We arrived home last night after spending a glorious week in Disney 
. We are already planning on going back or doing the Cruise in 06.
We woke the girls up Xmas morning at 3am. Our oldest DD 9 looked at the clock and said "its only 3am after I open presents I am going back to bed" (Needless to say that didnt happen
) After opening most of their presents and stockings they saw another box. Upon opening it they saw 2 pal mickeys and some Tinkerbell luggage tags. Digging a little deeper they found some maps of the MK and some trading pins. They still were clueless so I asked them to go into the kitchen to get me a diet pepsi.(yes I needed some caffine) Walking into the kitchen they saw all of the luggage. My oldest DD eyes light up brighter then the Xmas tree lights and her jaw was on the floor 
. She asked if we were going in April. DW said no dearwe were leaving in an hr. Both DD started yelling screaming and running around shouting this is the BEST Xmas ever 
.
Arrived at the airport on time flight left on time but we landed an hr late. No big deal we were in Fla. Weather was raining. Headed down to baggage claim and Fl Tours were there waiting for us (They were great to deal with. After some negetive comments on the board I was leary but I am EXTREMELY happy with them.)
Checked in POR without any problems and headed to our room in a down pour. Room was 7984. It had not been redone but it was in nice shape. We were soaked by the time we got there. We unpacked and decided to check out Fultons store and eat at boatwrights. We had PS for 5pm. I had prime rib and thought it was OK. We went to the arcade with the kids and Mickey came into the lobby at 730 where we had some nice pictures of the girls with him. Wewent to bed @ 9pm. It was a long day for us.
Day 2
We woke up this morning and we were going to check out Epcot. By the time we arrived at the bus depot we decided it was a little chilly so we headed to DTD. For us it was a good choice. Surprise 2 for the girls was happening today. Their Nana and Poppa were arriving at 230pm
DTD was fun. I really liked the Xmas Store. Both DD wanted us to buy just about every Tinkerbell knicknack for our tree. At each store the girls would point out things they wanted to buy. We did lunch at McDonalds. @ 3 we headed back to the hotel. Once at the hotel the girls wanted to go to Fultons Store. I kept a lookout for Nana and Poppa. At 330pm still no grandparents. I sent the DW and kids to our room to get ready for dinner at Chef Mickeys. Nana and poppa showed up and I checked them in and hurried them to their room (2 doors from us) I went to our room and got the family and walking out I told them I invited another couple I met in the lobby to dinner with us. I told the kids to knock on the door and get them. Once again all my planning paid off. The expressions on their face was priceless when Nana and Poppa opened the door. Definitly a Koak moment.
We headed to Chef Mickeys for dinner. We had 530 PS and we were seated by 545. Dinner was good and the kids had a great time with the Characters. Dale even teased Nana. From there we headed to MK to see the SpectroMagic. Very nice Parade. We decided since we were there to get Main Street out of the way and watch the Fireworks. The Fireworks were AWESOME.
We headed to the Hotel to get ready for Day 3
I will finish this later. Time to unpack here and pick the dog up from the kennel.
