QUICK RECAP OF HIGHS AND LOWS ON THREAD 30

Hi all

Have you missed me?

Sat in royal palm lounge at sanford airport

Had brilliant time,very very sad to have left

Saratoga springs is just gorgeous, loved it there.

Did not manage to do everything we wanted in the 3 weeks even though we did not stop.

The dining plan for us we found to be great, would def do it again even though had loads of counter services left - DH and mum never eat so much steak on dining plan - back to cereal from tomorrow - LOL

Hope everyone is ok, did not manage to see anyone from the DIS, few of us were poorly during the three weeks -typical.

Hope everyone fine, jealous of the people still to visit.

Checked and our plane has been changed so do not have the proper premium with first choice, though been told will get a refund of some sort. good news is they have sectioned off part of the plane as premium and left more spare seats there so hopefully we can spread out.

FC/Thomson premium was def worth the money - will update later on exactly what got - had things brought out nearly for the whole flight.

glad you had a great time, cant wait to hear all about it when you're back home

 

[kristieuk]

Glad you had a wonderful holiday.

That end of trip airport feeling is awful, I truly sympathise. Just think, you can't go again unless you come home, and at least when you get back you can start planning your next trip

Have a safe trip home

So good to hear that you had a good time. I have thought about you so often over the last three weeks. YOu did say you would probably not get to post but I knew you were flying home tonight. Safe travels. Will be thinking of you Looking forward to hearing the news once you have recovered, lol!

Well at least you are handling your blues better than I did last year. I didn't wait to get over the jetlag. I just booked the next trip

Also thinking of joining DVC.

Welcome home - hope your trip back was uneventful.

Can't wait to hear, and see, more. Hope you will be doing a trip report

 

[crabbie1]

I am sure you are home by now but hope you had a good flight and glad to hear you enjoyed your holiday. It is a horrible feeling when those wheels touch down. For me anyway though I always miss my siameses herbie and Kiara Looking forward to your TR and some pics.

 

[aaronandterri]

I always have post trip blues ~ my best cure, plan and book the next one.... expensive therapy!

Look forward to hearing about your trip and the thompson premium, shame about not getting it on way home, will be intresting to hear what they refunded / compensated for this?, this happened to my friend and she got an upgrade voucher for her next flight plus 250 refund.

 

[fuse04]

Yep same here!

Same here here, good meeting up but probably no WDW for 3 years, very depressing. First day back at work today

Did you survive your first day back? Great to hear that you all had a good time.

Now Eeyorefan, when you post on here again I have 1000 questions for you Hopefully you are catching up on some sleep. The jetlag on the return is just wicked!

 

[eeyorefanuk]

Hi just logged on quickly sooooooooooo tired.

Flight should have been 4.05pm - checked in and told no premium seating available on plane - not happy - rung today getting one way price of premium back, though did get everything else apart from the extra legroom.

Not impressed though, got on plane, and just before they shut the door pilot was told 5 people from gatwick flight had been refused entry into the US, and they had to come back on our plane. Had to wait over an hour and a half. OK if plane not working etc ok, but how can they allow a whole plane for wait that length of time - if I had arrived late for check in they would have not done that for me, and they were not even supposed to be on our plane - letter going complaining. Shame, after a great holiday but hey ho!

Arrived in UK about 6.30am - no sleep, two hour journey back home, stopped off for breakfast dropped mum home, then went to bed for three hours. Just done half my washing and tumble drying, now getting ready for sleep as work tomorrow - so depressed.

 

[2Tiggies]

Welcome back! Sorry about your flight. It's already over 9 hours so no, nobody wants to be left sitting on the runway for an extra 90 minutes! That's quite a thought though: 5 people denied entry. Must have been a group of them who arrived together and they wanted them all on the first available flight back.

Back to work tomorrow? YOu are as much of a sucker as I am going back straight away Get some sleep tonight. Part if how you feel is Disney Blues but a lot of it is sheer tiredness and you will need several days to catch up. It usually takes me a good week to get back to normal. It's a good sign though - I take it you loved it! We'll torture you with questions when you are feeling up to it.

I'm hoping for two years but more likely three years too

That's a loooooong time with no Disney. Are you sure you can all last that long?
