Hello all ! A newish member here that has lurked for quite a while and posted a few times. I have enjoyed all of the pre-trip and trip reports and thought I might as well add my own over the next year as we prepare for our two granddaughters first ever visit in July 2022. I am sure it will not be as detailed and nice as most on here but I will give it a go........ be kind. HAHA
We have been to Disney a few times over the last 10 years or so and actually I have been twice in the past year. We went for our 20th wedding anniversary in November 2020 (I will post a few pics below) and when we decided to take our daughter, son in law and granddaughter to the beach in May, I made the executive decision to take our youngest son to Disney for a couple of days since he had never been to Galaxy's Edge or any of that. So that one was just a guys trip (A few pics below)
Fast forward to now and we have decided to take our 2 granddaughters for their first ever trip. We got the necessary approvals from the kids and we are now booked at Caribbean Beach for July 2022. The countdown has begun. We decided to hold off telling them because they really have no idea of time and we felt telling them this early might be a bit of a letdown. We did decide to make it a cool surprise for our oldest and I have begun sending her little gifts as hints. She does not know they are from us. The plan is to get her a Disney suitcase and stuff it full of all kinds of things she will need for the trip. That will be her Christmas gift and we will reveal the surprise then. We are waiting to see how to best break the news
So here are the ones involved. Jimmy and Linda (married almost 21 years from Waxahachie, Texas), Harley (10 years old from Houston), and Caroline (6 years old from Atlanta)
Jimmy and Linda on our anniversary trip
Linda and Caroline at the beach while the boys were at Disney !
Harley and her first little surprise/hint. She has no idea what's going on and told her mom that she was thankful someone sent her something but she has no idea why.
more to come ......................
