Disney World here we come?

We had Jared stay with us this weekend. The boys each get a birthday weekend at my house, where they get to play the computers and game systems and spend time with me and Dan and without their brothers. They don't have to share anything, get to pick where they eat for dinner or breakfast at least 1 day, and basically we try to spoil them.

Jared's birthday weekend got to be this weekend. It was supposed to have been in January, but the guy's older brothers talked him into asking if they could come. It just didn't seem fair, so I think the new rule is: Birthday weekends are for the Birthday boy only.  All boys weekends will be done at different times.

It's been nice to have Jared. He is getting so big and smart. It's been really hard for me not to treat him like a little boy. We sat down and watched videos of Disney World and Harry Potter at Universal and he's as excited as I am. Can't wait to go.

I am of course worried about this trip. I hope I'm not the party pooper of the group but I just worry I will get so tired I will slow the guys down. We are going to rent me a scooter for our stay. Disney is pretty darn friendly with the scooters and most rides even let you scooter in the lines. I like that. Of course it would be nice to get in front of the line, but really.... It's not fair. I have spent plenty of time in the lines and I don't want to cheat those who stand in line.

I bought a book on my kindle called the Unofficial Guide to Disney World 2012. It was 800 pages long. I read through it (skipped stuff that was not pertinent to our trip).  My only complaint besides the length... was the small, tiny and mostly unhelpful guide for people with mobility issues. It had some great stuff for people using wheelchairs, but nothing really on people using ECV, or Electric Convenience Vehicles. Disney does offer a map for people who will use one of these and or wheelchair. But I really want to know what to do. I guess I will be the book's guinea pig and then write to them after the trip so they can add at least 4 more pages to their book.

Dan and I are debating right now about bringing a 4th person. Although taking Lance would be ideal, I have to say no. 1- he already got to go to Disney Land, and 2- He's a pain in the hind end sometimes, especially when he doesn't get his way. 
I am actually focusing on taking Jadon. He's 13, big for his age, and I'm hoping he can be responsible. Dan is having a hard time with this, as Jadon's attitude sometimes leaves something to be desired. I know he's a great kid, but he's so.... so..... what's the word?  Sassy? Rude?  really it's hard to say.

I feel a little guilty because he's my cousin's son and of my blood, but I haven't spent enough time with him before. I spend way more time with Lorie's boys, and this makes me feel bad. but I do have to remember that it's not all my fault either. Jadon hasn't really wanted to spend any time with Dan and I. I don't know if it's because he doesn't like us, or because he is just super shy..... (part of the reason I think he hides behind is rude and abrasive demeanor.)

Taking him would even out the numbers and I hope make it fun for all. We'll see. I have a plan and did something I would normally NEVER do. I had Dan apply for a Disney VISA Card.  Since we get discounts, that is what we will use to pay for the trip, and then when the trip is done, we will pay it off.
Hopefully this won't backfire on me. LOL
