Hi,
Well we are well and truly back. Arrived home about 9.30am on Saturday; and the kids were all back to school today, with DH back at work aswell.
Am I the only one who finds coming home so.... I don't know, grey?!
Our 11 days at OKW flew by, and we had a fab time after a bit of a shakey start. First time we had flown indirect, and it was a nightmare! We arrived at Gatwick armed with our boarding passes, (as we had booked in on line the night before) to be told our connecting flight from Philadelphia to Orlando had somehow been changed to the following day! Not a good start, and it went from bad to worse. I have written a complaint to USAirways, and are waiting to hear their response.
Anyway, we finally got to OKW, and I was really pleased to find everywhere wasn't as busy as I expected!
Highlights, for DH watching the shuttle launch from the bridge at OKW (we were all too tired so he went on his own); and his birthday; afternoon tea at the Garden View in the GF, and then dinner at TeppenEdo
DD's loved the show put on by the ugly sister's at 1900 Park Fare, and of course the shopping! DS loved the dessert party,(I managed to book it when it was extended) and the fireworks.
Me? I just loved being with my family in my favourite magical place!
Have some photo's to post later, and other stuff. Will leave you with this gem I heard from a little lad waiting to go into "It's tough to be a bug"
He was standing outside the doors posing in his 3-D specs for his dad to take a photo. Dad said "OK, fine" Little son responded " No Dad, I think I blinked!"
