The last time we were in Disney World was in November of 2001. We havent been in awhile as you can see because we had to take care of my sick Mother-In-Law, who died May 31 of this year at the age of 90.

We planned a trip for April 14-May 5th so we werent planning this trip until the writers strike happened. We are avid Saturday Night Live fans who always go to the show as audience members but because of the strike there would be no show for awhile. My husband surprised me with a Christmas Disney Trip two weeks ago so you can imagine what we had to go through to get hotel rooms & ADRs but in the end its worked out well so far.

We havent told all of our family or friends about the trip. Im surprising them with Christmas Cards & presents from Disney. Only a few people know.

Cast: Louis-My husband who will be 60 on Dec 29th. Me- 31 who loves Peter Pan & hopes to meet him.
