Ralph and I dance at a studio that for the last 20 years has been peorformong each summer at Disney world, which means a group of approx 30 dancers, high school and up get son the big plan and heads down. I have only gone on this trip the past 3 years...The first year, while at Disney, we were awarded a "Mousecar" ( like an Oscar, but for Disney) Our director refused to get on the plan coming home untio he was postitive the award would be given its own seat!

Year 2: When we got back to the Orlando airport to fly home, the first group int he elevator when to the top level of the parking garage, instead of the airport. This group was mostly young girls inclusing 2 of the director's granddaughters. Everyone else went to the ticket counter. The girls' parents didn't seem the least bit concerned, went to the boarding gate, and blamed the girls for going the wrong way. Meanwhile they are paging the group from one area, we are paging them to another and no oneis hearing the other page. Finally, everyone was found and no one was left behind.

Year 3: The was out first trip after 9-11. Our director has always had a thing about being VERY early to the airport and he was so sure security was going to be sooooo mcuh tighter, we had to be in Detriot 4 hOURS before flight time. I kept saying, they are going to laugh at us!! Guess what? The flights aren't loaded into the ticketing computer until about 2 hours before flight....so we got to sit onthe hard floor for HOURS, so we could then ckech in and wait TWO MORE HOURS before boarding....at by then we could eat andmaybe more importantly get a drink!!!

What will happen year 4? I'll let you know in August!!!
