    Default The Barry Bunch Final Thoughts

    LOVE renting points and staying at the Boardwalk in a studio! Love having the kitchenette in there with the fridge, toaster, coffee maker, and microwave. Will ALWAYS remember the bag with the dry clothes and pre-purchased ponchos in the future. Wish Disney would measure kids as they went INTO the park and gave them a stamp or something to say they can or can’t ride which rides, I am a little tired of the cast member discretion, especially when it is not the same across the board. I am all for safety, but if she could ride it safe on Tuesday, I don’t see how she is less safe on Friday! I still like the dining plan and having food paid for ahead of time. We still order appetizers if we want and know that we will pay out of pocket for those items. My kids are thrill ride junkies and I LOVE IT! ! If you are stuck on a plane, ask to leave the plane sooner rather than later. I love WDW. Planning for the next trip already in late November / early December 2012 for my 40th birthday! Whoo Hoo!

    I love our DVC rooms! They make me so spoiled! I agree with you on all accounts. Plus it is really hard for a little one to comprehend "although I went on this ride yesterday, today I cannot."
    Glad you all had a great vacay despite some mishaps! Thanks for the reports! Have fun planning your next trip!

    Your trip reports were great! Thanks for sharing!

    I (again) agree with you about the measuring ... kids just don't understand how they are all of a sudden too short when they were tall enough yesterday.

    Thanks for your trip reports. I enjoyed reading them.

    I agree with you on the measuring the kids at the entrance, which would seemingly make more sense! However, I don't know how efficient that would be, so that's probably why they don't do it.

    Seems like you had some ups and downs, but overall a great vacation.

    Too funny about Alex talking in her sleep. Our older son does that, and whenever we stay in a hotel room, DH and I wake up every night, in the middle of the night, thinking he's awake. He never is.

    Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

    thank you everyone! Some good news, I wrote a very polite complaint to Delta about the treatment during the delay, or rather lack of any treatment. We will each be credited $75 voucher for our next flights. Have not received them yet, so dont know if we have to jump through hoops to use it, but it is something! Now I just have to go buy a new cell phone!

    Thanks everyone! Get this, We have no emptied every bag, and never found my cell phone, so I reported it to AT&T today. I knew EXACTLY what time my last call was and to which number, because it was to my Mom to tell her the flight was delayed. Turns out someone at the airport picked it up, and has been making international calls on it. Fortunatley because I could state the exact last call I made, all others will be taken off my bill, and I got a new phone today. UGH! I can;t even IMAGINE finding someone's phone and USING it!

    Loved reading about your trip. Sounds like you had a great time. My daughter (almost 15) talks in her sleep as well and sometimes sleepwalks. Always fun to share a room with her when traveling!!
