It Was the Best of Times & the Worst, But It Was the Best Trip Evah!

[Wicket's Mom]

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself & the rest of the crew. First is me, Doris AKA Wicket's Mom, then my Disney resistor DH, Bob. Next is my DIL Anne & our GDs Emily 8 & Kelly 5. This was the girls first visit to WDW. The dates of our trip were Sept.6 thru Sept.12 with our DIL & GDs going home Sept.10.

I had been planning to take my GDs on their first trip to WDW since our last trip in 2009. I wanted to share my love of Disney with them & see the look on their faces when they took it all in.

The week previous to our departure were extremely busy to say the least. My DH & I are involved in historical activities, including a huge event known as The Fair at New Boston. I have a large level of responsibility, so we must attend all weekend. I was really bogged down with responsibilites.

 

[stitches of laughter]

yay! I love historical events! I love PA! and I love going to Springfield, Il.

Labor Day was spent putting away our camp clothing & tent. I also had to finish with the packing for our trip & do the last minute details that have to be done before traveling. Our flight was leaving at 6:50AM on Tuesday .

Here is a photo of one of my usual outfits for the Fair. I have quite a few gowns, etc. for the historical interpretations that I do.

Getting on that plane Tuesday morning was the begining of a wonderful saga "that was the best of times, the worst of times & a far better trip than I have ever done", to paraphrase Charles Dickens!

Welcome, so glad that you're here!

We certainly had a great time in WDW. Of course there was a little drama, thus the worst of times!

I love this costume! It's great (but it looks really hot!)

 

[SoonerGirl]

Hey Doris, thanks for the heads up! I'm glad you decided to write a TR, looking forward to hearing all about it

Well since it is silk it is lightweight, but the stays & bum roll make it hot!

Our DIL & the GDs were flying into MCO from Tulsa. Their flight didn't get in until around noon. We were to meet up at Teppan Edo for our 5:00 ADR.

We landed at MCO at 9:30AM. Off we went to find our way to the ME waiting area. After a short wait our ME bus arrived to transport us to the Caribbean Beach Resort, our home for the coming week. There was around 10 passengers on our ME. That was a good sign as to how the crowds would be!

I had checked in online & was pleasently suprised to learn that our room was ready! There was a little glitch however. They had put my party in adjoining rooms, uhoh, I specifically told the reservationist not to do that. I wanted to be close, not that close. No problem, we were put across the patio from DIL & GDs. We were in Barbados 1628, first floor!

We had a time crunch as we had to be in DTD at 11:30. We were in a rush, so we wanted to drop things in the room & leave. Our KTTW didn't work, back to the check in to get it fixed. We got a new key, which didn't work either!

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Contiued from above!

An engineer from Mousekeeping was sent to the room & decided that we needed a lock repair. We were sent on our way with assurances that th elock would work on our return.

So the two of us headed to DTD for a very special lunch! There was to be our very first Dismeet

This was the begining of our many firsts on this trip!
