Mission Accomplished~Now A Trip Report~Day 10~A BRIEF CONCLUSION~

Love the installment! So glad you road EE - even if it was with your eyes closed. (Doesn't that make motion sickness worse? It would for me!)

Welcome back & Happy Mother's Day!

Great job, Monica! I'm so glad you are back. :hug:

So your sister has DVC but doesn't know to make ADRs? :eek: You are a good sister offering to go along with her. Heh.

I'm gonna try to get over to the Poly for summa that Toast everybody keeps talking about!

Sounds like a fun, laid back day at AK. The spinning rides make me sick too. Here's a little advice....never follow EE closely with Dinosaur. (vomiting smilie here)

:) Keep it comin'!

My sickness is do to things passing by. I need a focal point. I can sit in a simulation ride and not watch the screen and just stare at the floor and that keeps me OK.

Happy Mother's Day to you too! Thanks:thumbsup2

What are sister's for?

Dinosaur I still haven't ridden. After watching the behind the scenes shows that Disney has been running I think I can handle that one. I hope.


:) Keep it comin'!
 

Sorry it took so long to get back here – once again, my subscriptions list lost your TR. I don’t know what the problem is.
I didn’t know that going back to college, working full time, and carrying my fourth child was going to be so crazy.
Listen, I’ve got the going-back-to-college, working full time and only one child, let alone carrying a fourth, and I’m EXHAUSTED! I don’t know how you do it. You rock! :cool1:

Snap! Another vacation and no Dole Whip. So there will be another vacation in our future. It’s that simple.
So THIS is how Walt keeps us coming back!:rolleyes:

I know we missed out on party things. This was our first experience with doing MVMCP. We have to learn to stop and enjoy things rather than go go go! But practice makes perfect right?
I think you managed to fit lots in! And just another reason for another trip in the future, right?!

Hey, the semester is OVER! I did awesome and now I have free time!!!!!
Yay for you – CONGRATS! :cheer2:

Plus for me being such a nice sister I told her should could let us come with her next time and stay in some big fancy shmancy place with the DVC membership.
:thumbsup2

I called Tim to catch up and they were just continuously walking on the ride over and over. I love this time of year.
Thanks for the reminder - I may need to make Dec. our big trip month again; early May wasn’t nearly as delightful as I’d remembered. :sad2:
 
:wave2: Hi, there! I am loving your TR! Your family is just too precious!
Thank you for writing and sharing your memories.:goodvibes
 
Dad and the boys got into their swimsuits and head for the pool. Malorie crashed while watching HER show and I looked at the mess and carefully contemplated my plan. I immediately started to pitch anything that we didn’t need. Then I jammed everything in the suitcases. Clean or not, I have this thing about washing everything when we get home.

My mom asked if I wanted to go do some shopping with Tim later and she’d watch the kids. Wow! Ok, don’t have to twist my arm.

I said I would order them pizza and have it delivered. Finally got to use that service.

Tim and I drove to DTD. We had a birthday party to go to when we came back. My best friend’s daughter was turning one and I had to get her on outfit from Disney World. Which I did along with a cute Santa Goofy.

We walked around a bit and my feet were just killing me, my legs were not cooperating either. The excitement of going somewhere without the kids in tow was just too overwhelming to listen to what my body was telling me: Get some rest!

I did get some earrings for me and Mal, to replace the $30.00 pair she pulled out and threw on the ground when I wasn’t looking in one of the parks. They were a trio of blue shaped Mickey heads. So we wear them together around here and those she never bothers.

We get back to the room around 10 and everyone is passed out. We join them.

We wake up and start loading the rental.

Last room check is complete and we go over to POP to eat. I finally say lets walk around this place and see what we’ve been missing. We have some time to kill.

Took some pictures and looked at the decorated windows and doors.

I took my boxes to the front desk to leave for the next Diser staying at POP Century to decorate their window and door. That was fun. You should try it and see if there are any swaps going on. I brought some of my own decorations but I didn’t have to bring everything, we just keep recycling and passing on to the next person.

Tim found out that even though we weren’t using Magical Express, you could still have Disney take your luggage to the airport for you. We were all over that.

We still had more time to kill and let the boys hang out in the arcade. Some really nice guest gave my son his card that had a ton of credits on it and my boys were in heaven. When it was time to go and credits to spare I told them to pass it on and share the fun and they chose another kid to pass it to.

Then it happened. My son Zach couldn’t fight it anymore. The end was here and it was really getting to him. There wasn’t a way to avoid it anymore and he caved.

He just didn’t want to leave and started to break down. He wasn’t making a scene or anything, but in the best way he could, he had his own private moment that I’m about to share with all of you, yes at times, I can be the evil witch.

We promised we’d return and that we all felt this way. And hiding his tears we left our magical vacation behind us.

We dropped the rental off and were shuttled to the airport. The only things we had with us were our carryon stuff. We on purpose had a bag of all my kids purchases (swords, TOY guns, and the trinket stuff they won at the arcade, to show security. I thought it was better to be upfront and honest about these specific things. NOPE. They took all of it. Would not let us bring on plastic toys. We could put it in our suitcases but Disney had those. Another passenger behind us asked where we were going (he was a cop) and offered to put them in his luggage. Our kids were just so upset their toys they bought with the money family and friends gave them were being taken away. I think the last thing my DH said to them was: Hope your kids enjoy the toys!


We get to our terminal and our plane was delayed. Many families with kids were everywhere waiting for our plane to be ready. It was pretty crazy. I was getting so tired of chasing Malorie around. The boys made some friends and there were circles of kids just talking about their trips and playing games.

The ride itself was uneventful and we got home pretty late after taking my mom home. Dumped everything in the living room and crashed.

Our wonderful vacation was over. We accomplished secretly planning our family vacation and surprising our kids. We spent a fabulous week in WDW and got to do so many things. Everyday something about the trip is talked about. It lives on. We, me and Tim, are always pricing and seeing what we can do next time. He wants to go for 10 days. I’m thinking of splitting up hotels and trying something new. I even tried to do a mini weekend in June for Star Wars weekend, but now I’m happy I didn’t being pregnant and all. I can barely last a few hours looking for a dish washer.

Talk about surprises, a day after our trip, it happened. Baby number 4 was magically and secretly created. princess: There are things even I can’t plan.

Thanks for hanging in there,popcorn:: my mission is over and completed.:cheer2:
 
Hi
I just spent hours reading your entire report! So glad you had a great time!! I was so glad to hear how helpful the restaurants are about your son's allergies. 2 of my daughters have celiac disease (they can't have gluten) and this is their first trip to WDW, so it's great to hear about your experiences! Congrats on your new little one to be! Now you have another reason to go back--to introduce your new child to the world! :)

I'm sad it's over Monica! But so glad you shared it! I wish we had been able to meet up on our trips, but I still feel like we've gotten to know each other through our reports and the Peep thread. Maybe we'll share another trip someday. Can't wait to hear about the new little princess! :goodvibes

Make sure on your reservations they know about your daughters allergies and when you make your dinning ressies you need to bring it up. (If you haven't already done so.) Then ask for the chef's phone numbers of the restaurants you'll be eating at and a week before call and give them a heads up. They are so nice and understanding and accomodating. Once a chef walked to another restaurant just so he could bring a hamburger back and prepared it for Matt. I didn't even ask, he did it all on his own. That was at Crystal Palace.

Thanks so much for sharing with us, Monica! Be sure to update us when the baby gets here!
Barb
I sure will!

mony, I'm so sad your trip is over! Yes, I know it was over like 6 months ago, but it's just as sad reading about it now. Thanks so much for sharing this with us - it was a blast!

Not soon enough. With what we want to do, maybe when the baby is 2. Unlike some people I don't live as close as I would like to.

Aw, it's over! I really enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing with us!!

Glad too. Thanks for reading and following along!

Thanks for the compliments. I appreciate it very much. We stayed at the Coronado our first trip in 2003 and loved it. The pool was just awesome for the kids. Well, the parents too......Your wedding photo is just beautiful. How do you like Portage? and our crazy weather?
