Backstage Magic Tour 4/22 - 4/27 - 1ST POST UPDATED 4/15

If you could email a pic that would be WONDERFUL!! THANK YOU! It was the only time Tony didn't bring his camera and I didn't let him forget it. it's disneycruise at gmail.com (substitute @ for at).

Our flight was uneventful; a little turbulence, but at that point it just rocked me to sleep! I know what you mean about going through everything. I've gone through our bags and every time I see a pin I bought or our postcard pics. or something else it brings a flood of memories. I wore one of our Imagineering shirts today...I am still in awe of the experience we had.

Barb - Scott and I took a couple of photos of Stacia at work as well - they'll be on the DVD.

Heh - we also spread out all our swag on the floor as we unpacked - had a few panicked moments til we located all the AbD pins. I took the photos along to show my parents when we picked up our dog yesterday - I think I talked their ears off about the trip over dinner - no wonder I had almost half of it left over to take home! I even dreamed last night about meeting up with the group & waiting for Diana and Quinn to whisk us away to yet another amazing adventure! Sigh...

I posted it in Barb's thread, but will put the link to our trip report here as well - it's still a work in progress.

Your trip reports are awesome - I'm so glad that you all had such a wonderful time. Makes me so excited for our ABD trip, we leave on May 15 for Ireland!!! I'm so excited I can't SLEEP - hahaha.

Just out of curiousity, did they offer any incentive for purchasing another ABD trip (kinda like they do on the cruise) - just wondering!

We received a card for 10% discount off any non-discounted regular rate ABD vacations. It must be done within 10 days. I'm too tired to think about planning another right now. But, I know we would love to do one someday. Love ABD!!!!!

I've enjoyed reading about the trip, and I'm excited about my trip, even though it is so far in the future!

I wanted to ask, does each person get their own ABD pin of the day? Or is it one per room? My friend and I are from two different households, so I wonder how that works.

Each person receives their own.

I notice atigeg (aka my DH) ignored the question about pics, even though he's the one who needs to get them off the camera and into my hands!

Cool! Thanks for posting. I'm coming down with a cold (darned recirculated airplane air) so that gave me the cheer I needed today.
