Another Waldo Adventure BEGINS!
So, I promised myself I wouldnt do another trip report this time. I figured people have to get tired of reading about Waldo, the wandering wingnut, right? Perhaps but, this time Im writing this for Waldo. I realise my dads coming up on his 74th birthday and really how many more pilgrimages to the Holy Land will he be able to make? Yeah, Im thinking hes no where near finished, but I need something to help pass the time about 60ish more days to be exact.
This trip is a special one, you see. Were going to Disney World to see good friends, to hang with family, to celebrate a milestone birthday, to relax after a difficult year, and finally our first trip home.
First some intros for those who arent familiar with me or my family:
Here we are:
(actually me and Maddie on Casey Jr. at DLR)
First theres me; Tracy aka T on these boards. Im currently a SAHM mom to DD7 and DS4. We live in So. Cal, about 15 minutes from Disneyland and were Disney goobers.
Then theres my Prince Charming DH; Andy. He says hes not that into Disney as I am, but I think its just his cover. He wears his Mickey tee shirts proudly and sports a Disneyland AP. Yeah, hes a Disney goober, too.
Heres our DD7 Maddie (& Evan). Shes my Belle. Shes smart, funny, cute, sassy and a complete Disney goober. I love her!
Shes our resident Hidden Mickey pro and Tink lover. She finds HM's everywhere! Even in non-Disney places.
Next up is our DS Evan. Ahh, what can I say about my own personal Damien? This kid is sweet and spicy all rolled up into a brown little ball! You want to choke him and kiss him at the same time. Hes our Stitch and hell be starting Kindergarten in the fall. THANK YOU!!!
We now have our traveling companions as always my parents.
Heres our wandering wonder, Waldo seriously does he need an introduction? Hes a joy to travel with well he will be as soon as we attach a GPS to his hiney. Hell be 74 this trip, and although hes had a bad year with his health, hes ready to rock Disney World even if hes in ECV. God help us!
And now the peanut butter to his jelly my mother TE. We call her The Enabler and well, shes just known as TE now.
This ones a Disney goober too!
And back for another trip with us is my brother and his family, The Ducks! So not Disney goobers. But they like vacation.
Here's my brother Rick & his wife Debbie:
My brother is a freakin' riot. We have so much fun where ever we go - and throw Waldo into that mix and it's a laugh party! We're all 3 Gemini's and have the same twisted sense of humor!
It drives our spouses crazy!
And then there's their DS16 (almost 17) Michael and their other DS12 Max. These boys are in it for the food and RNRC & Everest. Theyre teenagers they want food and rides. So theyll be dining reviews by the boys as well. Theyll do it if I ask them to.
Michael and Mickey:
Max, trying Beverly:
So there you have the Who part and very quickly heres the How and Where parts.
DH & I bought into DVC on our last trip to WDW in August 2008. Thanks to hurricane Faye our plans were foiled and we ended up taking a DVC tour to kill some time. DH fell head over heels and before we left, there was fresh ink on a beautiful new DVC contract at Kidani Village.
With the new contract we were given incentive points to use at SSR, so we decided to invite my brother and his family to join us for a 10 day trip in a 2 bedroom villa from August 4th to the 14th.
And then ALL that changed.
