Our bands could not open the door to our room, and it took 2 managers to get them to fix the door's mickey reader at 1 am. I was not a happy trooper. We checked out at 11am on the dot. He felt better in the morning. I think he was just exhausted, and his allergies were getting the better of him. Seems most live plants are not good for him. Every pollinating plant/tree/grass he's allergic to their pollen.
And yes, rats, we do miss each other in October. You'll have to plan the beginning of the month, rather than the middle or end. I try to go over Columbus Day, as that's a free work day for me.
And yes, the weather was awesome. I am crossing every finger and toe that we have such great weather this holiday. We're back for round 3. Crowds are us. Mouse and Potter this time though.
Hope your new job will go well, and you will enjoy it. Good luck training this Monday.
That's so frustrating about your magic bands. Technology always seems to let a person down at the absolute worst times.
We will definitely have to coordinate better for autumn 2018. We have tended to book around the Canadian Thanksgiving but I guess we don't need to work around that going foward.
Thank you for the good wishes on my training. I'm unbelievably nervous. It will be good to just get to it, rather than overthinking it like I currently am.
I'm glad Steve is a sport about your Dismeets. I don't know if I could talk my hubby into hanging out with folks he doesn't know. As goofy and outgoing as is with family and close friends, he is a pretty big introvert in general! I could never get him to willingly attend things like work Christmas parties, etc. So sorry that Steve didn't get another chance to hang out with his little buddy
Steve's a very good sport. The only time I think he was really weirded out was a few trips ago, when he was in the lobby of the Days Inn Buffalo Airport getting me extra shampoo from the front desk, and someone from the boards recognized him and said "Wait! You're Steve, aren't you?". He came back to the room a bit rattled
.
I would love to have another trip in the offering but not this year I'm afraid
for me the long travelling day and flight prices means we've have to come across for 2 or 3 weeks to make it worthwhile. Maybe next year we'll manage a trip.
Let me suggest October 2018
. You could hopefully meet up with me,
@Lynne G , and you never know who else!
Usually the teen boys wear those shoes with ankle socks but I still hate it. Apparently it's a style. Can anyone explain this to me? I don't get it. If your feet are cold then put on closed toe shoes. If they are hot then what do you need the socks for? And then there is the shower shoes with the white socks that are now brown from the dirt of walking around like that all day.

I could never figure out Jake's style as a teenager. Heck, it still baffles me now from time to time

I got so far behind!
We love Illuminations (to the extent that we had the music playing during the signing of the register at our wedding...) so I'm glad to hear you loved it too.
It's such a shame that David was poorly and plans had to be changed. I know it's well in the past but hopefully he recovered quickly. HDDR looked like great fun though and I'm glad your DisMeet went well.
Looking forward to reading about
MVMCP!
Poor David took a good two weeks to get back to normal, unfortunately. He really caught a nasty bug. Christmas was a quiet one for Kerry and her family while everyone got back on their feet.
Look....more Dolphins.
I think Steve should try to get on America's Next Top Model.
Aw shucks, he'll be very flattered
. Not too often does anyone suggest he's runway material
.
So sorry that David and Robert got sick...that is just terrible. You know we visited Portofino and thought it looked great, then we stayed there. It was nice but we decided we liked Royal Pacific better. We did club level at both and just enjoyed our time at RPR more.
I would have liked to have seen what PB's pool looked like. I love the pool area at RPR.....so lush and green!
How cute is your Minnie Mouse fleece? Love it!
Sorry that your friends were sick, getting sick on vacation is the worst. Kerry must have been especially devastated after putting so much planning into the trip.
At least you guys were able to spend a few days together before the sickness hit.
I saw that sweater on the
Disney Store before our trip and I absolutely HAD to have it
. I got Kerry a Pooh Bear one (she LOVES Pooh!
... you can kind of see it in our Illuminations Cruise group photo, she was wearing it that night I'm pretty sure) and we picked up David a Disney hoodie. I think they were some crazy price like $12 each....and they're super soft. Mine was a little big, I just wish I had purchased one size smaller. They are very generously sized.
I felt so bad for Kerry, but bless her heart, she took it all in stride. She's an amazing mom
