DD-15
DS-8
DD-5(almost 6)

This trip was fun but boy did I learn alot. I will try and dig into my TR soon. I will give you some highlights though:

1). We (well the other people in my party) WON A DREAM!!!!! (more to come on that)
2) DD#2 had her dream trip:for the first time EVER she was not afraid of the characters!! YAYYYYY!!! Thank you CP for your help with her birthday.(more to come on that also)
3). First time rides for DD#2 and DS.
4). Absolutley beautiful weather.
5). You know that phrase "The more the merrier", well that isn't always true.



I hope to have pics if I can get my DD to help me with them. Oh and by the way Beaches has the best ice cream ever!

Waiting to hear!

Your daughter got to bring her boyfriend??? She's so lucky.... I'm pretty sure my parents would never go for that.

Just curious... where did he sleep?

[mousemom]

Well, we had two seperate resorts. One resorts were the boys(thats where the boyfriends slept) and they other one was the girls. My daughters boyfriend and my niece's boyfriend were 2 of the 16 that were with us. They are good kids and have been with us(I mean Bf and Gf"s for a year) for awhile. I do keep all eyes on him(my daughters) and we talk ALOT about my expectations and what is expected of them(and him). If they do not obey,all is can say is oh boy,you don't want to know.

[LittleMissMagic]

Ah... seperate resorts! That's the way to go!

[disneylovers5]

yeah TR can't wait

[Prezcatz]

Wow, separate resorts. That must have been hard to coordinate meetings, but I guess it did give you some SPACE frin each other.

Ok, here we go!


Day 1

Sunday we leave about 9:45am. We drive to about Gainsville and stop at a rest stop and picnic for lunch. Then we stop at the last turnpike rest stop jst before the I-4 exit and stretch our legs all the way to the Starbucks counter for a cup of coffee. That is a must before we get going again.
We arrive at our resort around 3:00 or so. Check in went quick and easy. We got a 2nd floor room which was nice. Our room was very nice and very big. It had plenty of space for all of us. It was a 3 bedroom with all the fixins. We unpacked the vans and put stuff away. That alone was a chore. After settling in, me and my 2 children went to the really small pool just for a bit while may brother cooked our taco and fajita dinner. We swam for about 40 minutes, then went in for dinner.
After dinner we all drove over to BWV for a nice relaxing stroll on the boardwalk. It was nice and relaxing too. It was a great temperature with a slight breeze. Just perfect. Then we took the boat to BC and walked to Beaches for an ice cream. They have the best ice cream. Everyone like their ice cream. It was just so nice to sit out in the night time and chill out. We started walking back to the boat to take us to BW when we began to hear and see Epcots fireworks. Wow, that was spectacular! We stop on that little bridge and just watched while my son took a few pictures. He is hoping they came out.
My mom was having a hard time keeping up with us( her knees do not do so well because she had a double knee replacement a few years ago and couple that with extra weight and not used to so much walking) which showed up throughout the whole trip. That was something that I did fear would happen. We eventually made it back to our resort in one piece and called it a night.

Day 2 will be about our day in HS. I will post more soon. I am hoping I will have pics soon. Bye!
