Trip?

Just because Mary asked so nicely!

If you were with me on the pre-trip you know that we were iffy on some of our travelers.
Harper had been sick with a stomach bug but was feeling better....
Here she is at 5 AM on the morning of December 20th checking in at Wichita Mid Continent Airport. We would fly to Dallas, have a very short layover then on to Orlando. Catch ME then head to Kidani Village to a 2br savannah view villa. Nice huh?

Her daddy Matt had been sick with the same bug the night before and on only two hours of sleep. He showed up at the airport, tired, weak and pale but unwilling to give up the trip he had looked so forward to. Here he is with my Megan, Harper's mommy getting ready to take off for Dallas!

Up next we have Keeley and Baylor. Don't they look happy? My how things change.....

Marc got sat behind the group, here he is by his lonesome....

Lastly here's me, so excited that I'm about to wet myself! We had all made it, Matt seemed OK, and everyone was going to my happy place. Well if you are reading this, it's your happy place too!

The flight to Dallas was 45 minutes, Matt, Megan and Harper slept. We got a quick snack at the airport and boarded for the flight to Orlando.
Someone one didn't feel so hot on this leg of the journey....
Can you guess who it was?

We were there last year for our spring break (mid March) and it was super crowded but the weather was awesome!
We got everything done!
Took advantage of fast passes, made sure we got the next one as soon as we could and even stock piled them.
Got to the parks early.
Avoided morning EMH parks....
When are your dates?[/QUOTE]

Hunny Pot is TOOO cute! Love those Minnie ears
Our dates for spring are April 4th-Easter but we arrive late to April 8th-we leave late afternoon. I know it will be uber crowded but this is just a bonus, surprise trip for the kids. When we bought our DVC contract we got '09 points so we are splurging this year. We're also going in June (23rd-July 2nd) and Christmas (most likely 26th-30 or 31st)

Okay you VA people! My MIL and SIL live in Gloucester. My BIL also works at Northrup G!!! DH's cousins live in Williamsburg. We were down in August.
Come on sing it with me...It's a small world... If you come read my TR, there will be all kinds of snide comments about my VA in-laws.

LOL! I'll come over and read your TR as long as you promise not to judge all Virginians as you do your in-laws

So that's what Keely looks like! The whole time I saw her she was hidden under a hood texting.

Harper (and her mom & dad) is so freakin' precious!)

 

[Lady Lallie]

I just love the picture of Harper, so CUTE!

 

[jordanyosh]

Okay caught up--cute dog.

Being sick on a plane--not fun for anyone.

Steps to your room. 187

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

You have a beautiful family. Harper is the cutest thing ever! I can't imagine anyone in that nice looking bunch turing into sour grapes!

 

[Wannabinnc]

That looks down right yummy!!! But you didn't tell me what it is??? But I will take a serving, please.

 

[Wannabinnc]

Tell me your deepest fears my dear....

I'm right there with you.....
I saw 3 of my kids yesterday and it really made my day, but I'm just not ready to go back to it all yet. Not at all!


That looks very juicy! Poor Pammy isn't eating much red meat these days though.

I said "some" not all...

Well, if you notice on my reply to Shocker, I asked for a "portion".....hehehehehe. I'm a good patient....

 

[matosfam]

Ok, I've been lurking since page 1... I think it's time to finally join in with a guess! How about 222?

I am also a teacher. I home-schooled my kids for 6 years and then started teaching in a school again last year. I am so sad now -- without visiting the World during off times -- I am scared to attempt the busy season stuff! I am hoping to learn something from your TR's so I can conquer my fears and try June this year!

Looking forward to reading more!

Oh darn, you are going when we are home between summer trips. We might just be there at the same time though over Christmas...
Where do you think you'll be staying?

Oh I can't wait to get to that part of the trip report.....
Her real ugliness started that night!

I just love the picture of Harper, so CUTE!

Thanks Leslie, she was making her mean face, notice how she has her nose wrinkled?

Okay caught up--cute dog.

No, airsick is yuck!
for everyone around
187 steps are yours!

You have a beautiful family. Harper is the cutest thing ever! I can't imagine anyone in that nice looking bunch turing into sour grapes!

Oh believe me, a couple of them were very sour! Pucker your mouth, sour....

That looks down right yummy!!! But you didn't tell me what it is??? But I will take a serving, please.

I think it's just some picture he found, nothing he has actually every had....

Well, if you notice on my reply to Shocker, I asked for a "portion".....hehehehehe. I'm a good patient....

Oh Wanna, you are the best patient ever, and you'd better be!

Thanks for joining in, hanging around in the shadows isn't any fun! We go at the end of May and the first part of June yearly. If you want to see how that is you might want to check out my flashing jelly ring trip report! If you can handle the weather and the people it's really pretty fun, just go early, leave in the afternoon and then back in the evening!
What grade do you teach?

I have you down for 222 steps!

 

[winkers]

How in the heck is this already on page 15????

now that I've gotten that out of my system, I'm going back to read.

 

[sugar1967]

WOW!! page 15 already and we haven't even landed in Orlando yet

So my guess for the steps will be 399 in keeping with the drama I see coming in your TR. Thinking that this long walk might have just added to that. Looking forward to reading allllll about it

 

[wannago2disney]

so sorry to hear that some of you were not feeling too well. it sucks to be sick when travelling...even worse when you are at Disney and sick I hope that the mouse has a magic cure.

 

[jenjolt]

Awwww...what a great start! Harper does look so cute in her stroller!!!! Well like you said at least you all made it to the airport!!! Can't wait for more!

 

[kschafer]

Everyone looks so happy on the plane

I want to play the number of steps game but have no idea what has already been guessed!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Harper looks like she was feeling a ton better and just so adorable in her First Trip shirt!!!

Everyone looks so happy on the plane except poor, ostracized Shocker. Was he having premonitions of impending doom???

Love your shirt, Anita! Did you make it or was it one that you had bought on a previous trip?

Darn-I had hoped maybe our summer trips overlapped at least a day or two
As for where we are staying for Christmas, well that is the million dollar question my friend! LOL! Our home is OKW so I will be making a reservation there come January but I don't intend on keeping it if I can help it. (We're staying VWL April and OKW June). I would really like to give AKL a try, but, if your much loved BCV had an opening, I would be oh so tempted. Of course, the Boardwalk is appealing to me too as we've never stayed there. Really, a lot will depend on what's open at 7 months!
Will you guys be staying at Beach Club?
Happy New Year!
