T'was the Night Before Christmas, Not an OUTLAW in Sight!..Updated 2/13

Hey Lynn! Love the towel animals. We only got one, but they arranged the kids toys everyday. Thanks for the heads up on your son driving! I'll stay out of your neck of the woods!:rotfl: Sorry to see your report about over, but its been great to know that kids don't have to grow out of Disney!
 
I can't believe we're almost to your last day!
 
Woo-hoo Lynn. Any trip installment that ends with alcohol is a good one. And happy belated bd to you.

Oh yeah, and good luck with the teenage male driver. I feel that I should be able to wear a flashing neon sign that says I survived 3 of them!!!!

The alcohol deadened the pain of packing. By the end of that second drink I was just cramming everything in a suitcase willy-nilly!
Hi Lynn - happy belated birthday! :bday:

Another great update - so sad that you are on your last day. :sad2:

Do you have your next trip planned yet?? ;)

Thanks to everyone for the BD greetings. The kids asked how old I am and I told them 29. Deavon said you were 29 last year. Brandon said "She's been 29 for a long time". How I love my kids!:flower3:

Next trip is being planned...but it's not DW!:blush:
We are planning a cruise in Sept for our 20th anniversary!

My kids haven't grown out of Disney but I hate to say it is less magical for them. I can't tell you how many times we heard " we've already done (or seen) that".:sad: Or maybe they are just spoiled brats!:)
I can't believe we're almost to your last day!

I couldn't believe it when it really happened either!:laughing:
It has been great reliving it through a TR though.

Thanks for reading!
Not sure when the next installment will be..busy,busy, busy!
 

I can't believe your trip is almost over :sad1:. You make me feel so bad that I am not done with my TR yet, I need to step it up.

I love your writing, you always have me smiling and giggling. I love the smileys and the pictures. I really like that pic of you with the castle in the background :thumbsup2. Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us.

You like my picture in front of my vacation home do you? :laughing: We really should visit our vacation home more often I think!

I am super busy and haven't had time to write the last day yet. Plus , I'm sad to write the last day.:sad: Then it will really be over.

I guess that's a good time to start planning our next vacation!
 
Lynn

Can I come stay with you at your vacation home? Just don't ask me to pay any part of the electric bill. :rotfl:

:rotfl: Wow, can you imagine what that would be at Christmastime?!

Um Pakey, have you noticed that Lynn has not been over to your TRIP REPORT?! Just thought I'd point that out!:rolleyes1

That's so funny! Great minds think alike!:thumbsup2 I was just giving you a nudge since I know you've been busy. I didn't know if you knew she started it. But come to think of it you haven't read mine lately either!:rolleyes1

I'm sad your reports almost over.:sad2: Stay in touch with us though!
 
Update coming soon! Don't give up on me!!! I'm a personal Trainer and this is my busy time of year.
 
Glad to know you are still with us Lynn. You left Faith on the pole. :rotfl:
 
Don't worry Faith! We'll get you off of that pole soon!

WOW is right. I didn't know I could move that well. Thanks Lynn.

And Judi, if Lynn can do this much for me, imagine how much she can do for you!!!! It sure helps to know a personal trainer.
 
Will you laugh?

How could the week have gone so fast when the 18 months it took to plan it took so long?:confused3


Our plan was Disney Studios today since we only have ½ a day and we have will have only been here ½ a day previously in the week.

DS opens at 9:00 so our alarm will go off at 6:00 so we can pack up and clear out our room, getting to the bus stop no later than 8:30. We will leave our bags at the front desk while we tour for the morning and pick them up when our town car service arrives.

We have an ADR for Sci-Fi at 11:00.

That was the plan….Here is what really happened….

My packing last night, after two mudslides must have been done well!( I don’t remember )
th_hangover.gif

because there wasn’t much to do this morning. We dropped off our luggage at the baggage area. For breakfast we headed to the food court. Once again I had the chocolate chip pancakes, as did Deavon. Tony had the Bountiful platter and Brandon had the Biscuits & Gravy. Again, there was nothing spectacular about the food. It was standard food court quality.

Then we hopped on the bus to Disney Studios.

No surprises here. We headed straight to R & RC and ToT. We got FP for R&RC before heading to The Great Movie Ride. Have I mentioned I love this ride? I don’t care if it is corny and dated!

After GMR we went back to R&RC for our Fps. The other day we were here we didn’t do Backlot and Catastrophe Canyon so off we went.

Brandon is very upset that the icon was changed from this:

“You can’t just change icons! What if they wanted to make Mousegears the icon for EPCOT? It’s a shop!.. just like that stupid hat! A shop shouldn’t be the icon!!” He goes on and on. So of course every time we see anything with the hat on it we have to make a comment about how it is the icon of DS! :rotfl:

We wanted to see Lights Motor Action so we made our way over there. We walked through the Streets of America - somehow the Osborne lights aren’t as impressive during the day. Here is a pic of Brandon under the umbrella:

Before entering the stadium for LMA we thought a little snack would be good and we still had credits to use. The kids ordered churros, I had a cinnamon pretzel and Tony got a regular pretzel with cheese. All items were fresh and very tasty!

Here is a couple of pics from LMA:

Tony liked the angle of this shot from the stadium:

You can See TOT, GMR and the ummmm ICON!

After the show where do you think we headed? That’s right….ToT.

We never made that Sci-Fi reservation!:rolleyes1

Then the time had arrived. The moment we had been dreading….. We had to leave the park.
th_SMILEYCRYING.gif


We walked as slowly as possible
th_sadwalk.gif

to the bus back to the resort.

We had counter service credits left so we had lunch at the food court.
Somehow I had gone the entire trip without eating a cheeseburger!!
th_hamburger.gif
I rarely eat cheeseburgers and fries at home . This was my last opportunity to have one and blame it on vacation. I ordered a cheese burger and fries with a cheesecake for dessert. Tony ordered a cheesesteak with fries and cheesecake. Deavon ordered a hot dog with fries and a milkshake. Brandon had a pizza and milkshake. All the food was food court good.

We chewed very slowly

as it was our last meal at Disney World. Then another dreaded moment…

Our driver arrived.

It was the same guy that had dropped us off! He does look a bit Mafioso don’t you think? But he was very nice, played good music in the car and picked us up on time.

Well that is the conclusion of our day by day. I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed reliving it.

Up next will be a summary of what I would do differently next time and what I thought was well worth doing again.
 
I am sad this is over. I loved reading along, you have a wicked sense of humour. You always left me laughing at the end of each update.
 
:sad1: it is over and it was a great tr to read along. Thanks for sharing it with us.
 
Lynn, I'm sorry to see that Brandon didn't get up on the pole in the umbrella shot. Must be a girl thing.

And make sure and tell him that I hate the hat icon too. It's so wrong. The water tower with mouse ears will always be my first choice.

If you are following my TR, you know that you didn't miss anything by skipping SciFi. I'd rather take a drop at the Hollywood Hotel any day over eating while sitting in the little cars. It was the right choice.

Well the trip is over so it's time to start planning the next one.

And OT since you haven't been over on the coolie thread in a bit, my gym is operational; I've used it two days in a row and I'm sore but loving it.
