Who is going to the Mouse House with Mishell this year?
Toby ( DH) Glenn ( DFIL) Wanda( DMIL)
The night before we left I recieved a call from the"other" Copleys saying that since our flight was at 9:03 am the would be at our house at 5:00 am
We live 20 min from the airport. Thinking they were kidding I said" Well you can be here but I will still be sleeping " . Well guess who was ringing the bell at 5:00 am ? I guess I was not the only one who was excited about this trip .
We were worried that Jeanne had torn up WDW the day before but when we got there we felt that it looked better then any of us expected. When we were desending we could see all the trees that were down and all the houses that had tarps and ply wood on thier roof. These poor people had suffered so much this summer . You could feel that little tug in your heart for all of them .
We had no problem getting our Rental car from Dollar and thanks to Mousesavers we got a great deal on a nice Cherokee. It was even the color I asked for ( love a red truck !) . Car was still new and had less then 1K miles on it .
As we are making our way to "The World" the parental units are telling me all about the last time they were down to WDW. My DH was only 8 . He had not ever been with me in the 5 years we were married. I go 1-2 times a year but this was the 1st time he wanted to go . This would be a great trip I could feel it . I had plans to make them all see Disney my way ....the way of my people.... the Mickey Mouse Freaks way baawwhaaaaa I had them in my clutches and they were not able to escape. Oh sorry I had begun to feel drunk with Disney Magic.
Of course when we pulled into the drive at the Wilderness Lodge we were all awstruck . They had never been there before but I was returning home . When we pulled up to the guardshack and I gave him our last name he welcomed us home and asked that we pull up to the top of the drive . Someone from the Concierge staff would be waiting for us to take us up to our room . By the time we got up the drive they were waiting to take us up , and Frank was waiting to take the car, Steven was waiting with the luggage cart and within 5 min we were on our way up to the 7th floor. ( I was happy that things were going smooth because I got us lost and headed over to the AKL after I said " I am the expert I will do the driving" Insert laughter here)
When we got off on the 7th floor there was Jack waiting with his big smile. He rememberd me and asked where my Nephew was this time. That made me feel special for sure . Jack is a great guy !
They walked us through the lounge area and asked if I remembered the food offering schedule . Very nice people up there , they really try to make you feel welcome. When they walked us to our room , I was so happy because it was my room from last Oct . Jack came to the room to show me how the view had changed because of the storms . You could see more of the Castle now ! It was so sad to see all the great big trees down , but it did give a great view of the Magic Kingdom .
Waiting in our room was a gift basket from FerelPeg . Oh it was wonderful , candy , Mickeys, all kinds of good stuff and so pretty ! I will be odering these for friends that are going down to WDW. My MIL thought that was the sweetest thing . We also had the Tuxedo Strawberrys waiting for us in our room . I didnt get one because the Parental Units thought they were all 7 for them LOL.
We took them over to the Magic Kingdom to see what makes me really feel like I am in WDW. "The Castle" There is something about walking down main street
At this point the whole family is still in awe over the hotel and its lobby . So seeing the Castle was just icing on the cake of the day . They were a little hungry so to Caseys it was . They thought they were the best dogs they ever had . We were off to a good start for this 1st ever family vacation with the Adult Copleys.
