We are very excited for this upcoming trip. We get to go at the holidays AND we get to take some people who we consider some of our favorite people. For sake of anonymity, we will call them The Smiths (Dan, Tina & Josh) LOL. But I will likely post their pics but its okay.
This trip came to be when our dear friends were going through a very tough year this past Spring / Summer. DH and I truly love these friends. Weve lived here for 2 ½ years and have found this family to be close to our hearts very quickly. Josh is right between DD13 and DS12 and Dan & Tina get along great with DH and I. DH and I wanted to do something wonderful for them. We also wanted to do something wonderful with our family. We decided to plan this trip and invite them to join us. Things arent stable yet for them, so there might be a chance they cant come last minute and thats okay. Well have to be flexible.
The details:
When - 1st week of December the week RIGHT after Thanksgiving. Sunday Saturday stay. DS12 and DD9 will be in FL with their mother for Thanksgiving so well just piggy back off that and when we pick them up, well go to Disney. YES the kids will all miss a week of school Oh well!
Where Right now we are booked in a 2 bedroom at SSR our HOME resort. We did it right at 11 months. At 7 months, I am going to try to move to AKV-Kidani. We want to have the benefit of the extra potty with our crew. If we cannot get AKV, well be happy at SSR or OKW since they have more sq. footage. We will cross that bridge when we get to it.
Who Our family: DH, ME, DD13, DS12, DD9. The Smiths: Tina, Dan & Josh12 (by the trip DS and Josh will also be 13). So we will have 3 13year olds on our hands!!! WOOHOO So fun! The boys can get nutty sometimes, but DH keeps saying they might grow up a bit by then. LOL
Dining Well use TiW. Dining Plan with teens does not make sense in my opinion. DH and I are doing a couple days at BWV over Spring Break in a few weeks, well buy it there.
