*Final Thoughts*
Well, there you have it - I successfully finished my first trip report and even had a few consistent readers! It has been so much fun to relive all of the magical memories while writing this report and I can’t wait until I get the chance to do it again. My next 15 weeks will be quite busy with student teaching, but maybe I will take the time to finish the report that I started for our day trip to MK in December now that there are a few people who enjoyed reading my report! I will ad the link to what I had started in my signature in case anyone would like to get started. I will wrap this up with just a few final thoughts on the entire trip!
Overall, I can’t think of anything genuinely bad about the trip! I mean, coming home stinks, I would have liked to have done more at MK and I am sad I missed seeing the Stepsisters, but those are all pretty grasping in regards to negative things. It was hot, but we knew that was the case going into it.
On to the positive! I loved staying at OKW, in my opinion, there is definitely a little feel of favoritism towards the Vacation Club resorts. It will be hard to go back to a value or moderate after staying there! Although the guy we bought the points from told us to contact him if we ever wanted to do it again! It was also nice to be able to “relax” and just go with the flow. It was also really awesome to get to see my friend from home and visit the elusive CM store!
My post-Disney depression is decreasing, but still present. Between the Dis and Facebook groups I follow, Disney is always part of my day! The Facebook ads even know me so well they showed me a shirt I just couldn’t resist the other day. It says “Teacher By Day; Disney Princess By Night”...I got in last week and I LOVE it! I'm actually wearing it today, so I took a picture so everyone could see it!
I swear, whoever designed this shirt MUST know me!!!
The family that introduced us to the guy we got the points from just arrived home from their trip yesterday, so we've been able to spend the week living vicariously through them! They have 5 kids under the age of 10 and we are jokingly planning an adults only trip for next year in the fall...Halloween at Disney is on the top of my bucket list! While this trip is currently a good-mannered joke, part of me would absolutely LOVE for it to come true! We’ll just have to wait and see! I will for sure visit Disney during the fall season one day! Once I graduate and get a job (soon hopefully!), I will have to start a Disney fund for that! I could definitely see myself doing a solo trip one day, but I would really like to experience the fall season and a Halloween party with my family since we have done all of the other seasons together.
For now, I am all set to go back to reading and enjoying the trip reports of others. There are no planned trips in my near future, which consists of student teaching and hopefully finding a job quickly, but I can dream! In December, my mom and I will drive my grandma down to her winter home in Florida. It’s about 45 minutes away from Disney, so I typically manage to squeeze in a trip to DtD and the Character Warehouse at the Outlet Mall. Sometimes we also resort hop for fun!
Thank you to everyone who has followed along! I truly appreciate all of the kind words from those who have commented! I also greatly appreciate all of those who have lurked...judging by the view count for thread, there have been a few! I am a serial-lurker (I actually just commented on a TR for the first time a few weeks ago), so I just want you all to know that I appreciate that you took the time to look at my TR!
THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!
