| Well, Melissa, you have left me speechless and you know that never happens!  I have loved every segment of your TR. The special birthday you were privileged to experience was truly priceless. You have managed to make it so real for us in your description and pictures. I am sure that the memories of that day will be with you and Grumpy forever. Congratulations on the magic you were given and thank you for sharing that magic with us.

| The updates were fantastic...I am so happy that your birthday was so extra special for you....after suffering for those few days with a cold and trooping through your vacation had seemed so perfect up to that point but how much more magical it got... I had tears just reading.... |

| 16 October – We depart :cry:  After one last breakfast on our balcony overlooking the golf course, we left Shades of Green about 8:30, DSC02721.jpg stopped at the Hess Gas Station and filled up. Talked with a CM that works at AK  , lucky her, she was from New Jersey. DSC02725.jpg DSC02727.jpg We made our usual stop for Oranges and this time I bought some Orange Blossom Honey.  We listened to our 4forADollar CD, boy they are amazing, Grumpy and I love this CD. If you like them on stage at Disney Studios, I suggest you get their CD it is great. We ran into rain after Tallahassee, stopped for lunch at Wendy’s and we were home at 6pm. Today’s Weather: Sunny, warm The best thing today was: nothing we had to leave  The worst thing today was: having to leave The funniest thing today was: we could not see the backseat of the car, it was full of Disney bags, next time we bring the truck

| My Final Thoughts A lot of firsts for Grumpy and I on this trip: 1. First time to purchase AP’s  2. First time at all 4 parks when they opened 3. First time to see the entire Park Opening of MK 4. First time to Celebrate our Birthdays and to be there during the fall holiday. 5. SpectroMagic Parade WOW Amazing  6. First time to ride the WDW Railroad all the way around the MK  7. Le Cellier  8. Tony’s we will definitely eat here again9. Sci Fi ditto we will be back 10. My first time on Everest WAHOO  itOverall the weather was wonderful the whole entire trip, but I have my own personal Weather Man to thank for that you Grumpy. I never leave home without him  The crowds were amazing, even a local man said these were the largest crowds he had seen. Apparently some schools now have Fall Break and were actually on vacation. FALL BREAK   didn’t you just go back to school in September  Our room at SoG was great. We really enjoyed the view from the balcony and watching the fireworks from Epcot.   Reminder to self ask for that room again. DSC02720.jpg We even found a spot on the 5th floor Parking Garage to view the fireworks from the MK. If you look real close you can see Space Mountain. it is the little hump in the center of the picture.We thought it was strange  that we did not see the Dream Squad at any of the parks, and then on the last day we are in the MK and on my birthday no less, they appear and get my own Dream Squad Tag Team I am all verclempt..talk amongst yourselves.Just meeting those special people who are picked to be on the Dream Squad was wonderful. This was definitely the highlight of our trip. So I felt very honored and special to be picked out of the crowd to have a wish that I did not ask for granted to me. They are very special CM’s and I plan on looking for them on my next trip to say hello  and  for my special day. What can I say about the Food & Wine Festival , except that if you have never been during this festival I highly suggest it , we met the most wonderful people, MontiMouse it was wonderful to meet you, had the most wonderful food and wine . Everything we sampled was just delish  Seeing David Cassidy was awesome, Starship was wonderful as always. This was the most relaxing, enjoyably vacation that Grumpy and I have had in a long time. Even with my cold.  We took over 700 + photos between the 2 of us So I have a lot of scrapbooking to do  We have two more trips waiting in the wings, a trip in January 25-29, and our trip in May 11-17 for our Anniversary  and to celebrate Grumpy getting his Masters Degree , so stay tuned . Have a Wonderful Disney Day everyone TTFN
