Wombat's Disney Adventure - UPDATED 5/9 - COMPLETE!!

Hey all -- I'm back from my Walt Disney World vacation and Disney Wonder cruise (Walt Disney Suite!!), with lots of stories to tell, including some amazing magical experiences!

I've always written my trip reports in a present-tense, "you-are-there" format, to allow the reader to experience the magic of the vacation as we did. That will still be true this time, but I am making a few changes, starting with the fact that it's being posted on a blog.

Obviously, apart from the first few "prologue"-style posts, this trip report is being written after our return, but I will be taking advantage of the handy blogger.com feature that allows me to supply a specific time and date for posts to make it seem as if they are being posted as the trip unfolds. I've also decided to break up each day's events into multiple posts, rather than compile a single day into one lengthy post as in the past.

The first post -- written quite a while ago -- is already there, and new posts will be added frequently, so check back often.

The trip report website? WombatDisney.blogspot.com. Enjoy!!

After multiple requests to do so, I have begun uploading our vacation pictures to a photo-sharing site, Webshots, so that you can see more pictures, and have them larger and better quality.

The pictures will be uploaded in blocks, after the trip report covering them has been posted, so check back often. I will try to flag new uploads in my trip report.

The photos posted so far are located at this link on Webshots. Enjoy!
