Hi Everyone, videos are coming soon! I'm getting them uploaded to You Tube right now and having a heck of a time doing it.

I've also started my Pre-Trip Report for my October trip. Take a look!

Sounds like it was a really great trip. I agree that the airport at the end of your trip is the absolute worst. My last trip I was entertained by a woman going off on an airline worker because Air Tran doesn't seat people with kids first at the Orlando airport. The man was trying to explain to her that people with kids would be just about everyone leaving from Orlando, but whe kept going on and on. Oiy!

I think it would be safe to say that most people leaving Orlando are pretty cranky!

If you read through the Pre-Trip report, you may remember the my Solo Trip Pledge. How did I do?

• I will try to take a minimum of 20 Photopass pictures a day: I didn't take 20 photopass pictures a day, but I did take a LOT. I think I ended up with almost 150 photos after edits. Let's chalk this one up as a success!
• I will have a meet and greet with Chip and Dale: Yes! Mission accomplished and a lot of fun
• I won’t be afraid to go to Character Meet and GreetsOkay, so I was a little hesitant, but I sucked it up and did many!
• I will take the time to explore World Showcase and see some of the entertainment there A sad failure. Next time...really
• I will attempt to RELAX!!!! I won't call this one a success since the only reason I relaxed was because I was driven to exhaustion
• I will talk to the people around me in line and on my tours When possible, yes! I made some new "friends" and wasn't shy
• I will make conversation with a CM I had a great conversation with one of the Animal Guide CMs at AKL
• I won’t be disappointed if I don’t get a dream I had many disappointments, so no, a complete failure!
• I will try not to overeat, but at the same time I will not worry too much about what I am eating I'd say this one I accomplished. I ate what I wanted, when I wanted, but didn't stuff myself too bad
• I will indulge in at least one alcoholic drink Definitely, and I have fuzzy memories of a night at DTD to prove it
• I will try a new food Do Zebra Domes count?
• I will swim in the resort pool at least once Briefly, but check!
• I will find something special to buy for my new home I found quite a few special things actually!
• I will buy something I don’t really need, but really really want! Yup! Again, a few things in that category
• I will not freak out if things do not go exactly according to plan! I had a tough time after that rough Backstage Safari tour, but I recovered!

All in all I had a great trip and can't wait to get back. Less than 7 months to go until I start a whirlwind year of AP trips!

Thanks to everyone who read along and I hope you join me on my Pre-Trip report that is currently going on!
