"So what do you want to do next?" An April '10 TR...final thoughts 8/2 p. 63

[wisblue]

The only thing you forgot about our last day was that we stopped for lunch at the bakery in France. I love those ham and cheese croissants!

Great report of a wonderful trip. We'll have to do something like that again sometime! Next year may be different if your sister gets in the College Program, but otherwise if I were you I would be making regular trips over Easter break. The weather is usually nice and the crowds are manageable for those of us who know what we're doing and are willing to get up early.

 

[Mickey_Mom]

You're done too.

Nice way to spend your last morning. I love the random pictures and the WS loop. That little chair on the balcony is adorable!

Too bad they couldn't have put you guys on the later plane with your luggage.

Ahh, what a great dad.

I am going with my 3 sisters, my niece and maybe my 2 dd's if they can get off school and work next April. Anyways, my sister and niece told me they only want to go to WDW (only) one day, and that is to watch my nephew march at the MK. They want to sit at a beach in Florida and do nothing-this is what they do all summer at my parents house in Wautoma, though it is not an ocean, but a lake.

Thanks Sara for finishing. And I'm sure you are counting down this last week to be with your sisters in Florida.

Last days are so hard. It sounds like you had a fantastic trip though and remember.........

Don't be sad because it's over....be happy because it happened!

Aww last day ):
When I went in April, I found my animal from the year I was born (I'm a rat... wow, lucky me) I actually fit it pretty well, which surprised me!
Too funny the girls infront of you had posters of Justin Bieber and Taylor Lautner; I'm not really a fan of either of them, I prefer Nick Jonas LOL

It was pretty amusing that they made it like their "bedrooms." So funny. LOL about Nick Jonas!

Yeah, I was even thinking about that and then forgot to post it.

I am sad the TR is over but it was a lot of fun. We got to do a lot of stuff and I think the best new thing we did was definitely the tour. I loved that.

You're done too.

Nice way to spend your last morning. I love the random pictures and the WS loop. That little chair on the balcony is adorable!

Glad you liked the pictures of WS.

haha, I know, right?!

That sounds like it'll be a fun trip! Bummer they only want to go to WDW one day though. We were never the type to just go and sit around on a beach. We know some people love that but we would rather be doing something!

Yep, the countdown is on...this time next week we should be at the airport! Can't believe it's coming up so fast.

You know, it's funny you say that because when we were leaving I kept thinking of a similar quote. My senior year of high school we made a scrapbook for our coach and all the girls got a copy too. It said "Do not cry because it's over...smile because it happened." So true though.

 

[not_Joanna_eggs]

Boo for the last day. Though, isn't it nice to know you have a TR to come back and write, and then you have to hurry up and finish that because you're going again?

We bought that mickey gnome for DH's Grandma last year - she collects gnomes. It' so cute!

about those girls on the plane!

I also liked your goodbye pictures, it reminded me of "Goodnight Moon" which was a childhood favorite of mine.

 

[dismagiclover]

I come back from vacation and you're trip report is over Sounds like a wonderful last morning though just bumming around the world showcase. I'm looking forward to your final thoughts.

 

[Cat0727]

Waaa your last day is officially over You were able to get one last walk in around the WS, though, which sounded like a nice way to spend your last morning.

I've seen that Mickey gnome in so many TRs that I really want one now, even if I don't have a garden. I can just put it out on our terrace with my mom's flowers!

 

[meeko_33785]

Sounds like a nice last day. EPCOT looks great for the Flower and Garden Festival. We haven't been able to make it to Disney in the springtime in many years. I really enjoy seeing pictures of the Festival and how much it's changed. You got a few really nice shots.

 

[xoktenox]

Sarah, another excellent TR! I hateeeeeeee the last day, even just reading about yours made me sad lol but you will be there again in just a few more days!!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

I'm catching up on the last 2 updates!

The wristlet is cute..I'm not into DB but I love coach, the DB was cute but I still don't think I would buy it, I dunno though haaa

Sorry about the luggage, you'd figure that if you have to be there 2 hours before that it should make it..maybe it was a busy day??

 

[Angies1274]

Aww...last days are always the worst! Your saying goodbye to the savannah, the turtle, etc...made me so sad!

I loved all your topairy pictures though. That's great that you were able to go back to Epcot to get one last look!

That's so funny that our luggage ended up arriving too early and yours arrived too late. Huh? Oh well...at least we got our luggage...right?

Can't wait to read your final thoughts.

 

[brookelizabeth]

Oh, last days stink! But I think you guys spent it in a great way touring around Epcot and soaking up some last-minute magic!

I also like how you remembered past trips during the video - that is such a great idea! And you know you'll be back, so it's not so bad. But it still STINKS! The ride back to the airport always so blaaaaaaaaaaah.

LOL, that is funny! Have you dropped any hints yet?

Yep! We even had a full conversation about it - when I realized there would be no where for me to put my cell phone...or is there?

 

[MarieTheCat24]

Alright, I'm all caught up! I'm sad that this is the end, but excited to read all about your next trip!!

Um, I don't really know what to comment on since I just read so much, but last days are the worst. YAY FOR FULL HOUSE REFERENCES!!! And that Aladdin topiary is AWESOME. I wonder what kind of plant they used to make his hair...Hmmm...

 

[DevonsDisneyMom]

YAY for less then a week to go till your next Disney trip!!! I know you must be just as excited as we are!!!

Yes it is! When we first got back I thought I'd be waiting until December. It's so crazy we're going so soon!

The gnome is super cute. Loved it!

Yeah, Dad and I were cracking up about that. Too funny.

Aww. You're right, it is kind of like Goodnight Moon. I didn't even think of that as I was writing it.

I come back from vacation and you're trip report is over Sounds like a wonderful last morning though just bumming around the world showcase. I'm looking forward to your final thoughts.

It was a fun way to spend the morning rather than sitting around doing nothing. Thank goodness for our APs!

I've seen that Mickey gnome in so many TRs that I really want one now, even if I don't have a garden. I can just put it out on our terrace with my mom's flowers!

Yep, so sad. Atleast I'll have a new TR to start soon.

That sounds like a good idea! Who needs a garden for the Mickey anyway? haha

Sounds like a nice last day. EPCOT looks great for the Flower and Garden Festival. We haven't been able to make it to Disney in the springtime in many years. I really enjoy seeing pictures of the Festival and how much it's changed. You got a few really nice shots.

Thanks Meeko. Glad you enjoyed all the F&GF pictures. It is such a great time to go. And we were lucky there was nice weather too.

Sarah, another excellent TR! I hateeeeeeee the last day, even just reading about yours made me sad lol but you will be there again in just a few more days!!

Thanks Kristen! I hate reading about last days too. I can't wait for yours and tinkgurl's TR! Hope she and her family made it home safely.

 

[MHTeacher]

Awww, the end of a TR! But YAY for you---you'll be there in less than a week!

That's too funny about the girls putting out their posters on the plane. I guess they needed to have their loved ones with them, even during their flight. LOL

Sorry about the luggage, you'd figure that if you have to be there 2 hours before that it should make it..maybe it was a busy day??

I'm not really into D&B either, in fact I don't even know if I could identify a D&B bag other than the Disney ones. I had seen so many reports where people got those things that I really wanted one!

I don't know what was going on with the luggage. I wonder if it had something to do with checking in early?

Aww...last days are always the worst! Your saying goodbye to the savannah, the turtle, etc...made me so sad!

I loved all your topairy pictures though. That's great that you were able to go back to Epcot to get one last look!

Can't wait to read your final thoughts.

Last days do stink. It's so depressing leaving all the fun stuff behind.

Glad you enjoyed the pictures from Epcot.

That's right, atleast it wasn't lost! That would've been a great ending to our trip.

Oh, last days stink! But I think you guys spent it in a great way touring around Epcot and soaking up some last-minute magic!

I also like how you remembered past trips during the video - that is such a great idea! And you know you'll be back, so it's not so bad. But it still STINKS! The ride back to the airport always so blaaaaaaaaaaah.

Thanks. Walking around WS was a fun way to spend the morning since we weren't able to make it all the way around when we went to Epcot.

Yeah, it was so funny hearing them talk about MNSSHP, MVMCP, the F&GF, and F&WF and I was like geez, we've been to WDW for all of those! OK that was a lot of acronyms in one sentence.

Yep! We even had a full conversation about it - when I realized there would be no where for me to put my cell phone...or is there?

haha! Nice!

Alright, I'm all caught up! I'm sad that this is the end, but excited to read all about your next trip!!

I am excited to read all about your trip too!

I am slightly obsessed with Full House so felt I had to include some of those references. Some of the topiaries are amazing. It's so neat seeing what they can do. I didn't take a pic of it this trip but there was also one of Lady and the Tramp where Lady's ears were made of these long, stringy plants. It was so cool!

YAY for less then a week to go till your next Disney trip!!! I know you must be just as excited as we are!!!

We are excited! We leave so soon! Hope you and Devon have a great time!

 

[Bridora]

Wow! I had a lot to catch up on!

Your D&B wristlet is cute! Sounds kind of like me & VB--I never really wanted one until I saw everyone's on the DIS!

Sounds like you had a nice little bonus time at Epcot...last days are always so heartbreaking. Your "goodbye" pictures were so sad...

But at least you will be there so so super soon, now!

Thanks for sharing your trip with us! I've learned a lot! And I can't wait for the souvenir update!

 

[SoonerGirl]

Somehow I missed the post about your last day! I saw all these comments about luggage and I didn't remember reading anything about luggage - I had to go back and find it!

The last day always stinks, it's just so sad to be going home. One of these days I want to try a really long trip, like 2 weeks and see if that helps the not wanting to leave feeling - somehow I doubt it will make a difference...

Thanks for posting those pics of the Chinese zodiac animals. I wanted to take a picture of all of them, but only found 11 - the rabbit was the one I missed!
