Experiencing all kinds of troubles. Not a fun trip.

Everything that can go wrong is! The new bands are creating so many headaches and delays. Two hours in 3 different lines to pick up pre ordered memory maker. At least 10 -15 mintutes to get ride photos tied to band. Fast pass return lines long. Everest closed on magic hours morning. Rides and monorails broken down. Not having a magical time.

You can read about the bad parts of our trip below if you want. I know it's long- our trials & tribulations were many! DH, DD, DS and I all agree, we had the best vacation ever and I really wish we could go back (lost my job & am in school now). I hope things turn around for your trip. Look on the bright side, you could be at work (or doing homework like me)!

On our first full day, I was mad at my DH & the kids since we missed rope drop & the show at MK because they were goofing off. On the bus to MK, I decided I could ruin one more minute of our trip or I could turn my frown upside down (sappy, I know) and make the best of it. DH was so relieved I decided to change my attitude.

Before our first (and so far last) trip, I drank antifreeze (don't ask about this weird accident). My sister lost a check I had written for $700 to cash for her to deposit into my account. I spent the only 3 hours we had on the beach at Daytona trying to straighten this out with the bank- I had no idea of the check number. DS5 came up behind me while I was on the phone to the bank and poured an entire bucket of ocean water over my head and I was fully dressed. Our vehicle got stuck in the sand on the beach. The VERY kind guys who pushed us out used very colorful language which my DD (who was 10 then) still talks about. We were running late so I went to dinner at Chef Mickey's in the same clothes I got soaked in at the beach. I got very painful conjunctivitis and had to call my dr & go pickup an rx. The conjunctivitis was worse because I have lots of photo documentation- including a picture with Cinderella where she's all made up and I am....not (to say the least). I got blisters all over the bottom of my legs and my feet that I now know is called the Disney rash and has to do with the asphalt and heat. I had a hard time walking toward the end of our trip because of that. We never got to see the MK opening show despite my repeated attempts to get everyone up & ready. We only spent 3 hours in AK on our 10 day trip. We missed a few of our ADRs from exhaustion (yes, we cancelled them). It took us FOREVER to get home and we kept trying to stop and get a hotel to spend the night. We left at noon and didn't stop for the night until after midnight (when we were just 5 hours from home- but too exhausted to continue).
