On our computer we have a ticker that lists the "Countdown to Baby Shisler". I noticed this morning Tommy added another Countdown ticker...this one "Countdown to Disney trip". Cute. 1 week, 2 days is what it is listing at this moment.
We have been planning this trip since this past spring. It was initially planned to be a surprise Christmas gift to the boys, we were going in January right after Christmas break for a week to Disneyworld. They are at the perfect ages to go, we felt. 12,10 and just about 7! Well, then when we found out about the "Bonus Shisler" , as the boys sometimes refer to baby, Scott and I quickly moved the trip dates up to November. It has remained a Christmas gift, but the boys do know about it now and are SO EXCITED!
We leave on Monday, November 2nd for a week. Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Downtown Disney are all on the agenda for the week. Staying at the Grand Floridian on the lake right there, so we are only a monorail or shuttle away from all of the parks.
We have been excited about it for some time, but after being sick for a week, the excitement is at a very HIGH level. We have looked through a lot of Disney books, read an autobiography about Walt Disney, watched DVD's, looked at maps, researched online...we are busily planning away.
The boys have been there before, all on dates where it coordinated with business trips for Scott. Never as a planned family trip. Tommy has been at age 18 months, 4 and 6. Drew 2 and 4 and Jack at 14 months. Really all too young to remember much of it at all. SO this is our BIG trip, we are hitting it all and can't wait!
So gratefully, and hopefully, H1N1 is done at this house so there is no fear of illness on the trip. (All boys are in school today and Scott seems to be holding his own against getting this)
Let the Countdown begin.....
so exciting. you guys will have a great time. i am glad you are all well and can REALLY enjoy your time at disney.
