See those four weirdos in the back of the vehicle? Yeppers that is my family the last time we were at Walt Disney World. This is one of the only photos of all of us together, something I intend to remedy this time around! It was the kids first trip They were 10 and 5 years old and we made the most of each day! ​

 

[Glittercat]

I apologize for the old picture, we really don't have any current ones of all of us. I'm usually the one behind the lens so getting one of all of us seldom happens. I'll work on that though and get one up soon!

Without further ado clockwise from left we have...
Pete (43), Celeste @flibberjibit (14), the Rascal (9), and me your very odd hostess Rebecca (39) ​

 

[Glittercat]

This pretending to be sad dude here is Pete! He's nearly always making faces at the me..err the camera. Pete grew up near Disneyland and went there many times. He prefers Disney World though by a long stretch. He's been my dear and wonderful husband for 16 years now. Pete is a comic book artist (penciller, inker, and now colorist as well!) and has worked for DC, Marvel, Legendary, and Dark Horse among others. He's my best friend, and I honestly thank the Universe for him every day! He's a big Doctor Who fan from way back! He enjoys Disney vacations as long as everything is paid for ahead of time. He's a fan of good food and can often be found in the kitchen cooking when not drawing pages! He has a killer sense of humor and likes to pretend to be grumpy, but really he's as goofy as the rest of us!
​

Favorite Park: EPCOT he also likes the beer in World Showcase!
Favorite Rides: Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Favorite Characters: Pepe the King Prawn (Muppets)
Favorite Disney Movies: Pete's Dragon, and the Marvel and Star Wars franchises
Favorite Cuisines: Thai and Indian

This smiling lass is Ms. C., Celestey, Celeste, and @flibberjibit who is currently a 9th grader. She was once my little moppet and is now my tall lovely moonbeam! Celeste reads just about everything but seems to prefer the classics. She's now branching out and becoming a Shakespeare fan currently on Macbeth, she's also reading the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, has started 1984, and enjoys horror as well. She has waist length ringlets and is also a pretty sharp shooter in archery.

This child does not like to wake up for anyone, even at Disney. After struggling to get her up last time in the mornings she was threatened with being woken with a cold glass of water she had best heed my warning! *grin*
​

Favorite Park: EPCOT She says she likes it most because of the World Showcase pavilions of other countries, but especially China and Japan.
Favorite Rides: Star Tours, Test Track (the old one as we've not been on the new), and she's looking forward to the mine carts! ​

Favorite Princesses: (in order) 1st Merida, 2nd Mulan, Belle and Tiana tie for 3rd place
Favorite Disney Movie: Brave, Avengers, & Into the Woods

Favorite Cuisines: Japanese and Indian​

This goofy little sucker is Rascal my 3rd grader! He has other names but well...let's just say this one is the most fitting! He's my sunshine, Infinity monster, and a moody lil' fellow. He has an interest in language and can write a tiny bit in Chinese and Japanese. His favorite game is Infinity 2.0 but now that 3.0 has been announced that is his main topic of conversation. This photo is from March 30 this year and was our very first visit to Disneyland!
​

Favorite Park: he says all of them! *he was 5 when last we visited WDW
Favorite Rides: Star Tours, Tower of Terror, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Indiana Jones (DL), and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! *this last said with huge eyes!* also It's a Bug's Life, Muppet's 3D, and Soarin' lol enough.
Favorite Princess: Mulan

Well I can (just about) read and write in ENGLISH let alone anything else!
But isn't that the joy of being a parent? I think you would get on really well with my DM...not about me of course!

Hi! I'm Rebecca (& this is Hello Kitty) and I swear I'm usually a bit more smiley than this. I either look calm or totally deranged lol. *sigh* It's just the way my face is. I'm a Seahawks fan, love horror books, action movies, summer evenings with friends, camping, SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) video games, and SUNSHINE! I swim a lot -with my whole family- do some Kundalini yoga, I'm a painter, and am a Disney fanatic. This addiction is not getting any better with age!!!

I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Migraines, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, am in a wheelchair (hereby referred to as Wheels ) and allergies to onions & garlic *sniff I luvs garlic* that sometimes give me lovely red rashes right across my face. lol. I'll be 40 in July and often act about 5. I lost my mum to T-cell Non Hodgkins Lymphoma almost 2 years ago, this upcoming trip is a promise I made to her, and in honor of her memory. I miss and love her dearly.
