I guess I should've forewarned any readers to pop a Dramamine before delving in! Thanks for sticking with me!

Thank you so much for sticking around and reading thru this lengthy report! Oh, sharing our meals was kind of our "pay it forward" moment. Giving something to someone, expecting nothing in return (except maybe a smile), is very euphoric and highly contagious! Plus, we hate to be totally...

I am very much appreciative that you stuck around to read this text-heavy TR! Due to the rain and drama, I took few pictures this trip...my norm is usually 800-1000 (don't ya just love the digital age?), but this time I only snapped 300:eek:! This trip is behind us now...time to move and plan...

You said it sister! Hopefully I can load some of those pics today;)!

Well, it sounds like you had your own set of resort drama, too! This particular trip was the only time in over 11 years of traveling to WDW, that we had ANY room card problems...guess the odds were against us:confused: Oh, I am totally enjoying the planning process...whether it be to WDW or...

I know, I can't believe a Disney vacay could be soooo full of drama! I tried really hard not to let it spoil the good moments going on around me; but, by our last full day in WDW, I couldn't contain my emotions anymore. However, I will not let those "hiccups" deter us from planning another trip...

P.S. I just got our professional photo CD in the mail! Sometime in the near future, I will post my favorite ones!

In conclusion, this particular trip was memorable, but mostly for all the wrong reasons. It was definitely an emotional roller-coaster with plenty of, "You've got to be kidding me"'s...oh, and lots of rain! We learned that resort system upgrades stink, that we will never travel to FL again in...

Wed., 6/12: departure day *I have never said this before about ending ANY Disney vacation, but there's a first for everything: "THANK GOODNESS THAT'S OVER!!!" *I would be remissed if I didn't write that there were some good times, but the bad ones kept on coming from the left, and then...

****ALL text again***** *Made record time walking back to the resort and headed straight to the front desk, the WHOLE family!: We told the girls to pick any couch in the lobby and just sit...we were the only ones around. So, my DH and I tagged-team the front desk crew, which were only 2 CM's...

1. Thank you! 2. It did suck having to deal with drama on vacation...that's why we go on vacation, to escape the "at-home" drama. As for what happened...read on below...

*Let's go sit down now. By this point, it was 8:30 p.m. and guests were piling into the stadium. I parked the stroller, threw the rain cover over top, and caught up with my DH and DD's. There was plenty of reserved seating available, so this is where we sat: DSC_1321 by journ116, on Flickr...

*Food, naps, packing complete...off to DHS. By 3 p.m., we were all set to leave our room and head over to DHS. The skies had opened up once again as we entered the park, so we ducked into the shops on the left side. Here I found the Mickey slippers! but...I was no 'Gloria,' so I put them back...

Too funny that you're scanning my pics...however, I didn't really take many at EP that day :( Dory's voice was in my head quite often, "Just keep swimming..." Aaaand, I did indeed deal with 3/4's of the issues. It gets worse if you can imagine.

I know, right! I saw an assortment of T-Rex t-shirts throughout DTD and the park, with T-Rex always in the same position: one was T-Rex trying to grab a golden lamp, dreaming of big arms. Hilarious! And hey, instead of Disney getting the best of our money, why not use up the remaining DDP...

****This next section is all text**** PM *We stopped at the General Store on the boardwalk to pick up Mickey ice cream bars and use up the remaining snacks on our 6/10-11 reservation card. No problems there. I then searched high and low for a pair of shoes or slippers, anything that would not...

Tues., 6/11: our last full park day AM *When I woke up that morning, I felt an overwhelming longing for home. The ups and downs of this trip was proving to be too much for a Disney vacation, and for once in my life, I couldn't wait to leave the bubble of WDW. Between the lows of the: oppressive...

*Back at the resort: Since we had 'technically' checked out earlier and then checked back in, maid service had stopped by and left our girls this: toy set up by journ116, on Flickr ****From here on out, in regards to the remains of the day, is all text***** My next order of business...

Why, thank you very much! Although trip reporting takes me F-O-R-E-V-A to complete, I find it very therapeutic and rewarding at the same time. I only have another full day and 1/2 morning to report on...I hope to get those done by the end of the month;)

*Time check: 5 p.m.. Next stop was the World of Disney maze...I mean store. DSC_1305 by journ116, on Flickr DSC_1307 by journ116, on Flickr The girls left with a small assortment of souvenirs, while I bought a car decal kit (which I have yet to display, partly because my license plate cover...
