Hey Marnie,

Your trip sounds absolutly wonderful. It's amazing that after all these trips, you have so many "firsts" to experience. I look forward to your experiences at POFQ and the Kona Cafe. Both are places that we'd love to get to someday.

With all the deals and other bits o luck along the way you have the makings of an awesome trip. Have a safe trip and return trip.

Bon Voyage!!

OK, I’m back with what could be a final update (depending on the quirkiness of the boards)!! What was I thinking having family over right before we were to leave for a major trip?? I’ll never do that again. I spent all of yesterday cleaning the house, doing laundry, and trying to put it all back together. At least I got all the kids clothes in a pile!! I’ve ordered my Photopass CD this morning, so that’s all done Reserved my space at the valet parking at the airport……another check there! Went to the bank……check!! Colin seems to be over his recent tummy troubles yesterday…….check!! I think we’re just about ready to go!


I came across some pictures from our previous trips, and could not believe how much the kids have changed. And I can’t believe we went when Colin was so little!! What were we thinking??
Here’s one from our first trip in May 2003…..Alexa just turned 4 the day before we left and Colin was just 15 months.



Here’s one from the second trip…..May 2004…….Alexa just turned 5 and Colin was 27 months.



Third trip……..December 2004. Alexa was 5 and a half and Colin was just shy of 3 (his last free trip)!!



Fourth trip…..April 2005. Alexa was just shy of 6 and Colin had just turned 3. We really got use out of our APs that cycle (3 trips)!!



Fifth trip…..December 2005. Alexa was 6 and a half, and Colin was just shy of 4!!



And our last trip……August 2006. Alexa was 7, and Colin was 4!!



I had so many ways I was going to stop and explain how more 7s worked into the trip, but ya know what? I’m running out of time, and I’m tired!! So here’s just a few more things we’re looking forward to:

Firsts for us this trip:
Finding Nemo – The Musical
The Clam Mobiles at the Living Seas
The Monster’s Inc. Laugh Floor
Toy Story Midway Mania
Gran Fiesta Tour in Mexico
Updated movie in Canada
Updated Spaceship Earth


There……that was 7 Plus, Colin is now tall enough to ride most of the bigger rides, and we won’t have to do baby swap any more We’re looking forward to Soarin’, Test Track, Mission Space, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain. Not sure if I’m going to be able to get him on EE (he’s just a shade short at this point) or ToT. I’m not even going to try Space Mountain

And not to forget my Frosty Beverages! I’ve made a list, checked it twice, and you’ll have to wait to find out if they were naughty or nice

So, at this point, I guess I’m done with the pre-trip report!! I’ve really got to finish packing and getting some last minute things done. Of course, if I stayed off the boards, I’d be able to get them done

Looking forward to seeing all the PassPorter faces that will be down there the same time. Come up and introduce yourself if you see us walking by

Great update! I can't believe how tiny Colin is in that first picture!! WOW! all the photos! I remember when you had that adorable shot of Alexa with the Chesire hat and Colin with the Sorcerer hat as your signature photo! Like your list of 7 new things. Dying to find out how many times your number comes up!! Have a magical time, Marnie!! I'm so happy for you, as I know how much you've been longing to go back!!
