It was great getting to meet everyone last night. I can't wait for the tour to start this morning.

Where are all of the pics?

I can't speak for everyone else but the days have been packed full of activities. I have been too tired to post pictures but will have plenty of pictures when I get back.

Sitting in the airport, waiting for the flight back home. I miss you all already. It was truly a pleasure traveling with all of you!

We missed you by a few minutes this morning. Safe travels and See you again soon!

Safe travels to everyone as they head home! I'm eager to hear about your magical trip!

Back home now. The traffic wasn't too bad. I too already miss everybody! Susan and I came a little later to breakfast as we wanted to sleep in a bit today. I missed my chance to say goodbye to a lot of you. I hope everybody has a safe trip home. I had a great time! Thanks again to Pete and the crew for making two of my wishes come true!

 

[Marla Hellwig]

Sorry if we missed saying goodbye

Now at uncle's after dinner

We spent day at cal adv - kara in following ABD fashion - broke screaming they were unloading guests from where cars ended up

Shawn and I are at the airport, he feels bad that he couldn't say good-bye. It was really sad to have to leave everyone. We had a really great time, will hopefully get to do it again with you!!!!

This was the best Disney vacation we ever had! We loved meeting each and every one of you! We will never forget this trip!

We're back in the hotel room now. We called it a night at 9:30 tonight. Stephanie got her makeover, we visited Disneyland again did the teacups, small world and then we saw Aladdin. We loved it - especially Stephanie, you could hear her laugh through the whole theater!


Jeff plans on setting up a private Flickr group so we can post photos - he took probably 1,000 of them! PM me and we'll let you know how to post them. We get back home very late tomorrow night - so I'll log back on probably Monday.

Have a great weekend! Happy dreams tonight! Although I think a lot of my dreams came true on this trip!

Just read about the tornado at the St. Louis airport. The airport is closed at the moment. I think Mark and Louis were supposed to fly home today. I hope they have a safe trip back. Let us know when you get home. I miss you and hope everything will be okay.

Hi ABDers! I just saw a post on the ABD forum and thought I'd ask you guys since you had the most recent trip. Was the backpack they sent you of a poor quality? Some DISers are saying it is a cheap nylon instead of something sturdier like they used to give. I want to plan ahead and bring a different bag if this one isn't going to be sturdy enough. Thanks for your help!

 

[rchristiansen]

We're home now....happy and sad at the same time to be home. We spent the morning at downtown disney: Ate breakfast at the La Brea bakery, "Built a Bear" - it ended up being a peace sign blue bear with a little mermaid costume (Steph named her "Bearmaid"), did some shopping and took the limo to the airport.

I posted a link to the upload of all our photos on my facebook page. (I didn't want to post the link here since this is a public forum and give anything away)

Thanks again to all of you for making this the best Disney vacation we have ever taken. It was more than I ever expected!

PS - I wonder if I'll make it to Easter Sunday service tomorrow. I almost forgot it was tomorrow! Happy Easter everyone!

I thought my backpack held up well. The stitches at the top where the straps are pulled a little. Trust me when I say I put it through a lot. I had my iPad and Nikon camera in it. It has a lot of miles on it.

I think you would be quite happy with the ABD backpack.

Becky, it was great meeting you and your family on this trip. I know I took over a 1000 pictures. Now it is time to go through them all. Happy Easter.

Has anyone heard from Mark and Louis? Watching TV and worrying if they got home okay and that their house was not damaged.

Bob

 

[safetymom]

No I haven't heard. I am not sure if they left on Sat. or Sunday. I hope everything is ok.

I got home last night and it felt good to sleep in my own bed. I had an awesome time with all of you, what a wonderful vacation. I spent the morning in Downtown Disney yesterday and saw several of you doing the same. Hope everyone has a safe trip home.
