Disney World Vacation:
  Planning, Prepping, Packing and Postponing a trip of a lifetime and things I learned along the way.



Barnes and Noble: So, as soon as we heard we were planning a trip, Alison and I stopped at her local book store to stock up on travel books. We spent several hours studying various series of books about traveling to Disney- The Official Guides, The Unofficial Guides, The First Time to Disney, The Disney with Kids, The Disney with Seniors. We didn't find a volume titled 2 Crazy Senior Overweight Sisters out for a Lark, so we had to buy several books each to cover all our bases. We did very well with the ideas and tips in the Unofficial Guide series.
 I'll be dropping some hints along the way...
Hint: Always get trip insurance. So worth the money because you never know what's coming up in your future.

Alison, my sister, retired from teaching last June.She had devoted herself to her students, giving them her all for many years. When she left teaching, she was really worn out and her husband, Tony, wanted to do something special for her. Since I had retired two years before, her husband thought it would be a great idea to send us both to Disney World. Alison has been there several times and it is her happy place. This would be my maiden voyage. We began to plan...

Love learning about new places—some I've only visited vicariously through the research, but I know I'll get there one of these days.
