Crazy, right?! I always figured most people don't want to read about our family vacation, but I really enjoy reading everyone else's. Also, this trip which has just come together so miraculously, so I feel like I want to memorialize it!
So both feet in, here we go!!
Who? Immediately, it will be:
Me!
DH!
B! DD8
E! DS7
J! DD5
We are a So Cal family, where the weather rarely gets above 80. We usually have Disneyland APs, and make it down at least once a month, but in the interest of saving money for our trip this summer, I let the passes lapse last month (AND IT IS KILLING ME!!!)
also will be my mom and dad (who were born the same year as Disneyland, so I'll let you do the math!)
Plus my sister's family, made up of:
Sisier
BIL
Nephew- 14
Niece- 12
Nephew- 4
Nephew- almost 3
Niece- 1.5
They live in Pensacola, and have recently adopted the 4 year old nephew, and I can't wait to meet him, and my youngest niece, who I also haven't met since we live 3000 miles apart.
AND, I recently found out- COMPLETELY serendipitous, one of my cousins is also vacationing there at the same time with her family of 4! CRAZY!!!
When?
Call me crazy, but the last week of July. I know. I know. Why not vacation directly on the sun? We couldn't find an avaliable sweat lodge?
Where?
Fort Wilderness Cabins! (first time!) I've always stayed values, until the first time I tried SOG... then I was in love. But with the awesome military discount by Disney this year, I called to see what would be cheaper- two cabins or three rooms at SOG. Amazingly, the two cabins would only be $70 more total for our 6 night stay, so we are trying something new! yay! I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Fort Wilderness!
Why?
This is so strange. So... my bestie is stationed in Spain right now, and she was planning on coming back stateside to WDW this summer for a family vacation, and so we were planning on going together. So she wanted to know if we would want to meet them there. (DUH!!!) So I let my mom and sister know, so maybe they could meet us there while I am meeting J there!
Then last fall my dad had some pretty bad health scares, and I hated being all the way out here, but I knew he was in good hands there. (my sister is the head nurse on the cardiac floor!)So I decided that we were DEFINATELY coming to visit this summer. i wanted to see my parents, and meet my sister's kids!
So, it didn't work out for J to come back this summer, so I asked my mom and sister, and they said thats OK, WDW is still on! So here we come!
Next up...
What do you think of my itinerary?
