The Big 40 .. Pre Trip Report

[Sam&Alex&Josh'sMOM]

Cast
Me . Trish, Turning 40 during the trip

DH Shaun 40, Wishes there was more Star Wars and Superheroes in the parks,,, but still smiles when his kids wave at the dolls on IASW and gets goofy for Goofy

DD1 Sammy(8), gamour girl fashionista

DD2 Alex(6) (well almost 6) dark sense of humor, her favorite ride is Tower of Terror.

DS Josh (2) VERY 2, Everything about him is 2! He is loud and loveable and brings smiles to everyone he meets, unless he is being loud and cranky. Then LOOK OUT! Also he calls his sister's MiMi (Sammy) and Lai Lai (Alex) Not sure how he came up with them... it just is. He is in love ith all things R2D2 (tho he calls it D2D2)

DM Claire 60+ Staying for the first part of the trip. Her main reason for coming is to see all the resorts dressed up for the holidays. She is our daycare all year long, and is NOT here to watch the kids. She is here for her vacation adn to meet up with us for dinners here and there. (probably sounds harsh... but really we live 1/2 mile apart... she has been to the parks with the kids before... and she sees them every day. She needs this break, and wanted to see the resorts, so we said "tag along, and do your own thing..." and she was game. She will meet up for a few dinners.

Staying at Boardwalk Villas, Renting Points. We (the 5 of us ) have a studio (yes its tight but Josh is under 3 and it can be done) and Mom has her own studio...

We are staying 11/28-12/7. (Mom goes home on 12/3) We have 10 day park hopper and meal plan.

We planned for
Chef Mickey (D)
Hoop De Doo
O'Hana (for my bday dinner)
Sanna (D)
Sci Fi (D)
holly wood and Vine (B)
Tusker House (L)
Askerhouse (L)
Crystal Palace (D)
T-Rex (D)

Wish us luck for the weather! So far it is supposed to be between 73-78 the whole time we are there. Will report back!

Enjoy your trip, Trish! Sounds like lots of fun for everyone including your mom who gets to do her own thing and still enjoy family moments as well!

I keep packing and repacking. I know we are terribly overpacked... but the weather... oh the weather... we have everything from t's and shorts to sweatshirts and long pants (and no doubt it will all be worn each day ) For the first time I am glad we will have strollers to hold the bags of stuff! Shaun has bronchitis. Sammy is getting over a pre-pneumonia so I even packed the nubulizer... He is still hacking (and always get sicker after a flight) so I am not taking any chances! Gotta get up about 5 am to leave at 6am for a 7:40 flight!
