DH and I returned home last night from a wonderful week at WDW!
We had a bit of a hassle on the drive down...we left Baton Rouge in the afternoon, drove to my mom's to drop off the dogs, and planned on stopping in Lake City for the night. Well, every hotel on the side of the interstate was FULL from Lake City to Ocala! We ended up having to drive all the way to Orlando...we left home around 2pm and we arrived in Orlando at 4:00 AM!! We were SOOO tired (and VERY cranky!). Thankfully the Swan was able to get us in a room!
We had wonderful weather...in the 80s almost the whole week. We did have one chilly day a a couple of cloudy/light rain days, but other than that it was great!
DH made it to the hot seat in Millionaire! He go the $64K question right and guessed wrong on the following question. He was so excited! So we have the pins, hat, and polo shirt.
DH marched with his band in right before Share a Dream Come True...it was so neat watching him march in the parade. I actually managed to take pictures AND video at the same time! I never knew I was so talented! 
The second half of the trip w/ the high school kids wasn't too bad...their schedule almost killed us though... breakfast at 7am, on the bus at 8am, leave the park at 9pm, curfew at 11pm! We barely made it!
We did the Keys to the Kingdom tour, which was wonderful! Can't wait to do another tour.
We bought lots of stuff for the baby. Thankfully most of the stuff is either pink or blue....otherwise I would have spent a fortune!! (We go for our first ultrasound on Wednesday!).
We ate and ate and ate! LOL!! I'll be doing a report on the restaurant boards soon.
We took TONS of pictures...I'm sorting through them now and should have some ready to share in a few days.
I think that's all of the highlights of our trip.

Sounds like a great trip. Glad you had fun.
That sure must have been nice watching Ryan in the parade, VERY cool for sure!!! That sure was some long car trip, nice to see the resort come through for you guys. Looking forward to some neat pictures. Again, nice to see you.
