Well, we are back from our trip and we had a blast! We had the deluxe dining plan for the first time. This is how our trip report came to have a new name! Man oh man was this ALOT of food!!!!!!!!!! Every time we had to scurry off to a ressie we said....Do we have to eat again?! ....lol.Soooo here it goes!We begin our trip on Sept. 10th. I dropped of the kids at my mother in laws since I needed to leave before time for them to go to school, and believe it or not, they were all okay with my going to Disney without them! I got on the road at about 6:30am, headed to my brother's house in Louisville, about 100 miles away. When I arrived we ran some errands and then his police officer friend, Adam, came and took us to the airport, in his patrol car. I don't know how they get the bad guys in those darn things. I sat in the back and I had my knees in my mouth! I guess I'm glad he broke the sound barrier on the way there, I couldn't have lasted much longer in that seat. Here are my brother's kids in the backseat (they wanted to go too) Attachment 24352 (

We encountered some storms and had to fly around, and around, and around and around! My brother sat by the window, since this was his first real plane ride, and he kept going, "There's the ocean AGAIN!" lol.We finally landed about 10minutes late, instead of 30 minutes early.We headed down to the DME desk checked in and headed to our line for AKL. We waited about 15 minutes and got a bus.We made a quick stop at Pop Century and then with in a few minutes we were at the lodge. Boy was I impressed. It was absolutely breathtaking!
