DAY NINE: The Trip Home

We managed to be ready for the luggage pick-up. We made one last stop at the resort gift shop where I bought a few things to be shipped home for Christmas gifts for the kids – one being the Cinderella’s castle for dd. We also bought thank you cards and gifts for those who kept our dog and got our mail for us. A driver from Tiffany Town car was waiting for us which was a little confusing as we had booked with Cartier. Thankfully he had both a booster and car seat for this trip. As we were pulling out, the driver we originally had from Cartier showed up for us. They talked between themselves and determined they had both been sent. Since we were already loaded in the first van, we went with him. The driver was very pleasant & polite. The van and car seats were in good condition & clean.

United curbside check-in was great. Security at MCO was more sensitive. They told dh & I to take off our shoes which we hadn’t done at Dulles. Dd’s little sandals actually set off the metal detectors so we had to take her shoes off. They handchecked my film again, but just looked at them – didn’t use the tests they had done at Dulles.

Our flights home went well, as did our drive. We were happy to see that Hurricane Isabel had not left much damage at our house. It was bittersweet to be back home knowing that our trip to Disney was over.

Hi

I very much enjoyed your trip report! Our kids are just a bit older than yours and we are planning on many of the same things you did. I was so glad to see that going to MK first didn't backfire for you (I hope it won't for us either!) and you enjoyed the character meals. I hope our trip is as magical as yours

I was sitting here at the DIS feeling a bit anxious about our trip. We are leaving on Tuesday, and we are driving from NJ. Yuk! I came across your trip report and now I am SOOO excited. We have a DS(4) and DD(5). What a great trip you had, besides the nosebleeds of course.

NOW, I cannot wait to get to POR to start our magical vacation!!

Wishing everyone a "magical" day!
