Well it's been far too long since I've been to Disney...way back at Mousefest was my last trip of 4 days, second week of December. It'll be a month away!
This year, for the first time I'm breaking a 12-year tradition and NOT going on a big family Disney trip over Memorial Day weekend. Instead, I'm moving it to next week, which if all goes well may be my new annual 'big' Disney trip. The last few Memorial Day weekends have gotten more and more crowded, the Florida heat is at its worst, the lovebugs are everywhere and turn the car black, and the rainstorms are regular off-and-on. Last year, I skipped half a dozen rides because the wait just wasn't worth it - and strolled around sweating looking for the next drink station each day.
My family and friends agreed, and we all decided to go for MLK weekend - we all have the extra day off of work, so we can take 3 vacation days and get 6 days at Disney. We booked the 2-bedroom DVC at Saratoga Springs (Key West wasn't available for 5 consecutive nights, which is our preference due to the size!!), and will head up Thursday.
Mousefest, I was flying solo...just a personal photo trip and meeting up with relatives at night (my aunt works at Disney...if you eat at Prime Time Cafe in MGM, say hi to 'Granma Mary'...that's my aunt!).
This time, I'll be with family and friends, so I probably won't take quite as many pics as the last trip. But if anyone else is going to be up there, let me know and maybe we'll pick a spot to meet for a drink and a hello (or hello again for those I saw at Mousefest).
Goofy, I'm on my way soon!
