Hi, Disney Lovers!
It's me, Stacey, back for another play by play of my next vacation to Walt Disney World. I haven't even made the announcement that about two months ago my mom and I booked our very first Mother/Daughter trip. Now, some of you may remember reading my honeymoon TR last year and my anniversary TR just this May. This time, i'm leaving DH behind and flying to the happiest place in the world with the best mom in the world.
The Cast
Me, Stacey - 20
Mom, Nancy - 61
We fly out of Detroit on Sunday, September 14th and come back home (sadly) Friday, September 19th.
It's our first time staying at any resort other than Pop. Caribbean Beach sort of fell into our laps due to very late decision making. I'm quite excited to lay in a hammock on the beach. :)

Now, for a little history lesson. My mom is most definitely my best girlfriend. She's always been there for me and even though i'm grown, married, and out of the house, she's still the person I run to when things get rough. A month before my seventh birthday my dad passed away from cancer. Ever since then, it's just been my mom and I. One my dad's dreams for me was to take me to Disney World. When I was 9, my mom scrounged up enough money to make that dream possible for me. It was the most amazing trip. Since then, we've been two more times together with our last trip being in 2005. She hasn't even had one tiny little vacation since then. Not even a day off. This girl is due! It's a very big deal for us to go together for 5 days. Just us... and Mickey!:mickey:
Our agenda is to do anything and everything my mom wants. I was just there in May and I covered everything then... this trip is for mom. She's not big into thrill rides so I have about 5 things i'll be doing solo. No big deal. Okay, let's cover some facts...
Mom: Loves Splash Mountain, anything that sings and dances, steak, and being a goofball.
Stacey: Loves Splash Mountain as well, anything that sings and dances, fish, and talking to random cast members.
Of course, we are on the DDP (free) and have picked some restaurants that will both suit my mom and I. Our list includes Shutters, Coral Reef, Cape May Cafe, Teppan Edo, 'Ohana, and Sci-Fi. Most of them were at moms request. Except for Cape May... which was my one requirement. We are super excited to stuff our faces full of food that will make us gain 5 pounds by the time we're back in Michigan.
With only a few days to go until we fly out, it's finally setting in that we're going to DISNEY WORLD. The only thing i'm nervous about is the Detroit airport. I've never flown out of Detroit before and i'm not sure of how to get around there. Normally I have my rock, Matt, with me, but this time it's just us girls and my mom really is clueless to anything involving travel details. I have to show her what I can do I suppose. Eeeeek. The thought of it makes me a little sick. haha.:sick:
That's it for me until we get back! Don't worry, i'll have tons of pictures as usual for you all to enjoy. Wish my mom and I luck!!
