Background:
Me
(42)- A closet Disney freak. Work for a major investment firm as a Service Manager in the Mid-Atlantic. I am also a NCAA Division 2 and Division 3 College Football Official on the East Coast and a HS Official in Maryland. I work hard and do not play golf or tennis. Besides work and family, football is my life. I work hard all year long and my football officiating avocation keeps me away from the family most weekends in the fall.
I take my two week vacation every year and one of those weeks always seems to be at Disney. So much so, that my DW(42) and I decided to take the plunge as DVC members (AKV) in 2008 during a surprise 15th anniversary trip. Thank you Frank Lopez for being our guide.
DW
(42)-Lisa, she also a closet Disney Freak. A social worker for a hospital in Baltimore, MD. The world's best wife and mother that anyone could have. She lets me do my football and becomes a single mother in the fall. You want to talk about someone who is unselfish and puts her kids and me first, look her name up in the dictionary. That is where you will find her name. She is my best friend and I do not know what I would do without her.
DD
(11)- My daughter, Allison, next to my wife, the best girl in the world. She is my pride and joy. She suffers from Crohn's Disease which while could be worse, is more of an annoyance than anything. (I know there are children who suffer from worse things and my prayers go out to those people) This annoyance took alot of her early years away from her because we did not get the proper diagnosis until 2006. With help from lots of meds and an ongoing infusion treatment, she lives a relatively health life.
Allison is about to complete 6th grade in a private Jewish day school where she is a solid B+ student and loves texting and calling here girlfriends to talk about boys and other stuff that 11 year old girls do.
Her auto-signature on her e-mails and text messages say: MICKEY LOVER.
DS
(8)- My son, Jordan. My buddy boy. He is your typical 8 year old boy. Loves WWE wrestling, playing his Nintendo DSI, Baseball, Football, Basketball and all things sports.
Very smart for an 8 year old, loves math and about to finish the 2nd grade in the same school as his sister.
The one thing we look forward to just about every year is our trip to "The Happiest Place on Earth." This year we have 5 days scheduled at Disney's BLT.
Then on the grandma's house in Delray Beach for a few days before heading back to Maryland to get ready for summer camp, and summer football for me.
Here is a quick run down of our trip:
June 13- Sunday- Fly into MCO and check into BLT, meet friends (co-worker based in Orlando and her family) for dinner at Downtown Disney.
June 14- Monday- Chef Mickey for breakfast- then to AK for the day.
June 15- Epcot/DHS- Linner at 50's Prime Time Cafe- evening at MK.
June 16- MK full day- My birthday dinner at Tony's Town Square Tavern.
June 17- Check out day- pick up the rental car for the drive to Delray Beach for our visit at my Mom's house.
I will continue out Pre-Trip report tomorrow.
