Life is too short for self-hatred and celery sticks: final update 12/29, p.98

[rentayenta]

Have a blow out for your last bit of time there!!

We plan on it! Waiting for the bus to MK right now. Tomorrow is the girls' YES class and then we'll end with F&W.

I believe ME will arrive Wed around noon. My case of PDD is going to be severe ​

 

[Ms. WDW]

Crazy, hot crowded day in MK but guess what? We've got to go back for Wishes. But first, cereal on the deck with my goofy son:

This photo typifies this trip; relaxing some days and rope dropping others. And some days had a little of both.

I am going to miss this place!

Thanks all for reading. Tomorrow is our last day and I promise to not be so random in my posting. ​

I have so enjoyed your trip report and all these fantastic pictures. I hope you enjoy your last day. Just remember...you can always come back. Safe trip if I don't get back on!

Enjoy your last day!! And I know exactly how you feel about PDD. So let's not think about that & start planning the next trip!!

I got the e-mail from DVC yesterday about the special deal on the cruise on Fantasy from now until early December.... If only we didn't just get back from this trip, I think I could've convinced Nate to go.

Have a great last day!

Planning the next trip is the only cure for PDD! It was great to meet you Jenna

It was great to meet you also!! I wish we could've spent more time together, but when Emma started to have her meltdown, I knew I had to get her out of there. Nate always says that kids shouldn't be allowed at Disney.

Awwwww hope you're all having a magical last day my Lovely and I concur the only way to deal with PDD is to plan your next trip. That's what I've been doing since we came back three years ago and the next trip won't be until at least May/Jun 2014 or else find some kindred souls who are going and live vicariously through their trip reports

I can't wait to hear if the girls enjoyed the YES class. I am sure they did but Lexi really wants to do one next year.

Also 2ScottishPrincesses it is good to see you here again.

My kids & their cousins did the same YES class in August that Jenny's kids did this trip. They enjoyed it (and probably would have enjoyed it even more if they hadn't done EMH until 1am the night before.) I would highly recommend it. Even on this trip, when they rode the safari, they were telling me about the behaviors they had looked for during the class & facts on the animals. I think Lexi would love it!

Ohh, pick June 2014!! That's when we plan on taking our kids back to WDW. After this trip, we have decided that it has become too difficult to pull them out of school. Especially Jon. He ended up not going to school yesterday because he made himself physically sick worrying about not having all of his work completed. I think it was a combo of exhaustion & stress but I kept him home to rest & finish his work.

Michael text and said the YES class was okay, worth saving $660, but 14 is far too old. Girls said 10 should be the max!

I agree Jenna, no more school trips. June 2014 sounds perfect!

At our last AKV pool party. BINGO!

Cynthia and Jen it was great to meet you both.​

thank you for the lovely welcome back, it's fab to be back

Jenna it could possibly be beginning of June dependent on when Becci & Sarah's final Higher's are, they tend to schedule the advanced Highers for the end of the exams and they're both planning on sitting at least a couple of Advanced (all going well with this schools years Highers of cours) That's a big part of why we didn't come this year as we had no idea until last October how intense the exam years are, there is no way we could have taken her out of school and even if we had she would have been studying full pelt whilst on holiday which defeats the purpose. Poor wee Jon hope he feels more relaxed soon, he's a clever boy and I'm sure he'll be caught up quick smart

Aww, poor Emma. She just wanted to go to America!

It isn't a trip without at least one meltdown.

 

[rentayenta]

Jenna I was completely oblivious to any meltdown- poor thing. It must have been my orange blood margarita from La Cava.​

oh that's good to know, but disappointing since all the boys will be 13-17 on our next trip so maybe YES isn't an option?​

They basically took one for the team according to Michael. He said to err on the low end of the age range, not high.

Off for a final pool game of Disney trivia and then some King Pin trading.

Ending with a bang at F&W!​

Lexi will be 8 on our next trip so it sounds like she will be the perfect age.​

If you have pics of King Pin, I'd love to see! Fairly sure I met him on Sunday at the Yacht Club gift shop! Traded with him for something cool for Evan but I don't recall what it was. He was a riot and a half.
