The Journey
Our trip was planned to leave Friday evening.I own my own business so I needed to have everything in-line before we could go.Did this happen? of course not.

Friday was a mess with work,seemed nothing wanted to go right.No need to bore you with the details of work, So we will skip to when I get home.Well after a busy day at work,I get home around oh 7 pm. Now mind you my wife wanted to leave around 6/6:30ish. So now we are already behind her schedule. Lucky for me all I have to do is pack my clothes(always wait till last minute),tidy up a few phone calls for work,then pack the car. No problem I jump right on it and have things ready by 8pm. The kids have been asking since 7pm "are we ready to go yet?" So now I finally say "Yes we are ready to go"

Upon driving onto Disney property I call my father whom we are meeting at the resort ( Saratoga Springs Spa and Resort).While talking to my father he said he would meet us at the resort not really saying where he was.So now just a short little drive over to our resort.As we are turning to enter the gates to our home resort who pulls in right behind us? yep my father,the timing was perfect. As we were at the gate and the attendant said welcome home we new we were officially there!!!!
Saturday afternoon/night
Ok now we are here,we park our car and everyone gets out to greet Pop and his female friend Kathy. Kids are are excited now and want to show Pop the resort.Didn't give him a minute to talk ,they just kept talking and talking.They were just so excited to see him.After about 15 mins of hellos we go and check in.I got my father and his guest a studio,And we will be staying in a two bedroom villa. We had requested the Grandstands and that's what we got (not the building we were hoping for ) but none the less the ones we requested.
