The real world always seems so harsh after a week in the Disney bubble, doesn't it?
Yes, it does! Luckily, we still had a week of summer vacation left, so we didn't have to jump right back into everything. It was more of an easing into it.
Hurrah for a new PTR and a dining package! My dates are 4/30-5/6... when are yours?
May 27 - June 2 -- I guess we will be missing each other.
I hate to see Trip Reports end but I love love love that we have a new one on the horizon!!
I know -- thank goodness, I have another trip to look forward to!
What a great trip report!!!!!
YAY for last minute souvies...that shirt is too cute!! I want one LOL!!!!
I had a hard time deciding between that shirt and the one with Tinkerbell on it. I decided to go with Mickey since I already had red Mickey head earrings I could wear with it. LOL!
I'm really looking foward to your PTR!! WOOT WOOT YAY for dining package!!!
I am very excited about that Free Dining! We have never gotten to do it before.
I am very excited!
I'd like to sense a new CP PTR.
Love the souvies. Such great colors on those shirts! And who doesn't love some coconut patties? Yum, yum.
I think our dates are exactly the same (May 27 to June 2), so we need to meet up while we are there!
I love the shirts!
The coconut patties are a good souvenir. I bet,
unlike I would have, they didn't keep the boxes when the food was gone.
It's hard for me to throw away any kind of Disney food box or wrapper. I have a bunch of empty packages in the hutch with my Chef Mickey. I think that totally seals the deal on me being a Disney dork.
I hate throwing away anything with Disney on it! I even have napkins dating back to the 1980s!
Oh, man, you could have spent that Atlanta rush hour time at the CBR pool or DTD or somewhere in Disney World!!! I don't know when Atlanta is not busy. We've been through there in the middle of the night, and it was plenty busy then.
It is always busy on the Atlanta freeways. You can just imagine what a nightmare it was on Wednesday when the highways started icing in the middle of rush hour. I was very glad I wasn't out in it!
You did get your parade music, eventually, didn't you?
I did -- Anita was wonderful enough to send me a CD!
Well, well, well - Charles was cracking jokes on the way home.
I bet he's already secretly been plotting things to do on the next trip.
Judging by his later actions, I would say he was.
Thank heavens you have a PTR coming. I can't go too long without my Connor and Chelsea stories. Plus, it's just so doggone fun to follow along as our friends plan where they are going to stay and eat and play the next time around!
Reading about everyone else's trips does make the time in between trips go by faster. Chelsea and Connor are always good for some stories!
I am behind by one post and so I am going to go back and read, but I just can't stand it, I have to say have a happy week's vacation and I am so excited for whatever you have up your sleeve.....
Thanks! I feel like it is already going by too fast. Yesterday we spent the day wrapping presents, and today my mom and I are doing some last minute shopping with lunch.
I mean how can we live without a CP PTR or TR??!! Oh. Did I say that??? cough cough cough...
I am so thrilled I have a fan base!
PS... be on the look out for something...
Yeay! I love finding surprises in the mail! Hopefully, my last package will arrive today as well -- Connor's WDW hoodie that he has been wearing for the last three years is looking beyond ratty -- seriously, he looks like an orphan in it -- so I asked him if he wanted a new one. He said he wanted another WDW one -- I found a cute one online at the
Disney Store -- the email says it should arrive today.
I know I missed a few updates over the past month or so, but I really enjoyed your TR. What a wonderful trip! I enjoyed all the pictures of the kids and the souvies.
Hi, Mary Ellen! Glad to have you back on the DIS!
to a new PTR! Can't wait for all the details. I second what Christine said - early May is a great time to visit the world.
Just sayin'
We will be there at the end of May -- one week after school lets out.
Last minute souvenir shopping helps ease the pain of departure.
We never plan to visit parks on our last day either. We just have a relaxing breakfast and catch an afternoon flight home.
Looking forward to your new ptr
Yep, that is pretty much what I have resolved we need to do from now on!
I always end up buying those coconut patties at the airport...so yum!
And I knew you had good taste.....but this just proves it!
I have the same shirt!
Great minds, Heidi!
