We are back from our most recent trip to Walt Disney World. I have uploaded about 1,500 pictures so far and I think I have about 1,300 more to go. I filled up two 4GB memory cards and started on a 8GB card before we left. Once they are all uploaded, I need to organize them. I thought I would...

We hadn't been on the road for more than 20 minutes before John was doing this: I know ya'll can't believe it but he was fast asleep and getting some snore on. We drove through the rolling hills that were once citrus fields but are now acre after acre of homes. Homes all built so...

Because we didn't leave the Magic Kingdom until 2:00 a.m., we were all exhausted. But, it was the most wonderful kind of exhaustion I had ever experienced. I mean, think about it. Would you rather be exhausted from a hard day at work or exhausted from a day at Walt Disney World? Stupid question...

And, I'll be jealous of you when I get back 'cause I'll have another year to wait until we get back. :lol: Definitely keep trying to get an ADR at Ohana. You may luck up and find one available. Your ADRs sound really good. We have a few new ones this year that I am looking forward to trying.

We leave for our 16th trip to Walt Disney World tomorrow! I am itchin' to get on the road! I'll be posting the last of my trip report this afternoon while my boss is in court. I don't have the "reflections" portion done yet but do have the last installment ready. Just have to get the...

I don't know that I'd like to stay at the Grand Floridian but it is a beautiful resort and I am sure Mama will like looking around. If I were you, I'd keep checking the Disney Dining reservations every day. You may be able to get a Ohana ADR. I was able to get one at a little over 60 days out...

I cry at everything....commercials, weddings, movies, etc. so my family knows I'm gonna cry when I see the castle and watch the fireworks. I totally forgot to post that we've changed our reservations. We are no longer doing a split stay between POR and CBR. We absolutely wanted to give a...

I'm more than ready to go back! We've been so busy, I get tired just thinking about it.

If you're a dork, then so am I! I always get teary eyed when I look back at the castle for the last time. I don't wanna leave!

We drive to Walt Disney World and used to go to a Publix Grocery Store nearby and purchase a few things at the beginning of our trip. But, once I heard about Garden Grocer, we started using them and have excellent service through their company. Grocery shopping is not on my top "things to do...

You are definitely not alone! The only way I can beat the post-Disney blues is by starting to plan our next trip. Thank goodness we go to Disney every Summer or I'd been in full-on depression. :D

Our next trip to WDW starts when I get off work next Tuesday. I am more than ready to get on the road to the Happiest Place on Earth. Oh that's so nice of you to say. I really love writing my reports as I need something as a creative outlet and I get to relive my Disney vacation as I write.

I have at least two more installments to post. One of the drive home and my "reflections". Hopefully, I'll get those posted over the next couple of days. We leave for Walt Disney World next Tuesday as soon as I get home from work. We'll have 11 glorious vacation days!

Now that I've gone back through Photobucket and looked at my pictures, I "remember" that, while in Adventureland, we took a ride on the Jungle Cruise. This was our first time (can you believe it) that we had ridden it at night. I was only able to capture two pictures and they aren't good at all...

I took even more pictures of the front of the castle: As we made our way down, I spotted a Photopass photographer to my left. I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity for one last picture. Mama said to take the pictures without her since it was supposed to be a family...
