Welcome home Geoffa - WDW June/July 2018
Well, it's booked. We had (Geoff, Geoffa on the boards and the admiral himself when on the Dibbcast) and myself (long, suffering Darrin) originally planned to be doing Route 66 this summer.
Then, as many of you know, came the news that Geoff has lost his short fought battle with cancer. It was pretty sudden. Having dealt with the initial shock, then been blown away by the wave of love and best wishes (about 52,000 at last count) I wasn't planning on going away. In fact, I'm still waiting for the travel insurance to cough up (nudge nudge). But the time was booked off at work and given, just how special the 4th of July was to us, how could I sit at home (Geoff and I met 29 years ago on 4th July). There is only a month (as I write this) between now and the 4th July. So no hope of decent accommodation or Dining Ressies. Or Fastpasses for that matter. But I think Geoff is smiling down on me. And it's all booked. Check into an SSR 1 bed (washer-dryer - yay!) on 28th June. Flights booked at a great price and a huge amount off with all our Avios points (is it legal to use a dead persons Avios?! - too late) And best of all... Managed to get a ressie for myself and some friends for... 4th July Fireworks Dessert Buffet at the Tomorrow Land Terrace. OMG. I still can't believe it. Now, for those of you who are still either reading or drying your eyes, I want to know who is going to be at WDW between 28th and 3rd July! I want as many selfies/memory maker (photopass) pics as we can manage. Want a coffee? Join me for a natter? Just PM me. Know another Dibber who is going? Let them know. Drink in the evening? Share a ride photo? Contact me. I really want to celebrate and you should all be part of it. I'll edit this post with more of what I'm going to be doing, and will then try and come up with (a lame excuse for) a trippie. I mean, who can compare with Geoffa's biblical trippies. Big shoes to fill. And I'm not even going to try. Just waiting for the first cast member at SSR to say "Welcome home". Might have to have the tissues ready. Dx.
