Hi everyone! Since there is so much to tell, I will condense this into a "Reader's Digest" version & just give some of the highlights of our trip.
This was our 1st time staying at Pop. Cute place, great theming & loved the refillable mugs! DH said he wouldn't stay there again because it's so spread out, and everyone seems to be at the food court at the same time. So I guess it's also our last stay at Pop!
The absolute highlight of our trip was the Segway tour at Epcot. If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and take the tour!! It was even more fun than I imagined, and it was amazing being in Epcot with nobody else in the park!

Another really fun thing to do at Epcot is to go into Club Cool & wait for unsuspecting victims to try the Beverly. Gaack!!
I could have stayed in there all day, it was so funny. So, here's my "bitter Beverly face":

Every time we go to WDW, we see the sea raycers and think, "that looks like fun." So this time we finally rented one, which was a great way to see MK and the resorts from a different perspective. Oh, and I love how the vests say "Super Soft", because after all the eating we did, that's exactly how we felt! (I'm getting good at taking these "Clark W. Griswold"-style pics!)

Another first-time for us was finally seeing Devine! Wow, she was really cool.

There were also a lot of attractions we had never seen in the past, like the American Adventure, Carousel of Progress, and Living with the Land. I guess we really slowed down long enough to catch them this time around.
Aside from the usual kid-meltdowns, we didn't see too much drama during our trip (except a mother and daughter who were about to throw down in the photo shop at MK!). The only bad experience we had was at the Rainforest Cafe at DTD. It was an hour & 15 minute wait to be seated (so we just stroled around DTD). When we finally got seated and ordered, it took over 45 minutes to get our food! I ordered a burger well-done, which was raw inside; DH got pot roast, which was dry and oversalted. So, after hours of waiting to eat, we took one bite and got the heck out of there!
I didn't spot any DISers during our trip, but I did get spotted by one! One morning entering MGM, a woman came up to me and said, "Glad to see you remembered your lime green Mickey; I forgot mine!" She said she had been on the DIS for about 6 months, but had never posted. Unfortunately I didn't get her DIS name.
One day in Epcot, we happened upon a bunch of characters and barely any people waiting to take pics. So I got to march with Mickey!
All in all it was a great time, but I'm completely exhausted now and am still having trouble walking! But it's always magical going to Disney.
