Disney Planning

We are really looking forward to our January Disney vacation! Joey and I were originally planning on going by ourselves and meeting up with all the GMU Masonettes (Dance Team), Alumni, and Families/Friends that will be there for the UDA College National Championship.  I’d like to take this moment to boast that I haven’t missed one since 2003, the first year I competed.  And last year doesn’t count ‘cause Mason didn’t compete! 

GMU Masonettes competing at UDA Nationals in 2004.  That’s yours truly in the front and center!

We were perfectly content with this idea, and especially looking forward to repeating the Around the World debacle of 2009… when randomly one day over a few beers we decided to invite our friend Amanda to come with us!  She hasn’t been since she was about 11, and according to her mother, only spent a little bit of time in 2 of the parks because “This is what HELL must feel like” is not a positive experience for anybody.

Then came another night, and another few beers.  Or we can go ahead and blame this one on Four Lokos… Our friend Ryan booked his tickets in a flash, and then there were four! 

So last night, Joey and I held a Disney Planning Meeting.  I was excited because I got to use some of my new hostessy stuff I got from the wedding, and Joey got to make homemade guac with our new food processor (shout out to RR Laura!) and Molcajete (shout out to Scoli!).  We also made a powerpoint presentation with our suggested itinerary, ticket/transportation info, and packing lists.  I think it went very well, was very informative, and Doc and Amanda’s dog, Jax, got to horse around a little bit.

Doc and Jax, post horsing… Things got a little out of control…

If you are a Disney freak, or even if you aren’t, I invite you to comment below with your FAVORITE/MUST-DO attractions for Disney World.  We will not be leaving Disney property, so Universal Studios/Harry Potter World are out of the question.  Yes, we are disappointed but there are much more important tasks at hand… like completing Around The World…
