Even though I joined in near the end I thoroughly enjoyed your TR! Hope you have another great visit and can't wait to read all about it!
Oh I so agree. I was just in total awe of it's splender. After dealing with the volume of rain up to that point it was just Disney's way of saying it's gonna be alright.
On a previous trip we heard a family saying they didn't want to ride Splash Mountain because you could get wet... and it was pouring rain.
Honestly, for the money were spending, there should be a grief councilor on site to help us all get through this trauma.
I absolutely loved this TR, Rob. One of the best I've read in a while! That wrap-up post was just awesome. I'm glad you get to go back soon and I definitely look forward to another TR from you!

Departure day. I know exactly what you mean about kind of laughing to myself each morning as you see people leaving and knowing it's not you. And then when it IS you, it feels like a punch in the gut!
I truly enjoyed every minute of this TR, Rob! It's so great that you were able to take that solo trip that you never thought you would and have a wonderful time doing so. Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us! And I CAN'T WAIT for your birthday/Christmas extravaganza next month!!!
Departure day is just the worst! I feel the same way when you see everyone going out to enjoy the parks and you have to leave. You want to either punch them or throw a temper tantrum haha.
This was such a great trip report! Thanks for sharing your experiences, pictures and humor! Can't wait to read the next one!
aw Rob, that concluding post had me tearing up.
I know you thanked us, but sincerely thank you for taking the time to write such a quality, humorous, informative, and memorable trip report
Leaving day is always sad, but on the plus side you are heading down again soon on what I am sure will be another amazing journey!
I am sad to see your trip report come to an end! But a darn good TR it was Thank YOU for sharing with us! Only a week until your next adventure! I hope you have a wonderful time and a very happy birthday!! I hope there will be a new TR to accompany it when you get back?
What an awesome wrap up to the trip!!
Ive actually never seen the twist happen at Pop! Super cute!!
So glad that you did this solo trip and that you had a blast, it really did seem like a great first experience in the solo Disney world! Your stories and adventures were fantastic to read along with and I can't wait to share some of them with you in ONE MORE WEEEEKKA
Wonderful. Just wonderful Rob! The whole thing. The trip, the report, the wrap up, all of it. Your wrap up left me speechless and I have nothing else. I can not wait for the next one!

Thank you for a wonderful TR! You truly captured the magic of Disney
Thank you for such a magical trip report Rob!
I'm looking forward to hearing about your next trip
Awww, so sad to see your report end - it was fabulous!! (I'm about to get started on my first....thanks for the inspiration!)
There really should be a grief counselor at every hotel.
I'm so glad to have found this TR, truly! I have loved every update & have even taken away a few things that I'd like to do myself! I hope you do write another TR about your upcoming trip which is in its single digits!!! No pressure though, I promise. I'm so glad that you got to take this trip that you never thought you would, that you had such a great time & that you shared it with us! Thank you!! Have a wonderful time enjoying the season in Walt Disney World!! I hope you're going to a Christmas party...they are so wonderful & magical. Here's hoping this trip is just as magical! (You'll be hanging out with Brenda & Em, so of course it will be!) xoxo!
I didn't post often...sorry! But I did really enjoy your TR! I am looking forward to reading more TRs from you!
Thank you for sharing!
From another fellow Canadian...
Thank you for a beautifully written trip report. You summed up a Disney departure very accurately.
Have a great time on your upcoming visit and I will be looking forward to your next trip report!
Even though I joined in near the end I thoroughly enjoyed your TR! Hope you have another great visit and can't wait to read all about it!
Hi Dave! I'm Jessie -- one of the ones who has "just followed along quietly". I gotta tell ya that I've been dreading this day... the day you posted the last of your trip report. This has been the best report I've followed along with -- I laughed, I cried, I even had a trip to Disney in the middle of your report and you inspired me to stay for Wishes. Thank you for that. You're such a great writer. Also wanted to let you know that while I'm in Ontario now, I spent my first 19 years in Pictou County. Knowing that you were from my home province also made your trip that much more meaningful.
There were so many times along the way that I wanted to post a comment but didn't. I'm wishing now that I had but I will on your next report. I do want to say, though that your story about the 83 year old man was very touching. And I hope things work out for you and Stacey!
Hang on I need a moment....
Ok, I think I've composed myself!
What a beautiful and touching wrap. That story of the gentleman who you met before Wishes and then the little girl with the now infamous quote - THAT is what Disney is all about! Wholly and completely the magic of that place that is alive and real!
Oh by the way, I will personally take credit for 43 responses to this current TR! You are so welcome!
I sure hope you make some great memories on your next trip!! Looking forward to the next chapters....
Thank you for the great trip report. Alaska airlines gives us a little pixie dust on our final day as the flight we usually take home leaves after 6PM so we have a few hours in the parks before we have to leave.
Bravo Rob!
As a future solo traveler (6 days left) I absolutely loved your report and hate to see it end, I'm glad you only have a week or so until the next trip and I hope you'll do a TR for that one as well.
I am so glad I ran across your trip reports as it has taken away a lot of my reservations of traveling to a "kids" place alone as an adult, although my friends often tell me I act like a child so I'm not to worried about being able to unleash my inner child.
Can't wait to read about your future adventures.
Ohhh I love that!
Unreal. That was my joke the year I got drenched at MK, but it was because I wanted to make my young nieces laugh and they thought it was hilarious. People can be so odd.
Umm, yes. This.
Your wrap-up has me tearing up! I had a pretty rough day yesterday and right now, I desperately need to go on my trip but it's still almost three months away. I keep saying that the Trip Report board is the happiest place on the internet and it's also the most profound.
Walt Disney is my hero. He's my "if you could have lunch with any person" person. (Hmmm... I should save that line for my own report. Ha.) Being able to read the adventures of people who feel the same way and who write about it so eloquently has been a huge blessing to me the last couple months.
Thank you for sharing all of it! Enjoy your upcoming trip!!!
Ugh, isn't that such a bad feeling on your departure day seeing all the people waiting for the park buses and you have to go to the airport?! I hate it!
Anyway, even though I have been a slacker about keeping up with everyone's TRs I enjoyed following along with yours. You definitely had a memorable trip!
