Oh my, where to begin? For some reason I've never been very good at starting these things so I'll just dive right in, no pun intended!
I guess introductions are in order! I'm a widowed mom to three wonderful adult sons ages 20, 23 and 25 and yes, they all still live at home. We've always loved Disney and live a mere 15 minutes away from DLR. We were first bit by the WDW back in '04. It was an amazing family vacation and on the plane ride home we were already planning our next trip! We've been DVC members since '08 and many amazing memories from our visits.
My eldest son is 25 and has a love and talent for Disney animation. The kid demonstrated a talent for art practically as soon as he could pick up a crayon. Don't know where he got it from because I can barely draw stick figures.
My middle kid 22 is a huge Mickey fan and has quite a collection of stuffed Mickeys. Although all three of my kids love Disney, I think he'd go to WDW every year for vacation if I'd agree to it!
My youngest is the baby at age 20 and will be just shy of his 21st birthday when we go on our cruise. Oh he'd love it if he knew I was referring to him as "the baby" on a discussion forum! He's also a Disney fan albeit a little more cynical than the other two. He'd love for me to share with you that his favorite character is Pooh!
Next on the list is my little sister. We are 12 years apart and I love her to pieces! She's been able to join me on two WDW trips and in June '12 she went on her first Disney cruise with me, actually first ever cruise and we had awesome sister bonding time just the two of us!
My sis has two beautiful children, a boy and girl My niece is 6 years old and the ultimate princess and auntie (me) loves to indulge her in all things princess-y since I don't have any daughters. My nephew is 4 and is the sweetest little guy you'd ever want to meet and adores his auntie. My sister's hubby is an awesome uncle to my sons and a blast to hang with.
In addition to my sister's family, my SIL who lives in South Carolina will also be joining us. Her little family includes her hubby and my 12 year old niece. A few years ago they moved away from California so we miss them terribly. We try to vacation together as much as possible and are looking forward to seeing each other again in less than two weeks!
This will be a very special trip - for one it's a family reunion of sorts and both couples will also be celebrating their 15h wedding anniversary.
I think that's about enough for now but I'll leave you with a few pictures of my family before saying goodnight!
