Hi, everybody!
I'm finally home--one of the last to arrive, and one of the last to get home! We arrived at home late yesterday, after spending an unexpected night at the Holiday Inn Express at Orlando Airport--we were bumped from our flight! It paid off nicely, however. The hotel was really nice, if you ever need to spend a night at the airport, I'd highly recommend it! They flew us home yesterday in first class (OK, so we didn't want to get off the plane when it finally landed in Newark

) and sent us home with $600 in vouchers for future travel, so please see my new countdown!
We had the best WDW vacation we've ever had. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet more of you, but we had fun anyway!
I'll be posting a "Trip Synopsis" rather than a trip report because I didn't take detailed notes this time, but there are a few highlights to share! I also took loads of pictures, some of which are still on my laptop, but they'll all be posted before the weekend.
We loved the free dining, and, like Michelle, we didn't think it was too much food. We used a few snack credits for donuts and things for breakfast in our room, had CS for lunch each day, and TS for dinner each night. We had great food and great service everywhere we went.
We didn't buy too many souvenirs. Every time I tried to buy something, Jim said "But we're coming back soon, right?" since my niece is getting married in March, and we were planning to fly down for a night before the wedding festivities and make a quick WDW stop. Our plans have changed a bit, though, and we'll be coming down more than a week ahead of time, along with DS Jim3, DDIL Lori and DGD Shannan. Now they can pick out their own souvenirs.
CathrynRose: Give those Crocs another try (in the right size, of course). Like I told you, they are the greatest shoes I've ever had. After all of the walking we did, my feet feel even better than they did before. I never got blisters or sore, tired feet at all, and I usually have to soak my feet every night while at WDW.
And, just this morning on my way to the office, I found out that my new home will be ready for us to move in two weeks earlier than planned. We can start moving in next Wednesday! So now I have all my dirty laundry to wash and everything I own to pack. I think I need a vacation already!
