Ok................here I go breaking my promise by starting this puppy.
I've been working on our December Wish Trip Report since...................well, since December and PROMISED myself I would not move on to this PTR until it was done. But that TR is dragging on....................and on......................and on and this Spring trip is looming closer and closer. I figure if I don't start something soon it'll be too late to do any planning! And what fun would that be???? So there.......I've just justified breaking my promise. And I am "almost" done with that neverending TR. That's close enough right?
So a new trip? Already? I'm sure some are saying "Why?"
Well truth be told this Spring trip was agreed to before our Wish Trip was put in place. Back in the beginning of September to be exact. When my darling daughter started back at her dance studio for yet another year. We had switched to this studio the year before because her previous studio seemed like a bit of a 'warehouse'. We loved this new one. Smaller classes. Professional looking studio. Yearly performances of the Nutcracker. And....................trips to Disney every 2-3 yrs OK.............sign us up!!!!!! And as luck would have it, this year, 2010, just happens to be a Disney year
So that's why yet another trip oh so close to the last...................the Darling Daughter will be Dancing in Downtown Disney (and while that perhaps would've been a great title for this PTR..................I like mine better )
So let's outline a few specifics:
The Who:
ME : Pamela...................stay-at-home Mom to four kids ages 4-9 who worked for 15 yrs as a speech/language pathologist before trading it all in for some full-time fun and frolic with my family
DD: Olivia, turning 10 this coming Monday, the designated 'dancer'. Liv, like many little girls, took up dancing as a toddler but, unlike many who started out with her, continues to love it to this day. She is in fourth grade, is a talented pianist, artist and at present aspires to be a fashion designer, cake decorator or art teacher.
DGM: my mother (what is the accepted abbreviation for grandmother?). My mom is amazing. She's 81 years old but you'd never know it.........she's as healthy as a horse and looks more like 71! She mows the lawn, tends to her garden, goes out shopping almost every day, drives a little Miata and is quite the fashion plate! I am so excited to have her along with us this trip.
The What:
DD will be part of a group of approximately 50 girls. Fifty girls and another 200 of their family members For us it going to be 'just the girls' as we're leaving the boys at home................that means my dh, 3 ds's and DGF. Not quite sure how they are going to fare without us
The Where:
Our group will be staying at the All Star Music Resort
The When:
Arriving Thursday night 4/29 and leaving Tuesday evening 5/4/10
The Why:
To do some dancing in Disney of course! The girls will be participating in workshops with the Disney dancers on Saturday and performing on the waterfront stage in DTD on Sunday. The rest of the time we are on our own
So there's the scoop!!! I'll have to add some pictures next time!!!
Oh and the title? I'll have to explain that after the pictures........................I promise it'll be a good one
I hope to have some company. Talkin' to yourself can get old pretty quick
