We have a scrumptious list of ADR's and are doing deluxe dining. We have a few play it by ear days and a few planned days. The girls have BBB appointments... we have tix for MNSHHP on the 16th. where we will dress up. Girls and Uncle Bobby are all Dorothy from age 5-96, the guys will be Mickey Chefs. We will be trying lots of new things like CRT and HDDR. I can not wait to get all the character pictures with Aunt Apple. Even at 96 she loves carnivals and twice this summer has been on the ferris weel at the fair!! She is going to have so much fun!!

I am almost completely packed...only have 2 suitcases left to put in the van. Now we just have to wait for this week to pass!! WWOOOHHHOOOO!!

I cannot even begin to imagine the amount of planning that went into this trip! Good luck and have fun!

How cool is that about your Aunt Apple?? I hope she has a great time.

What a wonderful big group you are vacationing with. One year when I went to MNSSHP there was a huge family group that came dressed as all Cruellas and dalmation puppies. That was really fun to see all the different heights to the same basic costume. Your group should be a lot of fun to see as well. :thumbsup:

Good luck getting through this last torturous week, safe travels, and have fun!! :mickey:

Sounds like a fantastic trip!

How cool that Aunt Apple is up to going to WDW at 96. I sure hope that I am at that age!!

HDDR will be a blast with a large group. We went just the four of us and commented on how much fun it would be going with a group of friends/family.

Enjoy your trip!! We will look forward to a report when you return!
