Hi everyone! This is Stitch from The Gang Of Five! This is my first EVER trip report, and I'm absolutely ecstatic because I'm going to be documenting my dear little sister Piglet's ELEVENTH BIRTHDAY TRIP!! 
I'm so excited!
Before I get started, a little background. If you're wondering about the username, this account was created for me and my friends Lilo, Jumba, Pleakley, and Nani to talk about our GradTrip 2011. For more info on that, please see The Gang Of Five's First Trip: Summer 2011.
Anyway, as I said, Piglet is my little sister. That's not her real name of course, but like with my friends, I'm using a codename to protect her privacy and safety. Thanks for understanding! Piglet's turning eleven this coming Friday, November 26, and for the past three months, my parents (Certifiable WDW Nut and dr. jumba) and I have been working in secret to put together this trip for her birthday. Piglet and I have this week off from school, so the timing couldn't've been more perfect!
And now, on with the show!
Our story begins yesterday, Saturday, November 20. I took Piglet out to get pedicures, lunch, and then to the library while Mom (Certifiable WDW Nut) finished packing our van and Dad (dr. jumba) met with one of his students. I brought Piglet home, and she and our parents went to her belt test for Tae Kwon Do while I packed our car bags and toiletries. Piglet came home and went straight into the shower, and I put the last three bags in the van and covered everything in the back seat with blankets, Snuggies, and stray sweatjackets. We went to dinner at Cracker Barrel, and as we left the parking lot, Mom and Dad broke the news to her: we were going to Disney World for her birthday!
The look on her face was just incredible, sort of like this
, but happy. I couldn't really tell because it was already dark, but I think she had tears in her eyes! She'd had no idea what was going on, even though Mom could've sworn that she was on to us. There were some pretty close calls, , but in the end, she was completely surpised, just like we wanted!
We spent the next fourteen hours in the car sleeping, talking, eating, and just having a good time. We got to Florida at around four or five this morning, Sunday, November 21, after a short nap in a rest stop parking lot, and had breakfast at a diner in Daytona Beach. We're staying in a vacation home off property, Emerald Island Resorts or something like that, in a very nice three bedroom, two and a half bath townhouse. We arrived at around ten this morning, and spent the day sleeping, swimming, unpacking, and more sleeping. We went to Giordano's for dinner: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!
Tomorrow we're going over to the Dark Side: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios! Hopefully tomorrow I'll have pictures for y'all, but in the meantime, y'all are just gonna have to use your imaginations
Stitch out!
