Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to post a couple last minute photos and talk about this Mousefest trip.
It was great finally meeting many of you for the first time and seeing others again. I must admit, being with all of you, having so much fun, and then having to leave Mousefest Tuesday afternoon was very emotional for me. I usually get somewhat emotional at the end of a trip to Orlando because I'm leaving the magic, but I must say leaving this trip it was different. It wasn't the parks and resorts I would miss it was all of you who made this trip so special.
There are times in life when you should look back and reflect on events. This, for me, is one of them. I've been sitting here in front of my computer with images and emotions going through my head most of the day. All of which were very positive.
Some of the things I will remember most about this trip:
Walking around the parks and resorts in our groups and sharing laughs
Sharing a Dole Whip with Paul, Alicia, and Jen in honor of Bawb
The Drink Around the World meet. I've never ate, drank, and laughed so much at once. Thanks for leading us Tonya.
Our flat friends (Brandie..That was an excellent idea to bring them along)
Talking and laughing with everyone at the Mega meet.
Riding TSM countless times with many of our friends
Meeting the rest of the DIS Unplugged crew and staffers for the first time
The kindness many of you displayed not only to me, but to each other
Some other cool things that happened during this trip included visiting the Gaylord Palms, eating breakfast at Villa de Flora and watching some good entertainment and shopping at Downtown Disney.
That about wraps it up. I'll miss seeing many of you until May. I'm more excited about the cruise now than ever before. It's going to be fantastic. When I arrived home last night I must have talked two solid hours to my wife Kim about our adventures. She's very excited to meet all of you as well. Happy Holidays everyone!
Here are a few pictures I didn't get a chance to post until now.
