Back in the early 70's I went to Disney world with my family as a young boy. It was me, mom, dad, my 2 brothers and my sister. We stayed at the Polynesian Village now the Polynesian. We had a picture taken by a totem pole in the courtyard all wearing matching Disney sweatshirts. That photo has always been a family favorite (especially to my father). Now over 30 years later we are all going back to the Polynesian the first week of November. We have a few additions to our cast there are now 3 wives and 4 young children (all first timers). We can't wait for our new family photo with our new family members. I can't help but think we will be back here together again in another 30 years with a whole new group of cast members. Disney is more than a resort it is a tradition. I am so excited!!!!!

I think that would be so cool to watch my parents experience Disney for the first time. They will have such a good time with their grandchildren!!! We will be there the first week so you can be in charge of the fun as soon as we leave!

I also went with the family as young teen but by then I was too cool for school.

I did not go again until last year Jan 30th to Feb 3rd 2007. I went with my girlfriend and returned home with my fiancee! I proposed to her in the front seat of the Rockin' Roller coaster just before we were shot down the track! We met on match.com, and oddly enough on our very first date we were at a Starbucks and we were talking about how we both loved Disney. A few minutes or maybe an hour later I looked down on the floor and there was a small gold Mickey Mouse ring. I slipped it on her finger and jokingly asked her to marry me. A year later to that day I slipped a diamond ring on her finger on the Rockin' Roller coaster.

Our next trip was the last weekend in April 2007. I told her that I got a great deal on a trip to Tampa. We left late Friday and landed at Tampa airport around 8:30 pm. She had worked all day so as I had hoped she fell asleep in the rental car soon after I started driving. Instead of a cheap motel in Tampa I headed to the French Quarter in Disney World. She woke up as I was getting out of the car at the hotel lobby. She look confused and I did not say anything to her, I just walk back to the car trunk. Soon she got out of the car just as a CM was approaching. She asked the CM "where am I?" the CM replied "You're in Disney World!" The look on her face was all I hoped for and more! It was so hard not to tell her we were headed for Disney I ended up telling her entire family (I was so excited I had to tell someone) and they all kept my secret.

We were married on Hilton Head Island in May 2007. The first 2 days we were on the Island we stayed at the HH DVC. It was great we loved it. Our families came down and we spent the week all together (16 of us) in a beach house. At the end of the week it was back to Disney for the Honeymoon. We stayed at the contemporary with a magic kingdom view!! We never closed the curtains!

We love Disney!!
