We're Going to Disney World!!

I am so excited!!! After almost 7 years, and a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) hints, suggestions, and pleading, we're finally going to Disney World!! I make it sound like Jeff didn't want to go, but that's not really true. He did want to go, but he never thought that a big vacation was the thing to spend our money on (and he was right) and that our kids were too little (which was also right).

But now Jarom is 6, Taran is 4 1/2 and Kelcey is 2 1/2. Everyone can walk, if they want to (but we'll be taking the double stroller, believe me!) everyone can eat the same food, everyone has basically the same sleep schedule. Most importantly, everyone LOVES Disney movies and characters.

When we got our "economic stimulus check" last May, we weighed the different options: We could invest it, we could re-carpet our bedroom, or we could make some memories. And my wonderful husband and I decided that we should make some memories. So we did our part to help America's economy and spent the check on a vacation to Disney World, and airfare. We only had to pay about $200 of our own money, so woo hoo!

Our flight is tomorrow morning at 6:55, which means that we need to be at the terminal at 6:00, which means that with dropping off the car at long term parking we need to leave at 5:00 (we live about 30 minutes from the airport), which means that even if we all take our showers the night before, we have to get up before 4:30! AM!! But it's worth it, because we should get to Walt Disney World at about 10:00 or so, and after we check in, we can probably get to the park around 11:00 or 11:30. I AM SO EXCITED!! I can't believe we 're actually going! TOMORROW!!!

We're going to be there for 4 days (Wed., Thurs., Fri., Sat.,), and we've got a lot of fun things planned. Like the second day we're there we are going to have a "character breakfast" with Winnie the Pooh and friends, and another day we're going to have a "character dinner buffet" with Cinderella and the other princesses. Taran is just going to freak out. :o) And I just can not wait to see the kids faces when we go into the Magic Kingdom and we see the Castle for the first time!

I will have details and pictures when we come back, which I will post sometime next week, after we've recovered. :o) See ya later! We're outta here!
