Okay, so here we are with our issues:
Called SW about my broken luggage Tuesday, they didn't call back. So I called again yesterday and left a "firmer" message. They called back in about 5 minutes. . . The lady was nice but told me that the claim had to made within 4 hours. I figured as much. But explained to her that we boarded the plane around 4:00 for our 4:20 flight, it never left MCO until 4:45, landed in Pitt around 6:45 but they didn't let us unload until about 7:10. So we had been on that plane for over 3 hours for a 2 hour flight. Then we waited on our luggage forever and the kids were tired and cranky and we just wanted to get home. I told her that we had never experienced all the delays or broken luggage with any other airline and that this was the first time we flew with them and we weren't very happy with the whole experience. She gave me the # for the SW baggage headquarters in Dallas and told me that I'd have to turn it over to them but that she was going to talk to her supervisor and she would call me back if they could make any exceptions. Well, I was never expecting to hear from her again, but she did call me back in about 20 minutes and told me that her supervisor told her to go ahead and make a claim. Still not sure if anything will come of it. I'm supposed to hear from headquarters today, but nothing yet. . . .
DH bought me a big snowglobe and the Monorail set for our anniversary. We shipped the monorail home that Monday - May 12. The guy told me it would be here in 7-10 days. No monorail yet and it's been 10 days. . . So I call and the lady tells me that they just got it to UPS yesterday and I should have it in about a week from now.
DS9 bought a Mickey's Personal Disney Assistant for $15 on our last day. Brought it home and opened it up and it worked for like an hour and quit. Only the on/off button works, none of the other buttons now. . . So I call and explain this. The lady was very nice (actually it was the same lady that I talked to about my monorail), she told me to just fax a copy of the receipt and she will send out a new one and we will have it in about 10-15 days!
So that's where we are with all that!
Keep letting us know what happens with all things.
I am glad they are trying to make it right at SW. Most of the time on something like this i just get, "Tough luck lady." Glad that it is going better than it usually goes for me!
The CM told us it was about a 45 minute wait. We waited 30 minutes and had barely moved. We decided we weren't waisting anymore time here and left. Went and rode Soarin and Living with the Land. We all agree that Soarin is truly the best ride ever!! 
LOVE it! 
DH really enjoys Living with the Land and DS9 gets to write down a few facts from it for his school trip report. After that a quick spin on Nemo and then it's off to TT. The wait is very long so we grab some fastpasses and go over to M:S. I am still very leery about this but I am trusting my good friend Sulley that the green version is pretty tame!! I didn't call her to tell her that we were there, I didn't think I should bother her at work since we already met the day before. But we were hoping to see her inside. No such luck though. Wait was only about 10 minutes. We get up to the end and are about to load into the ride and DS6 decides to split!! 
I think DH is relieved and gladly takes him out! So DS9 and I have the whole thing to ourselves. I panic a bit when the doors close and am feeling a little claustrophobic, but I hide it from DS. He absolutely loved it!! I didn't think it was bad, didn't love it either. Kind of like TOT, I could take it or leave it. 
Very cool! After that it is now getting close to time for the kids to go to the Sandcastle Kids Club at the Beach Club. So we make the trek clear to the back of Epcot and go out exit. We take the boat over to the closest dock to the Beach Club. Still a long walk to the Beach Club. This takes us much longer than expected. We make it to the club just on time at 5:15. The kids club is much smaller and quieter than I expected. I thought it would be big and loud, but it was very low key. We got the kids all checked in and we got our beeper and were on our way back top Epcot. We asked if it was faster to just walk back to Epcot and it was! Got to LeCellier around 5:45 for our 6:00 ADR. We were seated in about 10 minutes. We both got steak and potatoes and it was very good. DH got the mouse for dessert and I got the smores. All very good. After dinner we walked over to France and I got a Grey Goose Slushy! Very good, but I was too full from dinner to drink very much of it. Then we just sat and rested a bit by the water. We walked back to the Beach Club around 7:45 and picked up the kids. They absolutely LOVED the kids club. We will definitely do that again!! 
That's crazy, their prices are so high in the first place. . . What are they thinking??? 
)! We were very comfortable with the whole thing. The kids are looking forward to going again someday!! Too bad it's $22 an hour! 
no i didn't get to ride it. My Dd was being a little drama queen and didn't let either my DH or myself get on any rides. Once she saw the line she would wail like someone was trying to kill her. I'll try it next time. I PROMISE...... and i really wanted to go on it.
