We are home!! Took 12.5 hours to drive both ways. Traffic was easy and we made good time.
My earring...I was SO upset!! I dropped the "F Bomb" about 20 times while still in the tub and the boys are on the other side of the door saying, "Mom! Are you okay?" The service man was WONDERFUL and of course, I started to cry again as he walked out of the bathroom with it between his fingers. He said he usually can't find them, and that I was lucky!! What a night that was!
On the night we ate at Le Cellier, we were having dinner when people starting walking in wet, VERY wet. I then heard the thunder. A CM opened the back door and said to another, "Awful green out there tonight" GREEN? He laughed and shrugged and said, it's just a storm, it'll pass. Well, it didn't!! As we were putting on our ponchos, 4Boones walked up and introduced himself and his wife!! What a treat to get to meet them!! I was a bit worried as we walked back to the Beach Club. The storm was WICKED. The news reported the next morning of the 10,000+ lightening strikes and the 10 homes that were hit and caught on fire! I knew we shouldn't have been out there!
The Beach Club is INCREDIBLE! Loved it!! When we left Country Inns and Suites...VERY nice as well....I got a phone call from the front desk of Beach Club saying our room was ready! How nice! Bell hop took us up to the room, we walk in and I go and pull the curtain back, to find a balcony that over looks, A roof. :O( I told the boys they should have brought a basketball to play with. The bellman asked how long we would be staying, we said, a Week. He promptly called down to the front desk and they were able to move us. The new location was GREAT. First floor, so we had a patio over looking a courtyard, and just 4 doors down from the Marketplace and the lobby! No, it wasn't noisy, just very convenient! We really got our monies worth out of those mugs! We were back and forth day and night!
The heat was bad! We sweated just standing in line for things. Just pushed fluids and took breaks. Wait times were minimal! Even at MK nothing was more then 30 mins...I think Pooh was 30. Most were walk ons! Even the Haunted Mansion we did that twice. BUT there were a lot of people in the parks. I was thankful to have to worry about strollers any more!! It's been a few years, but I had forgotten how much time you waist parking, unloading, reloading and going every time you stop! Each of us had a fanny pack and did just fine!
Ate at a few new places....Captian's Grille, Chef's D'France(?), and did the Grand Gathering Illuminations Dinner. That was awesome! A buffet with foods from different countries, then we went out to the lagoon to a special viewing area for the Illuminations and a dessert buffet. We were STUFFED beyond stuffed. I would definitly do it again!!
I didn't take many photos, but can upload some later. I have to get Colton from his girl's house, start dinner and cut grass! I do have all the wash caught up and we all put it away today! Suitcases are even back in the attic! I bought a Thomas Kincaid print and even got a frame and hung it today! It's called A New Day At Cinderella's Castle. LOVE Kincaid and it's beautiful!
I'll pop back in when I can!

Spiderman and The Simpsons by far were the two best. DH rode the Hulk and dueling dragons coasters. (that is not for me and DS is too small yet !!) He said bother were cool. 
I'm computer-challenged !!

Catzle and MommaMouse411! I've added both of your families to the first post. Let me know if you want me to make any changes to how it's worded. Yes, it's crazy how far in advance some of us plan. We had actually booked a "dummy" cruise on our last one and once the 2010 dates were announced we transfered our reservation to this double dip.
