We made it to Disneyworld!!!!

So last week was a very hectic and nerve wrecking week. I was planning this big huge trip to Disneyworld but kept it from the kids, wanted to surprise them. Once I saw a Disneyworld ad where a few parents surprised their kids and got it on video, so I have been planning to do that to them. So planning went on and on. The research on hotels ( trust me.. This one had me stressed out, which hotel, inside the parks or outside, the rate, the cleanliness, the service, the shuttle to Disney bla bla bla, tripadvisor was my best friend!)and then the flights, well, this one we booked really last minute as hubby just got clearance from HQ to take some days off on Friday morning, so Friday night I bought the tickets which turned out to be a few hundred dollars more compared to if we bought it two days earlier..oh well..what to do. Okay, after all of that was settled, I had to start packing but wait! The kids didn't know about it yet..yup, didn't plan to tell them until a few hours before the flight but then our flight was early Sunday morning so decided Saturday night would be ok and what a loonnggg Saturday it was. My daughter had a birthday party to go to at noon then at four, we had an invitation for tea at a friend's place, so there I was going to one party to another, keeping it all inside. Didn't even tell anybody else, guess I didn't want to jinx it..i know it sounds silly but after two trips being cancelled last minute, I was really hoping this one would go smoothly. At my friend's house, I didn't eat much,which I am regretting it now as her nasi lemak was super delicious. Anyway, we got home by 7, then asked them to change into their pajamas. Sat them down and with my camera ready with the video mode on, told them that they would not be going to school next week. When they asked why, told them "because we are going to Disneyworld!". They were stunned and couldn't process the info. Told them again, then they started jumping up and down! Oh..it was a sight to behold! The screaming of happiness was just priceless! I did it! THEN we started packing, packing for the lovely warm weather in Florida! Yeay! Ok, next day, off we went to the airport and my kids were saying that they couldn't believe this was happening and you know what kiddo, me too! The flight was smooth and once we got to Florida, everyone was feeling so excited! I couldn't sleep that night, the excitement plus it is a habit of mine not being able to sleep the first night I changed places. T The next morning, got up bright and early and had breakfast and off we went to Epcot! It was just surreal to see the big ball! Got on a few rides, took tons of pictures and had a gazillion of fun! Ok, part two of the trip in the next blog! Have to go now!
