I know, I know its like WAY early to be starting a trip report when our vacation is like a whole year off, but I just cant resist any longer Seriously I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the clock to strike midnight just so I can post this. So sit back and grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy the next year with my family and I as we count down to our Magical Adventure! We are very excited about this trip to the World. We will be meeting up with My Dbro and his family, they R EXTREEM Disney Lovers to the MAX!
THE CAMO CREW
Me-Micki, yes that really is my name, well the only name I have gone by my entire 30 years of life, and yes I am the Disney freak of the household, (how could I not be with a name like Micki?) I blame it all on my parents!! I am taking on the Magnificent roll of Trip Planner Im a SAHM, I have a small photography business yes this TR WILL include pictures probably more than you will want to see LOL I also like to be creative so you will probably see numerous projects along the way
DH- Dan he is borderline ANTI-Disney (WHAT is wrong with people these days??) I am a TRUE believer that he just needs a little pixie magic to get in the mood OR not? We will do our best to convert him. But regardless I have some how managed to twist his arm into a fun family adventure to Walt Disney World, it should be interesting as of today he has never flown and is scared to death of it (dont tell him I told you that though) He doesnt care much for big crowds, but loves his family enough to TRY and enjoy himselfJ
Any who.. we are parents to three magnificent mouseketeers, Zackattack, my oldest son is 10 1/2 He started 5th grade in September and I can honestly say that I am NOT smarter than a 5th grader.... just don't tell HIM that. He likes Disney, although he's not SUPER excited about it, or at least doesn't SHOW he is. He is VERY excited about this trip, mostly because he will get to hang out with his cousins from California that he doesnt see very often.
Our first time to WDW was for his 8th birthday, it was.... ehhhh ok, we went with friends, me, the three kids and our friends and they did most of the planning...errr lack there of, 6 days at Saratoga Springs, only two days at MK, one at sea world the rest??? just bummed at the room WHAT were we thinking??? This time I am on the ball with all sorts of ideas to plan out..
Any who, the rest of my crew, Prestomatic soon to graduate from the fabulous 5 age group, Started Kindergarten this fall, yeah I can still do his homework!! He can get pretty excited about Disney... especially Goofy, he's a bit of a goof himself. He doesnt really KNOW we are going, I mean I am not hiding anything, but I plan to make a BIG tadoo at Christmas about our Trip and then the fun will REALLY begin!!
And finally Princess Ellee, who will be 4 in February AKA Lucy... (as in short for Lucifer) yes I did just say that about my precious baby girl, whom I love to pieces but BOY is she a devious little bundle of curls and glitter. She is a big Disney lover, of course she is ALL about the Princesses, sleeping beauty is her favorite, but she also has a soft spot for Minnie Mouse. She talks about going to see the Princesses on a daily basis, she will see an outfit and say OH mom I could wear THAT when I meet Ariel, She would think I was beautiful just like her. She is even picking out outfits for her babies to wear
We are very excited about this trip to the World. We will be meeting up with My Dbro and his family, they are EXTREEM Disney Lovers to the MAX! Well call them The Keppys for future reference They make monthly trips to Disney Land and took their first Trip to WDW in Feb of 2007, they can hardly wait to get back, they will also be doing a Disney Cruise before we meet up with them at WDW. While they were at WDW in 2007 my parents, who are on the road truck drivers. Happened to be in Southern Florida so I convinced them to go see Keppys. They Spent I think it was 2 days at Magic Kingdom with them J
A little back history When my parents gave up their life of normalcy to become truck drivers, as in sold their farm and officially have NO home other than the Purple Beast. I helped them pack and move and while going through things in the old office I found an old Daily Planner of my dads dated 1984, in the back there was a spot that said Yearly goals . At the top of the page in my dads writing it said Take family to Disney World We were always very poor growing up and that goal just was never able to come to life L But hey, life goes on right?
So anyhow My dad doesnt know yet, but we are all going, I mean HE and mom will be joining us on our Magical trip to the World!! My mom is totally game in going Dad will take some convincing, so the less he knows for now the better! I have no doubt that this will be GRAND to the MAX!
Speaking of family there is more My previous mentioned brother was a bit of a surprise as in We didnt know he existed until rather late in life like 19 years after he was born.. He is the oldest son of my father, and his family has been a wonderful addition of blessings to our family. Next in line is My brother Anton and his Wonderful Wife, Lisa. Then I came along and finally my not-so-little Bro, Judd, His DS, his DW and her DD. Both my brothers are 2008 newly weds I plan to invite both sets of Newlyweds at Christmas time too, just trying to think of the best/magical way to do it.

MEET THE CAMO CREW
THE STARTING PLAN
So I am figuring if we arrive mid day on the 24th we wont have much time for anything although I am secretly hoping for an early flight, I wont count on it until I know more. I plan to start this vacation with some good ole family fun at Mickeys Backyard BBQ, I know many of you dont LOVE this, but I think it will be PERFECT for our crew! Look at me I am planning what I will eat a year from now? Maybe I AM cRaZy???? NAWWWW.
And then of course, it seems we have been hit hard with the school sickies this year, I am quite sure that someone in our household has not been well since the kids went to school, This week I THINK the pink eye has finally ended, after 6 loads of washing pillows and bedding and two cans of lysol, I think we FINALLY beat it! Which only opened the door to a flu bug of some sort, brought home by my 5th grader, Today I got blessed with it, hopefully I have protected the other kids and hubby from catching it.
