I'm glad they didn't charge your credit card for the cancelled adr. When someone isn't feeling well, you would think they could be a bit more forgiving. You gave plenty of notice and now they could take a walk up.
Those onion rings at Sci-Fi are so yummy! DW's steak looks pretty tasty, too.
Really great trip report! Looking forward to your final thoughts.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I can certainly understand charging for not showing up at all to an ADR, but if you've given them the courtesy of a call 3-4 hours ahead of time surely they can fill your spot with a walk-up.
Sci-Fi's onion rings are the BEST! I don't know why they are any better than onion rings anywhere else....they just are!
Thanks for the compliments! Final thoughts coming up.
For a minute there I thought your ribs were burnt
I also got the same thing as your wife and was surprised at how good the steak was.
Anyway thanks for sharing your trip with us, I really enjoyed all of it
I know! That was a terrible picture! With no flash they were too dark to see, but with the flash it made them look burned. They were actually quite yummy, but I wish I would've gotten the steak instead. Thanks for the compliments! I've enjoyed writing this report!
A great day to end your vacation...Muppets, Star tours (although I have a hard time with this without an upset stomach, can't imagine riding it right after having one) and then Toy Story Mania.
Thank you for sharing your TR with us. I look forward to your final thoughts.
I hated that the heat was really getting to us, but it was. It was a bit unfortunate that the trip ended a little earlier than expected but I think we made the right call.
Good to hear the steak was good at sci-fi - I planned a lot of breakfasts since that's what my kids eat the most. We only have one dinner reservation at it's at the sci-fi. I was hoping to hear a good review!
I was really pleasantly surprised by the steak at Sci-Fi! It was yummy!
Being sick is the pits but being on vacation and not feeling well is the total pits. I'm glad that you two started feeling better after cooling off and were able to enjoy a few more things before leaving.
It sounds like a wise decision to cancel dinner reservations and hit the road. Even though you don't want to see the end of a trip, it is nice to make it home. I sure wish that our drive was only 9 hours.
I think DD and all of us got a little too hot waiting to get in Sci-Fi. She gets sick easily anyway. We hated to end the trip early but it was the right call.
What an odd way to cover the double-charging of meal credits. Sorry to hear that the heat was making you feel not-so-hot. Good decision to leave early an get home. Nothing feels as good as home when you're not feeling well.
I know right? Yeah, we definitely made the right call by coming on home early. My only regret is that I really really wanted to eat at Sanaa. Oh well....that will definitely be on my list for our next trip!
I'm so sorry that the heat got to you and your DD. It can really take a toll on a person.
I love Muppets 3D. It was looking a little worn last time I was in there though. That won't stop me from going though. I love the grumpy old men in the balcony seats!
Gotta love that air conditioning too!
Your DS may have beat you (just barely) on TSMM but, I did notice you were more accurate. I would rather have you at a gun fight with me.
Glad y'all made it home safely. Don't you just love climbing into your own bed when you get back? Your animals are so cute!
It's funny...we live in the Southeast U.S., so we are used to the heat...but this was Central Florida June Humidity midday heat. All you really want to do is be indoors or in a pool somewhere!
Oh I love Muppets 3D also! I always enjoyed the TV show when it used to be on, and this show is a great throwback and tribute to the original show. It is definitely "worn", but I'm okay with that!
Yeah, that's EXACTLY what I told DS! Lol! Points, Schmoints! I'm more accurate!
(not that I'm competitive or anything!)
Yes I think our desire to sleep in our own beds was greater than our desire to stick around. The pets certainly were glad for us to be home!
I loved your TR Alan and can't wait for the next one whenever that may be. It was fun following along to all your adventures.
Thanks! It takes a lot of time to put a TR together, but it is therapeutic also...and you have a permanent record of your vacation to refer back to in the years to come! Thanks for reading along!
I've loved this TR so much I've started reading your 2009 report! It's awesome to see how much your kids have grown from one TR to the next.
.
Awww, thanks! I'm really proud of the kiddos....they've grown into really good and responsible teens. Thanks for reading along...again!
I usually take it easy on the DISboards between trips, and we are heading down in a little less than a month so I am back in full force. This TR has gotten me beyond excited! 
So good to see you! It is just plain scary how much the kids have grown since our last trip. I'm definitely proud of the young adults they've become.
Have a wonderful day!
