Just got back tonight from Disney. Will start trip report soon, but will leave with some notes:

1. Have a new outlook on wheelchairs. Mom had to use a scooter due to extreme arthritis. There are some very shallow, cold, rude people out there, with very vocal opinions. Shame on them!

2. Had the best sandwich I have ever had in my entire life....at Earl of Sandwich (my first time there!).

3. Never knew I had so much giggling capability. My whole household is boys (even the dog) so going with Mom was such a wonderful experience. We giggled the entire trip!

4. Hats off to Disney. Every Cast Member was a joy, going above and beyond to accomodate Mom. Every ride, store, food. They all were great with her limitations.

5. Still crowded. It was a wierd trip in a way that the sidewalks and walkways were so crowded, but then went in Haunted Mansion with only 10 minute wait. It was like no one were on the rides, but were just "walking." (And banging into Mom's scooter!)

6. Beautiful weather. 83 degrees, fluffy clouds in the sky and light breeze. Perfect days, weather wise.

7. Connecting rooms. Had one this time (not with anyone we knew, just kept the door locked), with a very loud family, screaming at each other in the morning. You can't believe how loud it can be. I'm assuming the connecting door is not insulated.

8. Recommend taking a trip with Mom's, Dad's, Grandma's, Grandpa's, etc. You take such a different look at Disney through their eyes, at a slower pace. Just an absolute wonderful memory!
