She's Your Daughter!!!! A Girls Trip -- Last Day & Departure Day -- Pages 76 & 77

[KatMark]

nice photos of your walk to DTD...we need to do that one day!
so is that where you and Mark are staying in Sept ???
your food at looks yummy! need to try that too!

Thank you, Lisa. It's a very pretty walk and I'm glad we did it.

Still not saying where we are staying in September (probably because I haven't decided )

WPE was very yummy.

Love the new updates! Our home resort looks nice , maybe we SHOULD stay there some time.

The photos of the girls at DTD are cute, so sorry to hear it was your last day and you had to pack up again.

Karin, I now understand why you love OKW so much. I'd love to get a one-bedroom, but it's just a little too steep for us.

I hate last days.

It was a nice last day...I hate leaving too.

Karin, I now understand why you love OKW so much. I'd love to get a one-bedroom, but it's just a little too steep for us.

I hate last days.

I am happy to hear that you like OKW too, Kathy. Thank god it is the cheapest one of the DVC resorts, ..... and that the British continue their tradition of 40% off or we would not be able to afford it either!

Last days are the saddest days ever!

The day we all hate -- departure day. Why is it takes forever for the trip to get here, but then the trip goes so darn fast?????

In any event, we finished getting all the last minute stuff packed in the suitcases and awaited Bell Services to come and pick us up with our luggage.

Some final pictures of our area...goodbye room...thanks for having us:

Goodbye bus stop (but I don't want to be by ya next time):

We dropped the luggage off at Bell Services and then went to Olivia' for breakfast. We had eaten dinner here last year and loved it and I had heard great reviews of the breakfast. This was my treat to my three gals for letting me tag along.

Avery occupying herself until breakfast was served:

Cayley and that "I didn't do it grin"

Resturant ceiling:

More restaurant decorations:

Cayley's food:

Mary's food:

My food:

I guess I didn't get a picture of Avery's. I think she had either pancakes or french toast???

A few pictures before we went to the front of the resort to catch the ME bus:

Mary checking Avery's schoolwork:

It was then time. Time to go to the dreaded bus to go back to the dreaded airport and for me to go home to cold, wintery Chicago, and Mary and the girls to head back to warm Arizona.

Cayley waiting for the bus:

The girls doing their thing on the LONG bus ride to the airport:

Although a long bus ride, it was also a short bus ride if you know what I mean? Before we knew it, we were at the airport and my stop was before Mary and the girls. I hated the film on the bus and am glad I do NOT have to watch it in September. Besides already being sad as I was leaving Mary and the girls, that darn film made it worse. There are no "goodbye" pictures as I had tears in my eyes as I hugged my good friend, Mary, and her adorable girls goodbye.

It was a great trip and I am so glad they included me. I hope they didn't get too sick of me and invite me along next January for the next girls trip.

Thanks to all for sticking with me as this thing went on a lot longer than I would have liked.

We got to the bus area and the first bus there was: Saraotga Springs. I was kind of happy about this so that I could see SS a little closer because we have considered staying here at some point. We hopped the bus and we were off. We got off at SS (I don't remember which stop) and took the walk to DTD. We watched for alligators in the water but we didn't see any.

We've stayed on that end of SS before. It's a nice little walk to DTD.

We were getting tired and we knew we still had to pack, so we decided it was time to say goodbye to Disney and head back to OKW to do the dreaded packing.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!

We got off at the Hospitality House. I'm not sure if we had to pick something up in the Store or if Mary and I went for a drink (see, I told you I need to do these trip reports quicker as my "older years" make me forget sooner).

OOooooor....you got that drink. And then another. And then another. And then just forgot why you stopped there in the first place.

 

[KatMark]

It was a nice last day...I hate leaving too.

Thanks, Jen. It sucks!

I am happy to hear that you like OKW too, Kathy. Thank god it is the cheapest one of the DVC resorts, ..... and that the British continue their tradition of 40% off or we would not be able to afford it either!

Last days are the saddest days ever!

Loved it...after two stays there now, it is definitely a favorite.

Great job, Kathy! It looks like it was a wonderful trip, and thank you so much for sharing it with us! I really hope to see you in January! (If not sooner!)

 

[KatMark]

We've stayed on that end of SS before. It's a nice little walk to DTD.

A very pleasant walk on a beautiful day.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!

I know...it stinks!

OOooooor....you got that drink. And then another. And then another. And then just forgot why you stopped there in the first place.

Could very well be right, Barry.

Great job, Kathy! It looks like it was a wonderful trip, and thank you so much for sharing it with us! I really hope to see you in January! (If not sooner!)

Thank you, Barry. I hope to see you in January if not sooner myself (maybe we'll get out to Milwaukee this year for a trip to the Zoo and we can hook up for lunch).

 

[dizneeat]

Thanks for taking us all along on your trip, Kathy!

I really enjoyed all the photos and seeing all of you so happy. It's different if you have kids along .... got to experience that with Jeff and Lily's kids last summer.

So ..... when's the next trip? Are you doing a pre-trippie? I need something to haul me over until our trip in August.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Why would I do that when I don't like the Wilderness Lodge?????

You like Figment, and don't like the Wilderness Lodge. Sigh.

I took a few pictures along the way (across the water and of SS):

Nice pictures!

Looks like she wants to give you a Lady and the Tramp-style kiss.

We were getting tired and we knew we still had to pack, so we decided it was time to say goodbye to Disney and head back to OKW to do the dreaded packing.

We finished up and walked back to our room and proceeded to pack up the suitcases and throw out stuff we didn't need.

Weren't you just buying a bunch of stuff you didn't need?

The day we all hate -- departure day. Why is it takes forever for the trip to get here, but then the trip goes so darn fast?????

We have our best scientists working on this problem right now.

We dropped the luggage off at Bell Services and then went to Olivia' for breakfast. We had eaten dinner here last year and loved it and I had heard great reviews of the breakfast.

Is it good? Haven't eaten there yet.

It was a great trip and I am so glad they included me. I hope they didn't get too sick of me and invite me along next January for the next girls trip.

Thanks to all for sticking with me as this thing went on a lot longer than I would have liked.

Thanks for the report! It's always fun to read about your adventures!

 

[annmarieda]

Wait.... Its over???? NO!

Even though it was the last of your updates, I really enjoyed them. I love that boat ride to DTD... and WGPE is one of my favorites! I have been curious about SSR... it looks so big. Your pictures of OKW just have increased how much I want to someday stay there.

Now... just 3 months or so... (I know... some weeks are in there too) until your next trip.

 

[mommy2mrb]

last days are so hard, but you all made so many wonderful memories together! thank you for sharing your trip with us!

looking forward to your next adventure.........so can't resist and need to say.....

So Kathy, you've finished your TR what are you going to do next I know start a new PTR you're going to DISNEYWORLD AGAIN

 

[Poolrat]

Caught up and so sorry it is all done.

I know how last days are- all trip go just too fast.
A great time at EPCOT
Love Markie and Alisha in the ears

Had a good meal at Coral Reef and LOVE the Chocolate wave.
DTD is always a good choice and WPE is good ( except when they put peas in things they shouldn't) and Ghiradelli YUM


Looking forward to what is next.

 

[IheartDDuck]

You hit the nail right on the head. Trips take so long to get here and then you blink and they're over. That's my least favorite part for sure.

I'm glad you liked WPE. In November I ate there four times.

I hope you get invited on another girls trip as well.

 

[brookelizabeth]

I took some more pictures of the fountain (for you, Brook):

Oooh, love that fountain pic with the sun shining through the palms.

And the pics of you and the girls brought me to happy tears. So sweet. A wonderful report Kathy, I'm sure you all have memories you will treasure forever!

(and your pics of OKW made me soooo excited to go back in October!)

 

[englishrose47]

Great TR !!I hate that final ride too !!! Going to Universal inSeptember is gonna be tough , the first time I will be in Orlando and NOT Disney

 

[KatMark]

Thanks for taking us all along on your trip, Kathy!

So ..... when's the next trip? Are you doing a pre-trippie? I need something to haul me over until our trip in August.

Thanks for following along, Karin. It's been a long time since I did a full trip at Disney with kids and it was great.

The next trip is September 15, but I don't think I'll be doing a PTR.

You like Figment, and don't like the Wilderness Lodge. Sigh.

It looks too much like the lodges in Wisconsin, and we've had some run-ins with CM's there...so nope, I love Figment, but not WL.

Nice pictures!

Thank you.

Looks like she wants to give you a Lady and the Tramp-style kiss.

Yes, yes, she does.

Weren't you just buying a bunch of stuff you didn't need?

Um, NO! I actually bought my hubby some stuff.

We have our best scientists working on this problem right now.

Thank the Lord!

Is it good? Haven't eaten there yet.

Very, very good.

Thanks for the report! It's always fun to read about your adventures!

Thanks for hanging with me, Mark.

Wait.... Its over???? NO!

Even though it was the last of your updates, I really enjoyed them. I love that boat ride to DTD... and WGPE is one of my favorites! I have been curious about SSR... it looks so big. Your pictures of OKW just have increased how much I want to someday stay there.

Now... just 3 months or so... (I know... some weeks are in there too) until your next trip.

Yes, Ann, it's over. I hate that the trips go so fast.

The boat ride to DTD really saves on waiting forever for the buses. I really think you would like OKW...a very peaceful resort.

last days are so hard, but you all made so many wonderful memories together! thank you for sharing your trip with us!

looking forward to your next adventure.........so can't resist and need to say.....

So Kathy, you've finished your TR what are you going to do next I know start a new PTR you're going to DISNEYWORLD AGAIN

Lisa, you crack me up. The memories will last forever and I'm so grateful they let me tag along.

As I said earlier, I don't think I'll do a PTR.

Caught up and so sorry it is all done.

Thanks for reading, Pat. The Chocolate Wave was the bomb!

I still can't believe they put the peas in the alfredo. I'm looking at that for our September meal; I wonder if they'll hold the peas.

You hit the nail right on the head. Trips take so long to get here and then you blink and they're over. That's my least favorite part for sure.

I'm glad you liked WPE. In November I ate there four times.

I hope you get invited on another girls trip as well.

Four times? Did you do breakfast any of those times at WPE?

Thanks, I hope they invite me too.

Oooh, love that fountain pic with the sun shining through the palms.

And the pics of you and the girls brought me to happy tears. So sweet. A wonderful report Kathy, I'm sure you all have memories you will treasure forever!

(and your pics of OKW made me soooo excited to go back in October!)

That was my favorite picture of the fountain!

Thanks, Brook. The girls are so sweet and it was a great time.

I am so glad you are going back to OKW.

 

[KatMark]

Great TR !!I hate that final ride too !!! Going to Universal inSeptember is gonna be tough , the first time I will be in Orlando and NOT Disney

Thank you, Rosie. I'm sure you'll have a blast at Universal.

 

[shan23877]

I can't believe I missed so much! Love the fans you got the girls!

Saratoga Springs looks so pretty, we might have to try it sometime!

I hate when TRs come to an end. I hope that you'll have another TR going very soon for me to follow.

 

[mommy2mrb]

Lisa, you crack me up. The memories will last forever and I'm so grateful they let me tag along.

As I said earlier, I don't think I'll do a PTR.

happy I gave you a giggle say it ain't so Kathy, we need a PTR

well then you'd better do a TR or we will hunt you down
