Thanksgiving Family Reunion

I just returned from our latest Disney Trip and thought I would share it with you because I know how much I enjoy reading about others trips.

This is a family reniuon that consists of my two brothers, two sisters, and parents. It also includes their spouses and families so there was 24 of us all together. I went with my DW, with two DS. My DD flew from college to Orlando on Tuesday night because she had classes.

We left on Friday, November 19th at 6:00pm from Lancaster PA and we are driving on 95 straight through. It was a long trip and we arrived to our condo on Saturday at 11:30 very tired. I drove all but 2 hours of the trip. My DS drove from 3:00am to 5:00am while I tried to sleep. Didn't get much because I was nervous about having my 17 year old drive but he wanted to do his part. We were stuffed into a Chevy Blazer with not a whole lot of room to move about. It would be worse on the drive home because we would have my daughter.

We each had 4 day passes to WDW. We also had three days of passes to Universal. My brothers family and I decided to do MGM on Sunday. That is my favorite park so I was up for it. We got up and had breakfast in the condo. We had trouble getting the 14 year old niece out of bed so it was a late start. I hate getting started late but you have to compromise with 9 people. We ended up having to meet my brother and his family almost every morning because we wanted to get started early and we had trouble with his two getting out of bed. After getting coffee and snacks in the park, we were off and running. We got a fast pass for Aerosmith and went onto Tower of Terror. Both of these are favs of mine. We did Millionaire and some other things after that. We had Linner at 50's cafe at 2:45. We met my other brother, his wife, and his 6 year old Samantha for dinner. The cast member who served us was very funny and great. Everytime Samantha would get down from her chair, he would say "Samantha -get back in your chair". She would go running back to her seat and say "How does he know my name" We were laughing so hard. We the did some other things including Indiana Jones. We ended it with a great show at Phantasmic. My one brother had never see this show and he loved it.


It was a great start to our Disney Vacation. I will finish this up in other installments as it is time to get back to work and the piles that were created while I was gone.

Later all.
