Re: Dana - the no surprise, surprise trip 2009

Welcome Home, Dana!!!!! The pics are REALLY gorgeous. When I stayed there, we stayed in the very first Carousel Building, next to the Paddock bus stop. I didn't think it was that far away, but then again we had a car. When I had to go to the main building, I drove. Also, when we were there, the Paddock bus stop was FIRST to be picked up and FIRST to be dropped off. It was just PERFECT.

I can't wait to hear more about your trip!!!! And have fun shopping for a dress for Sara!

They must have changed the bus route. It went grandstand, Carousel, paddock, congress park and then the springs. It didn't matter. We had perfect timing with busses the entire trip. the longest I waited was ten minutes. I was either really blessed or their bus system is perfectly ran.

Re: Dana - the no surprise, surprise trip 2009

Welcome home Dana. Your pics of SSR are awesome, looks really beautiful. When we stopped in there in October to see the DVC models I was really impressed with SSR and how pretty and well themed it was.

Looking forward to more TR!

Welcome home Dana!

We missed you around here, and we were wallowing in total jealousy that you were able to pull off a perfect last-minute birthday vacation so perfectly!
