OK, so I have been to at least 4 of these. Slow old-man-brain is keeping me from remembering exactly how many.
Unfortunately this year a personal issue may keep me from this year's event. But I did want to speak to those who have never been, and are not sure if they should go. Let me tell you about five of the reasons why
I would stay away from this event;
1. I have a hard time staying away from the dole whip machine (not on my diet)
2. I also have to steer myself away from the pitch-in buffet of amazing food (again, Doug needs to shed more than a few pounds!)
3. Texting my wife for permission to bid on several of the fun, rare, and Disney-riffic auction prizes typically ended badly.
4. Winning prizes in the raffle usually elicits a girlish cry of glee from me that hardly befits my advanced age and alleged maturity.
5. Telling my two girls that we have to leave results in a drive home that would not qualify as "family-friendly". They have too much fun, and I am the 'meanie' or 'poopie-head' who ruins their fun.
But of course if having good food, good fun, and making more Disney friends is up your alley, I guess you could go!
