First Delswife report?

[Lark~]

Hey guys, I'm a huge fan of the delswife reports, and considering my fam and I are going to disney pretty soon, I thought I would like to read some to help me get "psyched up". HOWEVER, every single link I've tried to get to the first of her trip reports (I believe 2003 was the year??) says it's an invalid link and it won't work! I checked Badshoe, and I didn't see that one on there, and I'm at a total loss. *sniff* Any idea where I can find them?

I'll second that. I'd like to read it too. I THINK someone said they may have printed it out and have it saved to Word....vettechick, maybe?

Vettechick99 started a Favorite trip reports thread. I believe the report you want is on her first post...

Thanks for the links, they are great.

Unfortunately, vettechick's fave trip reports thread has the link to the 2003 trip, but the link is now invalid. On Delswife.net, there are only links to the 2004/2005 trips.

Thanks anyway though!

I think Delswife trip reports got stolen or used without her permission. She really don't post on here anymore. All her work on www.delswife.net is copywrited. So good for her, she is a great writer. Boo to the person that stole her stories.

GRRR! I enjoyed reading her reports and wondered why we hadn't heard anything from her in awhile. THAT SUCKS! Why would someone steal a trip report?

I tried the links...I'm thinking she may have this in a publisher's hands...which is where it belongs...I'd pay to have a copy !!!

She is editing the 2003 report and as soon as it gets finished, it will be posted on her site. Other reports and stories will be published there as they become available.

The 2003 report is being posted. Chapters 1-5 are up on her site. THere are also a couple of new stories there as well.

Way back when, I suggested, via e-mail, that she take it to a publisher when she first posted and gave her links to self-publishing on line companies. I had wanted to share this story with friends who just don't get a Disney vacation and she tells it so well. I sent her links to companies that allow, buyers to purchase on-line and have the book delivered to them, while she gets paid for her wonderful work. She said she was not ready for this at the time. So....

I asked and Robin, at the time, gave me permission to copy her posts to Word, they are word for word, no changes the version directly from the DIS in 2003. To allow me to share this with friend who was not on the DIS, and had not clue how to get on and navigate around. She was fine with this. I haven't even looked at it in over a year and a half, have been rereading on her site. Great work!

I can't wait for the chance to buy a hard copy of the her story to have to share and inspire others to travel to Disney. Robin is a wonderful story teller.
