Hi mamaprincess, and tinkspark too.
Glad you enjoy these oldies but goodies. They sure go a long way back, '98 and '99. As I said a few times in these TR's, I never thought they would take as much wording as I used, LOL, they just sort of took off. At the time I finished this one, part IV and ready to get on with our trip, I became a moderator on the community board and had little time for writing. I always intended to finish the trip part but never did. For future trips I resorted to picture threads (see links in my signature), which many here have enjoyed.
The trip itself was magical, we did so much. All the parks, all the parades, all the fireworks,
MVMCP, my daughter, Natalie's, 19th birthday, the Polynesian Luau, Illuminations cruise, a MK fireworks cruise, parasailing for the kids, Disney Quest, lots of character meals and great TS dining at night.
In one of these trip reports here, I spoke of the CM, Xenia, who upgraded us to lagoon view, my first experience with Disney pixie dust. When we checked in to the Polynesian, we were further upgraded to concierge. So for our first WDW trip, we had a concierge lagoon view at the Polynesian. What a wonderful trip it was.
I was bitten by the Mouse, and even though Marie enjoys Disney, she doesn't to the level I do. She has not been back, I have been back 15 times since, and looking to another in early May. Back in '04, I was pleased to have Natalie accompany me for about half my Dec trip, and we celebrated her 24th birthday there, not too bad for two trips, her 19th and her 24th, both as WDW.
Some day I might take the time to finish these but it sure would seem strange at this point, LOL.
I am happy to see these trip reports still have a life after all these years. And thanks for your nice comments.
Dan
