**COMPLETED** Trip Report of the not Surprise trip to FTW changed to YC & ASSp

[debraW76]

Thanks for the comment. We are getting sooo excited.

Finished packing all of the tinkerbelle bags. 6 kids for 6 days was 36 bags! At one point princess Chi saw some of the trinkets we had been hiding and I came really close to telling her that I was tinkerbelle and Santa Claus. But then Grandma Rho rescued me my getting some more goodies for the kids to put in their bags. So now they are all set.

Also, Grandma Rho is getting us a night in Georgia on Friday so that we can leave earlier and divide up our driving.

Now we got ressies at CRT we need to cancel one or pay one out of pocket. Here is what we have:

• Saturday 1:10 at Cinderella's Royal Table (2 table service credits)
• Sunday late breakfast 10:40 at Hollywood and Vine with JoJo and Goliath - this one I could easily cancel as our gang is a little too old for JoJo. Plus that may interfere with our touring as I want to do TSM, TOT, RNR, and Mermaid before we eat.
• Monday morning breakfast at Kona Cafe and O'hana - we need to cancel one or both. My thoughts were to go eat breakfast then go to DTD for some shopping, or just sleeping in and hanging out by the pool. Or maybe just the girls go do breakfast and shopping? That night is when we are doing MNSSHP so I want to be sure we are well rested so we can stay up late.
• Tuesday- Early Dinner at Planet Hollywood - this will be after a day at TL. The kids really want to eat at PH so cancelling this one is out.
• Wednesday - Lunch at Tusker house - would like to keep this one too
• Thursday - Lunch at Coral Reef - would also like to keep this one as the kids are excited about eating underwater.

So I need to make a decision - do we cancel Hollywood and Vine and eat counter service that day, or do we cancel the breakfast on monday and sleep in, or do we keep both and pay one out of pocket?

You know what DD? I think you think too much about what we will be doing, and have kinda lost focus on the main thing which is............. HAVING FUN, FUN, FUN. But don't worry, Grandma Rho will make sure that happens. I do agree that the $320.00 is a bit much for the Illumination thingee, shoppingALWAYS sounds good to me, anytime, and if I wouldn't have to get a second mortgage on my home, I could probably pay for the meal(HOW MUCH?)that you said would be out of pocket(at least I think that is what you said) I still have to go out to the house and finish throwing things in my suitcases so you can get them this evening. Tracy couldn't work today cuz Haley is , she had to go to the schoolyesterday and get her. I can hardly wait until tomorrow, cuz we are leaving for WDW. Look out, here we come, WDW won't know what hit them! ! ! ! ! ! !

 

[debraW76]

I do not think too much about what we will be doing. I just know my family. With 5 little ones (plus Nu is 6 kids) you have to plan for things just to make it easier. I know what they need before they need it and that is why I spend so much time preparing for our trip. I know how much of one activity they can take before we have to change gears and do something else. If it was just Zeta and me, then I probably wouldn't plan nearly as much and I would just shoot from the hip. But with little ones you can't go to the world without somesort of idea of what you want to do.

I have to have a plan A and also a plan B if plan A isn't working. If I already know what to expect then it takes a lot of stress off of me. Plus, the kids like knowing what to expect and the more I can prepare them the more behaved they seem. For example, I now know that we have a ressie at Cinderella's Royal Table at 1:10. What that means is that I need to make sure they get a snack around 10 or 11 so that they are not starving by noon and all crying that they are hungry.

Plus, We are only there for 6 days and i want to make the most of this vacation. The last thing I want to do on our trip is sit around and go 'what do you want to do now?',
"I dont know, what do you want to do?"
"Oh, just whatever, I don't care.",
"Well, are you hungry",
"Yea, I am a little",
"Do you want to get something to eat"
yea, i guess
ok, where?
I dont care, where do you want to go?
Oh, I don't care, do you want a burger?
No, we had that yesterday, what about pizza?
Pizza? no my reflux is acting up.

See, that just took 5 minutes. Now if we had done that in the World, that would have been 5 minutes of our vacation time wasted. Plus could you imagine having that conversation while Omicron and Chi are fighting, Alpha is climbing something, and Delta is running around in circles, nobody know where Nu is, oh, and guess what, baby Tau is crying and needs to be changed again, too.

Plus, do you know why ADRs exist? It is because you can't just walk up to any restaraunt and be served. The waits without an ADR are sometimes 2 hours. And that is if, they will even take your name down. Last year we tried several places and were told they were full and could not accomodate us.

Just like I was waiting to get that table at CRT, I am sure there is someone else out there that is waiting to get a table at Hollywood and Vine or O'hana. For that reason, the polite thing to do is to decide which one(s) we want to keep and if we know we do not want one, then go ahead and cancel so that some other family can have it.

Think too much about what we will be doing?????? Are you crazy? This is Not just about the dining, but the rides too. Again, I know my family. If I didn't have a plan they would be going "I want to ride this" while another said "I want to ride that". And guess what, this and that are on two opposite sides of the parks. Then whichever you decide not to do next, that person has a complete meltdown that not even ice cream can fix. Trust me, I tried it this way and that is what happened. Instead if I have a plan and they ask to do something I can say "Yes, I want to do that too and we will after this, or we will this afternoon, or we will on Thursday" that way they know they will get to do whatever it is that they want to do and I am not telling them no.

Honestly Mom, sometimes I have no idea how i wound up with OCD when no one else in my family even understands the neccessity of the disease.

I hope you have a great time!

Trip report after ?

 

[daisyduck7]

Alright, already, just so some one is in charge. I don't know which gene you got it from, either, but I'm sure glad you did. Yep, this is going to be one fun trip, can't wait to get started. Speaking of snacks, i got the peanut butter we were talking about. I am about to run out to the house to finish up. I'll talk to you later. Bye, love you.

 

[debraW76]

I hope you have a great time!

Trip report after ?

I am planning on a trip report. That is if we survive and make it back.

 

[daisyduck7]

WOO HOOO ! Today is the day we leave for WDW I still have what seems like a gazillion things to do, and not enough time to get it all done. And I still have to carry my sweet Missy to G J's for boarding. They just love her and she loves staying with them. I can't wait to get to our destination tomorrow at the YC. I sure hope they let me drive the ship !!!!!!! I need to go for now, but I shall retun with a trip report for every one to read

 

[debraW76]

Friday, October 10th.

The plan was for all of the kids to ride the bus to my mom's office and my sister bring Nu there as well. Zeta and I meet mom and all the kids there and leave for our trip around 4. So that was the plan. Here is what actually happened.

The school calls Zeta at 2:30 because Alpha didn't know what bus he was suppose to get on. I call my mom's office and talked to my cousin and said please call me as soon as the bus runs because I wanted to make sure everyone got off the bus.

I leave work at 3:30 and before I could get to the daycare to pick up baby Tao my cousin calls me back and says that only Alpha and Chi got off the bus . I called my niece who lives down the street to see if she can go to the house because I think they are getting off the bus at home. She says she is standing in the shower and can't leave and she is the only one home. Before I could finish my panic attach the school calls and says that Omicron and Delta are waiting for me in the office and I had to pick them up immediately. Well I am 20 minutes from their school so I am rushing to get to the school. My mom calls and luckily she is right by the school so I get her to pick them up for me.

Since I am almost home at this point, Zeta and I decide to just meet there and leave his truck at home for the week instead of at mom's office. (Besides I forgot my camera and had to go back to get that). Zeta and I then drive to mom's office where we meet Chi and Alpha . Mom brings Omicron and Delta to her office and My sister brings Nu . We pack all the bags in the van, buckle all the kids up and tear out.

We look in the van and do a quick headcount:
Grandma Rho -here
Zeta -here
Mu -here
Nu -here
Alpha -here
Chi -here
Omicron -here
Delta -here
Baby Tau- Baby Tau?????
Oh no , in my haste to get to the school to pick up the boys I forgot baby Tau.

So we drive to the daycare. Pick Baby Tau up. Make everyone go potty. Then we hit the road (again) an hour behind schedule

I'm not sure what it was like that week where you live, but here there has been a massive gas shortage and guess what. That's right I was low on gas. It's all well though because we live less than an hour from Georgia and Georgia has gas At least before you get to Atlanta. Plus it is about $0.50 per gallon cheaper. So we cross the state line and stop to get gas.
The kids seem content with the snacks we brought them so we get the grown ups a bite to eat and finally, FINALLY, drive to Valdosta where we stayed the night.

Before you ask, yes I did send a note to school explaining where the kids were to get off the bus but somehow it didn't make it to the office. And also, no I didn't really forget my baby. I knew I had to get to the school and we would be driving by the daycare to get to the interstate anyway so I intentionally left him there for an extra hour.

Day 2

 

[marshmallow]

I had been wondering how your trip went and was hoping for the report.

I am sorry to hear about the gasoline situation. Hope that wasn't too much of a problem.

 

[daisyduck7]

Well, we survived our trip, had loads of fun, but I don't know if Orlando and WDW will ever be the same. I have bunches and bunches of photos(about 410 in all), but I don't know how to post them on the net,,so I will get DDto do that for me ASAP. . I picked them up yesterday and haven't even had a chance to look at them yet. I really, really enjoyed WDW this time, I think more than the other times I have gone. I did more this time, like Animal Kingdom, and Epcot. WOW,how neat were those places. It was my first time for those two, and I was about like a kid at Christmas with the nose against the plate glass windows. I didn't ride all that many rides, but that's okay, because I love the shows. "Festival of the Lion King" in AK was awesome. Another thing, if I wasn't ready to leave when DDand all the gang was running out the door, I rode the Disney bus to whichever park we were going to, let them do the driving, and got dropped off almost at the gate, then I could meet up with the others for rides or for a meal, then ride a bus back to All Star Sports. While we were at the Yacht Club, we rode one of the boats over to MGM Studios. That was fun, and all the younguns' enjoyed that. I think the last two days all 9 of us got on the bus at different times. The poor drivers will probably have to be in therapy for a while. Well, got to get back to work for a while. Talk to everyone later. Keep inn touch.

 

[debraW76]

Saturday, October 11
Saturday morning we woke up early and ate the continental breakfast at the hotel. The coffee was yucky! but the kids had cereal, muffins, and fruit. Plus we filled up all the sippy cups we had with milk, trying to squeeze every penny out of our stay. Baby Tau was convinced that the bagels were doughnuts and would not stop asking for one. Sometimes the only way to teach our children is to let them have exactly what they ask for. So I gave him one. After one bite he handed it bag and said 'no doughnut mommy'.

We packed up, loaded up, and was on the road again by 8.

We drove for a couple of hours then stopped at McDonald's for our second breakfast where mom and I got real coffee. Folks, if you haven't tried McDonald's coffee in a while you should. It is really good. It is not the same gas station coffee they used to sell.

We hit the Florida Turnpike and in no time at all we are at the yacht club
Now I knew this was a luxury resort and you can tell as you drive up and take your first look at it. However, when Zeta and I got out of the car and started walking to the door we were met by a CM who personally welcomed us. I mean she actually knew us by name! She even inquired where the little ones were as she knew we had two children on our ressie She escorts us to the front desk and tells the lady behind the front desk who we are and that we are checking in.

While we were waiting on her to finish checking us in we looked around and admired the lobby of the YC. It was beautiful. They had a large navagation globe (probably 4 foot in diameter), beautiful furniture, and the smell.... Oh, the smell. They had a fragrance of something like fresh ocean breeze / clean linen... Oh i can't even describe it! I wish I could put a scratch and sniff here and I would let you smell it.

She told us our rooms were ready and gave us our keys and room assignments and I noticed that the numbers were very far apart so I inquired just to make sure that they were connecting rooms. She said they were not and that they didn't have any connecting rooms as they were completely filled because they were having an insurance convention. I then explained that Disney reservation had already moved us to the yacht club for part of our stay because we needed connecting rooms. She worked on it for a few minutes then went to get her manager. She came out and shook my hand and said she would find us something. After a few more minutes she came back and explained that she found us connecting rooms, but we would have to be downgraded from preferred to standard view but she would be happy to reimburse me the difference. I tried not to laugh and said that no refund would be necessary we just needed connecting rooms.

The reason this is funny to me is because apparently she had no idea how little we were paying for this room to begin with. In fact I have no idea how we were down for preferred as we never requested preferred, just connecting.

Anyway, she said we had two connecting rooms on the first floor but they would not be ready until 3. She would call and give us the room numbers when they were ready so that we could go on to the parks.

In the meanwhile I gave Zeta instructions to leave all of the bags that we needed for the YC with luggage services so we would have room to pick up the stroller. What I didn't tell him is what bags would be needed for YC and which ones could stay until we checked in at AS Sports.

We load up the van again and head to POP to pick up the stroller we 'rented' for $15. I love the disboards! Here I found how a stroller swap works and instead of paying $31/day for a disney stroller we had one for the whole week for only $15. POP's luggage services had no problems finding our stroller and within a few minutes we were back in the van... but only to discover we left our theme park bag with luggage services at the yacht club. So we headed back to the yacht club and picked that up. While I was getting that I saw the bag that had all of their tinkerbelle goodies so I grabbed the bags for MK.

For those not familiar with tinkerbelle bags these are small goodie bags filled with treats left by tinkerbelle herself. Each day that the kids go to one of her themeparks, she leaves them some goodies to take to the parks with them. Their tinkerbelle bags had some candy, gum, glow sticks, and pirates of the carribbean eye patches ​

Finally, we drive to MK and head straight to Cinderella's Royal Table where we eat a late lunch. (complete review to follow). While we waited to be called we sent Zeta out to get FP for Space Mountain.

Once inside we met Cinderella and had photos taken. My niece Nu did not want her photo taken and said that the flashes hurt her eyes. We forced her to pose for one group photo but she still turned her head so that her hair was covering her face.

I was a little concerned about the boys not having fun since it was a princess meal. But they all had a blast. The swords were a hit and Delta and Alpha even got autographs. More pictures and a few thousand calories later we left and headed to Tom Sawyer Island in Frontierland. Before getting on the raft I got us FP for Splash Mountain. We let the kids play for a while then took the raft back across.

We headed to Adventureland and rode Pirates of the Carribbean, Saw the Enchanted Tiki Room, Walked through the Treehouse and got FP for Jungle Cruise. We then headed back up to Frontierland and Mom stayed with the baby while we rode splash mountain.

Then we took the train to Mickey's Toontown Fair and walked to Space Mountain. Again mom stayed with baby Tau and Delta while we rode Space Mountain. This was the highlight of Omicron's trip. He wanted to ride Space Mountain since we were there last year and he was an inch too short.

The fireworks started so we got a snack and watched then headed back to our room to unwind.

We stopped at the front desk and got our room numbers and walked down the long corridor. Then we turned and walked down another long hallway. Man, I wish I hadn't left the stroller in the van. We turned again and continued walking down several more loooooong hallways until finally we found our rooms.

Our two rooms were exceptionally clean and very spacious. One room had a queen bed and a sofa and the other room had two queen beds and a sofa. Zeta and I took the room with the one bed and the rest of the gang took the other room. We got our luggage brought up and got ready for bed. Exhausted, all of the children went right to sleep.


Cindy's Table

 

[debraW76]

Cinderella's Royal Table​

We had an ADR for 1:10 PM on Saturday, October 11. We arrived at the podium over an hour late. I apologized for our tardiness and asked if there was anyway we could be worked in still. The hostess was very friendly and said of course but there would be a 15 minute wait.

So we wandered some shops and got FP for Space Mountain. In 15 minutes we returned to the podium and she gave us our admission ticket to enter the castle.

Cinderella was on her throne greeting guests to her castle, posing for pictures and giving autographs. We lined up behind the other 2 or 3 families. Since we had 9 in our party we got 3 photo packages which includes a 5x7 photo with Cindy and the castle plus four smaller photos of the same pose with Cindy. After signing the kids autograph cards, we posed for our three photos and made small talk with the princess. Then we took a seat in the waiting area and admired the interior of the castle. The castle waiting area had ice water which was very refreshing. Everyone had time to visit the restrooms and washup before our name was called to be seated.

We rode the elevator to the second floor dining room and was seated in the main dining area. When we made our ressie we were told that they could not guarantee our party was seated together. So we were thrilled to see that we were. We were seated in the main dining area. Our waitress seated the children on the outside and the adults on the bench seat so that when the princesses came out they could get autographs easier. She handed each of us a menu and explained that the 2 year old would receive a bowl of pasta and butter, dessert, and drink. Each child would receive an appetizer of either a salad or soup, a child's entree, and an ice cream sundea for dessert. Each adult would likewise receive an adult antree, choice of dessert, and drink. Plus each table would receive an appetizer plate.

We were a little dissapointed that they didn't have coke zero. They did have diet coke which is not the same thing. Zeta got diet coke, I got iced tea, and Mom got water and she brought a mixer that turned it purple.

The appetizer had a variety of italian meets, pesto, another relish of sorts, peppers, and a few vegetables. Zeta liked the pepperoni or salami or whatever it was.

I ordered the Major Domo's Favorite Pie and it was delicious. It is shredded beef in a brown cabernet sauce with vegetables layered with mashed potatoes in a very delicate, flaky pastry shell. Then there was a light cream sauce drizzled on top. Yummm! I wanted to lick my plate but somehow managed to restrain myself. Zeta got the Focaccia Sandwich. He said it was so-so. The kids all got either chicken noodle soup (which none ate because it had vegetables in it) or a salad (which Chi loves). And for their entree either hot dogs or chicken. The hot dogs looked dried out but none of the kids complained. The chicken looked like the chicken you can get in the parks at the counter service places but let's face it - are you really here for the food or the princesses?

Speaking of princesses...While we were eating the princesses all came out and visited among the tables. Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, and Snow White. They each signed autographs and posed for photos. They were all so beautiful and charming. The girls were both given a wand and the boys were given swords which pretty much spoiled the rest of the dinner.

Off Topic:: While we were waiting on dessert Baby needed a diaper change so I took him downstairs out to the stroller to get a diaper. I decided to use the assist bathroom downstairs since they had the changing table. We went in and I laid him down and turned on the water to wet a napkin and the toilet flushed. I thought that was weird. When I was finished I turned the water on again to wash my hands and the toilet flushed again. So then I just had to test it and sure enough whenever you turn the water on in the downstairs bathroom in Cinderella's castle the toilet flushes.

Back upstairs they brought us our dessert. I had the Chocolate Cream Cheese Buckle and again it was wonderful. I ate about half when my clumsy self dropped the other half on the floor!!! My sweet husband shared with me his other half because he knew how much I was enjoying my dessert. I love him!!!

After all was done I turned to my husband and said so hon, what do you think of free dining? He was just as impressed as I was.


Pictures

 

[daisyduck7]

Well, good afternoon all you Disney fans all over the world! It is time for my latest input to our wild, wild trip Here is a hopefully not too boring, some what detailed report of our trip. Now, I said there were photos, and there are, but I still haven't figured out how to get them posted here, so DD is going to have to do that later. We all had such a good time every where we went , and we're lovin' every minute of it. Even Omnicronis really having a good time, and riding all the things he was too short to ride last year. Baby Tau thought he was as big as all the others .I especially loved watching him when the girls would get up to dancein the restaurants and he would get up with them. All the food at the different locations was really good, and the atmosphere was fabulous. That was a really smart move on my brilliant DD's part. There is just absolutely no way, no how that we could have just come up with the money to eat at all those places. She was a genius to have cut the deals that she cut. Well, got to go again, and close up, go put cold things away, go pick up more medication, go to my other daughter's house for a while tonight. See you on the flipside later. Bye, now. I'll be checking here again tomorrow to see if anyone has read these reports.

 

[debraW76]

Sorry - I am trying to add some photos so it wont be so boring. I have issues with posting photos of my children but will look for some that don't show their faces too clearly. Maybe this weekend??

 

[pjzkent]

You might see if DD (not sure which letter she is) can set you up with a photobucket account with a password, and you can post the password in your trip report (to cut down on totally random people looking) to just let random people reading your trip report in......

Pin trading....my kids love it. You might try mousepinsonline dot com to get pins, we ordered a grab bag for traders, and they were much cheaper than ebay, and easier to acquire. Also, there is a pin trading part of the disboards that has a lot of info too. I think it is down toward the bottom of the main page.

I might have to get ambitious enough to write my own trip report

Thanks for all your work on the stroller swap, it was probably the best $15 I spent for Disney

Can't wait to read more

 

[debraW76]

I will go ahead and add some photos of our first day. Sorry - I wont put any clear pics of my children on here.

Some of our crew co-piloting the monorail. Riding upfront on our first visit to MK I think has become a tradition now.

The rest of the gang

Grandma Rho

In the castle main dining room getting Jasmine's autograph

And this is alpha

Day 3-Hollywood Studios

 

[debraW76]

On Sunday we woke up bright and early, got dressed, and took the boat over to Disney's Hollywood Studios. It was foggy early in the morning but here are some pics of the boat doc from the YC of the board walk.

The light house at the boat dock.

and a foggy baby Tau

We arrived at the studios before they opened. Had to stop at guest services to add some days to Grandma Rho's and Nu's tickets. Once inside the park we divided up. I would take the kids and Grandma to Toy Story Mania and get us a spot in line while Zeta got FP for Tower of Terror. Well, Grandma got, err, confused and followed Zeta instead of me. Zeta was walking so fast that Grandma Rho had to stop and rest. So Zeta caught up with us and the line to Toy Story Mania was posted at 45 minutes by the time he got there with the FP. We only waited for 30 though and it was worth every minute.

TSM had to be Delta's favorite ride. Baby Tau loved it too; he didn't wear the glasses but he loved pulling the string. On our first ride I scored 110,000 points. I told the kids it was only 10,000 though because they all wanted to beat me. The big kids got between 10-45 thousand. The kids wanted to ride it again but by then the line was over an hour so instead we went to TOT. Grandma Rho sat with Delta and Tau while we rode TOT. All last year Omicron said he would not ride it again but at the last minute he changed his mind and I think he is glad he did because he did enjoy it. A few screams later we got a treat and then headed to Mermaid. We probably should have returned to the room then, but I really wanted to see Mermaid so we waited about 25 minutes for the next show. The boys did not enjoy it at all but I think the girls liked it.

After that we returned to the room for a much needed break. We took the kids to Storm Along Bay and played in the water. Tau hates swimming pools but he warmed up to the sandy bottom pool area and before you knew it he was running and splashing and laughing. It was great.

After cleaning up we headed back to the studios. This time Rho stayed behind for some much needed rest. We arrived back at the studios and headed to backlot express for a bite to eat. Zeta had the kids seated at the table while I got the food. This is when I figured out that on the dining plan, the counter service credits are listed as just counter service credits - not child or adult. Meaning since the kids were not with me in line I just ordered what we needed and they counted our credits without any problems. This was wonderful since some wanted hotdogs and for some reason hotdogs are not on the kids menu. Others wanted chicken and when I said I wanted a chicken meal the CM didn't ask if it was for an adult or child and she brought me an adult meal for those as well. Total we used 8 credits, we all were filled from the meals, and we saved our desserts for later.

After dinner, we played with the AT-AT,

Then used baby swap to ride Star Tours. The baby swap on Star Tours works out so that the kids all get to ride twice. First they rode with Zeta while I sat with Tau, Then the kids remained seated while I handed Tau off to Zeta, told him of the dirty diaper he had then I got to ride with the kids while Zeta did diaper duty. So it worked out really well for me
BTW, we walked on star tours.

Then we headed to Muppets. The streets were completely empty and we took our time looking at all the street scenes. We again walked onto Muppets. We watched in a nearly empty theatre.

Then we used FP to ride Toy Story again! THis time I scored 115,000 and that was with Tau helping me!!! But Zeta beat me this time as he had 140,000 something

Then we headed to sunset blvd and divided up again. Zeta took Alpha, Chi, and Nu to ride Rockin Roller Coaster while I reserved us seats for the second showing of Fantasmic! The arena was half full when we arrived and I got what I thought was good seats only I didn't realize that the huge beam was in our way. It was still pretty good seats but occasionaly you had to lean to the left or right to see mickey. Also we were really close to the front and there was a continual spray in our face. Would have been nice if it was hot, but it was actaully cool that night.

Meanwhile Alpha changed his mind at the last minute so the girls rode by themselves. Zeta and the bigger kids found us about 3 minutes into the show. The rest of Fantasmic was incredible! Bad seats or not, it was still an awesome show. I love this show almost as much as Illuminations. I made this a priority because as I understand they are cutting back on the number of shows starting in January. Meaning if we go back, we may not fight the larger crowds to see it. So I wanted to be sure my family saw it this time.

There would be more pics but none of Fantasmic came out - they are just black with some obscur UFO looking lights. maybe next time I will remember my tripod.

Day 4 - MNSSHP

 

[daisyduck7]

Well, my DD,Mu, did finally get some photosposted here. Aren't we having just the absolute best time? There are BUNCHES more where those came from. I wish I knew how to do that. But, this old dog is learning new tricks every day about how to do things here. I surely do love these Disboards . It just makes it that much more exciting, and you get to re-live the experiences over and over again. Does any one know if there are disboards for Gatlinburg, Tn., or the Dixie Stampede? I KNOW that nothing is as good as WDW , and this is my favorite place to come to now. Hey, every one, I got a card in the mail yesterday, wanting me to go to their website, and take part in a survey about the AS Sports, and our stay there. Have any of you ever participated in one of those? Would any of you let me know if you have ? I'm looking forward to hearing something from some of you. Wells, I have to go for now, but I'll be back tomorrow. I can't wait to see more pictures on here of my family, and the other families that there now, or will be going in the next few weeks. I am already looking forward to our next trip . There is just so much more that I want to do next time. And for my money, I will be staying inside one of the resort Themeparks somewhere, and using the Dining Plan, and their buses for transportation to and from places. , even to the Water Park.

 

[daisyduck7]

Well, I am beginning to wonder if everyone has gone to WDW and left me behind. I was hoping there would be some comments since our trip reports and the few photos that DD,Mu,has posted. I tried to respond to pjzkent's comments about the pin grab bags, and pin trading part on the disboards, but like I said, I am still learning how to do a lot of these things . All the photos that I had downloaded on my computer and put in a file?....... well, they seem to have just disappeared like magic into cyberspace . Oh, well, maybe I can try again later. Got to go for now, I need another cup of caffiene to get my eyes on the correct sides of my head Our Trunk - A - Treat was at my chuirch last night, and it took me a while to wind down. I just love seeing all the kids in their costumes. We fed them hot dogs, chili, gave them all kinds of candy, let them play on an inflatable moon bounce, and an inflatable obstacle course and then sent them home with their parents Talk to ya'll later, bye now
