Thanks Rob for sharing your trip with us! I hope you have a wonderful trip!!!
What a great trip! I always feel blessed every time I leave Disney.
So glad you made life long friends. It is definitely a wonderful thing.
Thank you Rob for bringing us along for the ride! I can see, hear and feel the Disney magic in your TRs and I look forward to hearing more soon!!! Safe travels and take care!!!
Hey Rob!
This TR absolutely deserves my very first post on this board, since I'm reading here for months now.
Reading it I felt about every emotion possible, it is written in such an emotional and lovely way, I often had tears in my eyes.
I hope to experience such magical moments in WDW, too, as I'm planning a trip for autumn 2015.
Looking forward to reading more of you!
Greetings from Germany to Canadia ^^

Thank you so much for the wonderful trip report Rob! I am so sad that its over! Thank goodness you have another trip soon I cant wait to read all about it. I feel that we have such similar "Disney" personalities.. I get so emotional over everthing while I am there too. Its such a special place. Want to hear something pretty neat? Even though I live down here in FL, all of our family on my mothers side lives in Nova Scotia! Some in Halifax and some in MIddleton. Small world huh?!
Thanks Rob for sharing your trip with us! I hope you have a wonderful trip!!!
No Rob, Thank YOU! This has been the best trip report EVER. Sorry Jess, it passed the CP by just a hair. Like any great novel, I couldn't wait to read the next chapter, but dreaded reading the final page because that meant it's over. But in this case, I feel sure that I will see another trip report from my favorite DISer from Canadia. Thanks again & Best Wishes !
Thank you for sharing your fabulous trip with us! I really enjoyed reading about your adventures. Can't wait to hear all about your next trip!
I'm glad you went ahead and stopped at DHS before your flight! Sounds like it was a great TOT experience!
Always sad to see your trip reports come to an end! But it was a beautifully written last entry I'm glad you got to spend time with so many amazing people; I know you will always hold this trip near and dear to your heart. Thank YOU for sharing with us and spreading your Disney enthusiasm!!
Only TWO more days until you return. Though I know it may seem like nothing can top this last trip, I KNOW you will have a great time. MNSSHP!!! I am certainly expecting a new TR from you soon Have a GREAT and FABULOUS time!!
First off Rob, it is definitely us who need to thank you for sharing this TR report - and sharing your experiences and your wit and most importantly your heart with us.

Definitely no way you could just relax on your last day! Great morning in MGM and glad you got to Starring Rolls for the first time!
Funny ToT story - and her friends face in the ride photo is classic!
Wonderful summary of your trip and so happy for you that you got to experience all of that.
Lots of vacation destinations have amazing view and other theme parks have great rides ... but nothing has the feelings of Disney
And so many wonderful DISmeets - and really, meeting Carrie and Riley which is way more than a DISmeet.
There is a quote from the Bible that says "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" .... I like to think that when two or more Disney fans are together then Walt is in the midst of them.
.... and to think - you are only days away from your next trip! Wishing you all the best for that!
Wow, they have a lot of different animals at that zoo! Looks awesome. And I'm loving the picture of a the hippo standing - a rare sight indeed! Giraffes are my favorites too, although when I was at the Philadelphia Zoo I saw the giraffes there do something really gross. So I'm not a huge fan of those giraffes!
I do enjoy a good Chinese buffet once in awhile, and that looks like a nice one. Those milkshakes look delicious! And nice work on your mashed potato "fail" - way better than I would do!
I'm excited to hear about Canada's Wonderland. I just saw it's one of the Cedar Fair parks, and we've enjoyed all of the Cedar Fair properties we've been to. They're certainly no Disney, but they always seem to have good roller coasters, are kept pretty clean, and usually decent service/workers. Better than our Six Flags experience at least. I'm actually thinking about writing a series of posts for my blog about other theme parks, for when you can't always visit Disney World.
It is definitely a bummer about their fast pass equivalent though. Super expensive and not even all the rides are included?! Ugh. We never buy it because it would be crazy for two of us, but in your case it totally makes sense. I just pray that Disney never ever goes that route.
I've been on a couple of those standing coasters, and they are unique, but not really a favorite of mine either. The first time I did one a couple of years ago my legs were on pins and needles afterward! We did one a couple of weeks ago in Virginia and my legs were fine that time - maybe due to actually have leg muscles now that I've become a runner
They had that same Backlot Stunt Coaster in Kings Dominion (where we just were a couple of weeks ago) and I also noticed the similarities to Rock n Roller Coaster. It was fun! I am glad that they theme their rides/areas and make it a theme park and not just an amusement park. I appreciate some good themeing! DH and someday want to buy the annual pass that gets you into all Cedar Fair parks and take a big road trip to hit up as many as possible. I imagine they share some similarities but we love roller coasters so I think it would be a fun thing to do!
What a lovely way to end your Disney trip. I've really enjoyed following along! And I would be sad that it's ending, but I know you have another trip coming up so I can look forward to another TR from you!
I finally made it back here only to find that the TR is over. But then I saw that you are leaving for another trip in 2 days! I do hope I will be able to follow along better on the next TR!
So I was somewhere around 40 (yes 40!) pages behind so I really can't comment on everything but here are a few random observations in no particular order.
I saw the Big Al mug when you posted it on Facebook and that same day I hopped on Ebay and got one for myself. So looking forward to meeting him in December so Disney better have him out for the Christmas Party this year!
I really enjoyed the Niagara Falls photos. The college I went to was only about 4 hours from there and we used to hop up for the weekend. I haven't been back since 1999 but it's amazing how much is the same!
If you really like A Cappella singing, check out the group Straight No Chaser (you may have already seen that in my TR where I've mentioned them at least a thousand times). I can't wait to see them in concert for the third time this December!
So cool that you had so many DIS meets on your trip! I'm sad that you are going next week and not when I will be there in October or December. Maybe someday our paths will cross! But until that time I'll be stalking your trips on Facebook. Have a wonderful, magical trip!
Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us! Your love for Disney and the sheer joy being there gives you is contagious, and makes trip reports like yours so much fun to read. When I first started reading along I had just changed my trip dates from Halloween to the first week of November and was kind of bummed. After a few of your updates I realized how much fun it's going to be in Disney for some of the holiday stuff and I'm so excited, so thank you for that too! So glad you had such an incredible trip.
I loved reading about your mini trip--I've never been to Canada (or Canadia either, for that matter!), so it was really cool to see all that! And how awesome that you made such good friends with someone off of a meeting like that! It says a lot about the type of person you must be. I hope to read another trip report by you in the future, because I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Have a blast on your upcoming trip (I guess in 2 days!) and safe travels!
I made myself take a DIS hiatus while I was getting back into "school mode," and I missed the ending!!!
Yeah, if you have an AP burning a hole in your pocket and that much time to spare, you've gotta hit a park!
UGHHHH I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKED THE CUPCAKE!!! It is so perfect. I missed it on my last trip in favor of an Anna cupcake but rest assured I will be back again to enjoy the red velvet.
What an awesome wrap up to one of the best TRs of all time. THANK YOU for taking the time to share these stories with us!!! Your writing and humor are unparalleled and as I've said many times over inspire me to write my own TRs. I hope your trip back to the World is absolutely magical and I can't wait to hear all about it!
You did it! You were able to stretch out your TR for us so we will not have to go too long before you start your next one! Each trip is unique, and while the one you have coming up may not be exactly the same, I know you will find new magical moments! Thank you so much for taking the time to do these reports. I literally laugh out loud! When I did the Safari at AK this week, and the CM said "There is a Cheetah next to 'that tree'" I was really hoping for Chester.
Safe travels from Canadia to Florida!
I... just. ((HUGS))
Your ending just about made me cry. Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us.
