Thanks Missus Toad! I'll miss writing it and reliving it over and over!

Maybe people will just keep talking to me about the trip for the next 10 months? Then hopefully I'll write another!

Hi Karen! Nice name!
Thank you so much! I wrote the whole report FIRST and then posted it, I think that is why I posted it so quickly. It was easier than writing it as I went along, that would have stressed me out too much worrying about getting the next part written. Gotta love that OCD.

After Rey took Savannah to get something to eat (they hadn't gotten her much veggie stuff for the house when they went to Sams), we drove to The Boardwalk. I LOVED this place. Too bad the Boardwalk Hotel is a Deluxe ($$$) b/c I would love to stay there.

I took some pictures and we walked around a bit to see where we wanted to eat. One of my favorite pics of the trip, definitely my favorite of Rey & I!











We settled on the Big River Grille mainly b/c they had tables outside and I wanted to just sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather! Here's a shot from our table:


It was gorgeous out! Dinner was ok, drinks were ok, but I didn't care b/c it was gorgeous outside and we were enjoying each other! When we were finished from our LEISURELY dinner we walked around the boardwalk and decided to walk to Epcot! It only took about 10 minutes and it's a beautiful, relaxing walk.

I took pictures, of course! Rey understands that I just have to, I'm compelled.

I love your trip report! The picture of the two of you for your anniversary dinner is perfect! How lucky you are to have such a special family. I was at the world in July with hubby and our 6 kids and since they range from 26 - 7 it was a challange doing what makes everyone happy. And our group will not split up either! I can definately relate to planning and not having the cooperation you need - they just don't understand that you are trying to maximize their experience! By far this is the most entertaining report I have read! Great Job!!!!

WOW! THANK YOU njtinkmom! That's a HUGE compliment, I've read many many trip reports here and that means a lot.

Great trip report - I'm sad it's done. You'll have to go back soon so you can write another!

Hey I have an idea for you! Instead of talking about this trip for the next 10 months, why don't you start a Pre Trip Report (PTR) on the boards and we can all follow along with your planning! I know for one I would surely love to read about you OCD antics, as I am OCD about planning myself! I am leaving for a few days of hubby alone time in 11days and I have not really done much for this trip (ok a few adrs, keys to the kingdom tour, etc. etc.) becuase I am too focused on my July family trip! But I would think for you to journal all your planning here would be excellent and a good way to keep the hype going! Hope to see one - I promise to be the first to subscribe if you do!! Best wishes for all your future plans!

That's an idea! You don't think it would get too boring over 10 months????

and how terrible will it be if we end up not being able to save enough money for the trip by then, will everyone feel just as let down as me?!?!? Ooooh, you could SHARE in my pain!

I'll think of a pretrip title tonight and get one started soon...and you know that means in about 10 minutes, right?

With your writing skills - I doubt boring will every come to mind! Just think we can always come up with new money saving ideas - check out the budget boards - they have great ideas too! It's a great forum to bounce off ideas and get great suggestions! Or better yet - you can make a blog site! I know in the PTR reports people write about lots of everyday goings on as well! You story was so detailed, I feel like I know your family and don't want to miss out on anything! Good Luck! Let me know!

[Twoboysnmygirl]

DONE! I know, that was REALLY hard to convince me, wasn't it?!?! Took me a long time to come around!

Here is my PRETRIP REPORT!!!:
September 2010~All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them...

[njtinkmom]

Excellent!! Going to check it out now! See ya over on your PTR!!! Gina

[Twoboysnmygirl]

I guess I have to request that my trip report be moved to completed trip reports (how sad!) but I don't know how?

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Moderators? Can you move my TR to the completed section???

[Daisy14]

Wow thank you for the great read! Took me 3 nights but I got it in. I am now going to buy a DSLR myself for our next trip. I especially love your night pic of illuminations (in your last day) with the tree on the island and green and blue fireworks, it looks a lot like an electric Palm tree!

[Twoboysnmygirl]

Thank you Daisy! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! When you are looking for a DSLR, the people over on the DIS photography board can help. There's also some online classes you can take to learn the settings and help you learn about how to use a DSLR. I'm still learning and I've the my Nikon for 6 months!
