Hey everyone! You don't know me - I am completely new here but I lurk (aka stalk) a lot. So first off, let me introduce myself.. I am Christina and I am making first ever report on any trip - well duh this is the pre-trip side!
The boring background stuff... I am 40 (almost 41 - good lord), hubby Mike who is 37 (almost 38 - and yes I went younger lol), DS Brandon who is 14 (almost 15 - even bigger yikes) and of course her royal highness Gwendolyn who is 7.
2014 was a crappy year in every sense of the word. In June, I had a ruptured brain aneurysm which according to my doctor I shouldn't be alive. I didn't even go to the doctor for 3 weeks after it happened because all I knew is that I had a really really bad headache and apparently 2 strokes in those three weeks but you would never know it! Luckily, I am here and all repaired.
Normally, we vacation twice a year. We are cruise junkies (unfortunately not Disney ones lol) and go twice a year. We are from California and displaced into Virginia and had not been home in almost 4 years so we decided to go home in August. That trip, of course, led to Disneyland. Since we are from there, we have lots of friends etc... that work there and they hooked us up! We didn't pay for the parks and we had some surprises while we there as well. So without further boring text.. some pics!
Here is the family!
Left to right (Rahrah aka Sarah my SIL, my MIL aka Manna, DS, DH, Me, and her highness DD front and center)
SOOO she met Ariel and without prompting take a look at the stance and hands... total princess. lol
AND yes, we waiting in a horrific 2+ hour line just for.... so at least we don't have to do THAT at Disneyworld (whoop whoop! - can I get an AMEN!)
The biggest surprise came from our friend who got us in the park. She had an animator make my daughter THIS! One of kind for her and we made him sign it lol
If the pics are too big just let me know and I will resize/relink lol I had already shrunk them before posting
