Day 8—Saturday, December 11, 2004

I woke up a little bit later than usual this morning. I guess all of those late nights and early mornings finally caught up with me. This was the final day of my trip, and it sure was a fun and busy week.

I decided to take my time getting ready, and just have a relaxing morning. I had some cereal in the room for breakfast. I knew that KathyTX and her mom would be leaving that morning, so I called up to their room to say goodbye. Travellin’ Tigger stopped by my room, and we wound up going up to KathyTX’s room to say goodbye to her and her mom. We wound up staying up there for a half hour, looking at Kathy’s pictures from the trip, and sharing memories of what a great time we had all week. I thanked Kathy and Nancy for putting up with me all week, and said goodbye and hugged them, thankful for knowing people as great as Kathy and Nancy.

I then finished packing my stuff and asked bell services to come get it. I then headed over to Epcot. I ran into Old Kicker at the International Gateway, and we walked around Epcot together for a while. We were thinking of going on Spaceship Earth, but the line was very long (as is usually the case in the morning), so we walked around the Future World until the World Showcase opened.

I said goodbye to Old Kicker in France, and walked around the World Showcase, catching a couple of the holiday storytellers. I then headed back to France for lunch. I had a priority seating at Chefs du France. While I was waiting to check in, NativeTxn and two of her friends (I just can’t remember their names) showed up at the restaurant—they also had a priority seating, so they invited me to join them. Although I enjoyed my meal, I enjoyed the company at lunch a lot more. I was using a lunch voucher, so I started off with a salad, followed by hangar steak in peppercorn sauce, and crème brulee for dessert. The hangar steak was good, but a bit bland. The crème brulee was excellent.

After lunch, we all walked over to the Swan for the Mega Mouse Meet. I was a bit disappointed in the Mega Mouse Meet this year. The room was a lot smaller than they had last year, and there weren’t nearly as many DIS folks there this year as there was last year. The room was pretty packed. I felt that the Mega Mouse Meet was a waste of time this year.

After the Mega Mouse Meet, I ran over to the Boardwalk to do some shopping. I was hoping to pick up some Boardwalk Villas merchandise now that I’m a member, but I wasn’t thrilled with the selection, so I changed my mind.

It was then time to head back to the Swan to catch a FL Tours town car to MCO. My driver Sonny was waiting for me when I got to the door. He whisked me to MCO to catch my JetBlue flight back home to Boston.

When I got on the plane, I wound up sitting in the same row as the family I was next to on the flight down. It was nice to be able to hear a bit about their trip, and see how much fun their kids back.

I arrived home at 9:00 that night, another fun week at Disney behind me, knowing that I had my first trip home to the Boardwalk scheduled for May.
 
Thank you for your report :) I hope to meet you at Jellyrolls one year :)
 
Hopefully we'll be in the World at the same time someday, Kaylee! I'm usually up for a night at Jellyrolls :)

Karen, you did a great job on the trip report! It brought back so many fun memories of our time together. princess:
 

Thanks for the great report. :worship:I was exhausted just reading about your days! I definitely have Jellyrolls on my must do list for my Feb trip.
 
Jellyrolls is a blast, NanaJo. If you go, and happen to see Scotty and Ray, tell them Karen from Boston sent you :)

Karen
 
Hi Karen,
Just finished your trip report and it sounds like you had a great time! I'd love to go to Jellyrolls ( reminds me of my old college days!), but my DD15 would freak if I went without her! So I guess I'll have to wait till she's 21, hmm?

Congrats on becoming a DVC member! How awesome!

It must have been great seeing so many DIS'ers down at the World. Almost as good as Jerry (but not quite)! :scared1:
 
Oh, you have to leave the DD behind and go to Jellyrolls! It's a fantastic place to spend an evening (or five).

I wish there was a way we could be Jerry to Disney World! That would be way cool. At least one Jerry attendee was at Disney that week!

Karen
 
I really enjoyed your report, Karen. And you stayed at my fav resort --- the Swan! The pictures were awesome, too. How wonderful it was to meet up with so many DISers. However, I agree with Aurora -- a Jerry at WDW would be incredible. :teacher:
 
I didn't do any capering, but I sure had a lot of fun hanging with all the DISers!

Yes, Jerry at Disney would be awesome! We should plan it ;)

Karen
 
Thanks for the great reviews. I always love reading about your trip. We were there right after you from Dec. 8-20, and had another great time. WDW IS THE BEST...
 
Well, stay tuned, Ron. I have another trip scheduled for May.

Karen
 
Karen, as usally I enjoyed your trip report. I know KathyTX and can just imagine here jumping up on stage dancing with you. Have fun in May!
 
Thanks, Shatz! It sure was a fun trip! WebmasterKathy(TX) is a blast!

Haven't seen you in chat in a while :)

Karen
 
OMGoodness, we had a GREAT time!

We're about due for a D/FW meet again, aren't we, Susie? princess:

And you are right, Kathy. Time for another meet soon. And we need Karen to come down ::yes::.
 
Krista sure is throwing that picture around everywhere, isn't she.
