An absolutely wonderful trip report Cheryl!!! I know that I say this all the time at the end of your TR's but I truly mean it - thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed, interesting and fun trip report for us all to read.

Thank you very much!

DH will happily tell you that it does take a fair chunk of time during each vacation and when we get home!

Just wanted to add my thanks for another GREAT Trip Report! I've been out of pocket for the last week so just finished reading about your last day. The amount of detail that you include always amazes me and I love all of your pictures.

Have a wonderful time on your Alaskan Cruise. We took that cruise in May of this year, although it was with Carnival not Disney. It is BEAUTIFUL there. I can't wait to see the pictures from your cruise, I know they'll be gorgeous!

BOOO...HOOOOO!!! This is over. Great trip, as usual, Cheryl. I envy you guys so much for all your traveling..not your plane rides though..yuck!! Looking forward to our next trip...I mean your next trip...I will just be following along.

I did notice that you never mentioned Mark being mean to Piglet this time. Has he finally given up and embraced the little piggle?

The detail is literally because I write everything as we're out there in shorthand, then later type my notes up. Otherwise, there is no way I'd remember everything. :

So glad you loved your Alaskan cruise - I am getting more and more excited each day about ours!

Hey let's not go too far here... that is just never going to happen! : He does tend to behave if there are children around, which there were for his only encounter with him....

I'm now back from vacation and sooo far behind! Your last day sounded like a great surprise at MK with the lack of crowds. That's awesome! I'm glad the flight home was mostly uneventful. And your flowers are beautiful!
The final thoughts are always fun to read.... 17 days sure was alot of Disney time, and Disney food! You guys did some new things and learned some things not to do next time. It always amazes me how frequent visitors (myself included, although not so frequent) can learn and explore new things each trip! Thanks so much for sharing your holiday with us. Now I must catch up on your Alaska-plus pre trip!

I am just getting caught up, but still behind.
I have to ask, which way does the stretching room stretch? I ahve heard two things. One is that the top only stretches and nothing on the bottom does, then I heard that the bottom does go down about 2 feet, while the rest is the top. I have heard that the DL one actually does go down as they have to go underground for the ride, but the one at WDW didn't need to go underground, so they made it more of an illusion.

You want to know the worst thing? Of course, we knew at the time, but now, I'm darned if I can remember!
