Wow this thread did get buried fast on the forum. Down to page 5 already.
Sorry I kinda dropped you guys there. When we got home on the 18th (was that only 2 weeks ago?), it was cold and miserable. And the Ravens lost AGAIN!
I curled up in my bed for a few days, started on a trip report and made the mistake of telling my clients I was back in town (nah, I love 'em... they pay for my trips). Lots of work piled up, as you can imagine.
Then my bros started confirming that Dec trip I offered them last year. (They had till Nov 1 to accept or decline.) Between all the trip planning and adjusting (we're going a day earlier now), a SSR resale add-on I figured we'd need for future trips (I'm expecting more guests and we at least need a 1bedroom for ourselves), and work I've been just as busy this week.
But I'm up to Day 4 of the uncle/aunt leg out our trip. When I finish writing it up and gathering suitable pictures/video, I'll put it up for you guys to enjoy. My goal is to finish that by the end of next week.
It was great meeting the DISers we did (Corinne, who flagged us down Saturday at EPCOT and Pat from MD who kept stalking us through the F&W lines our last day in Disney, Thurs).
Grandpa Mohawk did make his stage debut at Festival of the Lion King. That was Wed (after we had sent the fam home). He really gets bummed if he doesn't visit AK once per trip. He's only kicking himself because he goofed. Instead of giving his famous nickname he used his boring real name (Bob). Still he was recognized later at EPCOT.
One tip for anyone thinking of going in October, do it. It was hot as Hades this year (mid-90's) but that's the first time it's been like that in the 4 years we've gone.
