Hi everyone! My name is Beaner, and my Mommy and I are going to visit the Mouse. The Dates:
Wednesday, September 17th-Sunday, September 21st (Originally supposed to be during Columbus Weekend, but that didn't seem to work out, so I am taking some days off and going in Sept.)
The Resort:
Weeeelllll...I haven't really made an official decision as to where we are staying. There are a lot of variables, but I would ultimately like to stay at POFQ, but we'll most likely stay at POP. I have nothing against Pop, but Ellie's never stayed at a Mod...only All Stars.
The Flights:
Luckily Southwest recently put out this awesome "ding" fare. The "ding" is as follows...15% off...that's right 15% off! Well, as my family was supposed to take a trip in January that had to be canceled, we had a few vouchers that we ahem, needed to use. It ended up because of this discount that our flights were free to us, anyway. We'll be flying down after school on the 17th and then back in the morning on the 21st (maybe I can convince Ellie to come back that evening, but we'll see!)The Cast:
Me: Beana, Kathleen, Kat, Kath. A 28 year old Dis lover from age 3. When I was 3, I took my first trip to the Dis along with my mommy (DM) Ellie (you'll meet her soon), my Aunt Cathy(DAC), and my grandmother, Nanny. Nanny has a house in Florida, and every year as a child my DAC and I would fly down to visit the Nanster. As I got older, getting off school was harder and our yearly trips got cut short. My 2 most recent trips were a solo/other side of the family trip in Aug '07 for my other grandmother's surprise 80th birthday. Before that...well, that was February of 2004 (ghasp, yes, 3 and a half years between trips). I am a teacher
and taking trips to the DIS is hard and EXPENSIVE for us, as when we can travel, every other kid and their family can travel. But, I love what I do, and know that the school year will have just started, but.....DM: Ellie, Ellen, Noonie, Ma. A 52 year old Dis lover, yet not often tripper. The last time she was in the Dis was in 2000. Ol' Ma and I went January 3, 2000, ya know, right after Y2K. We figured we'd give them 2 days to figure everything out before we arrived...hehe. I have been trying to get her on a plane since then, but ever since 9/11 she's been leary. (We live on Long Island...9/11 was very close to home, as many of you NYers know.) She is a retired Telephone Company employee
...and loving every minute of retirement. More to come...itineraries, dining, and such, but here's the appetizer....My plan is to make a link to each update on this first post...but we'll see how it goes. Thanks for reading!
