10/13/20 - 10/20/04 Recap
Who: Mark (me-26)
Molly (DW, 28)
Eric (DS, 2 1/2, first trip since he was 8 months old)
Haley (DD, 4.5 months)
Staying: Old Key West, first stay with our DVC points!!
This was our first trip as a DVC member at OKW and it was a great trip. The one thing Molly enjoyed the most about the trip was all the nice people that talked to her. Molly is not a very "go outta her way to talk to people" kind of person, but she talked to more people on our stay at OKW then I have ever seen her talk to when we were at Caribbean Beach other Disney stays. OKW is definitely a very nice community of folks. I'm not sure if we met anyone from the boards, but if so it was a pleasure to meet you, and if not maybe our paths will cross one day!! The weather was great, besides the monsoon Molly and Eric got caught in. It was mid-80's most of our week, and the crowds weren't too bad to us. Many of the people Molly talked with at the bus stop and on the bus told her that they felt the crowds were a little thicker than usual at that time. A few people Molly spoke with said they were down on fall break, so maybe a lot more schools are adopting this standard? But all I can say is it was a great time, and it was truly nice to not have to rush. Taking the attitude that we will be back for many years to come. It was truly a sight to see Eric's reaction to the Magic of Disney. We had some rough spots, that is to be expected with young kids, but we manage through it and it was a great time. We were fortunate to meet some really nice Cast Members from our home area, and even to have a few great bus drivers that helped pass the time! We are not quite sure when our next trip will be, but whenever it will be we can't wait for it to come!! And in conclusion I want to say again that we met a lot of great people at our bus stops, and on the many bus rides we had!!
Take care and have a magical day!
