You have a fantastic web site. I'm really enjoying your trip reports.

Thanks for the great trip report and sharing it.

Your daughters are adorable. We also have two girls (ours are pretty much grown though). They still love Disney, though. We are taking our girls and grandma and grandpa for a trip to the WLV in October and can't wait.

The bulk of our points are at WLV, with an add-on at BCV. We feel the same way you do about the two resorts!

Thanks again. Have fun!

OK, it took awhile, but the report is complete. I've added pictures to all days, and several of Portofino Bay Resorts and Cinderella's surprise show - along with the typical family shots.

We had a FANTASTIC first trip home!!! Can't wait to go back next July and do it all over again. (non-DVC Christmas trip to look forward to, also!)

Thanks for all the interest in my report. It was fun to do, and the research at WDW and Universal was awesome!

Hi Tagrel:

I had bookmarked your trip report the other day and finally finished it. It was great! I hope to do something like that on our next, next trip. Can't do those fancy scrapbooks like alot of my neighbors, but oh I'm sure I could do an on-line one.

I hope you don't mind but I had a couple of questions after reading your report.

1. Where did you find the 2 gallon zip lock bags? I know I've seen them, but now that we are preparing for our next WDW trip in October, they are nowhere to be found.

2. Where does one pick up the CM appreciation cards. Is this something you made, or can you get them from Disney?

3. I seem to remember that your little one was sick, but what was your impression of the Wonderland Tea Party?

4. For the Fantasmic show at Disney MGM, you refer to "Reserved Seating" . We've never stayed for Fantasmic as our girls are usually too pooped. The best we have done in the past is dress them in their PJs, put them in the stroller and walk from BWV to Epcot's Illuminations. Asleep by the time we're "home." Anyway, how does one get Reserved Seating.

It appears that we've got alot in common. We have girls, ages 3 and 5 1/2 . They are also deathly afraid of the automatic flushing toilets. We are also DVC owners. Anyway, I'll post this on the Dis DVC board since the questions are universal if you want to answer them there.

Thanks, Margaret64

Thanks Margaret64,

Answers to your questions:

1. My wife found the 2 gallon ziplock bags at Target.

2. The CM appreciation cards are something that someone created, and you personalize and print out on your computer. You can find them at the following site: CM Appreciation Cards The CMs really seemed to like them. I even laminated mine for that polished, professional look! (OK, I just wanted to use my laminator!)

3. Maddy was a bit under the weather for the Teaparty, but after the initial separation anxiety (the CM's were GREAT at helping the kids that got a bit scared) She had a great time. They both did! They just went on and on about all the things they did! Each one received a photo with Alice and Mad Hatter in a paper folder that each character also signed. And they each had a bouquet of flowers for us when we picked them up! It was a highlight of the trip, and the Mommy and Daddy only lunch at GF Cafe was great too!

4. The reserved seating for the Fantasmic show was using the Fantasmic Dinner Package (Have to make reservations at Guest services in hotel (up to 7 days prior), or that day in the park). You can make reservations at Mama Melrose, Brown Derby or Hollywood and Vine for dinner and you receive passes to sit in this reserved section. (on the far right of the stadium seating, still we love not having to get there 90 minutes early (show up 30 minutes for the package) and we actually LIKE eating at Hollywood and Vine. So it works out great for us.

And those automatic Toilets are the bane of Maddy's short existance! The poor thing had two accidents while we were there, and she hasn't done that in almost a year!

thanks for the interest, hope my answers helped.
