jenseib Posted October 24, 2017 Author #352 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Here is the video I shot. It’s not great, especially since I was bending over trying to find a battery while shooting. LOL. The best steady segment is when Claire held the phone.LOL. We had a little girl behind us and every time it would change themes to a new character she would call out the name. She was so cute. happily162by Jenseib, on Flickr happily23by Jenseib, on Flickr happily24by Jenseib, on Flickr happily164by Jenseib, on Flickr happily26by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted October 24, 2017 Author #363 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Wow!!!! That was breath taking!!!! happily175by Jenseib, on Flickr I will admit, I wasn’t a huge Wishes fan. I liked it, but it was just not something we made an effort to see. Most times we watched it from a far or while on the go. This show, for me, was a zillion times better than Wishes. It totally blew my mind how great it was. For us, this is a must do now…and we will consider the dessert parties for sure in the future. In the past, I really had no desire to go to one of those parties, but we really enjoyed it and the location for seating for the fireworks. After the show, Claire and I were supposed to head to Peter Pan. I had made a fastpass for it while on Haunted Mansion. It was no longer showing up in the app…that’s weird. Oh well, we decided to just head off with Jeanne and Nick and met up with Emily and Kelsey. happily204by Jenseib, on Flickr We decided to end our night on the Peoplemover. happily205by Jenseib, on Flickr happily206by Jenseib, on Flickr The kids rode together and Jeanne and I rode together. happily207by Jenseib, on Flickr happily243by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenseib Posted October 24, 2017 Author #364 Share Posted October 24, 2017 happily244by Jenseib, on Flickr It was a nice relaxing ride. happily208by Jenseib, on Flickr happily209by Jenseib, on Flickr As we whizzed around I looked at my email. I had one from Disney telling me that Peter Pan had been down and I could use that fastpass for anything. UGH. I wish I had looked earilier. I KNEW I made one for it! LOL. As we came up near Space Mountain, we saw the lights were on! happily210by Jenseib, on Flickr You can’t tell by this picture, but the walls were filthy! Dust bunnies hanging all over the place. I tried to get a picture of the kids and sure enough just as I was to click their car took off fast and separated from us. LOL. happily253by Jenseib, on Flickr Some more shots of Space Mountain with the lights on. happily254by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahaha happily257by Jenseib, on Flickr happily258by Jenseib, on Flickr happily245by Jenseib, on Flickr As we got close to the end, the girls yelled to us to ask if we could go around again so they could take video of Space Moutian.

Sadly it was getting close to park closing time. I wish it had late hours tonight as we would have made use of them. We worked our way to the front.

jenseib Posted October 24, 2017 Author #367 Share Posted October 24, 2017 happily259by Jenseib, on Flickr I liked the fountain, so I took a few pictures. happily260by Jenseib, on Flickr Jeanne came up with the idea of getting the castle too….cool shot. happily261by Jenseib, on Flickr Boohooo! I don’t want to leave. happily262by Jenseib, on Flickr We said our final goodbyes and went to our bus stops! Our trip is almost over. We were not homesick at all and could easily do another week, but unfortunately our wallets (and husband) didn’t agree with that. We took the bus back to Music and headed back to the room. I played with the suitcases a bit to get them ready for to be checked in tomorrow. I kept moving things around to get the weight right but they seemed to be all under. Patty had told us the day before that her bags weighed over the 50lb limit when they checked theirs in with Southwest and she didn’t expect them to be. I wanted to be sure I had mine close but not over. And I was also trying to keep the carryons not overly heavy. After playing with the cases I went to bed. Tomorrow we would be heading home.

jenseib Posted October 25, 2017 Author #368 Share Posted October 25, 2017 July 10, 2017, Day15, Departure Day I can’t believe this trip of a life time is coming to an end! The time just flew by. I know people at home, namely Skip, were missing us, but we felt like we hadn’t been gone long at all. Claire is like me too…..she would have gladly stayed another 2 weeks. I got up and got ready and made my way to get something to eat. I let Claire sleep in a bit as I knew she needed it. music1by Jenseib, on Flickr music2by Jenseib, on Flickr I already had started picking at my muffin before I remembered to take a picture. music3by Jenseib, on Flickr I took it back to the room and ate it along with some water. We had a few bottles left yet and I was trying to get those drank up rather than tossing them. After that I decided I better take a walk around the resort and take some pictures. I had neglected to explore since we had been so busy…and tired. music4by Jenseib, on Flickr music5by Jenseib, on Flickr I also browsed the gift shop, feeling like I should buy something, but in the end I didn’t. I then headed back out and took a walk around the place. music6by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenseib Posted October 25, 2017 Author #374 Share Posted October 25, 2017 music37by Jenseib, on Flickr I went back to the room and got Claire up and ready. We then packed the rest in our bags, reweighed and did a little shuffling and then we took the checked bags up to the resort airline check in desk to get those on their way. They weighed them and 2 of the 3 were overweight. I knew then and there their scales were off. I had weighed mine with 2 scales and both had them about 2- 5 lbs or more underweight, yet they were coming up close to 5 lbs overweight. UGH! I opened the 2 that were under and took out a packing cube from each and they were then under. I have since heard others saying it seems that scales have been wrong lately too. I took the cubes back to the room and we put them in the carryons. We had room, but it did make them fuller and more heavy to deal with. We lounged around a bit and then headed back to the front to wait for Magical Depress. We passed by the gift shop and saw this cute quiz on the whiteboard outfront. music38by Jenseib, on Flickr We then found a spot in the shade and sat and waited for the bus. music39by Jenseib, on Flickr I am so happy we ended up changing our flight to later in the day. We got to get enough sleep andI was able to explore the resort a bit. We felt more relaxed for sure leaving at this time instead of buttcrack thirty in the morning. We got on the bus and made our way back to MCO…..BooHoo!!!! music40by Jenseib, on Flickr We passed the new terminal that is being built. I still don’t know much about it and what it is being used for. mco1by Jenseib, on Flickr We made the stop and I asked if it this was for A or Band the driver said everyone gets off here. In the past they always told us which airlines were at each stop and made a stop at both places. It’s been a while since I rode ME, so maybe that has changed. mco2by Jenseib, on Flickr We soaked up the last of the Florida sunshine and then went in and headed to the precheck TSA line. I had gotten global entry last year and it includes TSA precheck (though in some cases you could possibly be excluded, though it’s rare) and it is so wonderful. Claire can go through with me until she is 13 (which is coming up fast). Once she turns 13, I am going to get her at least precheck as well and possibly global entry since the price difference is minimal. Global Entry has already paid for itself as far as I am concerned. If you fly at least twice a year, I think it’s totally worth it. I have used it for 4 roundtrip flights already (and have 2 more round trip flights this year yet) since I have gotten it. Claire has done 2 of those round trip flights with me. It is good for 5 years, so I see myself using it many more times. It’s only $100, though you do need to schedule a meeting to get fingerprinted and interviewed, and right now, with the amount of times Claire and I have both used it, it has come to around $8.40 per use. By the end of this year, with my other scheduled flights it will then average about $6.25per use….and I have 3 ½ years left on it then still! Now the precheck line isn’t always short, but it is shorter usually than the regular lines and moves at a faster rate in most cases. We moved along and the TSA agents were shouting stuff, but it was hard to understand them. One in particular was yelling at people alot. We put our bags through and prayed we weren’t singled out because she was really touchy. She would tell people things like “come on! You are in the precheck line…you should know what to do by now”. And really, how does she know it’s not some ones first time coming through the line. And some people just get selected randomly to come through it.

jenseib Posted October 25, 2017 Author #375 Share Posted October 25, 2017 We waited for our bags to come through…and waited and waited. There was a guy who was getting the what for. He had a bottle of water in his bag and they kept putting his bag back and forth. The TSA officer kept asking him stuff and he wouldn’t answer. I think English was not his first language. He was holding up the line. Then the belt stopped and nothing would come through. They kept trying to fix it and were having issues. Basically someone had to put half their body inside to find a blazer stuck in the belt and that is why it wouldn’t go through….and you can guess who’s blazer it was…the man who had been having issues bringing water in his bag. Finally after that our bags came through and we were off. My theory is to treat these agents with as much kindness as possible and you will fare much better than playing stupid or getting snippy. We stopped off at McDonalds and got some lunch. While in line, someone commented on my Samantha Brown carry on. People always love them. mco3by Jenseib, on Flickr After we had our fill we headed off to our gate and took a seat. I was just staring off and I noticed this huge bug skittering across the floor. It was funny, because people walking would see it and jump over it. Eventually someone was brave enough to squash it. mco4by Jenseib, on Flickr We were called to line up and we saw our plane waiting for us. mco5by Jenseib, on Flickr And off we go. I am not remembering anything special about the actual flight as we left. mco7by Jenseib, on Flickr I did know that storms were predicted in Columbus. I had texted Amanda to let her know we had left on time. As we got to Columbus we were informed that it was storming badly and we would not be able to land for awhile. Of course our flight did not have wifi, so I couldn’t let Amanda know we would be landing late. I also tried to turn my data back on to see if I could text her….but no service this high up. We circled for an hour before we finally were able to land. Once we did and turned out phones back on, the text came in. Amanda said she had looked online and knew we would be late, so she didn’t rush to get us. The rain had been so bad she had to pull off the road for a bit till it let up. She still arrived early and was waiting at McDonalds parking lot. I told her we had landed and that we were told bags might take a bit since several flights just landed all in a row. I would let her know once the bags came through. We were in no rush. We exited the plane and used the restroom and then went to check on our luggage. Another flight’s was coming out currently, so we walked outside. The rain had stopped for the most part and the weather wasn’t too bad. After a bit we went back insideto see if our bags were coming, but not yet. We kept Amanda updated. Once our bags started coming in from our flight we gathered them and I had Claire sit at a bench outside the door and I brought them to her one by one to guard. We let Amanda know they were coming out so she could make her way towards us. I went back to fetch the last bag off the belt and the handle was broken! UGH! This was a brand new bag, used for the first time on this trip. I walked out to Claire and showed her the bag and complained a little bit. mco8by Jenseib, on Flickr And airline employee was out there and told me to take the bag in and show them to make a claim. I told her I would just do it at home and she told me it had to be done at the airport. I have always done it online in the past, but it was never this bad or obvious. Usually I notice a rip or something when I get home. I decided to go back in and see what could be done. It was hopping in this little room, with people looking for bags that didn’t make it in because of the storm….or they were on one flight but the bags were actually coming in on the next one due to some delays. One lady left her cell phone on the plane. When it was my turn the ladies were really nice and could see what my issue was. They had me fill out a form and took the bag. They would send it in for repairs. I was given 2 big duffles to carry everything in. I took another picture just to have a personal record and then transferred everything into the duffles. mco9by Jenseib, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
