Tuesday, June 3 through Sunday, June 15 2014
We just returned from eight nights at the Grand Floridian with a gathering of 19 family members across five rooms. People said we were crazy, but it turned out to be a wonderful vacation (despite the heat/humidity, rain, and crowds)!!!!
Some highlights include:

My parents and my aunt & uncle decided that they wanted to have a gathering at WDW this summer with their kids/grandkids, and they wanted to do it in style. Mom and dad taking us to Disney?!?!? And my sister and her family are going too?!!?!? And my awesome aunt and uncle who I havent seen in a few years?!?!? Terrific! And my cousin and her kids too?!?! Staying at a deluxe resort? Sounds cool to me! Oh, and my youngest turns 7 while were there and were going to have a birthday party like none other? Wait, Star Wars weekends too? Pinch me and then count us in!
