Hello all of my fellow Disney lovers. I had every intentions of starting this trip report already, however carpal tunnel surgery has set me back a bit more than I had hoped (plus due to plumbing issues, my MIL has been staying with use for 2 weeks now and she keeps me busy when she is here). I am finally getting some relief on most days and am able to type two handed so its time to get this party started!
First off introductions and a bit of general info.
This trip was a 25th wedding anniversary trip for hubby and I. We honeymooned at DW back in 1994. When picking a resort to stay at I was going to pick a value resort to save money, then changed my mind to POFQ. However I have wanted stay at Wilderness Lodge for a long time (and oddly enough, it opened on our actual wedding day - May 28th, 1994) so hubby said "book it!" He didn't have to tell me twice.
This trip was originally booked for September and would double as an anniversary trip and a birthday trip since we would be there on my birthday on the 17th (we would be leaving this Saturday) but because of conflicts with hubby's work, we had to change it to August. The final dates ended up being August 3rd-10th.
So, who are we?
I'm Sandy. A WAHM wife and mom. I own my own business doing vinyl work and personalized signs. I also make greeting cards.
Hubby's name is Lin and he is over the welding department at the local community college. He is also the main instructor there. We also own a welding and fab business that keeps us all busy. Lin builds the handrails, etc and the family helps install them. While this trip is just hubby and I, I may mention our kids some so want to gtell you about them as well. We have three kiddos. They are all older now. Our oldest, Zach, got married in January and so now we have a lovely daughter-in-love (Victoria) as well. She has always been a part of our family, but it became official in January. Our middle child is our daughter. She is getting married November 1st so we will also be gaining a son-in-love (Riley). I'm not sure we could have handpicked a better match for Becca. They are so alike in some ways, yet so different in so many other ways.Funny fact...we call Becca Bec Bec because when Blake was little he started calling her that. When she gets married her last name will be Beckman so she will be Bec Bec Beckman. Our "baby" is Blake. He just graduated high school in May but you would never know he is the baby because he is 6'4" and pushing 300 lbs. It's funny to see him and I next to each other because I am only 5'1".
I am going to try to get a few pictures resized so I can type up the day before we head to Disney in a bit, but we have family night with all the kiddos coming to eat supper so I ma not get it posted today.
Then soon enough you'll hear about the event that brought on the trip report title.
