Katherine,

How did it feel to finally arrive home after being at WDW for so long?

Jennifer

Well let's see we stayed at OKW, BLT, and the Dolphin. Now the beds are comfortable, but I have quite a bed. After being away so long I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
I have to say we were ready to come home...
The trip was wonderful!!!
John is already talking about staying till new year's again next December.
I am not going to say no to this, but it will depend on his work.
The job he has coming up is supposed to start in April or May. It will last about 3 year's. He usually gets no time off during the first year of a job, but he is self-employed. If he wants to do this it may mean starting our vacation later as in coming in a few days before the cruise, rather than the 7-10 days prior that we are currantly planing on. We will also not have the time to drive as that would eat into his time off drastically. I am also figuring he will be ready for this vacation, as he will have to put in some very long days and weeks so he can be away.
Now that I have talked your ear off, let's just say it is wonderful to be home again. It's snowing here. I have not been outside yet and don't intend to go out today. I run around getting things done that needed to be done asap when we got home. So today is unpacking and putting everything away.
That would also include all the christmas decorations and hunt apparel that is piled up in my diningroom.

 

[katscradle]

Dodie I am feeling the same way!

 

[katscradle]

While I was sorry to hear that our gain was based on another’s loss. We are still thrilled about being able to join you on the adventure.

Jim & Linda
Lexington, Ky

Welcome Jim and Linda!

 

[DisneyKevin]

Hey folks....

Just a reminder that the final balance is due on your Adventure.

We need to finalize these plans...so if you haven't already done so....

please take care of your final payment asap.

Thanks.

(I hate doing that)

Kevin, I finally have both flights booked. Do you need to know the flight info or do I need to notify just Disney, or do you do that for me? Also, as I will be coming in early, will I just need to let you/Disney know that I need a ride from LAX on the 13th or do I need to dummy up a flight and say that I am coming in on that? I am flying into and renting a car at Burbank and will return the car to LAX on the 13th.

Hey, when do we get to know the details about the exploding head stuff? Are you holding out on us?

Hi Alissa,

Just email me the flight info and I'll take care of it for you.

John and I are doing the same thing with the car rental. I think we picked 12:00pm as the pick up time. If you'd like use that time, you can ride to the HRR with us.

As for the stuff we have planned....as usual...Disney is a bit slow in giving us a concrete answer. Cant share anything until I have confirmation. You know how that gies.

 

[Dodie]

I have family that lives in Nicholasville.

Oooh. A topic for Phillip and Kevin to discuss, or avoid, depending upon the respective families in question.

Ditto - (except we're flying into Long Beach)

My other thought - since driving into and getting around LAX is also head exploding stuff, but not the good kind I'm toying with the idea of turning the rental car back in in Huntington Beach and then taking a town car directly to the Hollywood hotel -
So my question to Kevin is: do you and or Dreams Unlimited have any experience with Town car service in California and can you make a recommendation for one????

The 12pm ride would be great. I am returning my car at 11am and that should give me plenty of time for the shuttle ride back to LAX and to gather all of my crap into a manageable pile.

I will email you all of my flight info when I get home from work (where I currently am and not doing what I am supposed to)...

Hi Marilee,

Let me get back to on this one.

I have to ask our agents that deal with Disneyland. I'm just not well versed in the details.

I'll let you know.

Posted on the new thread, we are interested if a double is still available.

Let us know what we need to do. Thanks.

Frank and Cathy

 

[winotracy]

Kevin, how do we set up a pick up at Grand Californian at the start of the Adventure? I saw it mentioned this in the FAQs.

Thanks!

Frank and Cathy

That would be so awesome...I hope you guys are able to squeeze in. It was great seeing you again at DAP!!

Now on to the important question.....how tense will it be at the homestead for the Eagles/Cowboys game?

I PMed Kevin before I even posted a reply to the threads, then I called Cathy to see if we could go, you have to have priorities. She said yes.

It would be great if we could squeeze in since it is also our anniversary on 4/14.

Regarding the Eagles/Cowboys (Cathy is a true Cowboys fan, and we live outside of Philadelphia), it will probably mean two separate TVs in two separate rooms on Saturday night so we can each watch and cheer without retribution from the other.

 

[skunkvette]

Just got off the phone with Kevin, WE ARE IN!!

Thanks again for the opportunity, it is going to be a blast!
