Dana, GREAT trip report!!!!
I had the same thing happen btw w/the video camera!
and my DD always gets her view blocked!

Glad you had a great trip!
My DM and I bickered almost everyday of our trip, LOL
the bickering reminds me of me and my brothers and the way we still bicker today! LOL

I woulda thought your resort transfer would of went more smoothly, Iam Definately sure I won't be doing that in the future!

All in all the 4 of you had a great time and that is all that counts in the end, right? Iam glad your DBF enjoyed the trip!!!

I can't wait till Halloween time!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait for the pictures!!!
(mine are still sitting on my computer, I dont have a server to upload them to)

First of all, thanks, I needed that. What total satisfaction. I'd smoke a cigarette right now, if I smoked. I'm so glad everything went so smoothly and congratulations on your great attitude about obnoxious people, etc. I liked your list of likes and dislikes. I've always been curious about the Poly - the public areas are so beautiful and lush - but it's nice to know that the rooms are just rooms. Won't hanker to stay there anymore. You're right - moving from resort to resort is a pain. It was the one thing that I really got to me this time, too. I would have loved to have met up with you and Sara this year - but just another excuse to plan another trip.

Great to have you home, sweetie. Can't wait for the pics.

The Polynesian was beautiful....really beautiful, but I don't think it was worth the price tag. The AKL is better I think for the money that you pay.

I wondered what you would say about changing resorts midway. We didn't really think it worked for us either.

Glad to hear the buses were better at AKL. We are thinking about it for our next trip and that was really my only concern.

Thanks for posting your report so quickly. I really needed a Disney fix this week. So happy to hear you had a good trip. Can't wait to see the pix. Welcome home.

Thanks Dana.

I agree with you on the Poly....it's nice, the rooms are huge, but it is definitely not worth the pricetag!

oh Dana .. that was awsome .. I wanted to wait till you had totally finished before commenting .. I am so glad that the trip was just so magical and that DBF fell in love with WDW!!

(we seem to always get the gangster on TGMR lately)
its good to have you home ..wonderful wonderful trip report!!!

[Dana]

Thanks for reading it all guys. I am glad I have you all a fix. WDW did everything to make the move easy for me from one resort to the next, but I just didn't like the work that went with it...I'm lazy that way I guess.

llama - I missed not getting to see you too. Think Neil would mind a Halloween trip miss APer?

tink -missed you too.

everyone else -
Thanks for reading and for reassuring me that the kids fighting was normal enough. It was just somethihng I am no used to on a regular basis, but something I probally should have took as them acting like siblings..lol Thanks again all.

[tinkerbell]

wooooooooooo I just came back from the mailbox .. a postcard from Dana !!! you shouldnt have done that ..but thank you soooooo much .. must be some kind of vibes going out ..on bad days I have gotten disney postcards!!!

Thsi is hilarious!
And thanks, Dana, for going the extra mile to get us all this scoop so quickly! As you can see, the entire DC family was sitting around for the past week, just waiting for you to get back!!!

I think that if you are in teh front car, you get the gangster and the back car gets the cowboy...

Of course I am....well let's see how fat I look first. If I look like a beast, I'll crop me out..lol

[cinderbella]

dana--im so glad your back! and so so glad it worked out for the four of you--but honestly you had all of us here at DC rooting for the four of you..how could it go wrong--im so happy dbf got bit by the bug--dont you LOVE that--sometimes now you can bring up a wdw memory and he'll be the first to say "i want to go back..." and that will just make you smile and feel real good inside (my too cool for school dbf thought disney world was "lame" before i got ahold of him...) i cant wait for pictures of you, sara, dbf, dbfs, darth and his dw...it'll be wonderful to put faces to "screennames"

erin-isnt darth your brother? wouldnt you know if he resemebled a tortise...or am i just real wrong here?

[Dana]

Thanks! It so comforting to know I had a cheering section back here roothing for a successful trip. He is already talking about things we did there..lol I told him I am going back in October if he wants to go, but he thinks he's going to skip the next trip and head back with us the time after....we'll see...lol I would love to hear your take on PC. I am morethan likely going to stay there in October and need to start some research soon. My DD wants to do POFQ, but I think I am going to go to PC. I have to tighten the belt this time around...no deluxes unless super AP codes come out.

[Erin]

LOL! Everyone thinks we are bro/sis - but we've never met! LOL! We just have that rapport w/ each other I guess...
