I just found (and am
LOVING) your planning and TR. While I was reading your planning report, I had to pull up my calendar, as those dates sounded REALLY familiar -
And almost fell over when I did - My DH and I were in WDW with
my sister and her boyfriend
that same week! It was the first trip to WDW for both of them (they live in California, so have been to DL a few times - but neither had seen the 'the World'.)
AND - hotel and park hoppers were on us. (They bought their own airfare and we split the cost of the meals.)
AND - we sent them several advance gift boxes, including the UG, a passporter and shirts I made on Zazzle (
www.zazzle.com - you should check them out - a lot easier than trying to iron them on yourself!)
I was so dreading our trip - mostly because of the BF issue.
I had never met this one, and really wasn't looking forward to it. My sister changes boyfriends almost annually, so I try not to get too attached, if you know what I mean.
She's 46 and as she puts it, has never been married, but has been divorced 16 times.
That and - our taste in men is rather different. I've been married for 28 years to an accountant, whose favorite joke is "What do accountants use for birth control?...Their personalities."
But DS likes to date men right out of
prison because (and yes, she says this with a straight face') "
They're so buff when they get out of prison..."
Blessedly, it was NOT a nightmare trip. And oddly enough, for the first time in...well, since she was in high-school, DH and I actually liked her boyfriend! He was kind and respectful to my sister and of our plans and very grateful for the tickets and hotel room.
WOW. Now I'm waiting to be heartbroken when she tells me this one's gone too...
Can't wait to see if you actually made it to Boma on the 24th - we had 5:10 ADRs there the same night! (Although I don't remember seeing you there, it would still be wild to think that we had crossed paths and had to read about it on the internet months later!)
Really looking forward to your next installment!

BTW - Hi to fellow fans of your trippie, my Delaware neighbors, 9 miles to the north. I'm down here in Salisbury, MD!!
And I'd have sent Jessie up to buy you your margarita!!!!!!! I'm so waiting for the next installment......
not a happy Disney way.
. I am really enjoying your report though. Can't wait to read more.
