Thanks all for reading!!

Next trip? I don't know yet...maybe I'll go the same time next year. Who knows? It will just as last minute as this one if I do it.

Sometimes those last minute trips are the best. No "wait" time.

Ain't that the truth! Planning a trip for February '08 in January of '08 was awesome! It was like, "Hey, we're going to WDW in 3 weeks!"

I enjoyed reading your trip report Dana. Thanks for sharing. I am glad that you were able to go and spend Sara's birthday at Disney!

Hope you all enjoyed reading.

Great TR and loved the pictures

Thanks for taking us along on Sara's "surprise" birthday trip. It was fun. She's a beautiful young lady.

Sara looks beautiful. I love the color of the dress.

I was thinking the same thing. Sara looks so pretty - the dress is beautiful!

What a great trip report Dana and what great pictures!

Thanks my dear. Glad you all enjoyed it. Thanks to all for the compliments about my DD and her dress. She did look great and the dress was totally suited for a 15year old.

the no wait for the trip was really cool and maybe I'll do that again. I don't know when the next one will be...it's really up in the air right now. Time will tell. I have no clue where I will be next year financially...or professionally. i'm trying desperately to work my way up in this company, so who knows?

I loved the pictures of Spectro, the fish ones especially, those are my little guy's favorite part of the parade. :)

Sara's dress was beautiful. I really like that color too.

We were up super early and had the bells service people come grab our luggage for storage. We were at the bus stop by 8:15 and waited only a minute or two for the HS bus. We were at the gate long before opening. We headed right over to Toy story mania. Sara grabbed fast passes and I queued up. We rode and then headed over to Rocking Rollercoaster. We rode three times in a row and then grabbed a fast pass for it as our Toy story window just opened. After getting RnR fast passes, we headed over to TOT and rode twice....Rnr window opened and we grabbed a TOT fast pass....yes, you can definately get three fast passes if you time it right. We went back and rode TSM with our fast pass and grabbed some grub at Rosie's. After the WAY better lunch than the last time we ate here, we hit RnR and TOT for our final rides of the trip. On the way out of the park, I picked up a present for a friend in the Villian store and we shopped our way out of HS.

We went back to SSR and realized we were WAY to early...we should have stayed at HS longer. We ended up waiting around for over two hours...BORING! The ME bus came right at 3:30...right on schedule and we were soon on our way back to the airport.

Once there, I went and checked our stuff curbside again...I kinda cheated here. I checked myself in for the flight the night before and never printed boarding passes..lol I just wanted a decent boarding section. I had the final seat in section A and DD has B1...oh well I could save her a seat as she waited for the "families" to board in between A and B. While waiting for our flight, we grabbed some random dinner at a pizza shop. I FINALLY found a copy of Eclipse and was totally pumped about having reading material for the plane ride home.

Our flight was 15minutes late, but that was no biggie...we actually landed 10minutes earlier than our orignal time making it technically 25minutes ahead of schedule...pretty cool Southwest. They have my business next trip for sure.


We were home by 10pm...another great trip under our belt...me secretly planning another trip in the near future...lol

Here are some final pictures taken with my phone the day we left..they aren't so good...sorry.

Isn't SW just AWESOME?????
I totally liked them when I flew with them last year.
I only wished we weren't 2 hours from Philly!!!!

I called home the day before and had my brother check us in online and just got our boarding passes at the ticket counter when we checked in!
We got A both times!!!!

What a great trip!

[Dana]

Thanks again to all who took the time to read my report.

Yes, SW was perfect and definately worth driving into philly for...even if I hate that airport.

[Peppertink]

That's it?? But...I want more!!!

hehe...I really enjoyed your TR..thanks so much for taking the time to share with us:)

I love the Spectro pictures! It's been a few years since I've seen it - it's such an awesome parade. The cold this year ruined a lot of our plans for evening fireworks and parades.
