I am so enjoying your trip report!! It's so much better to read about your Disney days than hospital days! Cassidy looks great and I cracked up at how many times you had to ride Kali River Rapids! Your dinner at the Castle was so special; I LOVE those glass slippers! What an awesome idea! The special dessert plates for Annie and Wyatt are impressive too! I agree with you about the price but have to say every time we've gone it's created a very special memory. Your Mom's trip was a little nerve-wracking, huh! We have Allegiant here so I know what you mean about only having flights on certain days. So glad she made it. I know I'm forgetting something I wanted to comment on, but, suffice it to say I'm so glad you're having a wonderful trip and thanks for sharing it! Oh, I love your movie night ideas! What a great way to build excitement for an upcoming trip plus who doesn't love to watch Disney movies anytime?!?! Ok, now it's your turn!
I agree, much better to be writing about dinner in the castle as compared to dinner in the outer entry of a hospital room! The castle was worth every penny and I'm SO glad we did it. I think if I could time it with the fireworks again, I would do it without the dining plan. It added SO much to our dinner. All the little extras were definitely worth it too.
Yah, my poor mom. I don't envy her trip - It's nice to fly out of the airport that's only 25 mins away as compared to 3.5 hrs away, but I've got to say for us the 3.5 hrs is the only way to go. Allegiant just hasn't impressed me much from what I've read and heard. Plus their baggage fees are too steep for our fam of five. Most importantly, they don't fly the whole month of September!
I love when my mom (and dad) is on vacation with us, but I'll admit that I'm looking forward to our trip in September when they will NOT be coming. (This will be the first September in 5 yrs that they won't be coming, but they are saving up for 2015 when they want to take all 11 of us to Disney and on a cruise for their 40th anniversary) When they, or just her, are with, it seems that we split up more and don't get as much family time. So, now that Cassidy is getting bigger, we like to do more of the same things, so I'm hoping to plan more family time.
We had an small movie night this weekend also - Great Mouse Detective. Unfortunately, not many of us liked it. Last time I saw it I was Cassidy's age. It was OK, but not as good as I remembered. Alice and Wonderland is up for this weekend. My choice, since it's Mother's Day.
I'm working on an update right now. Rummage Sale is finally over. We made enough to pay our huge fuel oil bill and MNSSHP tickets!!!! yay! I'm glad that I can get the ap discount ahead of time now. I believe they only used to give that discount if you bought them that day. So I will be ordering those tonight!!
Should have the update up tonight too....I dont' mind writing them, it's the dang photobucket battle I hate!
