You made great use of departure Day. I know you had a late flight but still Food Drinks pool time and packing up and checking out. Great job.
That trip sounded like a great trip, very well planned. You made many family memories.
What a wonderful trip! So sorry to see it end.

First off, back, Cynthia!
I loved your lust updates. You really made the most of your last vacation day. And the recap of souvenirs is a great idea.
Can't wait to read about your Aulani trip!
I would have been frowning with the boys. I never want to leave.
Nice souvenirs. I like the Vero cup. We're headed there in a few weeks, so I might bring one home.
Glad you enjoyed Aulani and had safe travels all the way around. I look forward to seeing pictures and reading about it.
Welcome Home!
Thanks for sharing your trip with us all.
Looking forward to the next TR.
No! Don't let it end!
If only the video camera was running...
I understand, fellas.
Don't you love it when you get a fun bus driver? That's the best.
Understandable. It still doesn't make sense to me that they would bother selling non-safe items.
It really seemed like a fantastic trip! I'm glad you had so many good memories.
Welcome home! I'm glad it was a great time and can't wait to read about it!*
*and plagiarize all of your ideas.
Well, it is a shame it had to come to an end, but don't they all?
It looks like a lot of fun, despite the lack of park time. I'd love to have an opportunity to try a few different resorts and a cruise and just soak up some of the experiences that the resorts have to offer. Such a nice relaxed pace.
I can't wait to read about the Aulani trip. I hope you can get started on your TR soon so that Mark will have a chance to steal as many ideas as possible.
Great pics!
Cynthia, as always, I loved your TR. Thank you for sharing your family's adventures with us.
And I agree with you...the walk between Kidani and Jambo is a piece of cake.
great ending and i loved everything you guys got, do most coffee mugs do that in your dish washer? or just that one?
Great ending to your TR! I am surprised you enjoyed the Kidani pool so much. We had planned to head over there, but then it is just so much easier to go to the pool directly at your building. So all our pool time was at Jambo. And we truly enjoyed all our pool time there!
Nice last day! I've never had a bus driver like that before! Then again, we don't take ME much these days.
I like the souvies and t-shirts! I got the mug like those from Hilton Head with warnings to everyone not to put it in the dishwasher! My F&W one I hand wash too.
Can't wait to hear about Aulani! Between you guys and the podcast team being there, it has just fueled my NEED to go!!
Excellent Cynthia! Another one for the books.
Did you buy those Dream FE keychains you gave out or make them? If bought, please share the seller. Just with me though. Privately. In a PM. I'd love to give those out if our cruise has an FE group.
Thanks!
I made them. Bought all the pieces through etsy though and can PM you the info. Keychain/image part is uber easy, the beads a little less so but only as I'd never done it before so was winging it to a large degree.
I also made some hairclips along the same lines, cute bottle cap bows for a few of the little girls but apparently didn't take any pictures.
If you think of any other questions just let me know, I have a few things to send you over the weekend to look at so will PM you
You made them? Not what I wanted to hear but brava! I am the least crafty person on the planet but would love to know the details. They are the cutest FE gift I've seen.
Ok, now not only do I want to take a cruise, but now I want to go to Aulani!! If my husband ever meets you he might give you the hey, I know you, you're the lady that cost me a lot of money line!!
Glad you had a great time, and once again great TR
Awesome! Thank you!

Yup, that's what my husband said to her!
He's gonna say it again now when we HAVE to go to Aulani! At least we have points, it will just cost us lots of $$ in airfare.
I know you can order ready made keychains similar to those through some sellers on Etsy, but they're not cheap.
