So sad to have your reports end...:( Cant ya make up a few more days for my reading pleasure! :)

I very much enjoyed sharing your family trip! Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all....(at the end anyway). I hate cab drivers that try and rip you off! I am glad you stood up and refused that rate!

Sounds like a terrific meal you had at Mythos. Gotta love their desserts! I for one would love to hear all about your upcoming Disney trip too! Make sure you stick around and give us all the details!

Thank you again for sharing your holiday with us, it was a very enjoyable read.
 
Thanks Jes for those kind words and yes Mythos was great we wanted to do all the things we missed last year as it maybe a while nefore we are back at USO as after Disney in Sept we are looking at Las Vegas, San Francisco & LA over 2 weeks just to see more of the states outwith Orlando
 
Gotta agree with the cab thing. Those guys can be quite the rip off artists.
 

Great trip report! I know it must of been upsetting to have your TA mess up things but it all worked out in the end. I can't wait to hear what you think of disney!
 
highlander, just got done reading all your trip reports! Sorry it started out so rough, and what a pain spending all that time working out the riff between your travel agent and the hotel!

Sounds like your wife enjoyed the spa! Did you remember to use the AP discount for that as well? :)

Did you ever try the banana cream pie at Tchoup Chop? It's our fave!

Wished we were there at the same time. You sound like our happy hour kind of guy!

I enjoyed your reports highlander and I'm glad you had a good time and got all your arrangements straightened out. I'm also glad you got to experience Mythos. I missed going there on our last trip and now my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy your reports.
