As I said in an earlier post, it finally hit me that in 1 month we head off to WDW.
Spawn of Sukie (the Sukrette) finally sent me their flight info, which I phoned into DVC yesterday for Magical Express. I just hope the documents arrive here with enough lead time for me to forward them on to the UK.
There are going to be 5 of us on this trip. Me and Hisselfness, Spawn of Sukie, The grandson, who's now 10 years old, and Spawn's best mate, Carmel, a Liverpudlian, who was of phenomenal help when Hisselfness's mother passed away and there was so much logistics to organize over in Blighty.
My role in all this is the poor put upon husband, but primarily chauffeur as I drive them around WDW, and from attraction to attraction in Orlando. The third key role I serve is being the voice of reason and sanity. As one might expect of the Spawn of Sukie and the grandson, the apples have not fallen very far from the proverbial tree.
I did finally get in gear and make 2 dinner reservations yesterday, one for Boma, an Eastwood Manor tradition and one for the Kona Cafe, which also seems to be becoming an Eastwood Manor tradition.
We are staying in a 2-bedroom lock-off at Old Key West. Hisselfness always insists on a lock-off as he like the comfort of knowing that there isn't a chance of someone barging in on us when we are running around in just our tighty whities, or perhaps even less.
I'm hoping we get the canal view room that we requested. We had one for our last stay at OKW and it was really fab.
I'm not quite sure exactly how I feel about a fortnight family holiday. Obviously, since Hisselfness and I have been together for over 23 years, I have known the Spawn for a long time, and we have had long family holidays before.
In fact, one of the reasons I bought into DCV was so we could afford to have long family holidays, but as they say, "Be careful what you wish for."
The last time I saw the grandson was when he was 7 years old. He's now 10, and I'm sure going through a new insufferable phase.
Hisselfness told me yesterday that he spoke to the Spawn, and she said that the grandson has kicked it up a notch and is driving her crazy with his endless chatter about the upcoming holiday.
Severs her right, because she has driven me nuts with endless notes about details for the holiday.
Still, I suppose that it's nice that everyone is getting excited. It's nice for them.
As for me, I am preparing myself for a fortnight in a lunatic asylum. An asylum with rides.
