I was short 2 days vacation from work and I thought we could go next year. Well I am not going to miss the reunion. 1ST one since I was a child. 11 year old grand almost had to be sent to counseling for neglect not seeing the mouse. He start crying...... 4/26 I scheduled 5 nights DL trip. Grandson happy 11, grandaughter 4 said I wanted to see what's at Disneyworld. I didn't know she knew what was going on.LOL Viewing DL website and I have been sooo many times and grands not once to WDW. For $400 extra we are off to WDW for 8 nights. BEST PART - I am not telling grands... they think we are still going to DL... probably won't take long to figure out why we on the plane so long.....if they announce WDW I will tell them they made a mistake.... or we going the longer route due to wind or something. It's gonna be fun to see how long that last and their faces when they realize we are going to Disneyworld. I Love SOUTHWEST Airlines......all these changes....no fees....They won me over. Joy

Thank goodness we could still change as PW starts the day we were to leave. So we'll be there 1 day with that lg group many I'm sure will be staying @ PC since it's a value. But since that will be our last full day we'll have big plans & won't be @ the resort till bedtime anyway. Plus the PW groups will most likely be checking in @ WWoS. Actually the boys will most likely love all the 'big boys' around anyway.

Last year we had some of the cheer groups @ POR the beginng of our stay. They had the trailer from a semi set up in the parking lot that sold PW stuff. Lost a lot of park pretty up close. Anyway the kids booked their flt last nite so it's official 'We're going to WDW' yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

That, and a lot of bad luck. The baloos are considering a trip once Legoland opens. Then we may do 1 week off site at Marriott and a combi WDW/Cruise stay.
