Thank goodness for presidents!

Will this trip happen? Who knows!?

Okay, so today I was looking at a calendar thinking, "Oh, what do we have coming up?"
Then.... I see something wonderful that says "President's Day"... THAT MEANS NO SCHOOL! On February 16th- NO SCHOOL!! Do you believe it?!?! I don't; how could this have slipped my mind! We were planning on a bday trip for my dad in April but it was a busy-time no go.... But now... Next week; there's a time we can go?
I run to my computer to check hotels! With sweat dripping from my forehead I type the simple, but stunning word......



EXPEDIA.com
and my mind is whisked off to wonderful Disney places... I find Stoval's Inn.... For 315 for our whole trip plus a $50 gift card! I leap to hit the confirm button.....

Then I realize..

I'm 14; I can't be doing this!
My dad get's home in a few hours. I've talked this over with my mom and she won't go; she likes relaxing and a break from us would be "nice". So, it'd be me and my daddy! :groom:
Wow, that felt good to get that off my chest.
So, the deal is that I haven't even talked to my dad about this, but I'm going crazy and shaking all over the place. Yeah...
I have a major case of D.O.C.D. It's horrible actually. Disney Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. If you can; get away from it now! It's horrible but great... It'll be weeks and I won't think about my obsession, but then something like this comes up and it's my life. It's horrible, but so great... AGHH!!
I guess you should know who I am now, huh?
Hi I'm Dani! I'm 14 and act like an adult when it comes to planning. It's an obsession as I already said. Bad. I LOVE performing! I do dance, choir and drama (as if you couldn't tell already.)! I love Disney, lime green, princesses, and food! Good stuff!

Well, I guess I'll give you our little cast :)

Dani (Tink)-
Yes, you already read about me a few sentences ago. I'm just about every princess, I'm like Belle, I LOVE reading! And I'm VERY curious. :) But I'm adventurous like Mulan, sweet like Cindy, bold like Jasmine and still shy like Snow White. I'm just my own princess, but I really relate to Tinkerbell! I can get REALLY mad at times and love to stir up trouble. I dance around (flying?). She's just my inner-spirit ;) Did I mention my nickname is Tink?

Dad (Buzz)-
He likes "saving the day". But is quite old ;) He's nice when he wants to be, but has a hint of a temper ;) All he thinks about is really eating, though. So, I'm well fed ;)

Mom (Not going, but Eeyore!)-
She's very quiet. She loves Disney and all, but likes to hang back. She says "Oh Bother" alot ;)

Well, now you have my cast! I'm excited to see what happens with things! :blush:

 
good luck Dani!

Thanks! He's home and I approached him slightly....
He's saying that he'll definitely think about it. But he says it'd be mean to leave my mom home... but she doesn't wanna go. :p confusing. Why can't parents just go along with our plans?
 

Schedule!
So, my dad decided "yes"! We're doing a "father-daughter" trip. Should be fun because he knows how much Disneyland means to me. :) Sweet! :)

We go about 2 times a year, so we're pretty famillar, so everything is on an impulse, we use to live in Cali an hour away too and went like 3 times a month, lol.
 
Sounds like a great start to such a short notice trip! Like you I'm a teenager and have a severe case of DOCD. ;) Hope your trips goes well and I'll be waiting for a full report when you return!
 
I'm nervous, excited, stuffy and tired all at the same time! (but mostly excited...) In 24 hours, I'll be sleeping for my first day at Disneyland! I'll try and get on the internet on my phone in the car, but if that doesn't work, I'll post when I get home from school and then when we get to our hotel! I'm extremely excited! (I'm even wearing my Minnie Mouse water-paint shirt to school tomorrow! :cheer2:
 
So, we're driving right now! -thank goodness for blackberrys too,right?- the ride is tiresome, I'm incredibly sore right now too! I'm ubber excited! So excited that I'm going to take another nap, nighty night!
 
we stayed at Stovall's in '05, it was great.
 
Sorry, I can't do the TR guys :( I don't have access to the pictures and I didn't take notes, because I was a bad DIS girl :( Sorry I let you down guys!
I feel so bad!
Will you forgive me if I promise to do one for my next mother daughter trip??
