SURGEON GENERAL WARNING: As it is my first time writing a trip report, I apologize in advance for any boredom you may suffer during the length of this trip report and I do not claim any responsibility for any damage you may do to your computer or yourself when you're yelling "Okay, move along now!". 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here goes nothing....
All the successful trip reports I have read,state a cast. By successful I mean they get lots of readers/comments begging for the next update, their TR is the first on the TR forum list, people make little idols of them and put them by their computers...er..um, uh ha..ha..moving on....
Cast:
- Cristabel (me). 17 yrs; Love almost anything Disney; prefer the classics over anything. Always get that warm, fuzzy feeling whenever I see a Disney commercial. To explain my icon, its a nickname by my aunt, Cristabelly; like when the mice are singing "cinderelly"..yeah, onward!
- Anais; 6yrs. Loves watching Disney movies and of course Disneyland (she's only been twice though). Is thoroughly excited for this trip because she gets to stay at a hotel, go figure 
. The official countdowner
- Diana; 19. Somewhat excited about the trip. Jealous (deep down, i know it 
) because her I am getting a better graduation present than she did. Is possibly the only person who can be my enemy/friend at the same time.
- Mami (hispanic term for mom); if I told you her age, I'd have to kill you. Contrary to her icon, is very nice and loves to have fun with her family. Doesn't understand the love I have for Disney. Diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which causes her to feel ill at times (may explain the several possible rest stops in the TR).
- Papi (hispanic term for dad); couple years older than my mom. The ultimate family man, will do anything for us. Mr. Moneybags, ha ha not really 
Mr. funny man, in a very corny way 
December 05/ Jan 06: I was in my room looking at the different vacations offered by AAA, trying to decide what to do for my high school graduation in June and what do my eyes gaze upon?
That's right! AAA's rate for a Disney World vacation! I calculate the expense in my mind and realizing that it may actually be feasible for us to do it, run downstairs to show my dad.
I approach my dad with a sweet smile and start off "uh...papi..." he looks at me suspiciously, replying " *sigh* what do you want?"
After giving my spiel on how great this would be yatta yatta, all he says is "and?" Parents what can you do with 'em?
So I have to act as our travel agent and feverishly search the web for airfare, tickets, etc.
So I created a powerpoint; comparing my findings (onsite vs. offsite, AAA discounts, plan of attack etc), I even embedded Disney music clips! I was on a quest to impress my family with my mad skills!
I set up a "meeting" time with my family one night. I attached the computer to our big screen tv and gave my presentation. I said everything very "matter-of-factually".
The "plan" was to stay 5 days, because I knew that would already be pushing it but at the end of my presentation, my parents decided Heck why not a whole week? SCORE!
Just recently my dad paid the balance of the trip to AAA. Only about a month to go and I can barely keep sane.
I constantly share tips and funny pet peeves of the DISers to my mom, as to make sure we get the most out of our first trip and that we don't do or say something really dumb and a DISer will be there to catch us.
I'm onto you, all of you!
You won't catch me say anything like that....not aloud anyways
Our trip is scheduled June 10th-16th and I can't wait!
