The countdown is on! 9 days 3 hours 45 min.... till we leave to head back to the world!!! Now seeing that we just visited the first week of June this trip came in to the picture quite unexpectadly.. let me explain 
We've been to disney countless times.... got married there .. the whole 9 yards... Even since moving to TX we still manage to go on a regular basis Well we went in June witht he expectaion it would be a few years till we go back. Wanting to move this year then we want to go to Washington DC the next year so thought it would be awhile ....
Until Sept... We have a family tradition of who ever birthday it is they get to pick where we go to dinner... my son Walker (4) kept saying for my next birthday (in march) I want to go to pizza planet (DHS) we didnt go last time and he really really wanted to.. So got me thinking.. his birthday is right on spring break.. could we do it?? Well.... it jsut wouldnt work out.. my one duaghter is a level 9 gymnast and the other in her high school colorguard and they both have state finals the third week of march.. that just wouldnt be good to miss a week of practice before that... so our next best date would be Christmas...
SO let the planning begin ... I am a teacher by day but own a gymnastics leotard side business in the evenings/weekends to help support the fees of gymnastics so I said if I can make enough money to pay for christmas this year we will go.. a week later I got one order alone for over 1000$ profit... yep it was happening we were going to Disney again..
Always for many many years we always stay on property... but in June we stayed at the double tree suites.. a family of five... is just hard without paying the expensive amounts for a suite or something (even though our plan is the next time we go we will be staying someplace wonderful in a suite on property.. i hope well anyway doubletree was still really pricy for the christmas time of the year.. so we settled with the homewood suites we got it for 100$ a night who can beat that!!! Next we booked a rental car.. got a minivan rental all set up and now we are comitted LOL
The dates: 12/27 leave around 1 (after gymnastics) drive half way...
12/28 : drive the rest get to the area about mid afternoon. check in then head to down town disney
12/29 Magic kingdom
12/30 DHS (PIZZA Planet here we come)
12/31 Epcot
12/1 drive home...
Now I know I know.. it will be fast and furious.. it will be busy but thats ok. since we were just there in June it should all be fine we have done holdiays many many times at Disney..
The next exciting news is we are suprising the kids!! I have never ever been able to keep a trip quiet. so we are getting our mickey balloons inflated and put into a box with a sign that says we are going to dsiney world that the kiddos will open on Xmas morning... Excited!!
So whose going
Me of course
My hubby (who is also a secret disney fanatic..)
My daughter Rayne (14)
My daughte rCherish (10)
My son Walker (4.5)-- who will be over the top happy to go to pizza planet and who is so cool because he went on all the rides he was tall enough for (thunder moutnain, splash mountain etc and was so brave and can't wait to go on them again...) after two girls who have been chicken and are just starting to like those rides its exciting to have a little one like those types of rides..
So here we go BAck to DIsney!!
