The Wright's 1st Time Staying Deluxe,A September 2010 Pre-Trip Report!Update 9/26

[jenseib]

All caught up! Looksto be a fun trip. You should do a recap on what days are what, since things got changed several times.
Also some of your pictures say they are deleted from photobucket, in case you didn't know.
I bet you are so excited. Claire and I both want to go at Halloween time, but it is always busy farming season, so it might not be for years till we can go then.

Thanks guys for the positive comments on the Villa guys , I was in with it too until the guy started asking my for my deposit repeatedly in one day and then was super rude with me when I asked about the cancellation policy . So unfortunately we decide against renting it but I'm not worried we have plenty of time to find one that is even better !

There had to be a catch!!!!

Thanks for joining in Jen , so glad to have you hear
I'm def gonna do a recap now thanks for the great suggestion !
I did not know some of my pictures got deleted , I think it's cause I rearranged some of the photos in my account
Yes, I'm more than excited I just wish it would get here already lol

There had to be a catch!!!!

Yes, I agree ! Made me feel really weird and uneasy & when I told DH about it he thought the same thing !

Getting ready to post the last full day now and I already typed up the recap but I'm going to wait a bit to post . May do a quick update on our mini vacation to Maryland in between last day & recap .

I think the trip with My Sister in-law & Brother in-law will be awesome , can't wait to plan , was gonna book the villa now but as you can see that fell through so were gonna wait till after the first of the year to make all our plans but at least we have a date !

The day will start off with us eating breakfast in our room and then heading immediately to Magic Kingdom . Ridding everything we can in no particular order until lunch which will most likely be at Columbia Harbor House but we are leaving our options open. after lunch we will continue riding the rides and taking in the shows until it's time for our Chef Mickey's Dinner reservation which we will use the Monorail to get to . After dinner we will head back to Magic Kingdom to fit in anything we missed and re-ride anything we love . At 7 we will have to leave as there is Halloween party this night, so no MSEP this night ! May head to to Epcot until 9 or DTD to do some last minute shopping ! Then back to the room to rest up for our 10 hour drive home

Sounds like a wonderful and super fun last day!

A 10 hour car ride I am not a fan of car trips so that sounds really hard to me! I'm impressed! You and your DH must be very patient people to do that ride with 3 kids

Looking forward to seeing the kids costumes!

I'm hoping we can cut the car ride down to 8 or 9 this year lol We bought a GPS recently and it has seem to shave an hour to two hours off our trips ! If you think 10 hours is bad when we lived in Maryland it was around a 16 to 18 hour drive and we made that drive in 07 & 08 lol I just really do not like to fly , the onetime we did I felt like everyone working in the airport was like hurry up, hurry up, hurry up lets go , very pushy like ! I like to take my time and enjoy the scenery .

 

[jenseib]

I love the pictures. That one of Prince John is really cool too. I don't think I've seen one of him before...you lucky dog! LOL!

Let me know if you get the trip down to 8 or 9. I think 9 is about the best we've done. I would rather fly but it's cheaper to drive and flying is becoming challenging with all the luggage restrictions and fees!

Awe Thanks Jen That was the only time we got to see Prince John way back in 06 but that is pretty cool isn't it !

I will def tell u what kind of time we make the trip in . Minus the hour stop we make to shop lol Yes, I def agree it is much cheaper to drive

We took a Mini Vacation back home to Maryland for a week in July & stayed with my Disney Grandparents. Here are some pictures from that trip :

One of the first days we were there we visited Ft. Ashby , WV . To visit and have a meal my Disney Grandfathers family . Me , DH & the kids spent a good bit of the time visiting with my cousin , her husband & little girl . We had a great day in Ft. Ashby and can't wait to go there again, it's so beautiful and quite .

The house where my Pap grew up

Me & My Cousin

Another day was spent at Cowans Gap State Park in PA w/ my sister in-law , nieces & DH's Grandma . The kids had a blast playing in the water and sand all day !

The Lake

DS3 enjoying the sand

DS6,DN5&DN3 enjoying the lake

We also went to Lakemont Amusement Park in Altoona , PA w/ the sister in-law & nieces . Lakemont is the 8th oldest amusement park in the USA and has world's oldest roller coaster , so a lot of history in this trip.

Here it is the world's oldest roller coaster

DN5&DS6 enjoying little boats

DN5&DS6 on his first roller coaster ride without adults , needless to say he did not like it at all lol

DS3,DH and DS 6 ridding the carousel . DS3 did not care for any of the rides , looks like we are in trouble come WDW vacation

DD riding the carousel

DS6 & DN5 ridding the miniature train

We extended our trip an extra day to take the kids to meet Grave Digger and go to Monster Jam 2010 . Not only did our family of 5 go but so did the sister in-law & her family of 5 , My Mom & her boyfriend , DH's Dad's Girlfriend & her son and his girlfriend ! So we were a very large group but we had a blast especially the kids

This is how they fit Grave Digger in the truck mystery solved lol

DD & DS6 meeting Grave Digger

Monster Jam 2010

It was a great week in Maryland and I think it was the busiest week we have ever spent there ! We didn't spend very much time at my Grandparents house which is super unusual . Here are some pic's of the time we did spend Probably won't make it back there again until maybe Christmas , can't wait !

It looks like you all had a wonderful trip filled with a lot of fun

I hope your youngest likes the rides at Disney! That would be awful if he didn't!

Yes , we def did Dawn

I'm hoping DS3 will not be scared of the rides at WDW but last year he would cry on every single ride that was dark , so add that to his recent crying on any ride at Lakemont we may be in trouble !

 

[jenseib]

What a fun trip. I like action packed trips. hopefully the youngest will do much better at Disney. We worried that on our first trip with Claire she would scream at the characters, because she did with Santa, but she loved them. But she still is very leary of Santa and the Easter bunny. Must be the Disney magic!

 

[MaryAz]

Great mini trip update. looking forward to seeing your plans so we can see if we are ever in the same place at the same time.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Thanks I hope he does too but last year , he cried on every ride that was dark during our trip but we pushed on and still rode & would just try to keep him clam so he wouldn't disturb others .

Awe poor Claire wonder what it is about Santa & The Easter Bunny

I use to be terrified of cupid when I was little thanks to my Grandfather lol Apparently I thought he was gonna shoot me lol

Great mini trip update. looking forward to seeing your plans so we can see if we are ever in the same place at the same time.
