PRE-Trip Report
His 1st Disney Trip is a quickie – Don’t
judge, we’ve done this before J
For the past 10 years, my hubby (Bop) and I (Nana)
have been taking our grandchildren (five on a rotating basis) to Disneyworld.
Some trips are longer than others, but because of circumstances, we usually end
up doing a long weekend trip only. So
while not the ideal, I am very thankful for what time I can get with Mickey,
the Princesses and all their friends at Disney. Out of these 10 years, we have
had the pleasure five (5) day trips, twice; those are rare, but fond memories. We have a newbie, our one and only grandson,
who will be initiated into the DisneyWorld trip tradition this year, and of
course, I have been getting him ready for the excitement for a year J
So, that is a little history - Now, let’s get this
pre-trip report started.
Our Cast:
·
Nana (the grandmother and author of this
trip report) - Love all things Disney, especially a trip to the World, it’s my
happy place.
·
Bop (hubby and grandpa of this group) –
He goes along with Disney because I love it and loves to see his grandchildren
excited and having fun. He’ll be the expert photographer. He secretly might
even enjoy the trip.
·
Kayna (age 10) – Her 4th trip
to DW and loves Disney Princesses, movies, and ALL rides. She’s willing to ride
anything once.
·
Savannah (age 7) – Her 4th
trip to DW and loves all things Disney. Has a collection of Disney Princess
Barbie’s and dolls, movies, music, and the castle playhouse. Rides are ok, but
she is all about the magical feeling of the park and meeting her favorite
characters.
·
Christian (Bubba – age 3) – 1st
trip to DW and has been talking about it for almost a year. Loves Disney Jr
characters as well as the Beast. Walks around the house singing, “ Let it Go,

His 4th birthday will be shortly after we return home, so of
