    Well, this was our departure day -- May 22nd. Our original flight was supposed to depart at 4:25pm but about one week prior to the trip, it was changed to 4:55pm . That was no big deal and it really didn't matter one way or the other. Sunshine Flyer picked us up around 1:25pm to head to the...

    Ugh!!! Hi Leebee. Oh, I can just imagine having to drive from Orono to Portland. Yuck! I'm sorry you went through that! I don't blame you or wanting them to put you up forf the night. If I would have had to drive that far, I would have too. When in August are you heading down? Yeah, there are...

    Animal Kingdom Day But first, breakfast at O’Hana. I didn’t realize this is no longer a character breakfast (again, my lack of research) I am 55 years old now and didn’t really need characters. The meal is a lot less expensive without the characters so it’s all good. Breakfast is no longer...

    Magic Kingdom Day Note to self ---- Early Morning Entry for Resort Guests only includes Tomorrowland and some Fantasyland attractions, but you must enter via Tomorrowland.

    We ate an early dinner (5pm) at Minnie’s Seasonal Dine at Hollywood & Vine. It’s cute. It’s still a character dinner and now finally the characters can get close to you again! The meal was good, although the menu is somewhat limited. We ate an early dinner (5pm) at Minnie’s Seasonal Dine at...

    Now, where were we…..ah yes, we found our room 1515 in Building 15 in the Alligator Bayou. We booked a King room which could be anywhere in the resort so we were lucky to get a preferred building close to the food court. I did put that request in, but you know how it is with requests – they...

    Oh boy oh boy! What a miserable start!! About two weeks ago they changed our flights but the time was relatively the same so it was all good. Last night I got a text message at 6:08pm stating my flight on the 16th was cancelled and they rebooked us for May 19th!!! OH HELL NO!!!!! So I looked...

    You've just turned 55! What are you going to do now?

    Hi DJFan!!!! Welcome to my report! I actually now have a bunch of silly straws to add to the minibrands for a pixie dust surprise. I'm thinking of placing labels saying "You've found Pixie Dust". I just don't know if I am going to tape it to the little baggies or get some type of tag thing and...

    You've just turned 55! What are you going to do now?

    Well folks, we are getting so close to the trip! I’ve been busy doing the little things like printing up journaling cards for my scrapbook: and making up my little cards for our daily plans. I do NOT like to be on my phone while in Disney, so I usually write out our day to day plans and...

    You've just turned 55! What are you going to do now?

    We are at 8 days folks and I’m getting so excited. Of course I’m also worried that I may forget to pack something, but I’ve done this how many times now? One year I forgot pj’s. (Peter didn’t mind that). One year we forgot Peter’s swimsuit (he got a new Mickey Mouse one). Of course the usual...

    You've just turned 55! What are you going to do now?

    Wow!! It sure has been a long time since I’ve written a trip report. I used to love reading them and I still do, but I was always wanting more interaction on my reports and it just wasn’t there. Of course now my Dis-friends’ kids are all grown up and there’s not a lot of “family” trips anymore...
