I would have had an IV in my arm pumping valium. I have a degree in child development and am well trained in caring for young children too. 
Again glad you guys had a great trip and can't wait to hear about your trip with your mom and sister next.
Sounds like you had a good last day...well as good as a last day can be.
I've loved looking at your pictures of WDW at Christmas time. I can't wait for our Christmas visit.The tree at MCO is impressive too. Love the pictures of the POP! Too funny you took a picture of the lady w/ her dog on the bus.
Awww that is so sweet, I almost cried reading it! What a great surprise, you put a lot of work into it and it shows. Can't wait to hear all about what you guys plan!!
It will be so much fun to plan. We told Mom since it was her birthday surprise that she can pick our out sit down meals, of course, I'll give her some hints, too since she hasn't been in 10 or so years now. I love your mom's bday surprize!!! That is awesome!!! Looking forward to hearing all your planning details...when your done with your TR, you'll be needing to start a PTR...does it ever end?!?
Wow, I just got all caught up on your TR! I love the pictures of the boys sleeping, so cute.
We can't wait!! And it's been a long time since just the 3 of us have spent anytime together like that, it will be fun!!!
Can't wait to read your PTR again!! Did you get your pics uploaded??
I read your whole TR throughout the day today, lol! Great pics, adorable kids, and sounds like you all had such a great time (except CR of course!). I'm glad you said hello on Tracy's PTR so I could follow your siggy link
And thanks for all of your compliments, too!!! Hope you stay tuned for the rest, neighbor!! You got me a little misty reading about watching your best friend walking away. It made me lonesome for my best friend who lives far away from me, and wishing I could have a week in WDW with her!
Also, I am dying to know - are we ever going to find out if Santa still visited? Are we, are we, huh, huh, huh?
It's been 2 months now since I've seen Tracey, so it's been fun to relive this with you guys and having all my great memories come back!!! The card is from Barnes and Noble bookstore, believe it or not!! Most of that stuff was!! It's so cute, I kept reopening it over and over to hear the song and then Mom did, too!! Too cute!
That would be really cute for your DDs!!! Are you planning on keeping the secret for the trip all the way until the end? Are you going to do a PTR? I loved reading your first TR, keep me posted, I would love to follow you over to it!! Hint, hint!! Hey princess, I am still reading your TR. Sorry it is taking me forever. I read just a bit here and there. I am so impressed by how you managaged all those kids.
I just wanted to share my happy dance with you. Last weekned my husband and I were at a fundraiser with an auction. They auctioned of a WDW trip and we got it. We were a little misled by the description and thought that we were purchasing a package for 4 when it was really for 2. It is too late to go back now since it was all for charity although I would never had spent what we did had I known it was two person trip. We decided that we will just make the best of our impulse purchase so DH and I are going this fall or winter, just the two of us.
I just saw the post above mine where you surprised your mom with the trip. That package you put together is so cute. I bet she was very excited. I may need to borrow that Disney for Adults book. If you get any good ideas send them my way.
You have another trip this year!! That's a shame that you thought it was for your family but yay for taking a trip with just DH!! That will be awesome, when do you think you'll go? Any plans yet? I just bought that Disney for adults book for me this afternoon so I can read along with Mom, I will let you know for sure if I come up with anything worth sharing. I have all the kids traveling books but thought this may have some good hints for us traveling adults. Wow what a great surprise.. Can I be part of you family
It's a huge gift but you only live once and we got a great deal. My Mom wouldn't want a party for her 60th, she would just want to spend time with her girls, it's been years and whle she's still young and healthy, we figured why not? Thankfully we have two great husbands that are willing to let us go, mine will take vacation time to watch the boys that week so I can go, it's going to be once in a lifetime memory for sure!!! I can't wait!!
I just had to say "WOW" What a great trip it sounds like you had. That's hard watching your BFF leave like that. This leaves me hope that one day my BFF will join me in having kids and we'll be able to do a trip like this. But of course she does have to get married first.
It was a magical trip with my BFF and family for sure, it was just what we had wanted and we have such wonderful memories and great pictures to always remember it by.
I hope you get the chance to do it someday with your BFF, to have that downtime with your loved ones and on the most magical place on earth...it's truly amazing!!!
Hmm, the crowds, well, our last time was in September and it was for sure quieter then. I didn't find it too bad....we had moments where it was a lot and then others, it was tolerable. The CM's all commented on how it was SO MUCH BUSIER than they expected and they couldn't believe it, they were saying it was like Christmas week!
I would do it again and you saw what we had for a crew age wise...I hate to lead you on and say it wasn't busy, because it was but it was manageable if you follow a plan and get your FP's. I was definately busier than when you went last time 6-7 years ago than this year. When we booked our trip last year, Disney told me the two weeks after Thanksgiving were the slowest that time of year but then everyone was so surprised how busy it was. I still think the magic is woth the crowds!! I probably completely confused you now!! Sorry!! 
I know, the lap dog.....too weird!?! I had to take a pic!! LOL!! Stay tuned for the ending, coming soon.....What a wonderful last day at DHS and lovely moring before leaving!!
I cry at Fantasmic too... and Wishes.... and Illuminations
I cried yesterday at Allison's 2nd grade play....
I'm a crier
I bet your mom was pretty excited about her suprise!! What a great idea! I can't wait to hear all about the plans for that trip!
Paula
I'm a crier, too, my poor sons.....they are going to disown me or tell Todd to leave me at home cause Mommy always cries!! LOL!! I cried at Ethan's preschool graduation, like a baby...I'm pathetic!! But that's me, to know me is to love me, even through my tears!! We're going to have fun planning for sure!
I tried clicking on your link to your TR, can't get it to come up, what am I doing wrong??
What were we thinking? After take off, Cole was being passed and forth continuously from Todd & I and the boys listened to their cool new Disney Mix Sticks we had given them on the flight down as an early Christmas present. Lucas passed out pretty soon after take off, 
Since then, we've "chatted" through DIS a few times, she's one of my faithful readers on my TR and I hope we can continue this new found friendship! Thankfully, they got a plane an hour or so after they sent us a note and got home just before midnight!!! What a nightmare!! They should have been home for dinner.
OK so I guess maybe the question is - how long (approx) do you think you had to wait for each ride? (Especially at MK, where we plan to spend most of our time) THANKS!
Hi!! Stay tuned to find out, did Santa visit us??
Hi Nancy! No worries, thanks for reading along!! And yay for doing the happy dance!

We only have two days of park tickets too. Thanks for asking about my trip. I know I rambled a bit there but I am starting to get excited and spending toomuch time DISing again.
