Has it always been this way Len, or only since you started getting older? Remember, your family goes on a fairly regular basis right? so it's only a matter of time before you get back to see Minnie Mouse and all of her pals :D
I think the sadness stems from all the fun times we have on each and every vacation. I have found that as I have gotten older it has gotten worse. The worse thing is that for the past few years we went with the promise that we would be back again the following year. This year we all agreed that if things work out than Disney will be the place next summer. However, there are a lot of "IFs". I always fear that it might be the last time we go as a family as schedules have gotten tougher as Mark and I have gone on in our education. We really cherish these times we have together and the best part is that the memories we share from these will last a lifetime. Lastly, once we come home all the problems and issues that you had on your mind before come back to haunt you.

Sorry for depressing everybody! As for pictures, I am hoping to start getting some up by the end of the weekend. I have had a lot of stuff to take care of that has really limited my free time.

We will take the pictures whenever you get to them Len. I find it really sweet that you and your family are so close. It is great that you cherish these family trips together. I hope you can get a few more in and make some more memories :D

Our Len90 is growing up...

...but it doesn't mean the time you enjoy at WDW comes to an end. It grows and evolves. Maybe some time you will go their with good friends and enjoy the park in a new and different way. Eventually, you may even go with a GF, who could one day become a DW, and you will find yourself going with your own family. And you will experience enjoyment through your children as your parents have through you. Just because things will be changing in your life doesn't mean WDW won't still be there for you to enjoy. You gotta look on the bright side of life...

Mindflipper very true. However, it is not going to be exactly the same.

Amy: It really is great that we are close. It allows us to do all those funny things. I already have my fingers crossed that we can repeat this next year.

Wish luck to be on your side, Len. We look forward to another trip report - the real one.

I suspected Mark was carrying Len - I didn't know he actually doing it! :shock: :lol:

Oddly enough, didn't this come up already in the threads? :D

Yup, and now I can see why they wouldn't have been able to take photos over the wall in Fantasyland. They are only gaining a few inches over Mark's height this way.
On Mark's shoulders Len! That's the way to be extra tall and see over the wall!!

Have I ever lied before on this site? We were practicing for the Fantasyland wall lift and this was the best we could do. There was no way to get me onto his shoulders that would have been injury free. That did create a great picture though! I do like that family shot at O'hana. I believe that was before each of us gained 10 pounds from eating so much there. The airplane cockpit shot is taken WITH PERMISSION from the crew of our flight. They were nice enough to let us tour the cockpit while boarding the plane in Newark.

That is awesome that you got to tour the cockpit. I would never be brave enough to ask but I love to try to peek inside. We had a small puddle jumper on our last trip with only about 24 seats and an open cockpit so I spent the whole flight back staring at the pilots and all the instruments ~ it was fun :D
