I was just saying thank you for writing your TR. SO told me I should read it... But I am not nearly as OCD as SO is. I look forward to reading your other TR.

TwinkieMama, I just read all 17 pages - my DH is expected home any minute and I'm sure he'll wonder why I have mascara running down my cheeks - great TR from days gone by - BTW what did your DS wind up getting as a souvie? did I miss it? - off to read your new TR

 

[TwinkieMama]

Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words.

As to "what did DS actually get for his souvie?"


We forgot. What kind of people go to Disney World and forget to buy stuff?
Twinkies.

We ended up having too much fun to shop and after the fireworks we were intent on just getting out of the park together. We also forgot to eat dinner. So we came in under budget for our first Disney vacation.

What a wonderful trip report. It sounds like you enjoyed yourselves in one day probably more than many non-dis-ers do in a week or more. Your son sounds like a treasure. I am imagining my trip this year with my 4 year old, and wonder if he will be more like jimbob than your son. Sounds like you have some beautiful memories. Thanks for sharing.
I need to go to the store and buy some twinkies now.

I've been reading your second TR and when I got caught up with that, I went to this one and read it in one sitting. Noticed this was the eighth anniversary of your daytrip. You are an amazing writer and deserve all the accolades you've gotten. A side note, I saw DHR five times over ten years and four times, Miss Kitty sat on my lap and sang. I never got a hat, but the lipstick she left on my face didn't come from a stamp! The one year she didn't use me the prospector had already stopped by for a chat. I guess the fact that I'm 6'2", 270 with a ponytail and full beard makes it highly likely I'll get picked out of a crowd. But why would I look like this if I didn't want attention.

Thank you. I greatly enjoyed your TR. Everyone around me thinks I've lost it as a chortle and giggle over my computer, but I enjoyed every minutes.

Just got around to reading this report today. I really enjoyed it. Mostly because the beginning reminded me of DW and myself.

We were together 5 years before we had to stop worrying about how we were going to pay the next months bills. She was working and supporting us while I was in school. There were many occasions when we had to decide if we were going to buy groceries, put gas in the car, or pay the electric bill.

Our first trip to WDW together I was determined to stay on property. My sister was a CM, and we got a GREAT rate at CSR (I still had to get a temporary night job to afford the trip). No money for food, however. We drove from Kentucky with a small refridgerator and a hot plate in the car. We at all but 2 meals in our room during 5 nights.

Looking back it seems hard, but at the time I don't remember it being all that bad.

Thanks for sharing your memories, and letting me remember a little more clearly some of mine.

Now, on to part 2.

Thanks so much for sharing your magical trip with all of us. Of course, my dishes are not done, my laundry is not folded, and my daughter just gave me a list of things she still needs before leaving for college next week. And yet....I am about to read your next TR

You really do write well

 

[byoung]

Love your report.

 

[miste76]

Just read the entire report!!! Loved it!!! Now I must go and read the next TR!!!!

 

[mikayla73]

Great trippie! Like the others I am off to read the rest

Wow. I never, ever read trip reports, but somehow I ended up here and I couldn't stop reading. Several tears were shed. When are you going to have the next report up? I can't wait.

Reading your report, I'm thankful as well that my father was interested in Disney (more the making of the park and the retail end of it all) because we weren't well off. He drove us from Boston to WDW several times in our young life and I remember every mile of Rte 95 before the current highway was built. That was a long, long car ride. I remember our first trips to MK and Epcot in detail. Both my parents are now deceased, but somehow the Disney magic rubbed off on me.

After we'd been married 10 years or so my DH had a conference near WDW. He'd been to WDW with his parents....but they weren't all that impressed and he wasn't too excited about that part of the trip. I did all the planning using Bob as my guide and DH and I with our young DD's had a wonderful trip (they were then 4 and 2). They don't remember it, but we do. We couldn't wait to get back there. I remember being very thankful that I had married someone who appreciated Disney as much I do. We had such wonderful later trips that we ultimately bought into DVC because we just can't get enough WDW.

Funny that some take to the pixie dust and others don't. I told my sis today that we would be at WDW for Thanksgiving and she laughed that "not again" kind of laugh. My DH hasn't even told his family yet. My friends won't understand either. My kids however, 17, 15 and 7 will be over the moon when I finally tell them about the upcoming trip. Thank goodness they have inherited the WDW gene......

Please, please more trip reports........

I have to stop reading and writing now and put my 7 yr old to bed. It's an hour past her bedtime. I am such a horrible, horrible mother.
