Safe travels, Rory! I envy your additional days off...
I did have to use up the rest of my vacation time but luckily the new yearly allowance starts in July

Take care and have a good flight Rory.
Lisa, I could hear your laughter from here when I wrote the yanks lost!
we had magic morning at Disneyland park today, which was a total waste of time as the rides we wanted were down and the shops don't open until 8am
stayed most of the day, left at 4 as it was packed and very hot, really tired after long day so bed by 7pm, but typical as soon as lights go out I wide awake, but I don't dare disturb the grump today as she is disneyed out and sore feet, which for some reason I don't have that particular problem
now am getting silly so must sleep, we heading to the racers at carsland early tomorrow - what's the bet it's 101.
for those back at work - I'm sorry and hope u got thru the days ok.
Truth be told, while I had an awesome time with some wonderful people...I started to realize I miss Walt Disney World. Disneyland is nice and different, but Disney World feels to me like the one they got RIGHT. But, hey, less than 5 months until we go back.

Allthough I love my WDW, I'm thinking I liked DL a bit better. I'm not sure if it was because the parks were unfamiliar to me (only 2nd visit and the last one being 10 yrs ago), the coziness of it all or if it was history behind the parks.
I know what you mean, Pete. It's been more than a year since I've been to Disney World and, unlike you, I have no current plans to return there. (I'm sure that won't last very long.) I think I said this in California, but I miss Epcot (and Animal Kingdom, for that matter).
I can't wait to go back and even though John had a great time I'm thinking we Disney'd him out and it will take a long time before he's ready to go again. So I guess my next trip will be a girls trip. Whose in????
BTW Kevin, John ordered a corned beef sandwich at the farmers market and since I'm not a huge corned beef fan I said I'd just try a bite. Well...that bite ended up to be half the sandwich (John wasn't pleased LOL). It was so lean and tasty. Good suggestion! Thx! And thanks to Jeff to for hunting down the name of the corned beef place for us.

Jeff, I can't wait to chat with you guys, so much to talk about. When will you be back in FL?
skier_pete said:Hey everyone! Happy to be home, but still thinking about that amazing trip! Just wanted to let everyone know I will eventually be putting together a DVD of the trip using the pictures and video from both ABD and what I took - I do this mostly for myself, but if anyone would like a copy I would be happy to oblige.
However, don't expect this to happen quickly. I'll try to put it together in the next six months, but I am woefully behind in my editing and my free-time is super-limited.
I am hoping Matt will allow me to upload his video of the haunted mansion to add it as well, as I didn't have my videocamera out for that.
Just saw Matt's Haunted Mansion video. Great job Matt!
Me and Jessica did have a bad experience with the "grads". Our very last day at disney we had until 5pm to do everything we wanted to do before our ride to the airport. Jessica was going at top speed and I had to practically run to keep up with her. We wanted to see everything that is unique to disneyland.
And one of the things we wanted to do again was Pirates of the Carribean. Well we got on a boat filled with grads...boys and girls..from the "hood". I think the CM should have known better than to put us in the boat with them but he wanted to fill the last row. As soon as we were out of sight of the docking area, the grads starting throwing water on everyone in the boat. Then when we floated past the restaurant they shouted out curse words to the diners. After that they started standing up in boat and some were lying across others. They were loud, dirty language all the way and we could not even hear the ride itself. It was our last time to ride and they spoiled it. Throughout the ride they kept wanting to rock the boat. I don't believe the boat can actually tip over but they were trying to tip the boat and I thought the boat may go off track. I am from New York and work in a tough high school but I did feel afraid since me and Jess were the only regular people on boat. I was surprised this went on for about half the ride and Jessica said she heard an announcement to not stand up in boat. I was wondering if they had cameras watching the boats. I felt trapped and stuck with these grads. If I could have walked out of the boat I would have. I was just hoping they would not bother us. These grads were of such a bad element that I did not want to say anything at all even after we got off the ride in fear of retailiation. After the annoucement to stop standing in boat another boat came up behind us very close...bumper to bumper...and I felt safer since they were regular people and I did not feel outnumbered. Then the grads calmed down a bit.
