:joyfull::joyfull:Sorry! I have been following your report even before we left on our vacation and was assuming the same thing would happen to us. Our weird good luck continues however, through the last couple days of our trip!

Maddie chose a Darth Vader cupcake. The rest of us got cookies. It doesn't look very appetizing in the picture but it was really good! Xander had his usual chocolate milk and Maddie, James, and I had Frappuccinos. I sent Maddie out to the table with the first load of things and she came back...

After our second ride on RnR we raced over to the Indiana Jones stunt show that was going to start in 20 minutes. When we got there we were turned away because there were no seats left:(. There would be one more show later in the day but we couldn't go to it because of the rental car return...

I'm so sorry! I 'm trying not to cry reading your story. I absolutely know how you feel. A cancer diagnosis out of nowhere is bad enough but to find out that it is stage 4 already makes you feel so helpless. The same thing happened to us with my mom's pancreatic cancer. One minute life is...

I was just looking over the notes I made shortly after we got back home while the trip was still fresh in my mind. I forgot to mention that at some point on this morning Xander started repeatedly asking for someplace he wanted to go. He kept saying something that sounded like "gear" or "deer"...

We are really proud of Xander. In spite of some hard moments, he was a champ during the trip and has continued to expand what he's able to handle since we've been back home! I really enjoyed talking to the family at breakfast and was glad that I could help them out. It's so good to see other...

Just before it was our turn to meet BB8, James had called to let me know the Disney Jr. show had finished. He also told me that it was now downpour raining outside:eek:. He and Xander were going to run over to the entrance of the Star Wars area and meet up with us. We killed some time indoors...

We stopped for some pictures before leaving the restaurant We didn't have a FP for Toy Story Mania and the wait time was already over an hour so I went there to get a return time on the DAS then met back up with James and the kids at the animation courtyard. We saw some stormtroopers...

The last character at our breakfast was Handy Manny and he was the biggest hit with Xander! Handy Manny is still on Disney Jr. channel in reruns but I'm sure most little ones these days aren't as familiar with him as the other characters. Xander has been a Handy Manny fan since waaaaay back...

I'll have to do some research on recipes. I'll try to work up the courage to try it myself this year, if I fail I'll just have to hunt it down somewhere! I told James that I was excited about the idea of trying lefse with brown sugar and he was like "yeah cause that will make it taste less...

Xander definitely remembered this place because he tried to lead us to the exact table we'd sat at before. Luckily he was easily redirected to where we were supposed to sit this time! He's been a lot better about this recently but we used to have problems with Xander getting fixated on sitting...

Sunday August 27, vacation day 8! When I woke up that morning I couldn't believe we'd already been on vacation for a week! I was happy that we still had a few days left to enjoy our trip. When we were ready to go outside that morning, the sky was definitely more gloomy than any other morning...

Continuing with Saturday August 26. We loaded everything up in the rental van, put the Aunt and Uncle's address into the GPS, and headed out toward Winter Park. The GPS kept trying to send us into restricted backstage areas! The first time we ended up in a restricted area for Epcot. The guy...

Wow! My mom and dad attempted to make it themselves one Christmas and it wasn't very successful as I recall:). Do you have a special recipe? Maybe I'll get ambitious this year. We have only ever used white sugar and until you asked that question, it had never occurred to me to use brown...

I hope you enjoy the second go round! There is not much variety on the food but it was all good and they bring you as many new platters as you want. I felt like we got a lot of attention from the waitress making sure we got enough food and drinks while we were there and she offered to take a...

We admired the Poly atmosphere for a minute. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go downstairs to pay homage to the Tiki statue. We did take some time for the gift shop. Maddie already has a medium sized Stitch at home but couldn't resist giving the giant one a cuddle. I got Xander to give...

Pluto got a big Xander hug. A very serious stare at the camera. Some family photos with our favorite Disney pup! One last picture of Maddie and I before we left our table. I was hoping for the background to be the Poly pool area but it completely disappeared! Up close look at the decor...

We got a great table up against the windows with a view of the pool! This has become my favorite character breakfast. One downside was that only three characters actually come to your table. On the other hand, the meet and great in a dedicated spot with Stitch was better than him just coming...

I think I brought it up at just the right moment. James might have been feeling sorry for me because of the pneumonia and my sad attempts to breathe after a coughing fit;). I'm holding him to it though!

Thank you!
