I've never done one of these before although I love reading others, so bear with me as I venture into unfamiliar territory...
Who:
There are 12 of us. We generally go every 3 years and generally the first week of June (as it is our parents anniversary). Our last trip was in 2008. We had planned to go last year, but due to health problems and finances, we were unable to go.
The Cast of Characters:
Me - I'm the Dana of dananbethany. I'm 38 and Eeyore-shaped.
Bethany - my daughter. She's the Bethany of dananbethany. She's 16 and her favorite Disney movie is The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Nana - The matriarch of the family. She is married to Papa, the patriarch of the family. (Neat how that works out, eh?) They will celebrate their 41st anniversary while we are vacationing.
KK and JJ - My sister and BIL. When we were growing up, our father used to say that KK could run a small South American country so she's the planner of the group. JJ is in the military and we appreciate all he does for us (especially the discounts!)
Buzz and Badger - KK and JJ's children. Buzz is our resident pirate and Toy Story expert (therefore, his nickname). He is 13 and has Asperger's. Badger is 12 and she loves to make videos! Her nickname comes from the fact they live in Wisconsin.
Unkie and Red - My brother and SIL. Unkie (as he is called by the kids) has back problems but he doesn't let that slow him down! Red is a redhead.
Toast and Tambo - Toast is 9 years old and is hilarious. She got her nickname from Badger. We never quite understood how she acquired it. Tambo is a 5 year old bundle of energy. His nickname comes from how he pronounces his middle name.
KK, JJ, Buzz, and Badger live in Wisconsin. The rest of us live in SC.
When:
June 2 to 8, 2012.
Where:
We will be staying at All Stars Sports. In the past, we used to camp, but once we stayed at All Stars Movies in 2005, we decided that we enjoyed staying on Disney property much better! In 2008, we stayed at Pop Century.
Stay tuned - I'll add our itinerary and other pertinent information as it becomes available!

Love the title of your report! Sounds like it's going to be a great trip! Can't wait to hear more!
No big plans for the day - just to wander around the Happiest Place on Earth.
We have reservations at San Angel's Inn at 11:30 AM, then we plan to explore the countries to our hearts' content until it's time to meet the family at suppertime. 
Except for those of us who quit our jobs and decide to overtake Cinderella Castle by storm to live there.
