(Not a very exciting title for a thread, huh?)

Two years ago I convinced my extended family to go on “the best vacation ever!” and they all agreed. After a year of planning, we decided when to go, where to stay, what to do…and I was the one designated to do the majority of the planning. So here we go!

The basics…

WHO:
Me, my husband and 2 year old (the cool people)
My in-laws.
My mom (aka babysitter)
My sister in law, her husband and their two kids, 3 and 6.
My uncle.
My aunt and uncle.
My uncle’s sister and her husband.
My uncle’s other sister and her husband.
My uncle’s daughter and her husband and four kids, 1, 5, 7 and 9.

Got that? Good, because I still confuse myself on a daily basis. :-)

WHERE:
Half of us are staying onsite at Old Key West in 2 two bedrooms thanks to a great renter. The other half has a house rental off property.

WHEN:
IN FOUR DAYS!!! Technically 10/1 to 10/10. My family is driving down on the 30th and overnighting along the way and then flying home; everyone else is flying and is at the mercy of Magical Express.

PLANS:
Too many to list. I’m hoping to do reviews on the resort, on dining, and at least attempt to finish a trip report. HA! We'll have internet access at the end of our trip so I'm hoping to upload and update while we are there too.

We have group meals planned at Tusker House for breakfast, Crystal Palace for lunch, and a private Illuminations Dessert Party!
Other meals that I’ll be at are the Plaza, Ohana, 50’s Prime Time, Liberty Tree Tavern, Yachtsman Steakhouse, La Hacienda, and Garden Grill.

It’s my last day at work today until the 12th (HORRAY!) so I’ll be able to send DS to daycare, pack in peace for the next two days and get the house and fridge cleaned out before leaving bright and early on Friday morning.
