A few final pics from Arrival Day!

Of course I took a sign pic! I just didn't get to posting it right away Tongue. You can see checking in on a Thursday afternoon is pretty quick - no lines! And I love the food court - so festive!

Today was a low-key day, with a trip to DTD. Early to bed so we ca hit MK all refreshed tomorrow!

Thanks for all the trip wishes!

Yep! Though we are cathing the tail end of some cheerleader competition. But still, pretty light. We had the Haunted Mansion stretch room all to ourselves this morning!

Just stopped by to see. Gus and Dora. They seem to be adjusting, though they were quite happy to see us Smile. We stop by a few times a day since it's right by our resort.

It probably helps them to that they are both together. I always feel bad leaving my pup, because its just him. Luckily he has the cats, but I know its not the same for him.

I am thinking of nominating Jeff and Joe for sainthood and the Disney Medal of Honor for sharing their trip practically in real-time.

Jeff & Joe, you are doing all of us a great service. Those of us stuck at work and at home salute you!

BTW, while we are all enjoying your almost-live trip report, none of us want you to compromise your vacation for our sake. Having said that.... keep up the good work!

Help... what is the "TC" in POTC?
