Because I'm the Boss Of You That's Why! Last day, HOP ONBOARD!!! Updated 12/11

I did my first load of laundry since the trip today and found my ticket from AK and a receipt for the yummy dipped pretzels from Goofy's Candy Co. in my pocket.....SNIFFLE, SNIFFLE :sad1: Made me miss WDW, but even more so, it made me miss the L family (for those who don't know, my trip to WDW coincided with my move across the country). I'm excited about this new phase in my life, but I sure will miss the everyday moments with my loved ones on the East Coast!! :guilty: Good thing I have some awesome Disney memories to carry me through 'til I visit in November :cloud9: (plus the secret going away card Leyla snuck into my luggage, which make unpacking a whole lot nicer! :hug:)
 
Hi all- we are home! It was a great trip that had alot of things packed into it. I have SO many pics to download and will start part 1 of the report tomorrow (I'll index it as well!) Suffice it to say I am (in the words of the great Cogsworth) baroque! :rotfl2: BUT I just had someone email me about the Bio so that that will help :thumbsup2 Boy this was ONE crazazy week so hold tight and we'll get going! I'm so glad Ecogirl got a chance to experience WDW with us and the rain was actually nice since we weren't sweating out bootays off.



Soooooooooooo:

Did the storm ruin anything?
Did we make EE?
What was Ecogirls favorite ride?
Did we make into Boma?
Did we like the AKL?
Did the kids last at Epcot? Did Pierre, for that matter?
What was the "Drink of the Week"?
How much DID we drink?
We spent how much extra on the cruise???!!!
Will we do it again?
What was the kids fav?
Did we like the Nick Hotel?

Check back and you'll see!

:hippie: out peeps, time to get the pics on my pc!

Can't wait to hear all about it, I am sure it was a very wet trip.

I can't get photobucket to work for me either!
 
Hey Leyla! I can't believe I just found your report. It's Melissa (BabieeMelly). I loved your first report and was so excited to see you're doing another one! And it looks like I made it just in time... welcome back! I can't wait to hear all about the trip. Hope you all had a good time!
 
Welcome home! Sometimes I think photobucket starts to act goofy on its end -- it may not be anything that you are doing...

HI and welcome home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yay: I hope you guys enjoyed the rest of the evening at the Nick and that your trip home was painless - wouldn't want to have wrapped up that great vaca with any airport drams :headache: ! I haven't loaded my pics yet, but maybe I'll try later tonight and let you know if I have any problems. I'll be waiting in the wings to add my input popcorn:: (not that you'll need it, but you know I'll have at least two cents' worth of nonsense to contribute :rotfl: ).

Love and miss you guys :hug: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hey, hey, hey my friends the time has come for me to write my report! Of course that means my beautiful trip has come to end end BUT all good things finish, right?

Just to recap we hit the road with my best friend of 26 years who is also a poster (by continuous bugging of your truly :thumbsup2 :rotfl2: ) Nah, she loves meh! She is Ecogirl BTW and will hop on to add her 2 cents, which I desperately need now...... Girlfriend is bah-roke! My dh is Pierre, dd Bella is 8 and ds Cooper is 5. They started school today, thank goodness. I went to Hard Rock Cafe for lunch with some other Mom's to celebrate our freedom :woohoo: They have the BEST quesedillas there, anyone tried them???!!!

Anyhoos, our fabu trip started at a fresh 3:30 am :eek: last Monday morning. Ecogirl was moving WAY outta state so she had to bring alot of her life with us. I think we were all a little worried whether or not all the suitcases would fit cause you know my butt overpacks but Pierre somehow managed it. We left the house around 4:20 am and got about 4 miles down the road and we hit a roadblock. Luckily it was an easy place to turn around and not lose time but there were an awful lot of police cars and firetrucks so I hope everyone was okay. We got to the airport pretty quickly after that although we had to endure ALOTTA constant chattering from Bella. Man that kid can talk!!!

We parked in the long term lot and jumped in the shuttle for the airport. Here's Ecogirl and Pierre

Bella and Cooper, last year we got a shot of them with the handpainted husky from our state college but he was missing.

Security was a breeze again and we got some snacks before heading over to the gate. Pierre stood in a seemingly endless line for some coffee while we grabbed some seats. I realized Cooper's backpack was missing :scared1: so I had to run back to Mickey D's and find it. I had visuals of someone alerting security over a suspicious Incredible Hulk backpack :lmao: Luckily it was there so I made it back in time for our gate to open although we were starting to wonder if Pierre would make it back with coffee. He did!

On the flight Pierre sat with Bella and Cooper sat with me and Ecogirl. Bella talks too much. WAY too much.

We were really worried about Fay and kept checking the weather before we left. UGHHHHH it looked horrible :sad2: and I was praying it would'nt hit us too bad. Ecogirl and I decided that since we were landing at 9:45 or so we may as well go to AK that day. We plotted out our strategy then relaxed listening to our I-pods.

First ride of the day: the MCO tram!!!

We made the walk to ME, I always get confused about where to go :confused3 but found it and checked in. We only had to wait about 10 minutes of so and jumped on the bus :cool1: :cool1: :cool1: Our driver was rather witty so the magic started right away. Ecogirl was rightfully worried about leaving her laptop in the hotels hands. I would be too if it were me so I totally understood.

Our first stop was the Pop Century resort and the kids thought it looked VERY cool! Not long afterwards they stopped at at Coronado Springs resort. I really wanted to stay there last year but couldn't get free dining if I did so hadta switch. Bummer cause I didn't care for CBR and thought CSR looks great! Maybe next time.... :)

NEXT!!! The Animal Kingdom Lodge!!!!! To DIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE! We pulled up and my heart flitted and fluttered, I snapped a quick pic of the front and when we ran inside I got one of the lobby
