The Cast
Jackie (36) Disney addict and chief organiser - Could sit in Disney all day watching the world go by if the kids would let me
Brian -DH (39) Shares my love of Disney and works very hard all year to fund our obsession - Doesn't do rollercoasters and not fond of flying but loves BTM.
Molly -DD (7) Collects pins and cuddlies. Always has a soft toy under her arm. Loves Star Tours and Phantom Manor
Lewis- DS (5) The whirlwind of the family. Loves Pirates and BTM - cant wait to go on Crush
Granny - Kids love their Granny to come with us and we have a built in babysitter
Granda - Great for taking the kids swimming and he comes on the coasters with me
Auntie Rosie - Rosie is my Auntie and has never been abroad before.
Well already it was our last day. We woke about 8.30am and went down to breakfast. The hotel was very busy this morning and a bit chaotic. I left the kids playing with DH and went back to the room to finish packing lol. I went via reception just to ask if any of the cases that were still missing had turned up and low and behold one had - my auntie Rosies. The smile on her face to see it again was a fantastic sight although 7 days too late. Checked our luggage into the Explorers lockers and left Granny,Granda and Rosie in the hotel while we popped into WDS.
First stop was Cars and Flying carpets then we went over to The Art of Animation
Molly the Artist
Lewis playing the animation games
We then had a good look through the shops and went for lunch in Studio 1 which was hamburger and chips which is one thing I wont miss
By this time is was 1.30 and we had to make that painful last shuttle bus back to the hotel. We grabbed a coffee and the kids ran about until BS transport picked us up at 3pm to take us back to the airport.
Arrived at the airport to meet a huge queue as some BA machinery had brocken down
We waited and waited and eventually after being shifted about we got checked in. DH tried to speak to someone at BA about the two cases that were still missing but was told to speak to Heathrow. Boarded and the flight was uneventful although the prospect of DH squaring up to a BA member of staff was filling me with dread 
We landed at Heathrow and the first desk DH went to the man behind the desk said it was not his job blah blah blah and he was so rude my dad lost his temper a bit
. Dragged them away and did our terminal transfer as we were short of time but when we arrived at regional departures our flight back up to Aberdeen was delayed 2 hours. Off DH went to the girl sitting behind the BA desk but wont bore you with the details. The matter was not resolved anyway. We got back into Aberdeen just before and had to fill in the missing baggage claims and headed off on our 60 minute drive home.
On a whole the holiday was spoilt by not having our cases but it did go to show me I pack way too much anyway
Highlights
The Cars ride
The new parade
The kids dancing with Mickey at cafe Mickey
The Lucky Nugget Saloon
Lows
No luggage
The crush for Crush Coaster
the queue jumpers
As for the missing cases they were both found. One was destroyed by BA as it had glass smashed in it. The second was returned a week ago to my mum. Everything in it was wet and mouldy - I think it sat out on the runway for 2 weeks. BA has refunded us all our out of pocket expenses and have compensated my mum for her ruined clothes.They have also given us a very generous voucher for flights which will more than help out with our flights to WDW next year (hopefully) - amazing what you can get done when you get Willie Walshs' email address
Heres to the next trip
