Southwest flight down was fine and actually arrived 15 minutes earlier. Used Tiffany Towncar for a quick Publix stop and remembered Toms invite to stop over at the Timeshare Store. Very nice office and his staff was very friendly. They gave myself and chip126 a HUGE giftbasket all filled with goodies from the Basin. NICE! :) Didnt get to meet Tom but left him a quick note.

We checked in to OKW studio and I will admit after staying in a 1 bed at VWL I am spoiled. OKW is beautiful and will return sometime but will stay in a little bit larger unit. The kids enjoyed the pool and I enjoyed the Gurgling Suitcase :) :) (they take DDE card there!)

We moved after 4 days over to the Poly and WOW! We stayed in Fiji and the room was Gorgeous! Newly renovated!

Quick highlights of the trip....

My ds was picked to pull the sword from the stone. My dd took pics which I will try to post later. Definately a Magical Moment! (My first meltdown for the trip)

We went to Tonys for the Magical Gatherings breakfast. Food was yucky but FANTASTIC character interaction with Tony (he sung Bella Notte) Chip pulled my dd up to dance and(I had my second meltdown) then we were all lead to a back room for a private meet with Mickey-

My godson (1) dressed as Stitch at Ohanas breakfast...Too Cute!

Dear godson again saying "Duck" and "bus' for the first time and doing his Tarzan impersonation! :) And tasting his first Turkey Leg! :) :) :)

And meeting Colorado Belle and Athenna in the DOWNPOURING rain for Wishes! Super nice ladies and wish I could have spent more time with you both-

Having a very nice dinner with Colorado Belle at Ragland Road. My children and I enjoyed her company very much- Super nice! Then running into her again on the Boardwalk... and briefly meeting matsysgramma (sp)

All in all a nice trip and will post on the restaurant board about our dining- :)

Sorry we missed you at Wishes. We bailed from the rain and went shopping instead.

Will post my trip report soon. This was my sister's first trip and it was priceless to see her react to things.
