So I finally uploaded some pix and can start this over due Trip Report :thumbsup2
For those who don't know me and my Roamings !!!



I am Rosie , Disney Fanatic, Escort for an Agency that arranges wonderful vacations for folks with Developmental Disabilities !! Pictured above is me on a previous People & Places vacation to Disney !!



My Co Escort friend and Boss is Carol pictured here with a couple of our vacationers !!!

On October 17th we arrived at Buffallo airport to meet our 4 vacationers flying with us to Orlando where we would meet the other 4 flying in from Albany!!
As always we parked the car at Budget and caught the shuttle to the airport , where 2 of the guys were already waiting !! Carol and I have the system down pat and soon had collected meds , money and ID's from the 2 awaiting . Next the other 2 arrived , both of these we knew , shortly after 6 a.m we were in line to check our bags . We called each up to put their suitcases on the scale and got all our paperwork .As we were about to leave ,Chuckie started asking "Where;s my Suitcase " :rotfl2:He could not understand why they took it :rotfl2:
We headed to Security and again explained to all that they had to take off their shoes empty their pockets , take off belts etc !! This is a hard concept for them to understand and then if the security folks are in a good mood they send them thru the quick detector !! Getting them thru the Body scan can be both amusing and a nightmare :rotfl2:
Chuckie was still asking "Where's my suitcase ":rotfl2:
Once thru that we hurried off to our gate and got our "BLUE" cards to preboard , and still hearing "Where's my suitcase " Boarding went as smoothly as possible , we were flying AirTran and had preassigned seats , which can be hard as they don't understand which seat to sit in and why their larger carry ons have to go in the overhead bins :rotfl2: But we got everyone seated without causing any major delays to the other travellers:lmao: Flight left on time and Chuckie still asking " Where's my Suitcase " Flight landed early and we had plenty of time to meet the Albany flight . Then we finally were able to go find Chuckie's suitcase !!!:rotfl2:
With afew delays in getting our ME boarding passes we were off to catch the Magical Express

Check in went smoothly and 4 of our 5 rooms were ready !!

Our vacation had began !!! Hope you will tag along for the ride !!
 


I'm here, Rosie! Hope you are feeling much better today. :hug:

Great pics to begin...except someone got caught in their PJ's for the room shot.:blush: Which is exactly why I will be the one with camera if we ever make it Disney together! :rotfl2:

Oh Christine , you are sooo worried about what sort of pix I might take of you:rotfl2::rotfl2:I promise I would never take any of anyone ese I wouldn't post of myself ;):rotfl2:Now that makes you feel much better :rotfl2:
I'm here Rosie; getting ready for work so be back in a bit to read
Off today but spent the whole morning finishing up the memory books :goodvibesThanks to Pat when Michael gets his book a certain video will be enclosed , which at the appropriate time I am sure she will share :rotfl2::rotfl2:
 


Rosie!! :cheer2:

So glad to see you doing a TR, it sounds like it was a fairly uneventful start to the trip. :thumbsup2

I love that one of your travelers kept asking where his suitcase was, bless his heart. I bet he was more than happy to have that back once y'all landed! :laughing:
 
So having lunch at Pop Foodcourt, I was disappointed my favorite Chicken Alfredo had been healthyfied:rotfl2: I really wish Disney would stop trying to be my conscience !!!:lmao:, we checked out our rooms at Pop and by this time the 5th was ready. I quickly organized the meds an we headed out to DHS . Pat had tried to change our ressie at SciFi to earlier as we wanted to see Fantasmic , but we had a Back up plan of using a CS instead and using the TS at Napoli's instead of paying OOP!!
We stopped at Guest Services to get the DAS cards , which were simple to get and didn't take long at all . However seeing as it is so new the CM steered us wrong , by putting our pix on the 2 cards we got . You will see how we had a potential problem later .;)
We then figured we would try some short line attractions an first up was GMR . The wait wasn't horrendous and the guys really LOVED it !!
Then we headed this way



Anyone Guess where we were headed :confused3:rotfl2:.Again the wait wasn't bad and all enjoyed this show too !!Note I didn't name it so you can all guess and NO the answer isn't 3 Judy's !!!:rotfl2::rotfl2:

We had spotted our CS choice on our way over to ????? and all were able to find something they liked . I had only eaten here once before and had not been impressed but a meu change and a good review from Tim cinched the deal and we headed to ABC commissary!!


I am gonna be in trouble for this pix as now Carol is an official Disser :rotfl::rotfl:

It was time to head to Fantasmic and we were very peterbed to hear that there was standing room only:crazy2::crazy2:A huge crowd was waiting near the arena and my heart sunk !!! But eventually they let aload of us in and I asked for handicapped seating and we got it . A little tight squeeze but we had our seats !!The guys really got a kick out of the audience waves and all joined in !! Finally after some delays we saw



The show was as great as ver and the guys LOVED it !!Getting out is a little hairy , Pat's help was a huge blessing and we lost no one :thumbsup2
Everyone was pretty beat and so we said goodbye to Disney for today and headed back to POP!! The buses weren't tooooo bad I have definitely had much longer waits , and so our first day came to an end :wave2:
 
I've come back to read. Great intros, Rosie.

Now, where's my suitcase?

See Chuck someone else lost their suitcase :lmao:He was happy to pick it up at the airport !! But one would think after seeing he got it back he would not worry again !! Stay tuned for the answer to that:confused3:rotfl2:

Rosie!! :cheer2:

Back to comment....

I am so honored I got to be with this group. You can use any and all of the pictures I sent to you for this report.

Hearding kitten with that group over getting them fed and into Fantasmic. The picture show Michael hiding his food because he did want you taking pictures of it. :rotfl2: Not him .... just the food. :lmao::lmao:

I am surprised everyone did well in the swarm of people waiting for F!.

Getting them out was pretty easy since we split up and met at the corner once we were out of the crowd. We had some really fast walkers and well some who lagged behind.

For those who don't know Pat joined us again this year !!I do not know what we would have done without her , the new DAS made it sooooo tough !! The worse thing was it came just before our trip when plans were made based on having a GAC , next year I will plan much differently and the old brain is ticking away at ways to make the new system work better for us . I do know that Dis tips helped greatly !!!

Michael will be featured a lot in this TR, he was a CHARACTER himself !!!!:rotfl2:
 
Updating last update:rotfl2:Pat caught some much better Fantasmic pix










So Iwill leaveyou with this updated Update !!!:rotfl2:
