Surprise Trip to the World! Without the kids!

[satman1962]

As this is my first attempt at a trip report of any kind you'll have to bear with me, as my thoughts do get jumbled from time to time

I guess I am the Disney nut in the family, DW, I sometimes feel is just along for the ride. The kids, all four of them enjoy themselves every time, but can you believe they'd often rather play mini-golf then tour the parks!


So just to introduce ourselves formally....


Me, the Dad, would live in an apartment above main street if I could.

Dw, lives for the kids, loves to shop! Runs her own Scrapbook store, always busy

Kids: DS 16 DS 14 DD 11 DS 9


The really great thing is I had booked us a trip without the kiddies for August 19-24 A studio at the Boardwalk. (Let me just say that I really do love to stay at the Epcot resorts. It's perfect when we're the six of us! Especially with the easy walk to the mini-golf (see above))

I even booked a few ADR's (DW is such a picky eater, her favorites? Cheesecake Factory, and The Melting Pot)
This time I will drag her to...

Le Cellier (Our first time to try what they're all ranting about)
California Grill (Also our first time)
Crystal Palace

But that's another story....



So it's May and I'm like thinking, hey, the kids are off school on the 21st (Queen Victoria Day here in Canada ) and the little ones are off as well on the 23rd and 24th! So that means Grandma won't have to jump through hoops getting the gang ready for school if I ask her to watch them.....Time to call Disneyworld

Okay...I have some DVC points available, but two weeks out, I'd be lucky to get anything ............


Here's the gang, from the last trip.

Saratoga Springs has a studio available for May 21-24 and I'm on the wait-list for the 20th!


Things are falling into place


Even if the wait-list doesn't come through we can always stay a night with DW's cousins who live in Melbourne, that's just a short drive away.


On to the flights
