Awww...cute about Hunter and Emily! Except Michelle might fight me for Hunter, you know? He is already promised to Samantha, remember?
Yeah - Samantha might get jealous! 
) I'm gonna spare everyone (mostly me) from the scary 1980's pictures and even the old 1970's pictures but if you are really dying to see them again they are in my other report from last year. 
We visited MGM on our first park day, then MK on our 2nd park day (with my sister, BIL, and nieces) and on our 3rd day we went to Epcot and then hopped over to the MK. It was a great trip and it really "set off" something inside of me! The Disney obsession was born. Here are some pics of that trip!
However, it was always lingering in the back of my mind...waiting for that perfect opportunity to pop up and smack me across the face and say..."WHY AREN"T YOU VISITING DISNEY EVERY CHANCE YOU GET?" Silly, silly woman! 
We tried to carry on that week, doing what we could, in whatever groups that were able...sometimes it was just 3 of us, sometimes the whole group was able to go...it varied. Here are some of my favorite pics of that trip, but it was sad, because at the end of the week, we were ready to go home....I mean, who is EVER ready to go home from Disney? Try cleaning up puke every time you turn around, or having to have big plastic ziploc bags in your possession at all times....just in case...and having to use said bags A LOT!!! 
You'd be ready to get home, too. Crazy thing though...once we were home...no one got sick again! Ugh! We did have some nice moments though...CRT on our first day, the guys did Dive Quest for the first time, The Cookie thing at Epcot was a lot of fun for the kids, we rode Soarin for the 1st time, had great weather...If nothing else, it made me long to go back and right those wrongs, so to speak! 
Love the report so far - can't wait to read more! You are a really great writer.
Thanks for finding me and following along! Are you gonna start one anytime soon? Pretty please.....
Sam and I were talking the other night about maybe someday all going to Disney together with our families - she wanted to know if the kids could all walk around by themselves!
It's nice to see pictures of Michael and your nieces when they were so young! Cute!
Sorry you had such a rotton trip that January. At least it didn't stop you from going back and trying again! The pictures from that trip are great - you don't look miserable at all!
Hey! Joining in now!
Are we there at the same time? I think we overlap a bit! Not too far now! Subbing!
My mother has never been to Disney World before. It's been a rough summer for us, my 45 yo brother passed away, and we are all missing him desperately! DH can't go because of work
Can't wait to hear more!
Thanks! Welcome! I have lurked on your trip report (just found it recently, so I haven't posted). I love that you and your hubby met at Disney! That's so sweet!

I'm finding quite a few dISsers who are going to be there during that time now!!! Its going to be so much fun!Can't wait to hear more! So glad your honey surprised you. I'm glad to hear you say you prefer offsite....someday I may have to try it. I would love the info on Windsor Hills.
I just booked a last minute trip for me and twin 9 yo dd's and my mom. The girls no nothing about it, and hopefully they won't until we arrive at the airport....I think they are going to flip.
Take care,
Jeanette
I found you!
I have been known to need a smack up side the head to know what is going on. Some have been known to let a smoke stack go, in hopes of me finding my way. Non the less... I found you and boy was I surprised (and jealous) that you are going in OCT... then DEC. ?!?!?!
I love the family pictures. To reminisce of trips in the past... days gone by. Disney days gone by. Sad. But super fun!
Can't wait to hear more about this great trip!
Yes, I am counting my lucky stars that I am going on this trip! It really wasn't anything planned at all. At least not out loud! I was utterly shocked when Shawn surprised me with his answer! 
) Poor baby! Yep We dont leave til the 14th.
I love seeing my husband with his children in a way that I just don't get to see at home - complete abandon of inhibitions, living in the moment with his kids. So joyful! So un-stressed! He always seems to be having the time of his life with his son and his two little girls, and that's what I love the most...the freedom for all of us to just be with each other...as a family...at a time when it seems the world wants you to do everything EXCEPT just be together...as a family. Between school and work, soccer and ballet, birthday parties, church activities, etc, etc its nice to just get away and enjoy being US! An escape, if you will.
I friggin' love the Golden Girls! The nerve of Disney! Is your plan to see the first one and then hightail it over to Sci-fi? Or eat and then hightail it over to the second F? You could always check in early at lunch (say 11:00) and see if they have an opening and then just eat CS for dinner. Sci-Fi is so fun! It's just so "Disney" to me!
Okey dokey..I'm gonna post a short little synopsis of our Thanksgiving trip from last year, as my entire trip report is in my signature and you are free to read it if you so desire....eh...just read this and you'll be all caught up!
There were 16 of us! It was mostly magical! No one got sick! We had a lovely Thanksgiving! My sister doesn't like to plan! We used TGM to great success! I wanted to go back the minute I got home!
That's it in a nutshell!
I'll post some pics later!
Thanks for reading!
Sara
That is the shortest recap ever! Seriously, if any of you haven't read the Thanksgiving report, you should - it's really good!
I could have saved you all a lot of time if I had just come back and posted that kind of recap, huh? But no....I thought I'd take 6 months of your lives by dragging it out as best I could! Mwhaaaa...
