Okay I am starting to write out my trip report at lunch. Here is day 1:
Saturday September 2, 2006: Traveling
Our vacation has finally begun. We woke up at 2:00am to get to my parents house by 2:45am so that we can all drive out to the airport together to save on parking expenses since we would be gone for so long. We get to the airport without a problem, quickly eat at McDonalds and board our plane. This is the first flight the girls have taken since they can remember, they were excited and nervous. Plane arrived in Orlando at 1:30 just like scheduled; the flight went by fast since the girls had to do homework. Went downstairs to catch the Magical Express, we didnt have to wait long at all to get on the bus. Unfortunately the bus driver was lost and took us all the way to Pop Century instead of All Star Resorts and had to turn around and take us to All-Stars. My parents took a town car so that they could have a grocery stop and get some Pepsi for me dad. They actually beat us to the hotel and were unloading from the van when we arrived. Getting off the bus we saw that Chriss family was eagerly waiting for us. My mom and I checked in while the rest of the crew went shopping at the gift store in the resort. We stayed in Toy Story by Buzz Lightyear and really enjoyed it.
Cousins shopping:
We had dinner reservations for Chef Mickeys and waiting for us was some DISers that we cruised with 2 years prior. We had a table for 10. Our cast consisted of me, Chris, Emily, Amanda, Karen, John, Brittany, Morgan, Rachel, and Fran.
Our hostess took us to the corner table near the windows and I had a growing concern about the birds that were congregating above us. The waitress assured us that the birds never cause any trouble, as soon as she got that out of her mouth a bird pooped on me, I was mortified. I took it in great stride and laughed with the others, but I was so disgusted. Chriss family commented on how well I took it. What made it worse was being an outsider and not having any of my family with me and this being the first day with Chriss entire family. Our waitress felt bad and asked what she could do, Chris jokingly said a round of drinks and a few minutes later she was back to take our adult drink orders that were on the house. She brought out all the kids Shirley Temples with Mickey straws and light up ice cubes, they were so cool. The food was good and the character interactions were great. The girls loved getting the characters autographs. I am sure I would have thought the food was awesome but with the bird poop incident I lost my appetite, the sundae spread was my favorite part. We planned to go to MGM after dinner, but MGM closed down early; so we decided to take a swim and head for bed from our long travel day. Found out today that Chriss brother, Jerry, would be joining us for the rest of our vacation at WDW. He arrived late Saturday/early Sunday morning.
Here is a picture of Amanda and I toasting to the bird for getting us free drinks and for me being a team player.
Can't forget about Minnie kissing on my man:

I don't know the area you are talking about but I get very nervous driving so I definitely feel your pain. I hope you had a relaxing evening.
I can't even blame it on PMS either. I just love cake.... 
But it is sweet to have such good news to make you feel better.
When we moved in to this house our camcorder was either lost or stolen (we are leaning towards stolen). It has almost a full year of videos on the tape.
