How it began

I guess I should start at the beginning. I went to Walt Disney World when I was eight years old back in October of 1995. We went for two weeks and although we didn't stay on property the whole time (Looking back I can't believe we didn't) We did stay for four nights at The Wilderness Lodge. And I don't think we could have picked a better resort for our first night to stay at. I was awe struck by this place, from the lobby to the pool to the rooms. This was my first trip to Walt Disney World and the moment I saw Spectromagic for the first time on Halloween Night, I was hooked. 1997 came around and my mom asked the family if we wanted to go to California to go to Disneyland. Well I had been waiting for this and I immediately said "YES!"....but my sister said "NO!" She was at that age where it was no longer cool to be seen with your brother or your parents. She was not giving in so my mom said "Well then you can stay with Grandma and Grandpa and your dad, brother and I will all go. Well my dad didn't want to have her do that so he offered to stay behind with her and just my mom and I could go. Well we did but we changed it to Walt Disney World instead of Disneyland. (Fine by me) So we went to WDW in July of 1997 and if you have ever made the mistake of going on the fourth of July weekend then you know how HOT and BUSY it was. I still had a great time with just my mom and we stayed at the Contemporary resort which again just amazed me. This started a yearly thing with just my mom and I and up until 2005 when I met my future wife it was always just my mom and I. (Oh I brought a friend once or twice) Like I said in my previous blog I am now 22 and continue to travel to Walt Disney World occasionally with just my wife but sometimes we like to bring along my parents for nostalgic purposes. Also my mom is a heck of a planner and can have our whole week mapped out (Which is fine by me). So that's my back story some more and I will get into details of my trip as this goes on. As I write this my wife is trying to plan our next Disney Vacation with another couple we know. Of course they are being difficult saying they don't know if they would want to do Disney for 7 days. RIDICULOUS! Take care eh!
