Fun pics as you did your run.
Loved all the plane pics. I felt like I was flying along with you.
Oh your favorite classic for a nap is so wrong. LOL
Great way to end the report.
Have a great time on your next trip. Can’t wait to hear all about it.

Great wrap up, Mary Ellen!! I loved this TR, and I look forward to the next one. Can't wait for October! It would be so great if we could meet up while we are there.

Thanks so much for following along and I definitely plan to come by the MK and see you guys on the 24th. I must wish Paxton a happy birthday!

3 days!!! ​

YAY!!!!! 2 DAYS!!!!!

I usually buy one a trip but the majority of mine have come from the Disney store online, after the holidays, when they're cheap.

Now your talking my language sister - I'm all about the cheap. Rock on with the holiday clearance sales.

Great job with the picture recap! Enjoyed your "firsts" as I've actually done some of those. And you posted some of my favs from the trip too!

Thanks! I love doing a firsts & favorites recap. It's a great way to look back and reflect on the trip that I have been writing about for MONTHS!

Love the MNSSHP and I have to agree that the Boo to You parade may be my favorite also.

There are so many great things about that parade. It's got just the right amount of festive versus scary. I mean, who doesn't like Halloween? It's a Halloween lovers dream!

Really enjoyed tagging along on this TR with you ladies! It has been a lot of fun!

Well, we've enjoyed having you tag along with all you witty and sometimes thought provoking comments!

Hope your upcoming trip goes great Mary Ellen! Can't wait to hear about the trip and the DISmeets.

Thanks! I am really looking forward to a nice couples vacation. Can't believe its almost here.

So are you saying it weighed more than a 1/2 pound???

Maybe.

Nah - I just worry about breaking or losing stuff when I am loaded down like a sherpa.

All caught up- what a great wrap up!

Hey Marissa! Are you home now? How was your trip? So glad you liked the wrap up!

Before you are ready to fly away again.....


Have a great make-up trip.

Nothing like a do-over! Chances are its better than the trip you had to DO-over!

Enjoy off site and cherish every moment.

Thanks. I intend to do just that!!!!

Great wrap-up. I loved all the pictures of your first. Hopefully I will start at the beginning of your next trip report, so I do not have to play catch-up the whole report.

So glad you enjoyed the wrap-up and I hope you get a chance to officially catch up. I finally have all my links up to date so hopefully that will help the process.

Best wishes for your next trip. I hope your new job works out wonderfully without the traffic.

Thanks. I am looking forward to my trip and my new job and I am definitely looking forward to a better commute!

Fun pics as you did your run.

Thanks. I love taking run pics because its usually someplace I wouldn't be with a camera, so I always bring my phone long for pics. Well, for that and for safety.

Loved all the plane pics. I felt like I was flying along with you.

Thanks! I am really please with the way the pictures turned out. It was fun to just take whatever pics I wanted without having a roommate next to me to think I was crazy.

Oh your favorite classic for a nap is so wrong. LOL

Really? What's yours? Actually, I love CoP. I think my real fav for a nap is HOP.

Great way to end the report.
Have a great time on your next trip. Cant wait to hear all about it.

Thanks and thanks. Can't believe my next trip is just around the corner.

one of the best things I ever did for my sanity and my family was take a job closer to home. You will LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So soon, I'm so excited for you!

My current job is really not that far away. I just hate the commute because its SO annoying! I will be happy to shave some miles off the commute, that's for sure.

So soon, I'm so excited for you!

I know. So many loose ends to tie up.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

I need to go back to find your firsts & favorites. I've been gone for several days & trying to catch up, must have fallen asleep while trying to read your TR!

The sleep was not because of your writing, just me not getting enough sleep. This was a good TR to read, so many good times as well as the bittersweet memory of Tracy's passing. An altogether different Disney experience this trip, may this one be one to always remember. I hope I don't sound too sappy.

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Finally went back to finish what I missed. A very good wrap up of firsts & likes. Your photos have improved so mush over the past few years. The were several of them during your wrap up that I would love to have hanging on my walls.

I will be waiting to sign on your report of your new upcoming Disney vacation.

Have to go to son's house to say goodby to our grandcat, we just learned she has cancer & it won't be lone before she crosses the Rainbow Bridge. My DIL will be devastated. Those fur babies sure do take over our hearts.

I'm so sorry. Saying goodbye is so very hard

Great wrap up, Mary Ellen! I always love seeing your summary of pictures and firsts. That shot of ToT in the evening....beautiful!

It was enjoyable reading about a girl's trip. All the girls in my family try and take a vacation once a year, just to get a break from work and husbands and kids rotfl2, so I completely understand how special they can be. It's nice hanging out with someone who appreciates the break away from reality and isn't still expecting anything from you.
And it sounds like you and Cynthia had a wonderful vacation! You guys seemed to enjoy every minute of Disney, from the F&W Festival to the random finds to the room views, which is what it's all about.

Now I can't wait to read about your next trip!

Have a fantastic trip Mary Ellen!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who falls asleep while reading TRs. It's not a matter of them being boring. Sometimes just relaxing with a good TR is enough to induce the need to take a nap.

The sleep was not because of your writing, just me not getting enough sleep. This was a good TR to read, so many good times as well as the bittersweet memory of Tracy's passing. An altogether different Disney experience this trip, may this one be one to always remember. I hope I don't sound too sappy.

Not sappy at all. It was a wonderful trip and unique is so many ways. One of those ways was the fact that it was to be the last time I saw Tracy, but I didn't know that at the time.

Finally went back to finish what I missed. A very good wrap up of firsts & likes. Your photos have improved so mush over the past few years. The were several of them during your wrap up that I would love to have hanging on my walls.

Glad you liked my wrap up and thank you for the compliment on the pictures. I really appreciate that. It really is fun to see how my photographer has changed. I feel like I'm sort of stuck in a rut now, but hopefully I will progress again.

I will be waiting to sign on your report of your new upcoming Disney vacation.

I actually have most of my first installment written. I may post it before I leave and I may wait. Still undecided. Depends how much time I have today and tomorrow morning.

Have to go to son's house to say goodby to our grandcat, we just learned she has cancer & it won't be lone before she crosses the Rainbow Bridge. My DIL will be devastated. Those fur babies sure do take over our hearts.

Oh No! I am so sorry your son't cat has cancer. That's so sad and so hard. But I like that whole vision of the Rainbow Bridge. Those fur babies certainly do take over our hearts. No doubt about it!

I'm so sorry. Saying goodbye is so very hard

It really is and its really hitting home to me because Max has had all his medical issues.

Great wrap up, Mary Ellen! I always love seeing your summary of pictures and firsts. That shot of ToT in the evening....beautiful!

So glad you enjoyed the wrap up! I really do like that night time shot of ToT. That is the product of some heavy editing!

We really did enjoy this vacation. Every moment. It was like opening up a surprise package and never knowing what's inside. Good, bad, or indifferent, we just went with it and rolled from one experience to the next. That's so wonderful that your family has adopted the "girl's trip". They really are so special.

Now I can't wait to read about your next trip!

Very soon!

Have a fantastic trip Mary Ellen!!!

Thanks Wendy - Almost there!

Have a great trip Mary Ellen!!!

Thanks Sheree - tomorrow this time I'll be at the airport!

[PracPerfPatricia]

Wow... great wrap up

(I love being able to go back and see the new things and best of s of a trip...)

Denny's shirt is awesome ...

Seriously the chairs... really have names? I thought they were made up names... and there they are bold as brass on their backs... & I never noticed those creepy little feet before...

Also loving those photos of the sights along the East Coast... tug boat in the Delaware Bay... pretty darn cute...

Looking forward to hearing about the trip you are currently on... and Cynthia getting over to your Hawaiian adventure...
