Oh, good, you're finally there! That was a lot of catching up to do since yesterday morning--you're a very popular girl!

joining in- enjoy your report so far. i am interested in what you think about the rooms at PORS for a family of 5. My friend is staying there in a couple of weeks and any advise would be great!

Stitch was cute watching out the window. It's fun to 'play' with our little friends on these trips. One of my favorite pictures of a Disney pal who came along with us is this one:

Minnie so enjoyed seeing Beauty and the Beast!

I remember you posting that on my PTR - I love it! We had a lot of fun with Stitch - as you will soon see.

I have only visited POR, but Jill and John have stayed there once. They liked it, and they liked the food at Boatwright's. I enjoy walking the peaceful riverside path that runs from POR to POFQ. It's always so quiet back there that you can easily forget you are really plopped in the midst of a place, speaking of WDW as a whole, that is crawling with thousands and thousands of people.

We didn't eat at Boatwright's - we should have. I haven't been to all that many of the resorts yet, but from what I can tell - POR seems to have the best grounds.

I don't know about that - but I am chatty!

Probably another installment or so and then I'll discuss the room and how we made it work for us. I should get to it by early next week.

It's a rainy and cold Saturday here in Maryland - a far cry from how we were spending LAST Saturday!

You will notice I didn't do an update this morning. I promised I would slow down a bit once we arrived at Disney World. I figure everyone is busy this weekend with Easter plans anyway so the next update will be Monday morning (that gives Jordan a chance to catch up ). We'll be heading up to PA to celebrate with Chuck's family tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

I'm glad you posted it! I have a lot of readers who didn't read my PTR.

My son who works at DHS said MK got to level 4 which means nobody was allowed in the park. I don't think I would want to be at the park then. I have pulled my kids out of school but our teachers don't have to give them makeup work so they fall behind. We leave on the 24th of April for SSR and my DS will miss three days of school but is a good student so I'm not worried.

When did MK get to level 4?

(Okay - you caught me. I know I said I wasn't going to do an update today - but, this really isn't an update. )

I know my trip report has just begun, but I sent Stitch off on his journey to California today. His next host family is with Keith (Goofster57). I believe Keith plans to take Stitch to Disneyland and other Southern California Hot Spots and post about them in his ongoing TR. Once Stitch arrives and Keith updates his TR, I'll post a link in case anyone wants to continue following Stitch on his adventures. We will all miss Stitch, but we're looking forward to seeing what mischief he gets into next.

This is what I posted on Keith's TR today:

Up Next - "I Swear I Wasn't Running Off Without Paying!"

Safe travels and Happy Easter!!

Thanks Christine!

Hee hee! I love it!!!!

Very sad there's no update today though

Have a wonderful Easter!

I keep missing pages of your report...UGH!

I'm glad you were able to make the room work for you. I've always said that if you had to be stuck in there for any length of time with 5 people it would be a disaster , but as long as you just use the room for sleeping and getting ready to hit the parks, it's just fine. It would be tough if there was a little one that needed naps and everyone had to be quiet, but with older kids that's not an issue.

Have a great Easter with Chuck's family. Looking forward to more next week!

Oh..and bye Stitch! Enjoy sunny CA!!

Hey! You got your siggy pics before me

They look great!

Guess I better find the ones I like and send them off

Ok, I need to learn how to do this!
Idiot directions only please.

Isn't it just the best getting the "welcome home". I honestly don't remember them doing that at All Stars last year but they did at POP this year.

Hmm differences in our Chucks..... mine is a driving fiend. He loves to drive WILL NOT fly. SO we do the 23 hour straight drive to the world . Yes DVD players are a life saver. Its funny cause my little guys always relates drive times to vacations. "is it as long as a Disney drive or just a S. Dakota drive? or please tell me its only a Minnesota drive."

Finished you PTR I felt your pain on the whole move orders thing I did the 12 schools in 12 years. Most of my family is in the service still Brother Army 30yrs & new nephew in law Marines.

HI KATE!

Hi, Well I think I made it throught all the pages!
I am so glad you did the drive by of SOTB. Pedro lies.

Are you asking how to use an image as a link? It works the same way as a text link. Highlight the image code, then click on the link button, and paste the link. Voila! Let me know if you need more details.

There's a lot of things I miss!
