I have all of the navigators, although some got folded. I hope to include PDFs of them in my trip report/blog/whatever-you-call it

I took pictures of most of the menus, and snuck out with some others *cough cough*

We won't tell

Do you have a link yet to your blog. I would love to read through it

Thanks

Today, I did nothing! Taylor and I have slept the day away. Now I need to start laundry. I have been updating the blog with pics. I'm just past panama Canal. It's so much faster here at home. I am preparring to return to work tomorrow. It's so sad...don't wanna go!
Oh and Gaylean...both tivo's FULL! Taylor goes to her dads this weekend and I am so ON IT!. Cleaning house and watching TV...thats a vacation for me!

And how did you manage that? I had to pry the stuff out of our steward's hands!

I agree Gaylean...she was really nice but not as fun as some of the other one we had in 05, or some of the ones I have heard about. And, finally the last 2 days she got me some extra cream and such, but it took 13 days of asking! And, I tried for the sunburn stuff that the concierge levels get, but that was a definate no go...I didn't have the same pull as Nan did apparently!

Kathe....thanks for the hugs, but we didn't put up with anything, you were GREAT!!! I loved the whole thing, although even for me the rappelling was a bit much (and I used to love to rappel....I think it was that free fall rappel!) Thanks for hanging out with us! Can't wait to get those pics and really have a chance to look at them all....but remember girls...no posting to the boards unless mutually agreed upon,

Kaylee, I'm glad you remember our pact

Jill, hope you get a good sleep and feel better tomorrow. Hugs to everyone who needs them, sorry so many are feeling sick.

I agree, it really was great to meet everyone

THanks, I think DL wore us both out. We were fine until Fantasmic (which we won't do at DL again.) It was cold and we had to stand way to long. We liked most things at DL better than WDW except Fantasmic. Way too long to stand, I like sitting at WDW better. I was sooo cold I had to buy a sweatshirt!

I asked her for more conditioner and she said "I gave you some this morning". I just looked at her and said "have you seen my daughter's AND my hair, one bottle won't do". I'm usually not mean but I heard really good stories about the other ones so I was a little mad.

And then Mrs Woody steals it all and runs

Jill, I didn't realize you had to stand at DL for Fantasmic. Can you still see the show just as well as you can at WDW? In what way were most things better at DL? I wish I had been able to stay on for a day or 2 to see DL.

Well, you were luckier than I was...I only got 2 bottles of shampoo and conditioner the whole time...she never restocked them for me at all. I was hoping to go home with a new collection for the guest room but that didn't happen. by the way....did she ever get really creative with your towel animals? Ours were always well done but nothing great and creative using other stuff around the room or anything.

She always used chocolates and that was it. I heard others had sunglasses and crowns and stuff but not ours

I heard you had to sit through a 2 hour timeshare presentation to get it.

really? that makes no sense at what they asked for the place, it was over $2K for the day.

nope that was all Molly's doing. I wasn't even there when she got it. Our room host was WONDERFUL. I was thinking the same thing...where is TRI I need him to pick up the kids messy rooms

btw, Molly said she liked the Aloe from walgreens better than the DCL stuff, so I don't think ya missed anything.

 

[taysmom]

I didn't take alot of photos...I only took about 350 and mostly of my dd. I always take pics for "scrapbooking" purposes...Bubba..he should have tons!
I am sorry about the shampoo stuff..we had an awesome room steward who asked us if we wanted extra to take home. I never used the room stuff..except the lotion and he restocked it same day.
Taylor is awake and her fever is down, but she's still on the couch in and out...no school for her tomorrow.

 

[gaylean93]

I mean they would try to sell it to youAFTER you were there not to stay there. Didn't you go to Cabo? Everyone was trying to sell us timeshares everywhere.

Well we made it home. My computer will not connect to the internet so I once again have to wait till DH gets home to use his computer. I spent the day doing laundry and playing with my sister. Our cats are glad we are home and are very cuddly. I have to call work tomorrow and tell them I am back in town.

It was great to meet everyone. DH plans to finish his trip report soon. I will upload pics soon hopefully too. I am starting not to feel well.

Jill - I hope you're not getting that horrible sore throat. I'm still getting over the cold I caught the last few days of the trip.

Looking forward to the trip report. Say hi to Matt!

I know Brent wasn't joking when he said my bed wouldn't get made while I was out during the day....it really didn't get made yesterday!

Luckily Tay's sunburn healed pretty well. I did break down and buy a 10.00 bottle of solarcaine aloe at the store on DCL and that seemed to help when the blisters were there....I know I was a bad mom....the doc's kid got blisters from her sunburn at CC!

We didn't get extras on the shampoo or conditioner either, until the last few days & I hate to tell you I left bottles there. I didn't like the smell, neither did Paul. I wish I knew you wanted them, sorry.

TRI (the wonder host) taught Wilson how to make the big turtle. He used lots of "props" the best I thought were my reading glasses on a snake. I'll upload and post later.

Just to let everyone know that has a soar throat. My sis and Brooke both have Strep throat.
