We're back! Post Trip report

10/09 Friday – Got off the plane at 10:20am. After a quick lunch and check-in at Pop. Got to love the Magical Express. We entered the MK at 1:00pm. Seeing the castle is such a special moment.
Weather: Hot & Sticky YUCH!
First ride: Haunted Mansion
First Character(s): Donald and Goofy in Frontier Land
Dinner was at the Crystal Palace. This is truly a magical place for me. I loved it just as much as our first time.
Back at Pop early, it was a long day.

Saturday – Hollywood Studios
Weather: Hot & Sticky
Dinner was at Mickey’s Backyard BBQ. Not to impressed with it.

Sunday – Epcot
Weather: Hot & Sticky
Dinner was at Teppan Edo. Excellent experience!

Monday – Animal Kingdom
Weather: You guessed it! Hot & Sticky
Breakfast was at Donald’s Safari. I liked this better than Chef Mickey.
We had lost our DD, 5 years old, for about 10 minutes. But found her with a Disney police officer. I was nervous, but didn’t panic. I know how seriously WDW takes lost children. Thanks Disney police officer Jim from Chicago IL.

Tuesday – Magic Kingdom
Weather: Hot & Sticky
Dinner was at Ohana. Definite do-over on that rez. Loved it!
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween – Loved it better than the Christmas Party

Wednesday Morning – Downtown Disney Shopping
Weather: Hot & Sticky Why break the trend.
In-Laws starting to get on my nerves.
Lunch was at the T-rex Café. I LOVE THAT PLACE!! I felt just like Fred Flintstone. Kids did the Build-a-Dino.

Wednesday Afternoon – Epcot
Dinner was at Coral Reef. Not impressed at all. Probably won’t go back.
Getting more irritated with the In-Laws by the moment.
Never got to Test Track. The ride was down during our Fast Pass, and we weren’t going to stay.

Thursday Morning – Magic Kingdom
Weather: Hot & Sticky
A few last rides and pictures.
Just about had it with the Father-In-Law.

Thursday afternoon – Hollywood Studios
Have officially had it with the Father-In-Law.
Last Ride: Back Lot Tour
Last Character(s): Lightening McQueen & Mater
Dinner was at the Brown Derby. Definitely worth the 2 Table services.
We ended the trip off with Fantasmic. Not a bad ending.

10/16 Friday... We came home.

Pictures on the way.

My biggest fear is losing one of my DDs - I know you are supposed to remain calm, but I just don't know if I could.
Sorry to hear that the weather and in-laws were not always agreeable but it sounds like you had a great time anyways.

Gee, it sounds like it was a little hot and sticky while you were there!

It sounds like you had a great time - despite your in-laws efforts to ruin your vacation!

That was a really cute trip report. I'm sorry the in-laws were getting on your nerves. The progression there had me smiling. Sorry...

Glad you kept your cool when you lost your daughter. Disney is really good with "lost adults". I don't think they ever call them lost children, which I like.

You chose some good dining experiences there. I agree totally with Coral Reef. We've been twice and no more.

Here's hoping you get another trip in the works. Maybe without the inlaws?

Cute TR - short and sweet, and had me . Glad your father-in-law didn't ruin the whole trip, and I guess hot & sticky is better than a hurricane.
