Oops! Bus schedules - you can't be expected to know that!!
Mom knows all, sees all. Didn't you get the memo?
I fully intend on getting a Turtle Krawl on my October visit. Hoping to get a meal at Olivia's too!
Definitely have dinner there if it fits with your park plans, it was SO good! And relatively reasonable.
So glad to hear about the full laundry at OKW - sorry to hear about Jeff's shorts. Hope they were salvageable.
He was pretty bummed, they were his one pair of "dress" shorts. That laundry room was the bomb. Nice to have space for folding and sorting, heck you could even unfold the whole ironing board and still have enough room to walk through to the bathroom! And thanks to the split bath we could leave them soaking in one sink and still have one available to use.
Yes, Carrie will also be there with me. I am also meeting up with a bunch of friends for Lou Mongello's event and the Tower of Terror run. It should be so much fun!
The ToT run would be so much fun! I am not a fan of runs...while I'm not a runner, I could do a 5K, but the idea of the whole betting up early, waiting in line, corrals, crowds...bleh. However, ToT and F&W runs do have a certain appeal. That sounds like a fun group and trip!
One of these years though I wld love to meet up with your gang for F&W.
I have met Christine and Tracy on trips past (actually, I think Christine and I may have met up on 2 separate trips...) but wld love to meet the rest of you someday. Unfortunately I think I am the only holdout who still hasn't joined Facebook....yet another reason to get with the program!
This will be my first F&W with the group though Tracy and Christine have been doing it a while. I've been to F&W only once, back in 2004 on our large family trip, it was wonderful. It will be very fun to do with with Mary Ellen, it's her first! We did sign up for 2 food seminars and I"m looking forward to those.
I don't think you are last, I have friends just joining now. I probably wouldn't have but had to for work at my previous company and now am glad...I can keep an eye on my kids!
What a nice afternoon at the pool!
Love the slide at OKW!
I admit that I didn't go down it. Didn't have my slide "on" as Eric would say. I feel a bit guilty about that. Maybe next time!
So happy you liked Olivia's! Everything looks really yummy!
Loved Olivia's!
Sorry about the bus confusion. Glad that everything worked out! Disney service is the best!!
We had incredible service at OKW, some of the best anywhere, even for Disney!
I can't believe with your supreme awesomeness you didn't know the internal bus schedule!
Nice to see you liked Olivia's! I tried to get DSIS to take her girls there on her last trip - one of them is named Olivia - but they never made it there.
Yeah, my supreme awesomeness is rather superficial.
We absolutely loved Olivia's. I'd looked at going there before but it was too much work to get there. I think we'd make the effort next trip, no matter where we are staying.
I love to see you just making family togetherness time and nothing is rushed! Good job, Mom!
It was different, and weird, to go back and watch TV. We have never done that at WDW but it really meant for a nice end to the evening. It was a great first day. At least once we got of the 2nd flight.
Hey Cynthia,
You created quite an evocative picture of your last hours before leaving... The thought of you in a dress, running errands... And shoving the cats in the carriers... Had me chocking coffee out over my keyboard ( I have two cats too - and that look was priceless...)
Patricia!!!!!!!!!
so happy to see you back on the DIS.
The errands in the dress, not such a big deal. The cat wrangling...that was a different story. Even in the moment I knew how ridiculous the whole thing was and was amused. I still am grateful I didn't snag my dress.
I love that your family views you as the supreme keeper of all the travel/ vacation info... I mean really now- what's up with that bus situation? Don't you have every piece of travel info imbedded in your head
Microchip! That's what I need.
Oliva's sounds really great- I've never been cause we haven't stayed there but it sounds it's worth making the trip over...
Looking forward to reading more of your adventures....
It is worth the trip. Such a complete change of pace from most of the resort and park restaurants. It reeks of relaxation.
