So enjoyed reading along again this summer!! I'm glad that you are now DVC members--more fun reports to look forward too
Thanks for a GREAT TR! I just got caught up - our work days started on the 10th, and the kids came the 12th scared1, so I'm not quite DIS-ing like I was. But I really did enjoy your report. Hope the beginning of the school year is good to you, and that we get to hear about another trip soon!
OH NO!!! Say it isn't so??!! The TR is over?!! After being away the past two weeks I have finally caught up on several TRs and I must say the past pages I have read over on yours have been so much fun to read!!!! I especially enjoyed hearing that your final MK day experiences were great!!! Isn't is fun when the park is really slow??!! looks like you had luck at MK too! The photo of you on the Astro Orbiter was just adorable! CP pics were too cute too! And of course Le Cellier -- how can you go wrong there??!! -- and lets see, what else, Oh! The gotta ride Dumbo for the just under 40 request, OH that was funny, and also the DVC play-by-play, very nice! So glad you got to explore the AKL area on your own! AND of course that you ate at the Castle!!! Your girls were toooo cute but if photos could talk, that one of Luke and the kiss mark, OMGoodness TOOOO precious!! Save that one for his HS yearbook baby photo!!!!
Hope all the birthdays go well, the invites were very cute, and that school gets off okay for you. Looking forward to your final reflections on your trip and the big reveal for your next one!!!! Yay for DVC!!!
Thanks again for such a fun PTR and TR!!!!
Such a great trip.....I can't wait to hear when you are heading down next!
I'm going to miss seeing your kids every few days!
I don't think I'm liking this end of trip report thing.
Do we get to see start of school pictures of Hannah?
Great recap, Laura! I absolutely loved your TR and am sad to see it end. I completely agree with you on the Dining Plan and on resort days off between park days. I'm motivated to ask my gang what their top 10 are now!
What a wonderful recap! I've loved reading about your trip. I have a hankering to stay at the Contemporary now. I just can't imagine being able to walk to MK! How fun.
Great recap!!! I just loved being able to share in this trip with you and your family!! I look forward to many more trip reports with you in the future!!!!

Great recap! I really enjoyed your TR!
What a great recap Laura! It's good to be able to reflect on the trip and decide what worked and what you would like to change the next time around!
Can't wait for the top 10!
Emily- This was the trip of Emily moments. She was IMO perfect to experience all the Disney magic. This was the trip I really felt it made lasting memories and impressions to her. My only sad moment was she was not quite 40 inches--- next time.
Luke- his first trip was a success. He was a trooper, and was really good despite the heat and his age. His reaction to It's a Small World and Pirates of the Carribean I will always remember and treasure. I know experiencing it with a boy will be so fun!
Hannah- I treasure that she still loved the princesses, but I see that we are moving towards HSM and other things. Expedition Everest was a treat to ride with her, and I love how she said, it was hot, but I did not care mom, we were at Disney--- gotta love that attitude.
I loved this part of your last thoughts! This is part of why we love Disney so much, isn't it?
I am going to miss your TR -- you are going to start a PTR for next summer ASAP, right?
Hi Laura!
We're back from the beach I'm and trying to catch up with my favorite reports... I feel your happy exhaustion when you wrote about your last day! No matter how much work is involved, it's still so hard to leave!
What a fabulous trip! Yes, there was a bump or two in the road... that's always impossible to avoid, but overall it seemed completely magical for all!
The girls looked so pretty in their Disney dresses and Luke was every inch a little prince! So many amazing pictures... I'm sure you'll have a tough time choosing your favorites.
Thanks for sharing your story... I'm looking forward to the recap!

Hey! Your final recap was perfect! Love what you have to say about the kids, and thankfully the dinners! AND the contemporary bit -- It really is a great location! Looking forward to a top 10 and a new PTR when the plan materializes!!!!
Great final thoughts! Your pictures really showed how much fun you all had this trip and how the kids really did enjoy it too. :
