Hey chief!! Thanks for the pic's. They're great & your family is just simply... beautiful!! Is dad ready for those girls to hit their teenage years, cause LOOK OUT!! They will have all the boys running after them!:thumbsup2 Of course it's lucky for them that they have a handsome brother to be their protector!

Your golf cart is very worthy, indeed!!

Glad you had a "magical" vacation!

Looks good to me.

I see you have a triple slide Sandpiper and an Ex. Is it diesel? How were your MPGs? I've found it best to keep the speed below 65 and use cruise control whenever possible. How do you roll?

yeah its diesel and we got 10 to 11 miles per gallon - so we get about 400 miles to a tank full! The total cost round trip in fuel was a little over $900.00!! As far as driving we pretty much do the same!! LOL

The closest we came to getting anything from the dream crew, was by the carousel, with the sword in the rock, Matt was waiting in line to give it a pull, and a little brat cut in front of him, and I wispered to him to let it go, some people are rude, and the little brat pulled it out, and the guy gave her and her family fast passes. :furious: RRR, wanted to slap that little punk right out of her crocs. :lmao:

Yep, the YOAMD dude has a little briefcase thingy with the control for the sword in it, and when he pushes the button, it comes up. Well he didn't see the little brat cut in front of Matt. So he pushed the button for her, and then wrote her a little certificate, and gave them the passes, I was so BLEEPING mad. The little brats family knew it too, and they just smiled at me like HA HA. I almost freaked out, but Erica made me leave. LOL

This is kinda like my luck. My boss goes to WDW for 5 days and gets a dream fastpass we are there for 2 weeks and get nothing. To top it all off he did not even use it he said there where no lines.:mad:
