This is a trip born of compromise.
A struggle of wills between a bona fide Disney fanatic and a spouse eager to strike out on new adventures.
In the end, Disney won. But the deal was sealed with a promise....that our next family vacation would involve expanding our horizons and setting off on holidays where the code on our luggage tags wasn't going to read "MCO".
The jury was out on exactly long it would be before we would be getting back to Walt Disney World.
So I knew this trip had to be a good one.
The primary planner of the trip will be me, Trish. I am the seasoned WDW veteran of the family, having travelled to WDW countless times while growing up, starting with my first trip in 1977 at 4 years old.
Since May of 2007, when my husband and I took our 1st family trip with the kids (then ages 2 and 4), I have been back 6 times for various trips, including family vacations, business trips and trips with girlfriends. Plus, I also took my first ever trip to Disneyland in September last year!
Also travelling is my husband, Chris, the (hopefully) soon-to-be Disney Convert. Chris was introduced to WDW late in life when I took him to the Parks for his first trip in 1998 for the opening of Animal Kingdom. Since then, he has been back only 2 other times for trips with our kids in 2007 and 2008.
Next up is Katie, age 6, who has already been to WDW 4 times.
And finally, we have Declan, age 4, who will be making his 3rd trip to WDW.
Also along for the ride will be my mother-in-law Carol, who will be coming to the Parks for her 1st ever trip to Walt Disney World! Her last visit to a Disney Park was almost 40 years ago when she took a family trip to Disneyland.
I hope that you will join us as we countdown to our May Disney Holiday!
