Hi Everyone!
Only 16 days till Christmas and 42 days till Family Reunion! Lot's of fun and memory making shortly ahead for all of us!
Our current "official count" for the reunion is 43! There's always room for more, remember that Franson saying, "We packum in"!
We have several extended family members joining us for all or part of our stay.
Uncle Rich will be coming. This will be his first trip to Disney in many years as well as his first trip seeing Disney through the eyes of his grandchildren. It will be wonderful for him!
Chris Hamilton's best friend Kelly and her children Conor and Shelby will be joining as well. This will be great fun for Chris and and the kids!
Jeff will be bringing Teri with. It will be a new experience for Teri...........seeing Disney the Franson Way!!! Jon will also be joining us for a long weekend.
Caitlin will be bringing her sweetheart Lee. This will be Lee's first trip to Disney, wow that boy is gonna get dragged from one end of the world to the other, HA!
Our 4th daughter, Becky Petro will be joining us on Wednesday to hang out with Courtney.
Our "oldest son" Mark and his new bride Heather will be joining us for a long weekend. We're absolutely thrilled that they will be joining us. We've spent many hours in Disney with Mark but this will be Heather's first foray into the Franson Disney experience :)
So, the aunties and I were making a list and checking it twice during our "Not So Crafty, Craft Club" Christmas gathering, HA!
We discovered and planned the following!!!
Sunday, January 20th was our planned day for our pizza party for all. However we've found out that the Magic Kingdom will be open until 11pm that night. So, not wanting to cut into the ability to spend a LONG DAY at the parks we made the executive decision to move pizza to Monday night. This means that Monday becomes the big group activity day!
Monday at about 10am the guys will tee off at Kissimee. If you haven't already contacted Les to be added to tee time shoot him an email.
Caitlin and Lee will be watching the young boys during High Tea, young guys should be at the Franson Grand Villa at about 1pm.
High Tea will be at 2pm at the Grand Floridian.
Pizza will be between 5 and 6pm at either the Damez or Stockman Grand Villa. We'll determine the exact location after check in on the 19th.
After pizza, all interested will head off with Uncle Lou to mini golf.
Tuesday evening at 5pm are our reservations for Chef Mickey's. Be sure to get there at least 15-30 minutes ahead of time so we an be seated on time.
Fees and such:
Golf - I believe Les sent out the fees for golf and club rental
High Tea will be $25.00 per person (plus tax and tip)
Pizza - we're guesstimating $5.00 per person. It will depend upon how many pizzas we order.
Chef Mickeys - $29.99 for adults, $14.99 for kids, plus tax and tip.
I think that covers it all, for now anyway.
If there's anything anyone would like me to add let me know.
Wishing all of you a Blessed Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year!
Love,
Maureen, Les, Courtney, Caitlin, and Cara
