[kschafer]

A one hour delay at airport. Computers at pop were down so had a hard time getting our room but all requests granted. Up early today. Magic kingdom here we come!!

 

[anjalee6]

Glad that you made it safely! Hope you have a great time.

 

[sunny_stace]

I missed saying farewell because the computer wouldn't cooperate! But I hope things are going wonderfully and you guys are having a blast! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[Poolrat]

How on earth did I miss this?

I know, May !!!! May is my nuttiest month at work and this year was no different.


I missed your send off but I am glad the illness is gone and you are safe in Disney World. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing all about it when you come back.

 

[SoonerGirl]

Hope you all are having a wonderful time Katie!! Wish I were still in Florida, I sooooo did not want to come home. You need to work on Greg to take you on a cruise, it was AWESOME, I think you guys would love it!!

I can't wait to hear about your trip when you get back, I love the mix you have with all the down days, sounds fabulous!

 

[kschafer]

hey all, we are home at last!

Sorry I couldn't update more from our trip, I had really crappy coverage on my cell phone and the dis seems impossible to navigate on that touch screen Plus, I am not a great typist on that little touchscreen.

SO...overall, the trip was great!! It was hot (record high temps yesterday) and of course, June level crowds but with the full 2 weeks, we managed to tackle a lot of on our wanted list.

I enjoyed POP more than I thought I would and we ate WAY too much food I would have stayed longer if I could but Greg was tired of the crowds and the boys were starting to miss home so I had to come back with them

I will do my best to start the TR in the next couple days but I need to tackle the mountain of laundry tomorrow. We got home and I just left all the suitcases in the van, didn't even want to face that task tonight!

ETA: I just noticed my ticker rolled over and says I'm returning next June. What are the chances I will get a second birthday trip??

 

[Megablocks]

Welcome home! Loved following along on Facebook & I'm glad you guys had a great time!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Welcome home Katie!! I understand why you left the suitcases in the van - if you are anything like me, if they are in the house then they need to be unpacked and put away. I can not stand to have suitcases sitting around when we get home - doesn't matter how tired I am, the unpacking will be done before I go to bed. It's a sickness, I know.

 

[cdotla]

Hey Katie! Welcome home...sorry I missed the send-off, but can't wait to hear all about your trip!

 

[MeMom]

I'm glad you guys liked Pop. I was a little worried. Tackle that laundry and get some good rest.

 

[Happy Elf]

Sounds like you had a great trip! Here's a little to help with . Can't wait to hear about your adventures!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Welcome back! I can't wait to hear all about your two weeks of fun! Glad to hear you liked Pop and sounds like you have some delicious meals to tell us about!

I'd say that if the ticker says you're going back you should find a way to make it happen. DIS tickers have magical properties, you know.

 

[DisneyDoc5]

Welcome Home!!! Can't wait to hear about everything - including the food! Good luck getting unpacked, that is a ton of work!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Welcome home!!! I really look forward to it all! I enjoyed your FB updates. Sometimes the coverage in WDW is really sketchy when the crowds are higher. I always have trouble uploading too-until I get to my resort it seems.

I hope you are have found the floor in your laundry room by now.

They are now empty with MOST of the things now put away

Hey Katie! Welcome home...sorry I missed the send-off, but can't wait to hear all about your trip!

Glad you are hear for the good part

The boys absolutely were in love the moment we arrived. It really grew on Greg and I with only a couple minor annoyances. Our room location was great!

laundry caught up now

Oh we ate WAY too much food but most of it was great!

Magical distickers huh??? Daniel was in tears last night at bedtime when he asked when we were going back and I said I don't know (I could cry too)

Welcome Home!!! Can't wait to hear about everything - including the food! Good luck getting unpacked, that is a ton of work!

I didn't do as good as I should have with the food porn but there will be lots of discussion!

I suppose certain carriers have better coverage in different parts of the county and mine is more of a midwest one.

*******************************

Sorry no updates yet! Laundry is done at last, luggage put away and most other things brought home. While my refrigerator was mostly empty, I took the time to clean it all out before going to the store to fill it up again.

Now I am focused on Patrick's birthday party tomorrow. We went with a pool party to simplify things but I always make the boys cakes so I have that to prepare. We also need to go out today and buy stuff for goodie bags and a few other things. PLUS my SIL and niece/nephew will be coming and since we don't get to see them much, they will be spending a night or two so I have to return my house to a state that will allow that!

Please hang in there, I'll get this going in another couple days!

Nice to hear.

Daniel was in tears last night at bedtime when he asked when we were going back and I said I don't know (I could cry too)

Poor fella. We all know how he feels. At least for us, we never want to leave.

Please hang in there, I'll get this going in another couple days!

Don't worry about the report. We'll be here when you get to it. Heaven knows it takes a while to get back into the groove of real life, especially if you come straight back to a party and company. You'll probably get it started about the time we leave, so I can sit in my room at Pop and enjoy reading it late at night or early in the morning. What did your guys especially like at Pop? I can take a picture just for them. Do I have your phone number? You can PM me, if you want me to send them a picture. Unless it would be too painful. Don't want to upset them.

Welcome back Katie - I know you had a fabulous time and I can't wait to read all about it!!!!!!!

Yes, looks like I'll be getting this started while you are gone you lucky girl!! Hope your trip is as magical as always

The boys really liked the bowling pin pool but I'm sure would love any pics you want to send! I think you have my # but let me know if not.

*******************************

UGH! Seems like I haven't had a chance to start my summer vacation Our trip started the day after we finished at school. The day after we returned home, I started unpacking and working on laundry. The next 2 days I finished that job, cleaned the house and prepared for Patrick's birthday party.

Thought I would share...

The next couple days we had family visiting and today I had to go to work. I'm going to finish downloading pictures from the trip tonight and will start on the first update tomorrow.

I haven't forgotten you I promise!!
