Well, we're back. OMG.
This was the least good Disney trip we've ever been on.
Resolutions, with more explication to come later:
- Never, ever, ever again stay at the All-Stars.
- Never, ever, ever again do the Dining Plan.
- Lose the weight. Lose the weight. Lose the weight.
Admittedly this trip was also marred by stress -- getting over the stress of selling the house, stress from losing some people we thought were good friends (another long story), and general ill health (see above, re weight). But honestly we have some thoughts about the All-Stars, fun though they are in their own way, and about the Dining Plan -- both of which might work well for other people but were disastrous for us. They seemed like such good ideas at the time, and at least now we know what they're both like. But goodness! We're more worn out and less healthy than we were before the trip, and usually Disney trips make us feel
better! 
Working on it... brown rice in the cooker now in fact... here's hoping!

we still love Disney, fear not
