Disney Trip - Gammy's Birthday

Two Goofy's

Mickey Ears

We planned on taking my mom to Disney in the Fall to celebrate my her birthday. It is another anniversary of her 29th birthday but a BIG ONE. We were all going to go and whoop it up instead of throwing a big party which we did for her 50th birthday.

My mom sent me all her travel itinerary's for work and and about the second week of January it hit me.....She is going to be in Orlando at Disney for work, in 2 weeks....Why aren't we all going now. Umm...probably because some people make themselves crazy planning for years, this meant less than two weeks planning. We got GREAT deals on airfaire and the hotel was 1/3 of what we thought we would have to pay. I called the guy at the hotel and kept saying..."is this for real, I am not sleeping in the kitchen, what is the catch"..... His reply..."you are leaving in two weeks"

So alot of chaotic phone calls, reservation calls, and calls to Katie and Marty and a trip was born!!!! Marty is studying for the bar and couldn't make the trip, But Katie and Tim and Harper came for a long weekend, which just so happened to be Harper's 1st birthday. Lucky Kid! We stayed for a week and my mom extended to stay with us! We connected our room to my mom's and Katie was across the hall.

We had 1 day on our own, while my mom finished up work and then we had 4 whole days of parks with her. We managed some great family dinners, The Rainforest Cafe, and Dinner in Disney's Magic Kingdom. That one may not have been awesome, (service wasn't great, and they tried to put us at 2 different tables, ummm try again! ) but we were all together and that is what counts.

Toy Story Ride

With Mickey at Hollywood Studios

We ran my mom ragged. She didn't stop the entire time. The kids loved going on rides with her, trying to convince her to buy them treats, or souveniers, and skipping and singing. Reviewing the pictures I would say that a great time was had by all.
