Our Magical WDW Adventure -24 Days of Food and Fun-Updated 3/8 -Come Join Us

Hey everyone. Well were home safe and feeling the depression setting in already :sad1: The one consolation was it was great to see our cats again, they seemed happy to see us too.

Our flight back was great, PE is definitely the way to go, so much more room and storage space, and real china and cutlery. Unfortunately there was a bit of a delay but we made most of it up on the way back.
We had an amazing holiday full of amazing experiences, maybe not enough rest and sleep but it was definitely worth it. I will write a full trip report when we our unpacked and settled back in, although my parents and Sophie are coming up next week so it may take a bit longer. Anyway here our our highs and lows:

LOWS
Not many really and nothing major
* Ohana was a bit of a let down - although its still really good it didn't live up till last time
* Disney service - in general it was great but it seems to be slipping in some area's and we did experience some rude and grumpy servers
* Our parasailing getting cancelled due to winds and not being able to fit it in again
* Parking at Coronado Springs - everyone, cast members and conventioners were parking in the guest lot although they had there own parking too. I saw people struggling to their cars at the back of the lots with luggage and kids whilst cast members were parked right near the front
* Coming home :cry:

HIGHS
So many but here are the main ones
* Staying at the Polynesian - a beautiful resort, great service and so convenient. And we had the most magnificent view, it was perfect
* Staying at the Yacht Club - another great resort, great location, great pool and another great view
* Our Illuminations Cruise - I booked it as a surprise for Nick and it was brilliant, and he got me a white chocolate Mickey with strawberries
* Discovery Cove - amazing like usual
* The Royal Pacific - a lovely resort and it great being able to walk to City Walk. And those Front of Line passes were so cool
* Seaworld Shark Dive and Crystal River Manatee swim- both so cool
* Hot air balloon ride - an amazing experience
* The Blue Man Group - amazing, so creative, funny and different
* La Nouba - amazing as usual
* Hoop-dee-doo Musical Revue - brilliant show, great food, great table
* The Princess and Pirate Party - it was really good, the crowds were so low and the parade and fireworks were fabulous
* Wishes - I have never realized how amazing they are, we saw them 4 times from 4 different views
* Great restaurants - we had some great food, our top ones off hand were old favorites Sharks Underwater Grill, Tchoup Chop and the Cheesecake Factory, and some great new ones including Texas de Brazil, Yachtsman Steakhouse, California Grill and Le Cellier
* Great weather - it was so hot and sunny nearly the whole time. We had a bit of rain on the first evening and then none again until 3 days before we came home
* Great crowds - the longest we waited was 20 minutes, even the bigs rides had short waits (except Peter Pan which was an hour as usual)
* The mustang - Nick absolutely loved it and didn't want to leave it
* The segway tour - it was really good, Nick now wants one
I think thats all but there was so many amazing things its hard to name them all

Thanks hun. Yes of course we both want to be back there but it was good to see our cats, we really missed them :grouphug:.

And yes I took a few pictures, I had filled a 4gb and 2gb memory card by the 2nd week. I had to keep deleting photo's so I had room to take more :confused3

That sucks that you had to delete pictures. :headache:

When do we get an update? :hyper:
 
Hey guys, hopefully it wont be too long before I start posting my trippies but I am back at work tomorrow, Sunday and Monday and then Mum, Dad and Sophie are coming up to stay on Tuesday for a few days. I have been trying to get all our suitcases unpacked, the huge pile of washing started (doesn't help we have ran out of washing powder) and all our souvenirs and goodies sorted but it seems to be taking forever ... did I mention how much we brought?

Good news though I have began to upload my photo's to photobucket, the bad news is I have millions, I had used my 4gb and 2gb cards by the second week so I have a lot of pictures to sort through. I did keep a daily diary that I just need to edit, in all it totaled around 35,000 words, I bet your all wishing you hadn't asked me to do one now :sad2: .

No way, I'm glad you decided to do one and that you have so much information for us! :thumbsup2
I just hope it doesn't take TOO long, but I'll be here no matter when you start. I know once you get everything sorted out that you will start updating.

Have a great time with your family next week!!!
 
:rolleyes1 waiting patiently. I'll be here whenever you get the chance.

Thanks, I'll try and make it soon I promise. The thing is I dont want to start it and then leave a massive gap before I post any more, I know that can get frustrating and I dont want to do that to you guys :)

I'm here but I can't promise I'm waiting patiently. :goodvibes
He he now worries :lmao:

waiting.... I'm excited to hear what souvies you bought. I love seeing peoples' goodies and treats.:goodvibes
Me too, thats why I thought I would take lots of pictures of them too... and believe me theres quite a few :woohoo:

Welcome home!! I just logged on and saw you had written quite a bit. Can't wait to hear it all and see your pictures!
Hiya glad you have joined me again. Promise it will be up asap :thumbsup2
 
Well I'm slowly getting there on uploading the photos except twice I have spent an hour or so uploading some for it to cancel itself just before the end... its so frustrating :furious:. At least I will have lots of photos to post for you though, although I cant promise they will be good :confused3.

I am just trying to upload some more now whilst waiting for Mum, Dad and Soph to turn up. They always take forever, I hate sitting and waiting for them to come. Me, Scamp and Tigger are just watching Neighbours, I cant believe how much of it I have missed. Oh and Mum is bringing up Honey (the dog) - the trouble is the cats are terrified of her, especially Tigger. Last time she came it took him months to stop looking for her every time a door opened. I don't know where to put Honey to sleep, somewhere that isn't going to bother Scamp and Tigger?

Oh and the weather :(, this time last week we were in gorgeous sunny Florida and now we our stuck inside whilst outside it is pouring with rain. We were planning on having a BBQ with Mum but if it stays like this that will be out the question. We are also stuck with what to do if it keeps raining... any ideas?
 
pixiedust: some pixie dust for the pictures to download smoothly and swiftly
pixiedust: that the :cat::cat: and :dog2: get along and poor ol' tigger is fine with it all
more pixiedust: that the weather changes for you. :beach:
 
ooohhh I hope that those picture fairies work their magic soon or you might feel like this guy:badpc: and then we'll all feel like this :(
