Vacations......who's in your party?

[nutmegg]

November 07 was the first trip I made with my GF. It was also her first trip ever to Disney! Along with us was my 6yr old niece and my mother. It was a fun time, but we were so tired by the end of the day we didnt want to go out and explore DTD or PI. All my previous trips were always with my mother and brother. This year will be my first trip without going with mom. My GF and I are traveling down with two of our friends so we are planning on hitting the parks as well as enjoying our downtime and hitting a few bars.

I've taken just my kiddo and I. I've taken friends. And I've taken my mother.

This next trip is a mom/son trip.

My gf doesn't like Disney.

My gf doesn't like Disney.

Do we need to help you do an intervention with her?

For WDW, it's always been us and our 2 kids (who are now adults but still insist on joining us). We meet FL friends for part of the trip, but I'm a little too Disney hyper for our friendship to make it through an entire trip together.
Last year was the first year we did DLR w/o the kids and the first year the kids went w/o us . We also went together a couple of times, and that all worked out well. What chaps my hide is, the kids refuse to get up and into the parks until after 11 a.m. when we all go together. When it was just the two of them - rope drop every dang day!

I've been with: just my parents, my parents and one brother, my parents and all three brothers, but this time me and my DGF are going together for her first trip
I think it'll be very odd going without my family, especially on a 9 hour flight and for two weeks - I'm envisaging something going wrong already

The past few times we've gone, it's been me and Lily as a couple. Before that we've had anywere from my entire 8 person family. That includes a 3 year old and the oldest being 65 and everything in between. The next trip we take will be the biggest yet because in January we are having a commitment ceremony and my immediate family plus a few and Lily's immediate family will all be there.
So I guess my answer is...anywhere from me and Lily to everyone!

Congratulations! I hope it all goes swimmingly.

So, it's official, we all march to our own drummer's beat around here and at WDW. That's kind of cool.

I didn't realize there were so many people here that travelled solo and that there were so many people that traveled with friends and extended family.

November 15-20th.... pick your day

And Lucas too?

Anyone want to chip in on a day of Beauty for Beth while we take Julia and Jarod on the trip of their lives?

I'm jealous!

Maybe we'll have foster kids by then...maybe we'll even be able to get permission to take them to the US....

But, if you ever decide to vacation in Canada, I'd love to get in on the "spend an afternoon with Jared, Julia and Lucas" event.


Oh...I forgot the point to this thread....
Most of my wdw trips have been with my DW.

We took one trip with a close friend, her 18 month old and her DH (he was there half the time). The same friend came to join us for 2 days during our trip last Sept. since she was in FL at the same time.

We took one trip with all of my DW's family and we've talked about travelling with my family members, but, most of them don't seem interested.
