well we started the drive home today. We are staying overnight in NC and then doing the second leg of the trip tomorrow. So sad lol we have the Disney blues. We both cried a little this morning when we left haha. We ran into another family in Georgia at a McDonalds at lunch time who also just left Disney and they were also suffering from the Disney blues. it's funny how we disney folks find each other even when we aren't at Disney anymore.
I think we are going to plan another trip for the end of January 2012. We can't stand to wait a whole year to go back lol. We are thinking of getting a studio at OKW or BW. We have stayed at OKW before and we love it there but thought maybe we would try something different. Since it will just be the three of us the studio room should be fine for us.
We did love BLT though. The MK view was spectacular and we are totally spoiled lol. The room was really nice and the cast members were great.
DD got so many great birthday surprises. We came back to the room the one day to a nice birthday card from mickey with a special cinderella pin and a voice mail from mickey and minnie singing happy birthday. DD was absolutely thrilled to death.
It was an amazing trip. One of the best trips we've ever had. Lots of special pixie dust moments.... just the little things that really made it special and some AMAZING character interactions.
But I don't think we will go again in september. WAYYYYYYYY too hot for my liking. The heat just took so much out of us and it was hard to enjoy our time because we were always dripping with sweat and suffering in the heat.
I will do a trip report when we get home and post pictures and such. I will also be writing a letter to disney with special mentions for the cast members who went above and beyond to make our trip special... there are quite a few lol. For example... we went to MK monday and DD met the princesses. The next day we had the princess lunch at the akershus and it just so happened that Belle and Snow white were the same Belle and snow white from the previous day and BOTH remembered DD from their meeting the day before. that just amazed me considering they probably see hundreds if not thousands of children everyday. So for them to remember her and make special mention of it was so thrilling for her (and me LOL)
One of the coolest parts of the trip was pick a pearl. We picked two and the first oyster they opened up had a silver blue pearl inside

it is STUNNING.
I will be sure to post photos but for now I am BEAT so it's bedtime for me lol
I hope all who are travelling home stay safe and all those who are on their way or at the world are having the time of their lives.
After spending a week totally immersed in magic and pixie dust it's going to be hard to go back to reality land. It's like withdrawls lol
