there she is dancing in front of the mirror. She also likes to look up everything about Disney. She pretty much knows what she's going to order at every restaurant we're eating at, what rides we should do and when, etc. She's definately MY sister. Ha.
John - One of my little brothers; 11 years old. Too smart for his own good. Seriously. At the age of 3, this kid was asking questions I couldn't answer. Neither could my parents. He's also probably one of the sweetest kids you'll ever meet. Well, MOST of the time!
John & Lily.
Last but certainly not least, there's ME!
Lauren - 18 years old, but turning 19 shortly after our trip! (We have 6 people in our family, with 4 of us having September birthdays!) College student, studying to become a physical therapist. I'm probably the most excited about our upcoming trip. Is that bad?
Seriously though, I can't wait. 
Okay, so I bet everyone is wondering where the parents are... or at least where someone else my age is. There isn't. This trip is just me, the little brother and the little sister. (Hence the title!
) This is something I've really wanted to do for them for awhile now and finally have the chance to do it. I started saving up money and then booked the trip! 
I asked my parents and our other brother, Mike (who's 15, almost 16) if they'd like to come along, but my Mom thought it'd be nice if it was just us. Mike didn't want to come. Disney World doesn't have his friends and girlfriend. Go figure.
Our last trip to Disney was back in January 2002. Yes, way too long ago. At least for me. We stayed at ASMovies and had a GREAT time. So, it was time to head on back. Plus, I think Disney World missed us too much for us to stay away any longer.
Choosing where we were staying on this trip was up to Lily. She'd get online with me and look at pictures of the different resorts. AND she'd get online by herself, too. So, she had a pretty good idea of what each resort looked like by the time I booked the trip. She knew deluxes were out of the question... because well, I'm a college student and I can't spend THAT much money just on the hotel. Know where she picked?
Yes, that's right. POP Century. She made it easy... she picked a value! Which works out perfectly for us. Personally, I love the value resorts. They're so much fun. All the oversize statues, the bright colors, everything. She picked POP because of this:
Along with all the other oversized statues. She said they were just "SO COOL!"
Okay, I think that's all for now.
Our list of ADR's, itineraries & all that good stuff is coming tomorrow.

This evening, we're heading back to EPCOT for our 5:40pm ADR at Coral Reef. We're all really looking forward to this restaurant and I'm definately going to see if they can sit us as close to the aquarium as possible!
