Oh, where to start
.I guess introductions would be best
isnt that the norm?
I believe in starting with the eldest so
Pepaw 64 - My Dad... First thing you should know about him all American veteran. He was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam and is an avid troop supporter. Not real talkative, but when he speaks, he has something to say. He mainly loves to laugh at all the crazy antics my DH and kids come up with! And, he will carry any kid on his shoulders all over WDW just to be able to complain about it for the next 20 years. Oh, Im a self admitted Daddys girl.
Memaw 63 - My Mom she is who she is. She likes to likes to be in control. I planned this entire trip this may be hard for her! She loves her grandbabies and was very excited about this trip with them. She and I took my twin nephews when they were four many years ago they will be 17 this July. But it has been neat for her to experience the first time they all saw the castle! Next year she is taking my niece. My mom is in pretty good health, just has some foot pain due to plantar faciatis. She got new orthodics a week before the trip, so that should help some.
Ddog
Buckley 49 (okay, dog years
that counts right?)
he did not go with us, but he is a part of our family, and he will make a guest appearance in the report.
DH 39 - The love of my life.
Without this man I do not know what I would do. He is strong, caring, and loves his family like no other. He is from Ohio, so that makes him MY Yankee
he likes it that way, leads to lots of jokes he can pull on his southern family! Did I mention he is the FUNNIEST person I have ever met. We live to have fun filled drama free lives
never happens
but we try!
ME!!!! The Maid
- 36! I cant believe Im 36! Pains me! Really it does, right there in my back
after three kids
the lower back is killing me! Im a southern belle
LOL
no Im just really kinda a tomboy and gentle southern all rolled up into one. I like calm in my life
again, dont get it often
drama filled family. I lived in my same hometown area until October of last year when my DH was relocated. I am only 1 ½ hours from home
but it is still hard! Oh you want me to explain The Maid bit
here goes. One night the kids were explaining that Daddy was King, DD9 is a Princess, DS6 is a Prince, DS4 is a Knight. I asked, not knowing any better, am I the Queen. The answer was no Mommy, you are the MAID! Huh? Well, I cook, clean and drive everyone around
so I must be the maid! Oh, we will be bringing the maid on vacation too!
DD9 - The Moonkler Moonk I know weird nickname! She has had it since the day she was born. DH called her that and it stuck. She is stuck somewhere between being a little girl and wanting to grow up. I so hoped we had not waited for this trip too late would she still be a child full of wonder?
DS6 - Big boy no not like Shoneys he just had the biggest head EVER when he was born, so he was a big boy the name just kinda stuck and we still call him that. He is the most tender hearted child you will ever meet! He is terrified of bugs and does not like to be caught off guard .this will come into play at Disney
He loves his big sister and they really do have the neatest relationship. They will hold hands without even knowing they are doing it. I hope they always love each other like that!
DS4 - He likes to pretend he is Perry the Platypus but we call him Lil Bits or Bits he has always seemed so small. I guess that comes from being the baby. Yes, I spoil him and he can manipulate EVERYONE in the family if need be. He is without a doubt very hyper and not scared of ANYTHING! This should make for some fun moments! He loves everyone, even strangers, now that scares me sometimes you must watch him at all times again will come into play!
So thats us. This would be our first extended family vacation. Would all go smoothly? Oh I sure did hope! I have spent months on the DIS reading, learning, reading again did I remember everything?
BTW there will be pictures...someday...half my pics are with my mom on a CD that went home with her! By the time we get to the road trip...I will have the CD.

Great start and I can't wait to hear more!
& 
I am so excited you all get to come on the jouney! I really was suffering from TR writing anxiety!
Strange, I know...really he has been waiting to be a Dad I think his whole life so he could goof with kids! So, he speaks kid speak very well, even when she could not understand!
Okay, lame
but you know what I mean, must know where to be, the best way to get there, and how long to stay! I have never been like that before the DIS
really
never! ( I mean, we are the idiots that decided July 4th weekend was a good time to head to the NC outer banks with NO reservation! If you dont know
there are NO rooms available
that was years ago, but it was a fun trip?)
who will not plan for the happiest place on earth and you saw them
they were the ones that were mad about the lines or you because you knew to run for that fast pass before you did everything else, you lined up for the parade an hour in advance so your kids could see, they didnt and they are mad at you
happy place please!
I added another day to the reservations and another day in the parks. The kids had recently started watching Star Wars, so we HAD to go during a Star Wars weekend! This was the moment I gave up Paula Deen for my kids! If we did this
no Savannah! Oh well
they are worth it
plus I am the one that came up with the idea of an extra day!
…weakness really!
Had to now, run home and shower so the people at school don’t think I’m crazy. I admit, I drive my kids to school in my PJ’s and bare feet! Got that done. Went for a while to field day…not apart of the plan!!!
He was coming to my rescue! He took the kids…I did some speed shopping…found some cute outfits…I love that man! We picked FIL up and took him to lunch for an early father’s day since we would be gone. We had the WORST service ever. We were in the restaurant for two hours!!!! I needed to get home…soon! DH took the family home while I ran to Wal-mart for the last time. 
…have to pick up Big Boy’s allergy medicine. Done…on the road
…
How sweet your DH is to help so much!!
