Next up: My parents joined us for part of the trip. They were there with us when we flew into Orlando and they stayed until the next Tuesday (the 11th-18th)
My mom: Marcia
She is my best friend, loves all the same books, movies, tv shows and activities as me but she also is a marathon runner (which I am certainly not)
My daughters adore her. She is the most involved and fun grandma in the world.
Her favorites from this trip:
ride: Expedition Everest
show:Finding Nemo the musical
park: Magic Kingdom, especially Fantasy land
meal: Be our Guest dinner
snack: carrot cake
character: stepmother and step sisters
memory: one that involves the above characters and Abi's necklace (more on that later) and Abi helping her to be brave and going on EE twice together and MAddy's birthday
My dad- Jim
He is more of a homebody. He is a retired Naval officer and decorated Vietnam veteran. Disney was a bit harder on him as he has bad knees and a bad back. My mom calls him Eeyore because over the past ten years or so he has developed a little bit of an Eeyore attitude.
Favorite ride: Soarin'
show: Lion King and Fantasmic
park: Hollywood Studios
meal: Bog lunch
snack: soda
characters: stepmother and stepsisters
memory: same as my mom's

We also had one little addition to our party on Friday the 21st, our last day. We ran into Doug's sister and her family in Fantasyland and spent a few hours riding rides with her and her little girl Lizzie.
So there you have it!
It was an amazing trip full of ups and downs and magic and schedule changes.... and I can't wait to tell you all about it.
