Lee... I just found your trip report within the last few days and I missed out on the picturesit looks like they were deleted from photobucket. i'm SO disappointed because I am so so so curious to see what this adorable couple looks like. could you maybe possibly please pretty please repost the pictures?
i would appreciate it very much... and i'm sure all of the other newcomers would too lol
I missed out on the pictures too
I have thoroughly enjoyed your TR. It has renewed my faith in romance.
After you've been married for 13 years the romance isn't always as fresh as in the beginning of the marriage. Please don't get me wrong I absolutely love and adore my husband.
He just fizzles on the romance. But I keep trying. I know you are young. I want you to know that your Life is what you make of it. As long as you have a good man who treats you well and loves you no matter what, you can get through anything with God and your man.
I am very glad that you found your knight in shining armor.
Keep on blogging. I love it!!
I have been enjoying your trip report. We have also made our annual trip to Disney in September. We had a fantastic trip with our family. We found out our oldest is engaged and expecting a little one in May cannot wait. Maama and Drake had lots of fun. We loved being able to introduce our newest convert over to the parks.
Your writing is so detailed.

I think her last post was on Christmas Eve. 3 weeks is still a long time.
Hey ya'll.
Sorry it's been so long. I am going to finish this, I just can never seem to get things together after the holidays. I feel more stress after the holidays than I do before them. But thanks for your patience and I will have an update out there soon.

I thought for sure I missed the ending.
I understand busy, hope you get a chance to come back and finish. I am so sorry I missed the posts with the pictures, kicking myself for that.
I couldn't help but think how nice it would be to hear Rig's side of the story, like smidgy and nebo do on their TR's. He seems so funny, like never a dull moment.
Thanks for sharing and hope you get to finish it.

As promised I am back to continue the story and hopefully put it to bed real soon. I feel a bit disconnected to Disney right now and I am having a hard time picking up where I left off, but I am going to do my best to get back into the Disney mood. I kind of miss it.
I had left off at the point where I was beside myself with happiness at Rig buying me two scarves. It was only fair I let him dictate the rest of the day at the park and he wanted Its tough to be a bug. I dont know what his fascination with that whole show was, but he was drawn to it. He said he really liked the whole concept of being in a tree and watching a movie, but I still stand by my theory of him liking it only for the bug glasses because we would find ourselves back at that tree two more times before the day was over, it had to be the bug eyes, I mean I liked the show and all but its not really that spectacular to have to visit so many times in one day. And each time we went I would watch the smile stretch across Rigs face as he reached for those glasses. If I were raised different I might have pocketed a pair for him.
We went into Dinosaur again. I think that is my favorite of all at Animal Kingdom. My favorite ride I mean. If I had to choose only one thing from Animal Kingdom, regardless of it being a ride, show or what have you, my first choice would be that Keylime pie. Hands down, if that was the only memory I was allowed to walk away with from that park, the pie would be it. I hate to say it again but Animal Kingdom wasnt really Disney enough for me. its a nice park and I had fun, but my heart belongs to the castle.
We did the safari again, I was lost in thought for most of it and just spend the time cuddled in Rigs arms and thinking about having to go home the next day. As the day went on I was losing the battle of trying to be cheerful.
I had said no regrets for this trip, I was suppose to go back home with a satisfied heart and mind, and for the most part I was able to do that. But it was as we were leaving animal Kingdom that I I really started feeling the regret of switching parks and it was enough to bring me to tears.
Rig did not like seeing that, Babylee, cmon dont be doin that now.
I blew it Rig, I should have just bitten the bullet yesterday and rode Expedition Everest then, now I am missing out on seeing the castle for one last time.
Rig sighed heavily. Leela, we discussed this before we even went into the park, you knew what you were giving up.
All I could do was nod in agreement. Rig was right, I didnt know then if it was my no regrets attitude or my pride that made me choose to change parks, I was hating my decision. I gave up the castle for a few minutes of terror and bragging rights. Color me bright stupid.
We walked slowly hand in hand to the bus stop. Rig didnt say a word to me until we were on the bus and almost to Pop Century.
You just got a case of the last day blues.
That could have been it, that made total sense too, but I still wished I could see the castle in all its lit up glory just one last time. I rested my head against Rigs arm and just let some tears fall. I was tired too, even though I had slept good the night before, the week had caught up to me, all the emotions, both the happy and the sad had collected in a bucket and was now pouring itself into my soul.
My heart hurts.
Rig kissed the top of my head, Ive always said the worst part of any vacation is when its over.
That goes double for a Disney vacation, how am I suppose to go back to normal life now? How do you go back to serving up pancakes on a Sunday morning after you just ate pancakes with Winnie the Pooh at Disney world?"
Rig chuckled, Itll be fine once youre home a few days.
First thing I am going to do when I get home is start saving for our next Disney vacation.
You do that.
When we got to the resort I could have easily taken a nap, but I didnt want to waste any of my time left at Disney. Rig suggested that we get a hot chocolate and walk around the resort.
That sounded like a good idea. Rig ran to the room and got our mugs and I planted my depressed behind in a booth. When Rig showed up I didnt want to go for a walk, I wanted to stay in Everything Pop and just try and absorb some of the energy, maybe store it up and take it home.
Rig filled our mugs, only he got coffee and then we just sat next to each other in the booth and watched and listened to the families around us.
Im jealous of the people who are just beginning their vacation.
Rig gave my shoulder a squeeze, Im sure there were people feeling that way about us a few days ago.
It was over too fast.
Really Babylee, you need to get out of this funk, we still have a dinner to go to tonight and I would like to enjoy it, thats gonna be hard to do with you being so mopey.
I gave Rig my best smile, I promise I wont sulk through dinner.
We sat quietly for a very long time after that, I could tell Rig was deep in thought, his jaw was twitchin. I was starting to think I had brought him down with me and was about to apologize when Rig spoke up.
We really spent more than we should have on this trip, but if we tighten our belts for the next 2 weeks and cut back on a few things we could probably buy us a 1 day ticket and still go to Magic Kingdom tonight.
I loved the idea but all the same it made me feel bad that I had been so pouty that it brought Rig to the decision to just blow our budget. He was willing to give things up so I could have one last look at the castle. That was such a huge reality check to me because Rig is very aware of our budget and is strict about sticking to it.
Man do I feel like a spoiled brat.
Dont feel like a spoiled brat Leela, just know that I love you.
I shook my head and smiled up at Rig. I dont want to buy a 1 day ticket, that would be way too much, it was my decision to skip Magic Kingdom today and I will just live with it and be happy.
Next time we come here we need to get the park hopper and then you can change your mind as much as you like.
I knew thats what I would do too. I mean get the park hopper, that way wed have more freedom.
After another mug of hot chocolate we headed back to our room to get ready for our dinner at Whispering Canyon Café.

It is so hard to be at the end of a Disney trip.
On my first day, right after I check into my resort, I always notice the people who are leaving. You know, those people who are wheeling all of their luggage towards the lobby with sad expressions while they try to soak up the very last moments of the resort. I don't want them to be unhappy, but, watching them makes me really take note that I am just starting all the fun and happiness. It makes me more thankful at the beginning. Then, when it is my turn to check out I am better able to handle my sadness. Because I can remember my happiness with such clarity. Although, I admit, I would love to live at the resorts for about a year or so. And, like many on the Dis, I certainly would live there for a while if I could afford to do so.
Thanks for the update Lee.
