This can't be the end of your report. So sad, I need a Oct. pre-trip report. But I understand once school start, their are papers to grade, and lessons to plan. Have a great year and may Chelsea adjust wonderfully to middle school.
We are still hoping for an October pre-trip report -- if not, I will start the one for next summer soon. I won't be able to resist!
Chelsea had a wonderful first day of middle school -- more on that to come!
One that will last all of four days...
But one that was worth the wait!
That's what I wanna know!
No one should attempt to talk to me when I first come out of sleep -- just saying.
Oh. Well I guess that makes some sense, but...
Oh, I know -- I am still kicking myself -- we never even rode Everest this trip.
And they will appear...they will appear...
I can't believe your TR is almost done!

I hope you think that 10 months isn't too soon to start a PTR, because I am going to go through major Jackie withdrawals, complete with cold sweats and shaking.

My ego and I thank you for the sentiment! I won't be able to hold off on starting a PTR for long -- I know myself well enough to know that will never happen.
The pics of Chelsea and Connor are precious!
I can't believe your tr is almost over.
I hope you get to Disney with Charles in October.
I hope you, Chelsea, and Connor have a wonderful first day of school. May it be a fast, productive year. Fast so June can get here and you can be in Disney again
But I have passed the Disney Torch to you and I know you are having a fabulous time right now as you check into the Polynesian!
Fingers crossed for October -- I have been having bad, bad, bad Disney withdrawals all week.
I want June to come quickly, but I don't think I want to wish away the next year too fast!
awwwwwwww........this is so sweet!!!!! your kids are just too adorable.
reminds me of a picture of me and my little brother. although i'm 10 years older than him so it's not so much a matter of us constantly fighting, but of him wanting to do everything i did and me being annoyed by him! he gave me this picture in a card on the day i got married and i have it framed in my office. i'm guessing i was about 13 and he was about 3 here. we were both sound asleep when my dad took it.
so sad your TR is almost done. can't wait to see your souvenirs though!!! and i hope there's another trip to read about in your near future.
Thank you! That picture of you and your brother is precious -- my brother and I are almost 12 years apart so I know what you mean about not fighting too much -- but there was some arguing between us when we were younger -- I think it is the nature of being siblings.
I hope there is another trip soon, too, but if not, I have lots of TRs (yours included) to look forward to reading -- that will help to stave off the Disney Wanderlust a little bit!
Sorry that you missed AK on that last day. Next time you'll listen to Charles, huh?
That's for sure!
I am sorry your TR is over, but soooo sooo happy that it coincided with my leaving for my trip!! I got to get my Disney itch scratched almost up to departure day.
And now you are at the Beach Club!!! Lucky dog!!!
I love the pics of Chelsea and Connor. So adorable.
Thank you!
sad that u r home now. it was fun. 10 months will go by faster than u know.
If it goes as fast as last week did, then it will fly by!
The pictures of the kids sleeping are cute.
Thank you!
I can't believe it's almost over! I guess I knew you had to finish and go back to school. You will be doing an extra long pretrip report for next year, right?
You better believe it!
Gosh I hate the end!

And you are not the only one tearing up as they leave Disney property!

The sleeping pictures are adorable!! Charles asking about EMH... he's really starting to embrace this Disney thing. DVC could be an "easy" sell... now all you have to do is gather a spare $15K or whatever it costs!
He is pretty much all for DVC -- I am trying to be the responsible one though.

Wanna take bets on how long I will hold out??? I am thinking next year!
10 months does seem like a long time but there are resorts to investigate (and switch to), ADR's, touring plans and other fun stuff to keep you busy. And, lest you forget, there is still (?) the possibility of an October trip?
There is lots of fun stuff -- I am also coming up with some fun activities here on the homefront that should help us bide our time (HSM 3 Premiere Party for a group of middle school girls, anyone?).
Hope you have a great first day at school.

Sorry about the surprise you got regarding the returning students not all coming back to your class.
It was a great two days, but I think I was asleep before 10:00 both days -- it was exhausting!
First off, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!?!!?!?! Second, I think Charles has the Disney Bug pretty badly. Yep, we are on to you Mister.
He does -- I won't even tell you about the grief he gave me for letting Pop Century slip through our fingers for October.

Although, he wouldn't let me order the shirt from disneyshopping with Goofy on it for him.
The pictures of the kids are so adorable.
Thank you!
