Ahhh... Vacation is on the horizon...
You know, Ben and I have been to DisneyWorld 10 times. Yes, we are freaks. But we found each other with our Disney freakiness, which is a good thing.
Thursday afternoon, we head back for trip #11. My brother, his wife, and his 2 kids - ages 20 and 14, will be there on Friday night. Their first trip.
So...our 11th trip. I AM SO EXCITED I CAN HARDLY STAND IT! We always have so much fun. It's hard for Ben and me to decide what we should drag them to. We will only be there for about 3-1/2 days in reality, so we are having to choose "highlights" for them to see. Do we ride Space Mountain twice, or do we get a fastpass for Splash Mountain? Do we see the new motor cars show at MGM or go to Epcot for the new ride in Mexico featuring Donald Duck? Will we have time to go to one of our favorite eateries - the Earl of Sandwich? The safari at Animal Kingdom? Visit Comedy Warehouse at Downtown Disney? Ah, the choices.
We kind of cheated. We are getting there Thursday night because we used American miles - and that was the only time we could go. Texas is playing football in Orlando this Saturday. Flights are scarce. Anyway, we get in Thursday night. We have all day Friday & Friday night to do other stuff. Ben's Mom is in Tampa, so we want to go see her. Well... it just so happens the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is premiering Friday night. The park is all dressed up for Halloween, you can trick or treat, they have a special spooky parade, and only people with a party ticket can attend. Magic Kingdom will be open til past midnight. Yep. We got tickets. It is supposed to rain that night - so hopefully that will scare more than a few people off. We could get off of Space Mountain and get right back on!!!! A dream come true, I tell you.
I don't know if we will ever get tired of going to Disney World. We weren't going to go this year, but my brother mentioned they were interested but only if we went with them. That was all I needed! heh heh We told them all they have to do is show up, we'll handle the schedule.
I have my UT crocs all ready to go, as well as 6 Longhorn ponchos since I'm sure it will rain every day. Part of us being able to go was the price. It's hurricane season. Prices are about half! I can handle the rain.
So - next post will either be from Disney World or during the post vacation blues.
Elway is going to Dog Boys Ranch because he is rotten. And his favorite Auntie Mo has agreed to not only pick him up for us so he is home when we get home, but to cook for him too! Thanks Zogie!!!
** Plus I want to add a note - a shout out to Paul and Malia... CONGRATULATIONS! Ben and I will either be an aunt or an uncle some time this spring! :-) **
