Previous Disney Trips:
Our first one was in
August
1999. This one was a 3 day land / 4
day cruise package. For the land portion of the vacation, we stayed at
Boardwalk. The cruise was aboard the Disney Magic and sailed to Nassau and
Castaway Cay.
Our second was much different. It began
on July 26, 2000 with 10
days in Kissimmee, FL with David's baseball team, the
Iowa
Sting, for the 16U AAU National Championship. We stayed in a hotel 2.5
miles from Disney World. Mom, Tony, Ryan and Steph spent most of this
time at the parks. After the
tournament, we flew back to Des Moines on August 5, 2000 and spent 1 week
preparing for a 7 day cruise. We returned to Orlando
on August 11, 2000 for the inaugural Disney Magic 7 day cruise that began on the 12th.
We sailed to St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Castaway Cay.
Our next Disney adventure
was another cruise in August 2001. We were in
the same 2 rooms that we were in during the 2000 cruise.
We next took a cruise
during Spring
Break 2002. This cruise added some excitement because the ship caught
fire a few days before our cruise began.
We next took a cruise
during Spring
Break 2003. This cruise sailed to Key West, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.
We could not go ashore at Grand Cayman because the seas were too rough for the
tenders..
Our
Spring Break
2004 cruise again took us on the eastern route. We visited St. Maarten,
St. Thomas and Castaway Cay.
We surprised Stephanie on
Christmas morning 2004. She opened one of her gifts and found homework
inside. After she showed us a very bewildered look, we handed her our
"gift certificate" that informed her that we were about to embark on another
Disney cruise; however, she had until 7:30 the next morning to prepare.
What a surprise! We spent a fun New Years Eve on the
Disney Magic.
We traveled to the
Polynesian Resort
at Disneyworld from December 27, 2005 through January 3, 2006. This
resort is across a small lake from
Magic Kingdom. We visited all of
the parks and had a great time!
Our next one was a cruise on the Disney
Magic during March 2006.
We sailed on the Disney Magic 7 day cruise starting March 18, 2006. We
flew in the night before. The cruise took an eastern Caribbean route.
The route took us to
St. Thomas,
St. Maarten
and
Castaway Cay.
We traveled to the
Polynesian Resort
at Disneyworld from December 26, 2006 through January
2, 2007. We visited all of
the parks and had a great time!

and had a great time! We had so much fun that we decided to purchase
shares in the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) which will allow us to enjoy Disney
vacation for years to come!
In
February 2008, Dad and Mom
traveled to the
Polynesian Resort at
Disneyworld from February 2 - 9, 2008. This

Magic Kingdom. The primary purpose of the
trip was to allow Dad to attend the National Biodiesel Conference and Expo
in Orlando. While we were there, we also visited all of the parks
and had a great time!
In March 2008, we
traveled to Orlando on March 13, 2008 and stayed for 2 nights at

returned to port on Saturday, March 22nd. We visited St. Maarten, St.
Thomas and Disney's Castaway Cay. Dad, Mom & Stephanie were in room

David and Jessica got engaged on the beach in St. Maarten!!

Stephanie's birthday on June 10th. Emily joined us during this
trip for her birthday. We stayed in a 1 BR DVC Villa at Boardwalk resort,

Studios. We visited all of the parks
and had a great time! I hope to add pictures soon.
We
traveled to the
Boardwalk Inn at
Disneyworld from August 13, 2008 through August 18, 2008 because our
Lake was flooded (what an excuse!!). We visited all of the parks except
Animal Kingdom
and had a great time! I hope to add pictures soon.
