I really am tired, I just clobbered my post. Take two:
Deena, all of that stuff is extra hive formula for me. Got two bar soaps I can use (Tone and Neutrogena) and fortunately, I can use any non floral B&BW shower cream!
Lainey, you took that picture on the France side of the waterway into the world showcase lagoon. I dunno, Orli's belly button looks off center! You did good with the Brother machine. I've got a Kenmore that is bulletproof, but I'd gladly buy a Brother. Learned sewing by osmosis-mom is a 'professional' seamstress-got a scrapbook of the 200 or so wedding dresses she made. Those dresses paid for her house on LI!
Tara, if you hit the deals right, Poly! The rooms are HUGE! There's a daybed in each room, so at least Jarrod can have his own bed, and you'd only share with Ethan.
Lily, leg is still attached, lol. I'm gonna be sneaker girl for a few days-no pretty dress shoes for me!
I am SO PROUD of my husband. Long story short:He sold an Indy topper on ebay. Buyer didn't realize it was a topper, and was buying it as a gift for her son's 5th b'day on Friday. My wonderful husband realized this at midnight last night, and diplomatically offered up Kevin's Indy Fedora as he didn't want the little boy to be disappointed with the topper. We can always get Kevin another one. This mom had sent Ed an email thanking him. Her little boy hums the theme song in his sleep! He boxed up the fedora, addressed it and as soon as he heard back this morning, he sent it out. He was so worried that his listing was misleading-she emailed back that she was the one at fault, and that he was so nice about it. I teared up when he read me the correspondence back and forth.
He's a keeper!
Okay, the details on the trip:
We headed out around noon on Sunday. It'd been raining off and on for the past day, and we figured we'd have a rainy day. Had some traffic issues, and got to Pop around two. Purposely brought Jane through the purple gates, since she hadn't seen them since '99!
After dropping our stuff off, we headed over to MK around 4. I pushed the chair up the ramp-I cannot see how anyone self propelling a wheelchair can get up that incline! Once in MK, She rented an
ECV.
Shopped through the Emporium (note to Liz and Nancy-new toppers). Went over to the Haunted Mansion. Ed and the Kids got to see the Key Corridor for the first time and I rode with Jane, pointing out the hidden mickeys (official and otherwise) and the hidden Donald. Next up was Peter Pan and Philharmagic. Kevin insisted on Indycars, so I went with the boys. After that, the kids wanted TTA, and Ed and Jane did Buzz Lightyear. They got stopped in one of the rooms and Ed discovered that if you hit 600,000, you get an error message! By that time, it was 20 to 8 and close to Wishes time. Very windy, nearly deserted park due to the earlier rain. Then we monorailed over to the Poly for dinner at 'Ohana. Got to use the Disney Dining Experience Card for the first time, it is soo worth it! Back to the room by 11:30.
Next day, we got to Epcot around 12:30 after lunching in the food court (Ed and the boys had some pool time). We did almost everything in Future world and Ed finally got to ride Mission Space (thanks big sis, for keeping an eye on the kids!). At this point, I realized that I forgot Neil's meds in the room, so Neil and I drive back to Pop, get his meds and go back...Ed, Jane and Kevin did two rides in the time we were gone, plus they went to Turtle Talk, too. (Bummed that I missed Crush, dude!)
Walked around the World showcase counter clockwise...Jane wanted to shop in England, so Ed and I let the kids do a Kidcot center and plopped down on the comfy chairs in the Toy Soldier. While resting, Piglet showed up-I don't think I'd ever seen Piglet before! Got pics with him. We decided we were getting hungry, so I call for a priority seating at Biergarten while we walk over that way! We get there 1/2 hour before our time, and they told us it'd be 55 minutes, but we were seated in 15. Not even enough time to buy a bottle of wine, lol. Kids decide after they'd eaten their fill that they want to go back to the hotel, so we skip IllumiNations, but do ride Maelstrom before leaving. It's funny how moving here has relaxed me-I can deal with missing IllumiNations, lol.
Back to the room. I really needed a bath because of the soreness and itchies and Ed and Jane wanted 'lovely beverages' due to the meltdowns we endured (Neil had a hard time keeping control), so off they went to the lounge and I had a nice soak with a good book.
Tuesday am, we checked out and shopped at Downtown Disney. Oh my, we were soo bad. Jane would hand me money for whatever thing she was chipping in on, and it went to the topper fund! Went to Mickey's Mart first (the 10 buck and less place) and found Binford Toppers, AK Mickey toppers, St Patty's WDW toppers, Bunny Pooh toppers, etc.
Decided to head back to MK and we did a good job of hitting the rides we missed the other day. No mountains this trip, though. PoTC CM didn't want to take Jane down to load and told them to go through the regular queue. Ed presented Neil's GAC and the CM said they wouldn't alternate entrance Neil (who sometimes freaks in crowds). Kids tortured me by insisting ont the Treehouse (this after I'd been stomped and kicked a few times by people in a rush to get past the wheelchair). Jane was happy, she and I did Stitch's Alien Encounter...love that change to AE! Carousel of Progress was running, and we experienced the Lemming Effect. This woman sees a bunch of us going over to the ride, follows and asks "is this a scary ride?", "Is it gonna make me sick?". Too funny!
At one point, the boys asked for ice cream, and Ed chanted 'Dole Whip Dole Whip Dole Whip', so I had to convince Neil that the ice cream at Aloha Isle is just as good as the stuff at Mrs. Potts cupboard. As we walked over there, Jane tells me to get a PS for a character meal-and out comes the cell phone. Got a 7pm seating at Crystal Palace and this meal 'paid' for the DDE, we saved a little more than the amount it cost in the three days on property.
We left the MK at around 8:30 and got a few great shots of the castle. BTW, The castle has gold 'filigree' around some the spires and gold characters, too. I probably will upload my pics to Imagestation by Saturday and will link them.
Okay, I'm long winded, but people wanted details...got too many!
That shopping will probably make my exchangee happy-found a few things that my 'sistah' will like.
Okay, I was gonna go to bed at 10...too late for that.
ten of you have probably sneated as I monster posted!
Suzanne

She is feeling horrible right now, too. If they can't figure it out in 2 weeks, they are going to deliver the baby early. She will be 7 mos. in 2 weeks.
