Karlyn’s Wish Is Coming True ***1st hair tutorial***

[mom2lilnick]

Welcome back! What a great start! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[AURORA73]

An upgrade! And to OKW! How exciting! How come this is the first I am hearing about this. I can't believe after all my texts to Mandy this never came up. Just kidding. It was a fun surprise and I guess it's fair to all the rest of the DISboards group just waiting to hear about the trip. Sorry, everyone. I will wait along with the rest of you for the TR.

We are back! The time went by so quickly and now it's over. I just have one thing to say:

IT WAS AWESOME!

We had the most incredible experience. Yes, there was some rain, in fact, on the first day when we got there, there was lots and lots of rain. If it rained like that in Utah, we would have flash floods like you can't believe. We just learned that we all have a little bit of duck in us and we can live with rain.

Most of the words for the report are written, I just have to coordinate them with the pictures. So the report will be coming soon! I do have one really exciting thing that happened that I just have to share with you all, kind of like a teaser!

When we went to check in at Port Orleans Riverside, after going to GKTW with Karlyn and her family, we gave the CM our reservation information and asked if it would be possible to have our two rooms connecting and if not, at least adjoining. She looked on the computer and then asked if she could take the papers for a moment and she would be right back. I told Mandy that it is never a good sign when they look at the computer and then ask if they can go to the back room for a moment! Boy, was I ever wrong this time.
When CM Carmela came back out, she asked if it would be alright if they offered us an upgrade to a 2 bedroom villa at Old Key West. Now if I was a good actor, I would have said "Oh I guess if we have to." However, I am not a good actor and it was all I could do to keep myself from jumping up and down and shouting "We got an Upgrade!" I didn't do this though because I didn't want to be attacked by the people standing in line behind me. So very calmly, I told Mandy to go tell her Dad that we didn't have a room at POR (Just so I could see him get a little angry) and then tell him we were going to OKW. We had stayed there about 12 years ago with his parents and so we knew how cool this would be! Dear Carmela said "You can just consider this a little Magic Moment." I wanted to jump over the counter and give that girl a giant hug...but remember, I was trying to stay in control.

Anyway, more to come soon, I promise. And thanks to you all for everything you did, kind thoughts and words, gorgeous clothes, helpful information or just hanging in there with us.

I know I promised the start of the trip report but we have about 1200 pictures that we are trying to sort through to get the best ones for the TR. This weekend I promise we will get it started!

Thanks to you all for the welcome home. I am amazed at how much I missed reading about what was happening with everyone.

It is nice to hear from you again. What a great first day!!! We stayed a OKW with friends about 10 years ago and had sooo much fun. I can't wait to hear more.
Robin

Robin, I agree that it is great to back among friends! I hope things are well with your cute daughter away at college. I still remember how hard it was for me when I went away to college and that was more years than I want to think about.

YAY!!! So good to hear from you. Can't wait to hear about it all. Definitely a GREAT way to start off your special trip

Thanks so much. Once again sorry about that BYU/Washington game!

You know I don't know how to text so I have no clue what you and Mandy were chatting about the whole week. I told her to tell you!

It was pretty unbelievable alright!

Cool!! Got an upgrade! Awesome. that is great news.

More magic like you got with your CRT ressie!

that was an awesome upgrade. I can't wait to hear more about the trip and see the pictures.

The pictures we have are really so fun. You guys will just absolutely love GKTW. It is truly unbelievable until you see it! Words do not do it justice.

WELCOME HOME!!!!!!!!!!! I'm thrilled you had a great time!! I can't wait to read all about your adventures!!!!

Big Hugs,
Amber

You time will be here before you know it and we will all be waiting to see your fantastic pictures. Remember we've seen some of your work already and it is incredible!

Heather, I wanted to tell you how much I loved the finish of your TR. I just hate it when you have to sit in an airport forever waiting to go home. Nothing makes me more tired than an airport chair!

I know I have forgotten some of you but I just lost my major multiquote...Thanks to you all for following us.

It's all good We got a call from MAW and if things work out it will more than make up for it. The kids are even wearing their BYU stuff again so I guess they've gotten over it too LOL

 

[Khalana]

It's alright. I got a brief overview at lunch today. I can't wait to see the photos and read the report. Hopefully this weekend?!? I will go work on my pre-trip report while I wait. I will have that posted this weekend too or at least I will try.

Denise!!! Welcome home! I have been so busy this week that I've hardly been on the computer at all. And now as I'm taking my Friday night breather, I am reading that you got home safely and had a wonderful trip! YAY!! I thought about y'all tons and said prayers for your fun and safety many times. I cannot wait to hear all about it!!! Thanks for the teaser!

Oh...and would you happen to know anything about a "Fairy Grandma"?

All I know about a fairy Grandma is that she sent 3 darling postcards to our kids that we got when we came home!

Lindsey is going to run the picture CD's over in the morning when she comes for three kids soccer games. We also have tickets to the BYU/Wyoming football game tomorrow afternoon so it will be tomorrow night or Sunday after church before I get things organized and posted; but I am ready. It almost feels like a letdown now that the trip is over. My husband said that he hardly knows what to do with himself because we were so focused for so long on this trip. However, he is going to be back in Orlando October 5-10 but won't have time for Disney so I won't go with him. He did say that we could just decide to go sometime and then go He is addicted too!

I need to get my butt in gear and finish my report. I has been crazy here. All the kids got postcards from "Fairy Grandma" . I thought it was you . I wonder who it was I can't wait to hear about your trip
Robin

 

[twinmum]

Welcome Back!!! Can't wait to hear more about your trip!

Our boys also received postcards from "Your Fairy Grandma" and I thought they were from you, too. I'm a little embarrased I hadn't had a chance to come and thank properly here. But if they were not sent by you, to whom do we attribute this sprinkling of pixie dust...??? May of our addresses have been shared with the DISBoutiquers...could it be one of them?

I hope you have time to start your trip report this weekend. I am heavily into the purging and packing up as the demolition stage of our renovation begins on Oct 1. I could use a pick me up!

It's really nice to have you back on the boards!

I don't post much but read your pre-trip when we were planning our trip for the same time, and I saw you there! It didn't register at first where I recognized that bright orange and blue fabric from for a bit, and you were gone by the time it did, but I was crossing the bridge to leave animal kingdom as your gang was coming across the other direction on Saturday the 13th! You did a great job with the outfits, everyone looked great! Hope you had a good time there that day!

I am a little confused as well but what a wonderful sprinkling of pixie dust.
I am waiting for the end of your trip report too but know how that busy thing can get in the way.
