Day 12... Part 2...

After breakfast, Terry asks me what I would like to do... I want to walk... When I am having these issues, sometimes my back kinda locks up and it just feels better to be on my feet... Other times I just want to curl up in bed!

So we decide to head over to Magic Kingdom... We took the monorail... Once we got through the gates we took a photopass pic...

Terry snapped this one...

Tailor wanted to take home all of these balloons...

We made our way to Pirates of the Caribbean...

Next was Splash Mountain for the boys...

At this point we are dealing with a ton of people... Magic Kingdom was pretty busy this day... And we were not wanting to fight crowds with me not feeling well... And not to mention, this was our last Magic Kingdom day, and we didn't want to remember our last day as a packed park day when we had such great days prior... So we decided to head to Main St.

Terry took some pictures of the castle on our way by...

City Hall...

We said good bye to Magic Kingdom... Promised that we would return...

We hopped a bus to Pop and on the way we decided to take the kids to Disney Quest for a little while...

Pictures of DTD along the way...

Terry and the kids had a blast at Disney Quest... I got a drink at sat down in the cafe area... It was nice to rest up but still be there with the family as well...

We made it back to Pop at 7:30 and I was pretty tired... Needed to take my Tylenol and just lay down...

Terry was dying to head back to Magic Kingdom and take some pictures... So I told him to head out and leave the kids with me...

Day 12... Part 3...

This post will be picture heavy, with basically no commentary.... This is Terry solo trip to Magic Kingdom...

He arrives at 8:30 and as he is walking through the gates, it starts to downpour!!!

He is stuck in a gift shop for over an hour... There, commentary over...

 

[oregonmommyof2]

I nearly fainted from shock when I saw you updated! You really shouldn't sneak up on me that way.


sooo, how's things with the oregonfamily?

Hey girl! Sorry about the scare I gave ya!

We are all doing well, just dealing with school for the kids, work for Terry, working on the house... We are planning a 25th Anniversary party for my parents so that has been taking a lot of our time the past few weeks, but I think we have done all that we can until like April or so when we send out the invites... Ugh... And of course I have been pouting cause I want to go back to DW...

hey!!!!!!!!!!

JORDY!!!!!!

 

[lovegrumpy]

Great pictures. I love your pink 2009 t-shirt.

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I'm so excited to see you two back!!!

I can't believe that woman beating her child like that. I'm glad you reported her - probably saved that little girl from something worse in the future. Makes you wonder how the dad tolerates it - he'll probably be under investigation, too. I'm guessing in Oregon she would be in foster care by now.

Ouch! I'm so sorry you didn't feel well. I hope the cranberry juice did the trick. The bar trick is one to remember.

Hi, just wanted to let you know I read your TR. Loved the pictures, your kids are precious and I really enjoyed reading. Can't wait to read how the trip ends. So much to comment on but I was a little late getting in on your report. I am so happy you reported that woman who was hitting her child. I was just speechless reading that part. Just wanted to thank you for keeping me entertained at work tonight!

 

[Leleluvsdis]

Loved you update and all the pictures!!! So you weren't feeling better, and believe me I know your pain. I get bladder/kidney infections a lot, but my life saver is azo (it's an analgesic and also has antibacterial properties). I also take about 4 cranberry pills a day and that does wonders as well. Can't wait to read more about your trip! I can't wait to go to disney in the fall, but I think we are going to do christmas first as that's when my mom really wants to go. I LOVE the pictures at night even if he did have to stand in a shop for and hour before getting them lol That's one good thing about rain at disney if you can wait it out, most people leave before it's over and the park will be pratically empty!!!

 

[jordanyosh]

Those castle shots are amazing.

Thanks! Terry decided we needed matching shirts that day so he bought a grey one for him and pink for me...

Yeah that lady really ticked me off! I called me friend who works for Child Welfare here and she about came unglued!

Welcome! Glad we could keep you entertained at work! If you get another quiet night, you should read Jordanyosh's PTR or Winkers... They crack me up!!! I am very behind over there though...

I so want to do Christmas time!!! I turn 30 on December 1st this year and would love to celebrate it at DW!!!

I may have to give the cranberry pills a try, my doc was afraid it would cause problems with my digestive issues, but I think it would be worth a shot and if they did cause problems then i could stop taking them...

Those castle shots are amazing.

Glad we did not disappoint!!

Hi Toni!!! Hope all is well... Finally got all caught up with your report! Geese it's been forever since we talked... My life has been crazy since I went back to work!

Day 13... Part 1...

Alarm went off at 7am, we all got up and ready, knowing it was our last full day...

We had signed up to take the DVC tour this morning... The DVC van picked us up at 8:15... We rode over to Saratoga Springs... Took the tour and get the whole sales pitch... Told her we would think about it, but we were not making any decisions anytime soon as we were not planning another trip until 2012...

They sent us into the ice cream parlor for ice cream, which the kids loved at 9am... Okay, who am I kidding, Terry loved it too...

Terry loved this train...

We made it to DHS at 9:45am...

We wanted to get some photopass pics since it was our last day, and we really thought we would have gotten a ton more than we did... Here are a few we had taken...

Went straight to TSM and got 3 sets of fastpasses with the fastpass card the dvc people gave us...

Rode once right then, and from there headed to RRC...

We grabbed fastpasses for RNR for later...

Then it was time for the Indiana Jones show... We had never seen that before, and thought it was good...

We headed back to RRC, Terry snapped a few pics along the way...

Cont.

 

[oregonmommyof2]

Our Ode to Jordo...

We decided we were not going to use the last set of RRC fastpasses so we gave those away...

We went to TSM and rode that one more time, and gave away 4 fastpasses for that one...

The weather had gotten nasty, hence, no pictures... We decided to leave the park and head pack to Pop... We had done everything we wanted to at DHS and it was time to say good bye...

Once back at the resort, I started packing, Alec did homework... Terry and Tailor went swimming for an hour...

The rain picked up even more... We decided we should just stay at the resort, and have pizza delivered...

It was actually kinda nice just having a quiet night before we left, I got a lot of the packing done, Alec was able to finish his homework, and we got to just relax... Tailor loved playing with all the toys she had bought throughout the trip!

Next Up... So long, farewell...

 

[praisehisname]

Well, a constant flow of Tylenol had kept me going, but this morning, I knew my streak was over, I could hardly walk, I was in so much pain...

I can't believe you were able to walk from the TTC to the Poly! You poor thing! I'm glad they were able to find you some cranberry juice and that it helped.

He arrives at 8:30 and as he is walking through the gates, it starts to downpour!!!

I love the pictures he got that show how hard it was raining!

I was so thankful for the cranberry juice! You have no idea... I really just wanted to get home before having to go to the doctor...

I couldn't believe how hard to rained while he was there... He did like how it emptied the park out in no time, then he got to tour an empty park when the rain let up...

 

[mrsksomeday]

I can't say it enough, the pictures are fantastic. They make you feel like you are right there. I am so sorry you weren't feeling well during your trip, I had a couple of bad days on ours too. So sorry to see your trip end.

I was just over at your TR getting caught up... I have a few updates left and I am done... Sounds like you guys had a good trip with a few speed bumps along the way... I have been so behind, but am starting to get caught up one TR at a time... It's amazing home far behind you can get and it takes forever to catch up!!! Terry is behind on our own TR!! He didn't even know I had been updating!

Day 14... Part 1

Well, we are finally at the day I had been dreading... Departure Day...

We woke up at 8, had breakfast at Pop... Finished packing and checked our checked bags in... Got a late check out for 1pm...

Headed to DTD... Terry and Alec went to Disney Quest, while Tailor and I went shopping!! That is a dangerous thing, Tailor and I in a store with no Daddy keeping our spending in check!!! We actually came in way under budget so even after us girls spent our hearts out, we still had a chunk of money to take home!!

We had 6 CS credits left to use, so we headed to Earl of Sandwich to get sandwiches for lunch and the plane ride home! Yummy

Made our way back to Pop and got the rest of our carry on bags out of the room and changed into our comfy airplane clothes...

We had a little bit of time to kill so Terry took pictures of the stuff in the lobby...

Up Next... That stupid ugly bus makes me go home... (Can you tell I get bitter???)

 

[oregonmommyof2]

As soon as we got out to the front where Magical Express (I use that term loosely) picks up, I started getting all pouty and teary eyed... Kept asking Terry if we had to go home... If we could stay... Gave him that cute face he normally can't resist... Notice I said normally...

Terry thought this was our bus that pulled up, but nope, this one was full of happy people that were just arriving...

He killed time by taking random shots...

That darn bus pulled up and Terry made me get on it... I couldn't believe the nerve of him making me go back to reality!!!

Terry decided that our bus needed a photoshoot...

Work it baby... Show us what you got!!

Oh yeah! You know what Daddy likes!!!

Hey! Put my bags back!!!

So we start heading for the airport... I start crying... Seriously, I did... Like a big freakin' baby... At least it wasn't an ugly cry... You know what I am talking about... I was just not ready to go home... I missed my dogs like crazy, but I was not ready to let go of the family time... Between the kids school and Terry's crazy work schedule, we don't get uninterrupted family time... Nobody stopping by the house, or video games, the kids friends being here... I love having just the 4 of us... And I didn't know when I would have that again... When I am at WDW nothing else seems to matter... Great, now I am crying just thinking about it...

Anywho... the movie starts, and I try to gain my composure, and I do for the most part but still have a tear now and then... We watched the movie, and of course this part got me...

We arrived at the airport and made our way through security... Got to the gate one hour before boarding, so we made ourselves comfortable... There was a flight getting ready to leave when we arrived at the gate... The gate attendants kept paging a party of 4... The flight was like 5 minutes from departure time, which as you know, means you are suppose to be on your way to taxing at that point... They page the people one last time and finally shut the doors and started prepping the plane to taxi and the people finally show up with 1 minute before their schedule take off... They were informed that the plane had been closed up and the gate doors closed so they had missed their flight... Of course the people got ticked off and started freaking out... The plane was headed to Spain! They said that nowhere on their tickets does it say to arrive early... Umm, that was proved wrong when they tried to prove their point and show the gate attendants... Gate attendants called TSA to see if they would authorize a gate re open and plane re open cause they are not allowed to do it once the plane has been cleared... TSA said no, they were too late... SO the people got even more mad!!! TSA agents ended up coming down and helping the gate agents, and the truth comes out!! The group was getting drunk in the bar, and didn't realize what time it was... Too bad, so sad is basically what they were told... They rebooked their flights and went back to the bar!!! Whatever... Not my flight, not my problem!!!

Our flight left on time, was an uneventful trip to SLC airport for our layover... They showed Ghosts of Girlfriends Past... FLight landed on time... We had a 1 hour layover, grabbed a bite to eat... Had a very quick flight to PDX... Only mishap was the kid in front of us puking! It smelled so horrid!!! I thought I was going to puke! I have never wanted off a plane so bad in my life!!

Once on the ground we got all of our luggage and called for our shuttle, got to our van and loaded it up! We had a lot of crap!!!

Finally made it home around 11:15pm... And our dogs freaked!!!! They didn't pee everywhere though so that was a bonus!!!

Next up... A word from our sponsor...
