Cast of Characters:

Me: 28, lover of all things Disney and co-planner (4th trip)
Sister (M): 15, 1st time @ WDW, 1st time flying, 1st time taking a real vacation

Cousin (DC): 32, loves WDW (although he tries to deny it) very good at always being 9 feet in front of everyone else
Cousin's Wife (DCW): almost 30, lover of Disney, co-planner -has the patient of a saint
Cousin's son (DCS): 5, he is by far the funniest child I have ever met. he had me laughing (even through the medicine induced fog) the entire trip

First let me begin by saying that I have been waiting for the trip for 11 1/2 months. I know alot of people wait alot longer but I am a travel agent and sell Disney everyday so the waiting has been torture.

This is my fourth trip to WDW so I pretty much have an idea of what I want to do. I planned an itinerary w/ DCW. DC and DCW have been there 4 times as well. This was DCS 2nd trip to WDW. They were there last September so he too has an idea of what he wants to do. The only member of our group oblivious to the whole thing is M who I repeatedly asked to do some reading so she wouldn't be lost when we got there. She failed to do that.

That being said I came to the conclusion on this trip that although she and I generally get along, we are NOTHING alike. We are total opposites. She is such a "teenager". I was not really prepared for that.

Anyway, the day we left I had my parents take us to the airport to avoid paying over $52 in parking fees. DC and family were meeting us @ the airport.
We stopped @ Dunkin Donuts on the way to the airport for bagels for the plane. To make a long story short, I realized 15 minutes later I didn't have my purse. My purse that had ALL my cash, credit cards, and ID. Keep in mind that w/out my ID I cannot get on the plane. Everything else could be replaced.
My father is now furious that I could be so stupid. Well, DAD, if you had helped me carry things out to the car I wouldn't have lost my purse. Drive back to Dunkin Donuts and thank godness there are some decent people still left in the world because someone had found my purse and had turned it in to the cashier.
To that person THANK YOU SO MUCH-YOU SAVED MY VACATION!

By the way, thank you all so much for all your adviced and suggestions! You have been ever so helpful.

Part I tommorrow

Thank goodness you got your purse back. My first trip to WDW, I left my purse on the X-ray scanner at the airport. Luckily, the lady behind me caught up with me to return it. We were both lucky that good people were around us that day.
