Yes Dan is tagging along to Disney. He insisted when I said I was going, b/c it will be Sydney's first ever trip to a Disney park. (Nathan went to Disney in CA 17 times in 9 months when we lived there, then I took him to Florida the week after the big bomb in Nov. '07, just the two of us.)
Anyway he wanted to go see Sydney meet the Princesses; it is also Star Wars Weekend, the original actors for Darth Vader and Boba Fett will be there to meet and greet, Star Wars parades, etc. So Nathan is beyond thrilled.
He first said he would get an adjoining room; then once reservations were made, I told him my confirmation # so he could call and get a room adjoining ours. He then said, "Well, there are two beds, right? So we can each sleep with one of the kids...."
I paid for the entire trip out of my half of our tax return. So he is not allowed to bitch about anything. If he doesn't like our room, my plans/dining reservations/etc, too bad. He can buy his own trip and do it again another time...I got the round trip airfare and then a resort package. We are staying at a Disney Resort with free transfers to/from the airport, to/from the parks, and I got the dining plan with 3 meals and a snack each day, included, even character dining. So there is not much to have to worry about once we get there.
The only downside is the room I booked (Pirate Themed room at Caribbean resort, the kids are so excited!) has only double beds, not queen or king. So a 6'3" guy is going to be quite crowded sharing a bed with a 6 yr old boy. But, he could have booked his own king suite if he felt like it...
In unrelated news things are going ok. I went and spent some more money on clothes for me and the kids for the trip. And I cleaned out Target's "trial size" aisle getting supplies for the trip. Worked in the nursery at church this morning, then had my mom, dad, and sister over for lunch. Grilled salmon, strip steaks, grilled veggies, and strawberry shortcake. Very nice!
