Welcome to the full blown trip report for the Skekel Boys! Not that tiny little pre trip report previously seen...
So the back story...there is a lot so sit back and enjoy the show!
The players
Me (46): aka Jon, Dad, Boyfriend, ex husband, son....soon to be grandp....no no no...that's not happening anytime soon!!!! Proud Disney Adult
Jonathan Jr (16)- 3rd trip (3,10 and now 16 years old)....very excited...future Disney Adult....stay tuned
Alexander (10)- 2nd trip (4 and 10)... Aka AJ...doesn't remember a thing about WDW.
The Missing Players:
Ciera (18): eldest of the clan and Senior in High school... didn't want to come
but maybe in the future??? Doubtful...where did I go wrong 
Michelle (45): new addition to the clan...aka Mom and Girlfriend, certified Disney Adult
Heidi (17): Daughter of Michelle and our companion last trip (Sept '23) we are working on converting into a Disney Adult...open to it???
More backstory:
Michelle and I met on a Disney Facebook Single Adults Group...yep we are that couple. She has been quoted saying well.atleast if I meet him on there I will have one big thing to talk about and we did! We haven't stopped talking since January of '21. We went on our first trip together in May of '21...it was a make or break trip...I guess we work...survive Disney and now know we can survive anything. We have gone every year we have been together except '24. She wanted to go but she always felt Mom Guilt for going with out her daughter. She was certainly missed since she is an amazing planner and so much fun to be around. My first time going to Disney without my significant other since I was a teenager.
As I think a lot of us had done, my ex and I planned our fifth trip to WDW in 2020. May of 2020....stupid pandemic ruined those plans...so I wanted to take my kids again. So this trip was a makeup...and now I know so much more.
If you saw my pre trip report you can see my thought process and how much my boys helped with it. Let's not rehash that!!
Next Chapter: Pre trip nightmares and no Jack Skellington in those nightmares......stay tuned !!!
