Great update! It's so awesome that Adam is wearing the "Judge me by my size do you?" shirt. Love it!
Glad that you enjoyed Epcot. Sorry that everyone else didn't like it quite as much.

That was quite a day! Pretty impressive all those character meet & greets you got accomplished! That was really a lot, some of those characters I had no idea were even around WS!
Its really hard to do Epcot in one day. I think I'd call this a success!!!

I really love that the CM who spread the pixie dust was a friend of a virtual friend- it makes it even more special!
We still haven't taken the kids to SeaWorld- I am thinking we will in November 2012, because we'll be at WDW for a full week (we usually are less than that). The last time I was there, the closest thing to a ride was the conveyor belt through the penguin house- it seems alot has changed!!
Your right and you get to see what happens in the next few updates! I think its a great place for a little older generation. The rollercoasters that are there are awesome! Hopefully, you all will enjoy.
I know what you mean. I used to travel a lot in a past job I had (got a card from Holiday Inn one Christmas congratulating me on being in their top 1% of customers for the year). I've found that the HI Exp tend to be decent if not great, and you kind of know what to expect. I think I've stayed at hotel hell once or twice in my experiences too. I'm interested to see what your experiences were when you stayed there.
LOL .. if you only knew!
Man it must have felt nice to get some SLEEP!!
We did 'till the next day. One would think you don't want phone calls interrupting sleep on vacation.
Yeah, I only saw all the signs for the falls!I'm glad your hotel turned out so nice this time! Can't wait for more!
Wait till the next hotel!
Glad the hotel was nice!
Can't wait to hear about Epcot!
We want to stay onsite one day, but it just hasn't been cheap enough and with the economy coming back a little I don't see this in our future.
Sometimes I don't believe we made it easier. When we were going home it was a lot of the talk. LOL O the cruise... drama there too!

Thanks!Awesome update!!! Glad you enjoyed Epcot!
Your pictures are great
Sorry to hear that your wife and son didn't enjoy Epcot more. It's a favorite of ours but the nice thing about WDW is there is something for everyone!
I think your report has made me feel its totally ok to not do a commando style touring. The characters really made a big difference like....
I won't I promise something hopefully soon. As one could imagine, this time of year and working for Fedex... But I promise soon!Great TR! Please don't keep us waiting for another installment.
It was funny when Alladin was reading it? That threw me off a little!

It was funny after the cruise, I was in line with Adam's pillowcase. There was a little girl there and she noticed all the signatures. She then asked me where to get whom and where at and I could just rattle them off. Before too long, the entire line was asking me about it.
It will be in the next update.. but it really doesn't end there?!?
I think the whole Drink around the World is KEY!!

Hope you're getting a chance to breathe. The craziness is really starting to ramp up down here. I know our rush starts a little earlier than yours at FedEx, but last night was nuts.

Just got all caught up on the report!! I am dying to know the pixie dust with MNSSHP....
I am with you on the cruising around Epcot, it is one of my favorite places, but not with the kids. They never want to leave Future World and I want to stroll through the stores and drink my way through the countries.
I can't wait for your next installment!!

Our feet were aching after we finished with Epcot. We hadn't checked into our room yet of our new hotel, Wyndham @ Bonnet Creek. All I could think of was just wanting to get some rest and relaxation. We left the parking lot and headed onto Disney's streets of "You might just pass your hotel, turn around" fun! Fortunately, my wife in the morning saw the ever so small brown street sign for Bonnet Creek.
After going through security gate, we were at the front of our hotel. Two bell hops began to unload my van as I checked-in. Painless smooth. I was given a parking pass, headed back to the van to find my wife a little irritated that I didn't tell he what goes in the room and what doesn't. Oops! I gave her my room key, parked the van, and walked to my room. When I got to the room, I was surprised at the size. Here are some photos from another Disser. The only difference was we arrived at night and the rooms are set-up the opposite that the photographs for us.
I went outside and on the balcony I took this picture from my phone
The picture really doesn't do it justice. Once my son saw the pool, all he could do was ask can we go? Who was I to say no. WE had about 2 hours 'till midnight with nothing going on but Mnsshp so why not?After we got done swimming, we heading to Publix to grab some food. Only when we got to Publix, it was closed. I was a little ticked but I should have followed my wife's thought and just gone to Walmart. So we did. I think it was about 1 am when we finally got home, put Adam to bed, and and proceeded to collapse ourselves. I thought about putting the phone off the hook since we were in a timeshare but we probably wouldn't get bothered. Right?

I set the Alarm at 11:00am, so we could get some good rest. I promised my son after 3 days in a row of waking him up early that I wouldn't wake him up and let him sleep in....
Ring Ring Ring Ring 8:00am
The Front Desk called to let us know that we hadn't picked up our parking pass and that the one we had would expire. My wife said I was sleeping and hung up the phone.
Ring Ring Ring Ring 10:00am
Same thing, same person, and this time I got up. Once I'm up, I'm up. I wasn't happy to say the least. I would go downstairs to the Front Desk right? Nope.. Member Services aka Sales. Here we go!
After filling out a sheet and some small talk about the place, I was given the shpeal about do I want to take a tour of the place for $150 Amex Card? No. Are you sure? blah blah blah.. for about an hour. I should have just left, but for what ever reason I didn't. I told her we would be busy and that I can't stand the fact I was woken up. No apology. She asked me if I like the hotel again, this time though I thought I would drop the not so hidden hint writing about my stay and adventure on the Dis..... I would have had better success to talk to a dumb animal that this stupid women. She eventually gave me my pass with a time to meet some dude for a tour. I can't tell you how many times I saw someone with a Sales Person in an elevator and all I wanted to say was something I shouldn't repeat on these boards!
When I returned back to the room, I found my wife enjoying the beautiful view on the back patio and my son still asleep.
Nearly 12 now, I decided to wake him up to go swimming.
What I got was my head nearly being bit off by him. He told me how mean I was cause I promised not to wake him. I laughed at him. He had been sleeping for almost 11-12 hours. When I told him that we could go swimming, the thought quickly turned to ok and we are ready to go! I sent a quick text to my contact who had some questions:
He would be dressing as Peter Pan and had something for Mickey. Along with a few logistical stuff. I told him we were planning Beaches and Cream after our swim, then off to the parks for Mnsshp.
About 3:30pm we started getting our things together to go to B&C and Mnsshp. We were running a little late and I text the CM that we were looking at going to Disney about 6:00pm. He wanted to meet in the 5-6pm window at the park, but if we couldn't then he told us where to meet him after the parade. At 4:00 we were off to Beaches and Cream.
After going through the maze that is Disney streets we arrived around 4:15 at the Beach Club. We started walking from the parking lot and it dawned on me that this was may be NOT such a great idea. I looked at the hotel and realized this place was HUGE. Since we had never been there before, it occurred to me that we could spend more time looking for the place that I cared. So I proposed to my wife that we should just head to MK and we will eat somewhere inside like Peco's Bills.
So we got back inside the car and drove until we saw
What happens next would begin to change my mind about a lot of things. After all there is only thin line...........

The Wyndham is very nice but yeah the sales pitch thing would annoy me too. The wakeup call deal is worse though, as only us nocturnal shift working people can understand! 
I totally know what you mean about B&C, the first time we went there (well first we went to the Boardwalk cause I didn't know BC wasn't on the BW
), but when we finally found BC I swear we walked every inch of that hotel and even half the Yacht Club too and were finally about to throw in the towel and leave when we FINALLY found B&C!
Ready to hear all about MNSSHP!

That resort looks pretty cool! I do have to say that there is nothing worse then a hard sell at a timeshare. So irritating!
