Let me begin by saying that this trip was a dream my husband and I had about 3 years ago. We were at Disney with our then 21 month old and 6 month old sons and kept saying how much better the trip would be if their grandparents were here. Knowing that there was no way his parents could afford the trip we set out a plan to save up for it. This later turned into inviting all of our brothers and sisters and their families along too.
Now that I have given the background, I can make introductions!
Samantha-The trip planner/overplanner!
Matt-My husband and secondary trip planner
Ryan-Our 4 year old son with PDD-NOS
Zachary-Our very hyper 3 year old
Aidan-Our currently 9 month old son that is trying to be like Zachary!
Grandma M-My mom
Pappy-My dad
Grandma R-DH's mom
Pap-DH's dad
Dennis-DH's brother
Marie-SIL, married to Dennis
Lacey-Dennis and Marie's 6 yr old
Michael-Dennis and Marie's 3 yr. old
Milan-DH's other brother
Kim-SIL, married to Milan
Angel-My sister
Mike-BIL, married to Angel
Nick-Angel and Mike's 9 yr old
Joey-Angel and Mike's 9 yr old
Dee-DH's aunt/godmother
Tom-DH's uncle/godfather
So that should be 21 in all! We choose Jan 15-22, 2011 for our trip b/c we had been on a schedule of going to WDW every 3 years. Since we went in Dec '07, our next scheduled trip would be for Dec '10, but we had decided to push it back a week or so due to some groups that we encountered while there. Then it occured to me that my 30th b-day was mid January 2011, and what better way to celebrate!
Everyone knew about the trip fairly early, I believe we had told them about 18-24 months in advance! And everyone was on board, but I don't think they took us seriously until I started making reservations!
I started researching everything and decided that we would stay at POP! Century in 6 rooms and everyone would get basic MYW 7 day tickets. Me being a slight overplanner and worrier though wanted the trip booked and was willing to do anything I could in January to get the trip booked! I then found out that 2011 prices do not come out till July/August and so I was stuck for a while....or was I?!??! I found an awesome surprise in January that helped me book our trip early and even upgrade! I'll share it next time though, b/c I have a meeting!
