WHO:
As mentioned in the title this is the first time the trip will include 6 people
So we are a perfect fit for Test Track - no stranger danger!!!
Me: For those who do not know me I have been a member here since 2008 but I lurked for quite a few years before (probably started in 2003) This is lucky 13 for WDW and 28 Disney park visit in total. I have been lucky enough to go to all 6 Disney resorts (thank you Toyota) and my first trip was a 3 day pass to Magic Kingdom in Florida in 1979. I was 13 - do the math - yes, I am old
And as most know - I AM CANADIAN!!! - I am sorry if that was too loud.
The name thing? - AMJT660 is my licence plate - Max is my nickname from University (from Maxwell), Drew is what most people call me, Andrew is my given name from my mother and Clarence is my given name from Roz (at Monsters Inc ride in Disneyland)

Most looking forward to : Pandora and Flight of Passage
Tricia (T- Mom and DW)- She is a saint for putting up with me for 31 years - 27 of those being married. This is her 14th trip to WDW and 25 overall. She has been to Anaheim and Paris - well I sort of dragged her to the Paris one - she did not want to leave the city of lights at all.
Not a lot of single pictures of Tricia - she loves having here family together

Cassie (DD21) Cassie is hard core - everything!! She is extremely driven at school (finishing up 3rd year at Biomedical Engineering at U of Waterloo). She is also most like me at the parks - if I am the Jedi Master she is my padawan - and her skills will soon pass mine!!
She did all the ADR and FP+ bookings (IT Level 2!)
She is also going to WDW for the 10th time and when you add the 10 DLR and 1 DLP visits she too will be at 21 Disney trips.

Shane - Cassie and Shane have been dating for just under two years. He goes to college near where we live and studies Computer Programming. But we have known Shane for a long time. Cassie and Shane were in the same Grade 1 class. He continued to be in the same school and classes with her up to Grade 8 when his family moved to the other end of our tri cities and they lost touch.
But here is the cool thing - Shane has had a crush on Cassie since Grade 1!! They reconnected around Cassie's Bday on FB and started dated. The crush never went away!
This is Shane back in grade school
