I know we were missed. The dog slept all night in the bed with me and the cat on my head. The dog is in between our chairs in the living room and the cat is on the recliner arm as I write.
I have over 210 pictures and videos on our memory maker which I need to work on before I do a trip report. I think I am going to do one not sure yet. I have to get pictures from Morgan's phone, my pictures from my phone downloaded and all the pictures from my camera downloaded. I also made no notes so I guess doing that would be an obvious thing to work on as well soon.
Highlights were seeing Universal and Islands of Adventure for the first time. Mom rode some rides I really didn't expect her too. We enjoyed the time we spent there. We also enjoyed the Macy's parade. I missed Grinchmas-really sorry this didn't happen.
I loved, loved and did I say loved the express pass that came with staying at an on property hotel. Had we not stayed there and had the express pass and getting in early 1 hour early for Harry Potter, I might have said don't go back. I am ready to go back!!
Another highlight was staying at Kidani and having a standard room on the studio. A low light here was the bed. It was very comfy for Morgan and I. Mom could not get on it!! It was so high.
Another lowlight is how tired I am today and how bad I hurt. Morgan didn't want breaks and asked to alter the schedule. I let her. I know it now. Yesterday in the car, I decided not to take my
crocs of because I knew if I did they would not go back on and it was too cold not to wear shoes to get in the house. The last time me legs were this big was when I wrecked a go cart in 1998 on a mission trip and broke my left leg.
Another highlight the talking Mickey interaction we had or Mom had at Magic Kingdom 1/8, our last park day. Mickey himself came over and helped Mom out of the wheel Chair. It was so precious and the photographer got it pictures of it. Cudos to the cast member that was Mickey at that time.
A cast member at the Haunted Mansion Ashley was the greatest, she helped Mom out of the doombuggy and across the moving walkway and even off the walkway. Wish I had her picture.
Another lowlight-the ride. What more can I say, 10 hours drive time with a sick college student on the way down and 10+ hours on the way back with a Mom that could only get in the front seat and a Lee that could barely feel her feet other than pain on the way back.
Highlight-1st ever DIS meet ever with Kaitlin and her parents. The family is incredible and wonderful. Thanks for meeting up with us!!
Highlight-an unofficial DIS meet with Gordon. Gordon isn't on these boards but meeting him was a little too close and personal even though he was cute. So who is Gordon? You will need to read the trip report to find out but I will tell you that our Savannah guide on the Wyanama safari wasn't at all pleased with Gordon. Gordon is too tall to be shipped anywhere. Know who or what Gordon is yet? Gordon is a giaraffe. The Wyanama safari is so worth it...even with food allergies!!
Highlight-dinner at California grill with fireworks viewing.
Highlight-seeing a 20 year old light up with seeing princesses and looking out over Fantasyland from our table by the window.
Highlight-eating at Be our Guest for lunch on my birthday,
The week was mostly incredible and I am glad we did it. This will probably be the last trip we do with Morgan for a while if not forever. She is all grown up now and not quite halfway through college. Where has time gone?
More to come just not sure when. If I do a trip report which I am leaning towards, I will probably start it this weekend or next.

Hope you do a TR!
