First Post on Disboards

Today I made my first post on Disboards. The end is in sight.

Booked!

Today, K and I bit the bullet and pulled the trigger. We booked a room-only ressie at Wilderness Lodge for an After-Thankgiving vacation. This will be the kids' first trip to Disney World ever and first time K and I have stayed onsite. I am too cheap to use the 407# to call. I have to use the 800# that my sister told me to save couple dimes so we can turn around and spend couple thousands. Don't shake your head at the monitor. Makes PERFECT sense to me.

Guilt

Returned from a week of work and a week of fun in Orlando and Key West. Now guilt is setting in. Looking at our two daughters, A and E, we feel that they should have enjoyed WDW just like we did. Well, except for the loud music, alcohol, and all night dancing parts. K and I start to talk about a trip to WDW with the whole family. Sometime during this week my sister introduced me to Disboards. I am sending my therapy bills to her.

The Magic In The Kingdom

Couple friends tagged along with K and I to MK. They are pretty anti-Disney, yet still wanted to come. But, after a day of running all over MK, getting drenched to the bones by a downpour, spending couple hundred dollars buying everything dry from shirt to underwear at the gift shops, and exiting the Haunted Mansion (with no line) to Wishes starting right over our head, I overhead them whispering to each other, "Wow, this is great!" Disney's satanic mind-controlling spell never fails.

Magic Kingdom, Finally

After a whole week in Orlando (for work, of course), we are finally going to the Magic Kingdom. Just four adults, no plans, no books, no clues. First time to the Kingdom without mamas and papas. We decide to drop the car off at Epcot and ride the monorail to MK.

Look! Sun!

Okay, we are actually seeing this sign for the first time in broad day light after a whole week in Orlando - and we are actually sober and not tired! I have never been a Disney fanatic, but seeing this sign makes me want to check my wallet at the door.

Staff Party

For the staff party, we rented out the Adventurers' Club in DTD for two hours. After a week of convention center and Downtown Disney, I begin to forget that there is more to WDW than just loud music and booze. As for the Adventurers' Club, it was interesting couple hours. Afterwards, we club hopped on Pleasure Island until wee hours in the morning.

Cirque

So, here we are in Orlando for a week of fun and excitement at the Orlando Convention Center. This particular night went to see the Cirque show in DTD. Very nice show!
