We got back around 7:30 last night and had just enough time to eat dinner and get ready to watch my DAWGS beat the Jackets. The first part of the trip was great and crowds were very low. By Monday, there was some pick up in crowds, but we were at MGM and it wasn't too bad. Tuesday was AK and again it was tolerable. Tuesday we did the Wishes cruise with two other dance families and it was wonderful (although pretty chilly). Wednesday was a VERY long day because of all the dance activities. The girls had a wonderful time and the experience was all worth the early morning and long day. Thanksgiving day we were at Epcot and it was okay in the morning and then got pretty crowded by evening. EMH that night was a zoo and we left without really doing anything. Friday we were in MK at EMH and got a lot done. Around 1:00 the crowds were unbearable so we left. We ended our trip with Le Cellier, Candlelight, and the holiday Illuminations. FABULOUS!!! Rita Moreno is now our favorite narrator and the guest conductor that night was the first woman guest conductor for Candlelight ever and is a professor at UGA!
All dance families stayed onsite and had the most marvelous vacation. We had two groups: one group of families at Riverside and the other at the All Stars. Everyone had a blast and all my planning and advice paid off. The only downside to the entire trip is that my older daughter, Carrielee, has fractured her big toe. On two different days she was run over by strollers on the same toe. We didn't really think too much about it, but then she danced on Wednesday. By Thursday the toe was very sore and had begun to swell. Yesterday it was awful and very swollen. Apparently, the combination of the two strollers (one jogger type and one double Disney) and the dancing fractured the toe. Of course, there isn't much that can be done about it. We are wrapping it and she is applying ice, etc. The doctor said it would take at least 2 weeks to feel better and 6 weeks to completely heal. So, I guess no more clogging for a while.
Time to go unpack and wash clothes.

I fell down a couple of marble stairs where I work on Monday hurt my knee and right toe since we were leaving for Orlando on Tues. morning I just put ice on my knee. My toe was the one I should have put the ice on. But that didn't stop me from walking all over SW and Epcot, now I'm back home and have a doctor's appointment first thing tomorrow.
