OK, don't have a trip planned until 2014, so we'll be renewing our AP's soon, so I'm gonna try to see every attraction, holiday, and even that I can within that year. There are a few things I haven't done, but I'm gonna start over this weekend with a HUGE list, and cross things off as I go.

So.....Before I head to the park Saturday, I'm gonna introduce myself. I am a HUGE disney lover, and my favorite character is Tigger. :tigger: Moslty because he's always happy....and of course FUN FUN FUN!!! :lmao: And, that's pretty much me.

The cast will change and vary widely, I'm involved in a couple of FB groups that meet up every once in a while, I'll introduce them as they come into play. The most constant is my son Tyler. He's a HUGE Star Wars fan, and tolerates my Disney obsession. I keep telling him other kids would LOVE to be in his shoes, being able to go to Disney every weekend!!!!!

That's him with our just gotten black lab puppy Mollie! She comes into play sometime, as I have Muscular Dystrophy, and she's my mama dog!! She's helped me quite a bit, and we're trying to teach her to help me up from a chair. So far so good. So, sometimes I'm in a wheelchair at DW, sometimes I walk with these beautiful beauties that my lovely DH painted for me!!

So...here's me!!

This one was taken this year in May when our niece came down with her family, this is my great nephew Andrew, who decided his favorite spot was on my lap in my chair!! I didn't complain, of course!!

Then my wonderful hubby. He's a grumpy lover, not cause he's grumpy, but just because. Not sure how that got to be his favorite character, he might have been in a grumpy mood once, and I saw a shirt, and just took off with it. :rolleyes1 He is in the Coast Guard, and has been for almost 16 years!! We've been married for 14 of those 16 years, and it has been wonderful!! Love the life we built together!!! :hug:

There will be others that come and go, I have a 14 year old step daughter that comes with us from time to time, and her mother. They may come down for this weekend's visit. I meet other disboarders as they come and visit the world, so they'll be in here too. I really :lovestruc my disboard friends!!!

So, when we have a for sure park day for saturday, I'll post the info here!! All are welcome, and if anyone have any requests for pictures, let me know, I'll do my best to help!!

Well I'm going to jump in! This sounds intriguing!

:welcome: My first follower!!! I'm gonna start putting together a list, park by park, of everything there is to see at that park, at the current time. My body won't let me do a few things sometime, but I'll just take my pain pills and grin thru it. 2 attractions come to mind, Dinosaur, and Stitch. I'll get thru them, somehow!! :rotfl: I think the plan this weekend is to go to AK, and then MK with my step daughter and her mother....so those will be the ones I concentrate on first!! Again, glad you're with me, now my biggest challenge is to remember to take the camera with me!! :lmao:

This isn't an attraction, but more of a tidbit of history. there will be a small little hut, between Adventureland and Frontier Land. You have to walk passed POTC. the little hut/building used to sell E tickets when WDW opened. another one is over by the Tinkerbell shop, but I never found it

I love history too!!!! I barely remember using tickets for rides. My grandmother started taking us at least once a year around 1979, I was 5 years old. The hut by POTC is the shop that sells film, and the smaller souvies, right? I don't remember a hut by the Tinkerbell shop, but I'll look for a closet, or any thing that may resemble something old. I do remember the skyway, my grandmother griped at my sister for spitting off of it!!!

:welcome: We've had AP's this year too, and got real good use out of them, and made some real good friends from the Disboards here. Done lots of different things, and a few that I've never done for one reason or another!! I just want a different point of view for this next year, spice it up a bit for us. It's really nice to be able to go, ride one thing, or two, eat dinner, and then head home if it's too busy. Not feel like you wasted a whole day. In the warmer months, we eat dinner early, then head over after the afternoon thunder storms, and when it's cooler. So....now I have more of a purpose!! I got an older hidden Mickey book too, that I might pull out and see if I can find some more of the harder ones. That's always fun, and my Ds is REALLY good at spotting those!!

Hiya Christie

Came to check out "the quest" Sounds like a great time!! I will be in the World Sep 24th-Oct 3rd. Hanging with Kathy the first part of the week and Leanne the 2nd. WOuld love to see you and help with the "quest" Just let me know when :)

Hey!!!!!! Mary's here!!! :banana: It would be awesome to see you guys again!!! We do have a day planned with Leanne, I think the first, but not sure. Chris leaves for California that weekend, and wants to see everyone before he goes, so either that friday or saturday. I bet them girls are getting BIG!!! They do that very well don't they?

09-01-2011, 12:52 PM

YAAAAY!!! Let the quest begin!!! For September, here's the plans!!

This weekend, I have Kim and Sami coming down, we're meeting up with some other Dissers Saturday, Tink, and Kodakfigment, I hope, I think we're gonna be at MK. Sunday, we're heading to AK with our weekend visitors.

The weekend of the 10th is my friend Melody's birthday weekend, I just picked her ticket up from our AF base this morning, and we'll head somewhere in the World that Saturday. I'm trying to come up with a plan for her!! We've been best buds since preschool, in each other's weddings, all that stuff. She's a teacher south of Tampa.

The weekend of the 17th is my mom's 60th birthday weekend, so probably no Disney that weekend, unless I can escape!! We are planning a Universal day sometime while my sister is in town, she's a HUGE Harry Potter fan, and wants to go see that part.

After that, some others are coming into town, Mary, Leanne, and Kathy, so I'll try to squeeze myself into their plans somehow!! :lmao: Just so I see them, that'll make me happy!! And all the kiddos!! I bet they're getting BIG!!!

So....that's month one plans!!! If anyone else comes into town, let me know, and I can certainly pop over to see you, meet you, etc!! As I said before, some of my best friends I've met on the Disboards!!!

On another note, those who follow me closely, no news from the biopsy yet. I got a dr's appt in the morning for a pill refill, so I'll ask them to call down to the diagnostic center to see if anything has been heard yet. So thanks for all the prayers, thoughts, concerns, everything. I truly am blessed!! :lovestruc

On another board, I saw about eating different cupcakes around the world. Have you tried the carrot cake cupcake, or redvelvet, or the famed peanut butter and chocolate cupcake at Starring Rolls. Or could just add desserts around the world. Or candy around the world. That could keep you even busier!!

That is an awesome idea Tink!!!! I LOVE sweets!!!! we have had the red velvet cupcake, and the chocolate peanut butter one, when they had the vader one for SWW. I'm not a peanut butter fan, but that's an awesome Idea!!! January is mine and Julies' birthdays, 2 days apart, so we're gonna drink around the world, if we can get past Mexico!!! :lmao: We just love Cava!!!

My weekend was completely awesome, I got good news from the dr, that my lump biopsy was benign!!1 :woohoo: And my step daughter and her mom came down to help us with Disney on Saturday and Sunday.

They got here around 6ish Friday evening, we had grilled steaks and shrimp on the grill, and I got in the pool to clean it up. We ate dinner, and whoever needed a shower got one, and the alarm was set for 6 am!!!

I had planned to make and take a lunch for each of us, but we had another good fortune come down on us, and we got a long awaited for tax return, that was being held by the state for 6 months. Double WOOHOO!!! So, we decided not to bring lunch. Jenn couldn't meet us, she's one of us on the FL disboarders FB page, and she tried, but couldn't manage it. We got to the MK shortly after RD, so we missed the show. Bummer!!! I was walking this day, so I knew we'd be moving a little slow. We got on the resort monorail, the express one was was packed!!! Resort one was empty!!!

Here's me, Samantha and Tyler on the monorail.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011009.jpg

For the first ride, Sami wanted to do Stitch, and I just wanted to get that one over with on my quest, since I don't like that one too much.

So....I got Stitch outta the ways!! :cool1: After that we headed towards Space Mtn. I like that ride, but sometimes it can hurt me pretty bad. I had taken my first dose of pills before we left the house, so they were in full force in me, so I was ready to go!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011013.jpg

After that, we hung around in the Arcade to wait on Tink to join us! They said the couple they were meeting with was ON SM, so we would wait for everyone to get there. Once we were all together, we went to ride Buzz!!

I didn't get any pics on buzz!!! How in the world!!!???
After that we went to the TTA, there was a family in between my family and Michelle's family, and the family we just met was in the next car. So I did get a few pics!!

After TTA, we went towards HM. Realized thatTink hasn't seen the new que!! So, My gang minus Chris went thru that area, with Tink's family, and they LOVED it!! Anakin had the most fun I do believe! The other family went thru, and I didn't see them again after that.

After HM, we headed to eat, and Tink and them went a different way for food, we said we'd meet up later!! So, Sami wanted a taco salad, so Pecos Bills we went!!! After that, we were looking at the little crystal stand right outside of PotC, and was looking since my mom's 60th birthday is coming up soon. I found a couple cute things, but they were kinda expensive, so I decided to just look elsewhere. Kim and Sami noticed that the pirate tutorial was going on, so they went to see it, since they're HUGE Jack Sparrow fans!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011030.jpg

We then got in line to ride Pirates, and it was posted at 10 minutes, but it was wall to all people totally inside. There was a group that kept passing us, to get directly in front of us. It was starting to make us mad a little bit, but we just let it go. If they gotta be somewhere that important....just don't knock me down!!
After that we were in the store looking for stuff, the kids both had money, so they could get stuff, and I had to go POTTY!!! I went, and then came out, and Tink was ready to join us again after their lunch. I told her we were heading towards Splash and Thunder, and to meet us at Splash. Anakin likes that ride, and I told him when I first met him, that we'd get to ride together, and it happened!!! He's just way too cute!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011041.jpg

After Splash, we headed towards TMRR. Anakin didn't want to ride, neither did Chris or Kim, so it was me, Tyler, Sami and Tink's Hubby that rode. Always fun!!!

After that we said our goodbyes, Chris had rolled his ankle near HM, and was hurting a bit. So, I said ok, lets go shop, then head home. So we did! Kim and Sami sat out on the curb and watched the parade. We were done shopping after the parade, so we scooted out of the MK. It was a wonderful day!! Got a few rides in, and one of the dreaded ones completed, so SCORE!! After we left there, we went to a place in Cocoa Beach called Tokyo, it's a hibachi type japanese steak house, and ate and it was REALLY good!!! I wanted to go to Ron Jon, to look for some shirts for my mom, so we went. I did find a really nice one for her, and for my sister, and 2 for me, and one for DH!! So, we went home, and relaxed after a huge dinner, and talked about Sunday. So...that was Saturday in a nutshell. It was fun, the park was crowded, but we did get a couple things done. This is my favorite park, so anything we do, is awesome in my book!!!

Your picture of the picture got pretty good!! Anakin had a blast! Once again it was the best day ever! Goofy appreciated getting to go on Thunder Mt! He was going to ride the weekend before. Goofy and Grumpy had fast passes, but the attraction was closed when they went to ride.

You are braver than me. I have never gone on Stitch and have no intentions of going on it.

LOVE TM!!! That has been one of my favorites since childhood!! Glad Grumpy got to ride with us too, we had fun. Wait until you see the EE picture from AK!! My crew is too much for me to handle sometime!! LOL

Thanks!!! It was fun, we cut the day short because DH hurt his ankle, but we knew we were coming back for Sunday. It took me a long time to figure out how to take good pictures of the picture with my camera.

Stitch hurt my shoulders too, my stepdaughter told me to lean forward a bit, and the harness will be up quite a ways when it stops, then it won't hurt when you bounce. I did that, and it didn't hurt!! I'm just not fond of the whole experience, something got taken away when it was changed from the Alien Encounter. Now that scared the pants off ya!!!

Sunday we had AK planned, Kim just LOVES AK, mostly the Lion King show LOL So the alarm went off at 6, and I shut it right off!!! We did get up at about 8, got to the park at about 10:30. Not too shabby. Just didn't want anyone to be grouchy. I could hardly move this morning, so it was a chair day for me!! Chris helped me into the shower, and helped getting dressed. I really hate when he has to do that, it's just something I have to get over I guess.

So, we get to AK, and went to see what time FOLK was showing. We figured we'd try to hit the noon show. I knew Kendra, one of the Fl Disboarders was there, and was hoping that Kodakfigment was gonna be there too, so I sent them texts and then we decided where to go. Sami likes Dinosaur, and it's really rough on me, but, I had taken my pain pills before leaving home, and they were in full force, so I said LET'S DO IT!!! So, Me, DH and Sami rode, Tyler and Kim didn't want to. Kendra was eating at Yak and Yeti, and didn't know if she was gonna catch up to us for FOLK or not. DH got a good picture of the hanging dino's butt!!! LOL

And us on the ride, we're in the back row. I had a death grip on those handles!! And I dug my feet in to brace myself LOL Sami laughed at me!!!

So, after that, we figured we'd head over towards Camp Minnie Mickey. Kodakfigment was in the park, and would meet us over there. She did, and we went in to wait in the line, and was the 2nd wheelchair group to go in. We requested the Lion section, and was seated there. Got lots of pictures of the show for Kim and Sami, but I'll just post a couple of my fav's.

After that we went to eat at Restaurantosaurus, for the chicken nuggets. Ate, and then met up with Kendra and Kodakfigment, and they decided to head to MK. We had plans to head to DHS, and were headed to EE, so we said our goodbyes, then headed to EE.

After EE, we headed towards Kali. Last time we rode this with Sami, we got SOAKED. It was hot, so we figured, what the hey!!! And got in line.

Love the updates!!!!!! It looks like y'all had so much fun; I can't wait to come back down and see y'all. I haven't done KRR in so long, but I plan on riding it again in March! I guess the last time I rode it was in 2008 and we got so soaked I had to buy a shirt, Tyler had to buy some shoes, and Amanda had to buy a towel.................:lmao:. We didn't want to go back to the room to change.

LOL Dana!! It's feast or famine with that ride sometimes!! We didn't get it too bad, some were a little worse than others. I gotta update the HS part, before I go on Saturday. don't want to get behind on the updates LOL

Poor Chris is gonna be gone all of October, so I'll be asking the help of friends for that month. Sami's birthday is the 7th, so they're coming down that weekend and going again with us then. Got my bestest bud coming this weekend, we've been friends since we were 4, so I'm really looking forward to it with her!! Monday Tyler and I are heading over, since he has no school that day. Teacher inservice or something. That's fine by me, the crowds should be a bunch lower now that Labor day is over with!!

Gonna finish up DHS before I get too far behind in this!! Got a busy couple of weeks coming up, and don't want to fall behind!!

Anyways, after Kali, we were headed to DHS, I was texting Tink to let her know we were leaving, and then we ran into them!! Talked real quick, it always is like that when I'm in my chair. Chris pushes me so far forward, I can't see or hear ANYONE! Ah well!! We got to DHS, and headed straight for the LMA stunt show. Kim has never seen this show, so it was a real treat. Sami hasn't seen it since they added Lightning McQueen, so another treat!! The show was awesome as usual!!! Here's a few pics.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011109.jpg

Kim's face.....there's pure excitement and joy on that face!! I told her this was a really good pic of her, she looked so happy!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011117.jpg

Right after the show was over, the skies opened up and poured buckets on us!!! We ran for it, and got stuck at the backlot cantina under the ceiling there. We looked in the shop, and just hung out. Tyler got a Boba Fett helmet, and Sami loves him too, so we got some pics of that!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011119.jpg

We went over to the bar that's there, and got drinks, I got the rum runner, thanks Julie!! Love that drink now LOL Chris got a beer, and Kim got a strawberry daquri. It was ALL good!! The dude at the bar over did the dark rum floater a bit, it ended up being a shot and a half! So, I was doing ok after that drink, Kim drank half of hers, and me not wanting it to go to waste, finished it off :lmao: This was Sami while we were finishing our drinks. I had to get up and strech, so she kept my chair warm and dry LOL Was playing with her mom here I believe.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011120.jpg

After the drinks were done, we went and rode TSMM. The wheelchair line is usually really long for this one, but it's one of my favorites, and it wasn't too bad, so we got almost right on.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011121.jpg

He's such a goofball!!! After that, we were watching the time, cause we wanted to see Fantasmic. We headed that way, and rode Tower of Terror, and Rockn Roller Coaster, then got in to get seated for Fantasmic. We got there 30 minutes before the show, and were in the top with the chairs. We were DIRECTLY in the middle of the whole show!!! It was awesome!! Chris and I got this pic of us, and then my camera battery died. UG!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011125.jpg

Kim enjoyed the show, not as much as she hoped, but hey, it's one you gotta see once. She was hoping for more fireworks I think. After that, the park was closed, so we waited for the people to clear out a bit, before we left. And, then we went home!! Kim and Sami left the next morning, and we headed to the Brevard Zoo to check out the new ziplining thing they have there now. Chris and Tyler did that, and the had a blast!! I wish I could do it, I'd sooooooo be up there with them. Those pics are on Facebook, I think most everyone follows me on there. It was a blast!! Good labor day weekend!!!

This Saturday with my friend Melody coming, I know the last park we're gonna do is DHS, I made a dinner ressie for 50's prime time, so I wanna try to make the 4:30 stunt show again with her. So after that we'll go eat dinner. I'm wavering on the park we go to first, I may wait until she gets here to see what she wants to do. Her birthday is sunday, so I got her the military ticket, and we're gonna have some FUN!!! Look out DW, here we come!!!

I did want to try to walk tomorrow, but right now, I can't hardly move. I did want to get in the pool to clean it too, not feeling that either LOL So, we'll have to get up and leave by little bit before 7 to make our breakfast ADR, but it'll be worth it, I'll get MICKEY WAFFLES!!!!! I'm psyched!! I'm not sure Mel has ever been to a character meal before, so that'll be pretty cool. The camera is all charged up, AND, we got a new little play toy last night, a Sony Handycam video camera!! So, I'll have some videos!! :) SWEET!!

You are making me so hungry and I just ate. Eat a Mickey waffle for me, I love those things, oh yeah, and get a big ole glop of the breakfast lasagna for me too, that is the best stuff since sliced bread!!

Let's start out this part with a little background, my friend Melody and I have been friends since we were 4. We went to the same preschool, and Kindergarten place, our dads were good friends too. We played in the middle school and high school orchestra together, went to our prom together with a group of us, and did lots of other things together. We have a long history.

Sometime in July, she popped into my mind, and I never know why people all of a sudden pop in there, usually there's a reason, cause I'm weird like that :rolleyes1 So I called her, hadn't seen her in a little over a year, but we talk on FB and all that, so it wasn't NO contact. Found out her and her husband had separated in July. So, there's my reason that she popped into my head! Asked if she had plans for her birthday weekend, she said no, and we went from there. She's a teacher on the west coast of Fl, just south of Tampa, so she came over Friday night. I got the spare room all made up for her, and made lasagna. Here I am cooking!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday001.jpg

Goofy I know. My step mom made me that apron for Christmas one year. Don't wear it too often, but sometimes it comes in handy. I was in a good mood and ready to see my friend.

We ate dinner, and talked, Chris went to bed, and so did Tyler since we had to be out the door a little before 7 the next morning, but us girls talked. That's what we're good for! We did get up, and get out the door on time, and headed to MK for breakfast with my boyfriend!!

Our fuzzy butts LOVED Mel!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday002.jpg

So we got checked in, and seated within 5 minutes. It wasn't very crowded in the restaurant for it being 8:30. Soon the Characters started coming. We got Eeyore first, which is Mel's favorite!! He snuck up behind her, and none of us saw him until he was there!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday011.jpg

After breakfast, we ventured into Fantasyland. During breakfast, we were trying to come up with a plan for the day. I had a dinner ADR for 50's prime time, so I knew we'd END the day at DHS, but what to do that morning? I couldn't decide, so I asked Mel what she'd like to do.

The answer was simple!! When we were little, we did a trip to the MK with our Kindergarten class, and she wanted to ride with our teacher, and I guess me and my Disney excitement ran in front and got in with the teacher instead of Mel. This ride was DUMBO! She was heartbroken, so we rode together, and had a ball!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/th_Melodysbirthday140.jpg (http://s373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/?action=view&current=Melodysbirthday140.mp4)

That is our new playtoy we got the other night. It was nice, but the battery doesn't last too long. But, that's us together on Dumbo!

We also rode Snow White, and went to the shop at the end of the Pooh ride, and Mel got an Eeyore pillow pet. I showed her my Tigger, and she wanted one but in Eeyore, and we found it!!!

After that, we headed to AK. Mel wanted to see the Gorillas, so off we went. We got right on the safari ride, and I was afraid since it was almost 11 that none of the animals would be out, but they were!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday037.jpg

Now these guys were right beside the road, and a smaller one was IN the road!! He came up to our truck, and we sat there for like 20 minutes while this thing checked our tires, and chewed on some rope!! :lmao:

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday036.jpg

After we finally got off the safari, we hit the Pangini trails to see the Gorillas.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday043.jpg

We took our time, and saw everything on the trail. Once we got to the Gorillas, there was a big one sitting right by the glass, with his back to us.

He looked a little weird, like he was sitting on a stick. When he moved, I clearly saw that he took a poop!! Now....that wasn't the weirdest part, he walked a step away, turned around, picked it up, tore it in two, and then ATE IT!!! OMG I was :sick: Chris and Mel were laughing, but me, I was gagging, and trying to run away LOL

After that we headed over to ride EE. Rode that, and then headed towards the Exit. It was around 1:30. Chris took a video of EE!!

Hmmmm.... a new TR that's on page 4 and you didn't even mention it. Yes, you would think I would notice the link but really I am not that observant. I almost never check out the TR page anymore, I just read the ones I am suscribed to. For some reason I looked at it and there was a new TR with your name underneath. Yay!

I am happy I joined in just in time and got to see you at CP. I just love that restaurant especially for an early breakfast. It looks like you had a great morning catching up with your friend.

HEY!!!! Pink's here!!! :) Yea, I put the link on Facebook....WINK WINK :lmao: I am glad you're here. I got a few friends that are doing a continuous TR with annual passes, so I got that idea from them. With as much as we go, I thought, why can't we try to do EVERYTHING there?? So, that's what we're doing!! I'm including those we take, and meet up with and such. So if we meet up with you guys within the next year, I'll put you guys in here too!!! :) Glad you're here girlfriend!!!! :hug:

13 HOURS???? Girl, I don't think I have pulled a 13 hour day at Disney EVER, at least not without a nap break...:lmao:.

Yes!! Great time!! We didn't even realize it was that long until after dinner!! That's how much fun we were having!! I haven't done that long in any park in a very long time. Let alone WALKING!!

Left you guys hanging long enough, time to finish the day!!!

We left AK and headed to DHS. We wanted to hit the 4:30 showing of LMA. Chris just LOVES that show, and Mel hadn't seen it before. We got there early, so we had time to ride some rides. DH always has to go straight to TOT, so that's where we went. We yelped and hollered and had a grand ol time!! After that we went to RRC. Mel LOVED that ride too, she had been on it before, but it's been a while. My guys are always goofballs, and tried on the rocker hair at the end of RRC.

After that we had time to run to TSM. The handicapped part was backed up, but since I was walking, we didn't have to wait for the special car, we got right in. I got this of the guys across from us.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday072.jpg

Goofballs, pure goofballs!!! Mel had never been on this ride, and now it's her new favorite!!!! I love this ride too, but it does hurt the shoulder. But, I still do it!! :rolleyes1 I got some good pics waiting for bathroom breaks, and smoke breaks before heading to the LMA theater.

Waiting outside to go in...

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday077.jpg

I can't do stairs, so I was wondering how we were gonna avoid that, since there was a long line to get in. We go there soooooo much, we know quite a few of the guys and gals that work there, and the old guy George was outside, we asked him, and he said to use the ramp. Ramp?? They got a RAMP?? LOL We saw another buddy of ours Jim, and he took us to the right place, and we were in the front row!! :woohoo: AWESOME view of the show, once you got past the metal bar!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Melodysbirthday081.jpg

I LOVE that they added Lightning McQueen!!! Anyways, for the final part, most of you guys know that they pick a kid to trick with the remote car. Well....the lady goes to the SAME side all the time, behind the directors chairs that are in front of the control booth. Sit to the left of the control booth, and jump up and down, and you have a chance to have your kid get picked. The lady went up about 5 seats, found a spanish speaking kid, asked if he understood, and he didn't, so she declined him, and headed straight for Tyler!!!!! Chris got good pic of the screen while he was up there.

He was taller than everyone!! LOL He's in the grey shirt!!

He played it off really well when the trick came. We've been trying to get him picked forever!!! But, we're always in the nosebleed sections with my chair, and they don't go up that far. So, without the chair being on the right side of the seats paid off. Tyler only wanted the pin!!

After that, Tyler was on top of the world. We went to dinner at 50's prime time, and had a ball!! We had the same waitress that we had with Sylvia last year!! We liked her, so that was a good thing.

She gave Mel a glowing Tinkerbell and clipped it on her birthday button for her.

After that, we headed to the Great Movie Ride. Something slow to help our dinner settle. We had an AWESOME CM on that ride, and we were in the front row. Tyler was sitting right by the driver!! She is in the college program, so kinda young, and Tyler was flirting with her!! After the ride, she kept us aside to show us the harder hidden Mickey's in the loading area with a flashlight, and Tyler got a hug. My camera had run outta battery at that point, so I didn't get a pic of it, but it was cool!!! After that, we went BACK to TSM to ride again with Mel, and then one last run on RRC before we left to come home.

AWESOME, AWESOME day with my oldest and dearest friend!!! We'll both remember this day for a long time. I got her the military 4 day ticket, so she has 3 more days, and I hope she thinks of me when she uses them. She probably will.

Love the update :love::thumbsup2. How cool that Tyler got chosen at LMA. The look on his face is pure concentration. I often wonder how they determine who they will choose for stuff like that? Tyler was chosen one time to "pilot' the boat on the Jungle Cruise, I think he was like 11, so that was a while ago...............:lmao:.

We haven't eaten at 50's because I don't know that they have much Dale would eat. I may make an ADR there for our March trip and just tell Dale and Dallas that they are going to have to find something on the menu to eat :rolleyes1, I get so tired of eating pizza and hamburgers :headache:.

Oh, tell Chris that I love the new do.........:lmao::rotfl2:.

Thanks girl!! Yea, he's been jumping to do that for the pin for a long time!! I think our new worker buddy Jim put in a word for him, cause the lady picking the kid walked right to him after the hispanic kid. I felt bad for that kid too, we're there all the time, and that was just a once in a lifetime thing for a kid, cause it is so hard!!! There was some lady that recognized him afterwards and asked to take his picture. It was cool. Definitely something to remember!! I just wished the battery on the video camera wasn't dead!!

Oh, and a chocolate cake from publix. :lmao: yea, we're NOT gonna let this one go by without a few surprises thrown in there!! My mom's youngest sister and my sister live in Arizona, and they're flying in on Friday and staying with my Aunt Donna. Then, they're gonna go knock on mom's door on Saturday and surprise her.

Sorry, have gotten a little behind!! Taking a minute to update one day, then upload pics tomorrow too!!

So Tyler didn't have any school this past Monday, all the teachers had a workshop or something like that, so no school. I asked if anyone wanted to join us for the day, and Tink answered the call!! We got there a little early because of Anakin's appt, I wanted to get to MK at RD, but I wasn't feeling good the night before, and wanted to make sure I slept good. We got to MK at about 10:30, and hopped on the Monorail.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011002-1.jpg

We got to MK, and knew we wanted to head to Tom Sawyer Island before Tink showed up, so we hopped on the train, and headed to Frontierland. We were in the WAY back of the train.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011006-1.jpg

Once on TSI, we went thru the caves and over the barrel bridge. I had my meds in me, and was feeling pretty good for the day so far, so the bridge was ok for me for once!! Usually TSI is hard for me to get thru, but this day was ok.

Tyler wasn't feeling it like he usually does, and we found some chairs by the river, and sat for a little bit. I don't think he got his beauty sleep this day LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011021-1.jpg

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011022-1.jpg

After that, I got a text from Tink saying they were parking, so I figured I'd go towards the entrance to meet up with her. Told her we'd meet at Casey's and then go eat. I was getting kinda hungry by then too. Tyler was resting on the benches by the cartoons LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011027-1.jpg

While waiting, the CM that Anakin gave the sprinkles too was talking to me a little bit, it wasn't busy in the store at all. I found a bag with something someone purchased in it sitting on the shelf. I asked the CM if she knew it was there, and she didn't see it, and grabbed it and took it somewhere. When she got back, Tink was there, and Anakin was trading with her.

So we left there, and found Tiana's line open, so we got in line for it, and Tiana was really good with him. Anakin just loves the characters, and he has that personality that they love him too!!!!

We ate at Columbia Harbor House, Tyler got the chicken nuggets, and I got the fish. It was yummy, and it was nice to sit, eat and talk. And it was cool in there!! LOL After that Tyler woke up!! We went and rode HM. After that we headed to Tomorrowland, Tyler LOVES the shop there with the Star Wars stuff in it. He found Yoda, that kinda looked scary. He had to tickle all of us with his hair!! I got him a lego set in that store.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011028-1.jpg

After that we went to Buzz, and Anakin and Goofy showed us how it was done!! LOL This was my score!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011030-1.jpg

After that we got in line for C&D, and Anakin is just too cute. If I'm remembering him right, he wanted this pose, not the characters LOL I wanted a pic with them, so Tyler had my camera, got this one of Anakin, and then one of me.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011031-1.jpg

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011032-1.jpg

After that we went to ride the TTA Peoplemover, and it was nice. Only stopped once LOL

We got off that, and Buzz's line was closed, we went into the store real quick and a CM checked to see when Buzz was coming back out.

After that we headed to Space Mtn, where Tyler, Goofy and I rode. It was fun, and I'm sure Goofy appreciated that he didn't have to ride alone!!

After that, we played in the arcade for a little bit, and then Tyler wanted to hop to DHS to ride ToT and RRC, so we said our goodbyes, and headed out. On the way out, we found Push, I haven't seen him out in a while, so it was nice to see him again!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011034-1.jpg

We hopped to DHS to find the park about empty!! We headed straight for ToT, and this was the line!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011041-1.jpg

I asked them where all the people were, it was nice to be able to walk right into the first room!! We rode RRC, and got some ice cream. We headed out thru the stores, and Tyler thought I'd look good in this hat. I'm not sure I liked it tho LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011039-1.jpg

So, we headed home so I could make dinner and get Tyler ready for the school week.

Next up, we hit DHS friday night to see Jenn (disneyceliac) And give her some good cheer, since she needed cheering up. I'll try to update those pics tomorrow inbetween laundry loads, and before monday and our Universal day!! And I'll update my mom's surprise!!! Enjoy your saturday night everyone!!!!

We haven't seen Push out there in a very long time, so it was nice to see him again!!! Yea, I never see that line like that, there was no one until after that first room. You gotta do that ride once. It's not that bad, really. I don't like the sensation of falling, but DH drug me on there so much, it's grown on me. There's nothing else besides falling that I'm afraid of, I just don't like getting the crap beat outta me. That happened friday night on Star Tours!!! I'll update that night here in a bit, I hope LOL

Hi Christie, this is a great idea! We are over in Palm Bay and have been doing the same thing. We've got passes to the other parks too so have been going to Orlando on the weekend and just picking one to go to. Maybe I'll make a blog type thread as well. :D

We should meet up sometime since we're coming from close areas! :banana: I've been tring to cover every square inch of Disney while I can.

Hidee ho neighbor!!! Are you with us on the FB page too? We have a group over there, we post when we're going, so if others wanna join us, they can. PM me and I'll get ya on there.

It's fun having a distinct goal for the parks. When I'm there, it gets me thinking, OOOO I gotta go to THAT one, since I haven't done that yet LOL I did get this idea from a couple others on here, and it's been fun so far!! We're going to Islands of Adventure tomorrow since my sister is in town, she wants to see the HP stuff LOL

I cannot believe you saw PUSH!! We were looking for PUSH on our way to Space Mt. DH was checking out all the trash cans. Guess you didn't hear our conversation? He was trying to be discreet so ds couldn't hear him.

It's funny about the Buzz score. You were stopped right at that target that Anakin hit 10 times and got the 999999 score. I got 641,000 some, I hit that target 5 times.

Dale posed Anakin for the picture. He put his feet where they should go and his arms into position.

Great pics of you and Tyler!! It was a fun day!!

Nah, couldn't hear it, or just wasn't paying attention to it LOL I space out sometime :lmao: I couldn't hit that first one on the hand for NOTHING!! Those dang guns aren't honed in or something. Then again with a real gun I can't hit the broad side of a barn either!! LOL It was an awesome day!! I had a blast!!!

Oh man, it was awesome girl!!! She just yelled out "I KNEW IT" For a long time!!! It was a fun Monday with Tink, her little one is too cute!!! I got pics of my mom's birthday too, uploaded them earlier to photobucket, just gotta do the updating on here first. We got mom on video saying HOLY BLEEP on the camera too...a bad word where the bleep goes LOL It was funny!!! We all had a good time, and are heading to Islands of Adventure tomorrow.

Got a little bit of time on my hands, so it's updating time!!!

We met Jenn at DHS last week on Friday night, she needed a good Disney pick me up, and that's her favorite park....So it was a no brainer!!

My clan go there a little earlier than Jenn did, and we went straight for ToT!! I knew she didn't like that ride, so we got it out of the way first, and it's just something DH always does, is ToT first!! :lmao: Got these somewhere along the line, I think it was in line for ToT.

My baby is WAAAAY too tall!!! So we meet up with Jenn, and head off to ride RnRC. got off there, and headed towards TSMM, but got held up in the shops!! LOL the halloween stuff was out in full force, and us girls had a blast with it!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011004-2.jpg

Then, on the way to TSM, we ran into One Man's Dream. Tyler was tired....poor baby and wanted to sit for a little bit, so we watched the show.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011006-2.jpg

Got on TSM, I rode with Jenn. These were our scores!! i was red, she was blue!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011008-2.jpg

Yes, yes, I got beat!! HAHA DH ALWAYS gets the high score in car. He had 180,000 or something like that. After that we found another store!! That and pin trading was the theme for the night! Jen found LOTS of new pins!! Chris tried on a hat.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011012-2.jpg

Jenn got a CM with a 'mystery' trader on her lanyard, and she went for it!! This is what she got!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011016-2.jpg

It was pretty neat!!! we then went towards Star Tours, DH was ahead of me, and I got him being silly.....go figure!!! :rotfl2:

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011018-2.jpg

We got the flying droid thing, Yoda, Kashyyk, and Courisand. Jenn was chosen as the rebel spy!!!

After that we went to eat at Pizza Planet, and then went to the Great Movie Ride. I just love that ride. The guy was new, so there was a CM in the front, but the girl mugsy we got royally sucked. We made sure to let the CM in the front know about that. After that we went to the big hat store, for pins, then to guest services to renew my GAC. We traded some pins there too. Had a real nice CM there, and he was helpful. After that we headed home, since Saturday was my mom's 60th birthday, we figured we'd better get some sleep!!! LOL

Alright, got Ma's birthday stuff loaded, now just gotta update!!

As most of you guys know, my mom turned 60 last weekend, we went up there a little early, cause we knew my sister and my aunt were coming in from AZ, and she didn't know. My sister came in carrying the cake, ma got up off the couch, and yelled "I KNEW IT" Over, and over and over LOL It was funny!! After that excitement was over, we got around to opening presents and cards. She had a BUNCH of cards!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011023-2.jpg

then after all that, she opened her gifts, and my Aunt Donna go her a beautiful diamond and sapphire necklace, they named a brand name, but I didn't know what it was, I guess it was a good one, and it was all very real. When she found that out, she yelled out "OH $#!^" LOL we all laughed SOOO hard!! this is my lovely sister who hates pictures, and we NEVER get a good one of her!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011029-2.jpg

I am gonna finish up Universal day here, I stopped taking pictures after a while cause I was just hurting quite a bit.

So, I left off at FJ, the first time. We went to eat at Burger Digs after that. FJ made my sister a little queasy. So, we ate, and they all decided to go BACK to WWHP, and hit up FJ again!! So, we did! It was cool again the second time. After that we headed towards Dragon Challenge, Tyler chose the blue side, so off we went. There was 6 of us, my great aunt and my cousin sat this one out. My mom was in front of us, all we heard before we took off was "does this thing go upside down?" And then a chourus of YES coming for Tyler, me and Chris....then another "OH $#!^" out of my mom's mouth!! We laughed our butts off!!! So we rode, and they enjoyed, and then Tyler, Aunt Donna, Chris and Tina went on the other side, the Red side, and they were in the front row!!! I didn't want to walk the mile and a half you gotta go thru to get to the loading area!! LOL I got myself and my mom a frozen butterbeer, and it was REALLY good!! My first butterbeer.

After that we went to watch the Voyage of Sinbad to try to cool off a bit. We watched, they liked, and it was fun. After that we headed to Posideon, and got caught at a shift change for 30minutes!! I was standing in the line....and at that point, I was spent. We finally got in there, then got out, and my sister was seeing how bad off I am. I got a few pics in line for Posideon.

No, my sister does not like to pose nicely for pictures!!!

Once we were finally outta there, Ma, my great Aunt and my cousin headed to the bar. We wanted Tina to ride the Hulk, Dr Doom, and Spiderman, so that's what we did, in that order. We found those that were at the bar at about 5, the park closed at 6, so we figured some shopping was in order.

Once we left there, Chris surprised me and took me to Red Lobster!! It was GOOOOOD!!!!!!

Tuesday I rested, I think we all did. Wednesday we played cards and Aunt Charlie made crab cakes. Thursday we went to ma's, and we went thru old pictures. Talk about a culture shock!! There were some old ones of WDW in there too, I got some of them, but need to scan them in.

Overall Ma's birthday was a very fun one, she had an awesome week, and I think I need a week to recouperate!! LOL

Yesterday I just wanted my guys, so the 3 of us went to WDW, I'll upload them pics soon, maybe tonight so I can post that update. This week, LEANNE COMES!!!!! Hopefully I can find Mary somewhere too....I think Leanne said MK on Thursday, so I'm gonna try to meet her there, and somewhere friday night. Saturday is Jenn's birthday. She wants to hit ALL 4 parks on one day!! God help us!!

Plus, one last thing, I found out that when you renew the FL resident passes with the payment plan, there's NO down payment!! SCORE!!! We are gonna upgrade to the PAP on Saturday!! WOOHOO!!!!! :woohoo:

So, off we went to DHS. With the previous week being hectic at my moms a bunch, and sitting in very uncomfortable chairs playing cards, I was in my chair. Hated it, but what can ya do? So, DHS, where did we go first......???? TOT Of course!!! It's our ritual. The line wasn't too bad, so we rode, and got a good one, and then headed to RnRC. Got one of tyler in there.

We rode the GMR, and then went to eat at the commissary before heading to see our good pals at LMA. Can you tell what are fav's are by now?? LOL

I got this pic at lunch. They had cheeseburgers and I had the fish.

Totally love my guys!!!! So, we headed to LMA, saw our good friend Jim, but didn't get our normal seat. SHEESH!!! LOL We were maybe 8 feet to the left of our normal seat!!

After that we headed out towards Epcot. Haven't been to Epcot since starting this quest, so all these are new to this report!! We got there, and SSE was walk on, so we got on. The guys played a bit after we were done with the ride.

then we sat in the cars, and dreamed LOL Then headed towards Soarin.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011031-3.jpg

We figured it's the film, not the projectors that is dirty on there. After we got off there, we headed to Living with the Land. I elected to stay in my seat, so they just wheeled me on!!

once we got off that, we decided to hop. So, we headed to MK!!

We got there, and headed to Cosmic Rays to eat. I was wanting the chicken with mashed taters and green beans, so me and Chris got that!! After we ate, we headed to Winne the Pooh!! :) Our girl wasn't working, which was a bummer.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011063-2.jpg

We got off there and headed to HM. Rode that, and then decided to call it a night. Looked like storms were rolling in, and we have to drive home thru that, and we wanted to beat the wishes crowd out. It was just before 8pm.

Awesome day with my guys!!!! I had the best time, we were silly, and just plain had fun. Next up I believe is Friday night with Leanne!!!! Then Saturday, 4 parks in one day.....can we do it!?

what a great time with your mom! you family really resembles each other. 4 parks, huh- how ambitious!

Thanks!! Yea, we do. The one night we were going thru old pictures, we had a hard time telling who people were, because a few of them looked alike when they were young. I do resemble my mom and Aunt Donna quite a bit, and unfortunately that's the MD in us all. But hey, that's what makes us unique, right??

Yep, 4 parks. Right now there's 5 of us. she's got a pretty agressive plan, just hitting a few things at each park that she likes, and ending with the special wishes at MK saturday night. I hope they aren't sold outta the cupcakes by then!! I want to see them, maybe even try one LOL I'll have my camera, and of course post pictures. Gotta take DH to the airport, he's got a month long class out there that he needs so he can take the test to advance to the next rank. that would be SUPER nice!! LOL Then he can retire here instead of commuting on the weekends!!

I remember the pictures of your sister from your trip staying at the Cabins, and she was making faces in all of them too :lmao:.

Isn't it always fun to spend time with just the guys? That is how it is at my house now that Amanda has moved out. I am the only female in my house, heck, even the dog is a male.........:lmao:.

Re: Universal -- I could ride FJ over and over and over again. Johnny and I were the only two who wanted to though! So we got on it twice. I screamed a bit on dueling dragons too! Hahaha, and since I thought the Hulk was even worse I didn't try it. DH told me later that it was easier than DD!
Re: DHS -- what an adorable dress on Minnie!
Re: Epcot -- Ahhh my favourite park. I was a little disappointed at the dirty film on Soarin', but the others with me didn't even notice it.
Re: MK -- I didn't get to do Pooh with the new queue, it was too long a line and no one wanted to wait, hahaha.

Now another strong front is coming thru.....so the stiffness and soreness are back!!!

Ohhh yikes, put your camera in a bag of rice! It will draw the water out of it. You can take your battery out too (if it's a square lithium type) and put it in its own bag of rice, your battery is really one of the worst things when it gets wet. Hope it still works for you!

YAAAY!!! Finally an update with the evening with Leanne!!

they were at Epcot, so we headed there when we got Tyler from school. This was Friday Sept 30th. We got there a little early, and hung out, played the Piggy Bank game in Innoventions.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011004-4.jpg

We headed towards the Land when we found out they were just getting off of Soarin, so we sat and waited at the exit. I knew they had to go pick up their race packets, but Joe's mom and Lindsey were hanging back in the park. Lindsey was the one that found me!! I turned my head, and there she was, right in my face!!! It was cute!! Joe's mom was really nice, and she was on an ECV. It was her first trip to Disney. they wanted to visit the world showcase, so off we went. Stopped in Canada, didn't watch the movie, but looked in the shop. Chris found some moose stuff LOL

Tyler didn't want a part of this, but got Lindsey and Chris at the face board thingie.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011011-1.jpg

We took our time in England, the kids decided to color, and I wanted to see my boyfriend!!! There was no line for him!!!

Finally got around to Norway, and asked if they wanted to go on Maelstrom. Of course they did :)

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011017-4.jpg

After that Joe and Leanne were back, so we waited for them to meet us. After that we all headed to Test track! I got Josie as we were driving by.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011018-4.jpg

After that we were discussing Mission Space, and none of them had rode the orange side. WHAT??? So, Joe was intrigued, and we got him on there!!! But, we get all the way to the stage outside of the capsule, and waited, and waited. Joe from the other side said "clean up on isle 3" So we all cracked up, and come to find out, they did have to clean up a "spill" Chris had been drinking a little, so he wasn't sure he wasn't gonna get sick. Joe says he's a sympathetic puker, and of course so am I, so we're laughing at that. Joe stuck his head in our capsule, no smells of cleaning solution, so not our capsule. thank GOD!!! Got a pic of Joe, and the CM photobombed me!!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011020-2.jpg

After that, we headed over towards finding nemo. Tyler loves the grass at Epcot, and takes advantage of anytime he can get a picture on it!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011022-2.jpg

We rode nemo, then they headed towards Germany for their dinner, we ate at the Seasons in the Land. It was good. We had never eaten there before.

After everyone's dinner, there was a meet up for other dissers in England, at 8. So we headed that way. This was the first night of F&W, so the place was PACKED!!! There were quite a few dissers there, I only knew Leanne, and Mary. Was good to see Mary!!! We had to be back at the parks early for Jenn's birthday fun that next morning, so we tried to get out before 8:30. Didn't happen!! Chris and Joe were talking like a couple of women!!!! Lindsey and Tyler were playing and having fun, so I sat and talked with Joe's mom. Got a couple of pics of the guys and kids.

You want me to get them and mail them to you? I can certainly do that for ya!! the photobomb was funny, he was one of the guys outside while we were cracking up about the "clean up" Tyler was literally on the floor laughing!!

Both my guys LOVE epcot's grass. I have no clue what it is about that grass!!! It's comical some days to watch, and others, it's like, come on....not again!!!

Josie's birthday was a few days before they came down to WDW, so that's why she got the BBB treatment. I think Lindsey is getting too old for it :rolleyes1

She's holding the blow up Space Shuttle we got for both of the girls, since we're a stone's throw from where the Shuttles USED to take off from LOL I thought it would be nice to give them something from where we're from. Awesome family tho, sooooo glad the Disboards brought us together!!!

That's so sweet and thank you, but I think I'll leave it as something to look forward to for my next trip! Hahaha, I'll make Epcot my first stop and get the ears!
I think for me the grass is so appealing because when I'm home there's grass everywhere, but almost nowhere else in Disney. :confused3 Hahaha maybe?

I have been bad and not updating much LOL Sorry!!!!

Next up was our Oct 1st day for Jenn's birthday!! She wanted to do ALL 4 parks in one day. Had a few things picked out at each. We started out the day by us picking Jenn up, so she could drink LOL And headed to AK. She wanted to do FOLK, and Dinosaur at this park.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Jennsbirthday001.jpg

That was Her shirt she made for herself. It was way cute!! Kodakfigment met us also, with her hubby, so there was 6 of us!! We watched the FOLK, the first show, and the show was AWESOME!!! There's something about that first show of the day, the performers have SOOOO much energy!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Jennsbirthday012.jpg

They went to Dino next, they rode, I didn't, since it beats me up. I did it once for this quest, so I pass on it, especially at the beginning of a long day like this one was!!!

After that we headed to EE. My DH couldn't go to AK without going to EE!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Jennsbirthday022.jpg

Julie and Alan didn't ride, for the same reasons as mine were for Dinosaur LOL Jenn ALWAYS has a great pic on this ride!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Jennsbirthday023.jpg

After that we hopped to DHS. The birthday girl wanted to do Indiana Jones, TSM and RnRC.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Jennsbirthday032.jpg

After those 2, we went to eat. Jenn had the turkey leg, I had a hot dog with bbq pork and slaw on it. It was REALLY Yummy!!! Jenn enjoyed the turkey leg too!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Jennsbirthday045.jpg

After lunch, Chris and Tyler headed for ToT while us girls were still eating, but the ride broke, and they were stuck inside forever!!! So, Jenn and I went to ride RnRC, so we stayed on our time frame. After that we hopped to Epcot, and rode soarin. Didn't take many pictures at that park. After Soarin, we headed to Club Cool, and then out of the park. We stopped at the Poly for drinks. Jenn wanted to try the Lapu Lapu, so ALL of us girls had one!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Jennsbirthday051.jpg

We had one more drink, then headed to MK. we went to eat at CHH, and it was yummy as always!! Leanne popped in to meet us for a minute too, and after that we went to scope out a spot for the fireworks. This was the anniversary day, and they were supposed to have special ones. I did get a pic of Jenn coming into the park. She was yelling "ALL 4 BABY!! WE DID IT"

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Jennsbirthday060.jpg

And for some reason, I didn't take many more pictures, but I did video the wishes, sorry for griping at my child thru it, I was in my chair, and he kept hitting my chair making my arms shake!! :headache:

After that, we went and rode Space Mtn. Chris didn't wanna go, and I don't think Julie went either. After that we decided to call it a night, and the line getting on to the ferry and the monorail was BAD!!! Took us an HOUR to get from MK side, to the TTC. This was such a fun day with great friends!!! Mine and Julie's birthdays are close, so we're planning some fun for us too :) Not to this caliber, but fun none the less!!!

Next up, Sami's 15th birthday weekend!!!!

we are gonna be seriously stepping up this quest, cause there may be some news in our future that will change our lives!!! So, will do the big reveal when I get more info, so this weekend, we're gonna hit up AK, as much as we can, and then maybe head over to MK. gotta get ONE of these parks done before the holidays!!! YIKES!! Now that I have tyler's camera running, I can take more pictures. My camera died on Sami's birthday weekend with the rain. It has NOT come back to life. BOOHOO!!! Anyways, I'll update tomorrow afternoon, I promise!!!

Ok, put this one off long enough. Sami's birthday weekend was the second weekend in October. Her grandma got us a timeshare at the Fountains resort on I drive, not too far from the parks, we all had AP's, and Sami had a friend come up from Coral Springs for the second day, so it was fun. We started out the trip going to MNSSHP on Thursday evening. That part was super fun, the kids got LOTS of candy, and we even saw the wacky Mad Hatter!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Samisbirthday027.jpg

The next morning, we had her friend get dropped off at the resort, and we headed to DHS. Sami's friend was scared of rides, but would do them. Jess's mom wanted pictures of her on the big rides LOL So, I got them!!

We even saw the Lights, Action, Motors show!!

This night, we went back to the room, and got KFC for dinner, and figured we'd start out early the next day. Rain was expected, so that kinda put a damper on things.

Saturday. Rain. UG!! I went to Walmart early, got us all rain suits, with the pants and stuff, and off to AK we went!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Samisbirthday103.jpg

We saw the first Lion King show, went on the Safari,

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Samisbirthday144.jpg

And then we headed back to the room, to dry off, and get warm before heading back out to MK later that night. I didn't get ANY pics at MK, since after Ak my camera was FULL of water. I have since tossed it, cause I couldn't dry it out. We rode a few things, had some issues, and headed back to the room. Tyler had one of his outbursts on the way out that wasn't pretty, so we went back to the room, and I put his butt to bed.

Sunday, Tyler just wanted to go home. I'm guessing he was embarrassed about his outburst, so Kim and the girls went to the outlet store, and I packed up my car. After they got back, Tyler and I left and came home. The doggies were sure happy to see me!!!

11-29-2011, 07:29 AM

These next few visits, I didn't have the camera for, so I'll just tell the story.

The middle of Oct, the friday after Sami's weekend, I met Julie for some girl time. We visited the F&W fest. I had a shrimp pasta thing and an alcoholic drink in China, a pumpkin mousse in US, and a tropical drink in Japan. ALL was yummy!!! We had a good time walking the WS, after that we rode Imagination, Soarin and Capt. EO. Always a fun day with Julie!!!

That saturday, since DH was still in school, Tyler and I headed over to DHS, and AK. We rode ToT, and RRC, then went towards Star Tours, so he could get a toy. He didn't want to go to MK, cause of his blow up. After DHS, we headed to AK, I got the Simba Mickey ears, they're just tooooo cute!!! We rode EE, and then headed towards McD's right outside the park, then headed home.

I hooked up with Jenn on the 18th, for Sugar Ray. I got a couple pics on my phone, again, no camera. He did an awesome show!!! We had a blast. then walked F&W, I got the chocolate drink from Belguim, and a Grand Marnier and Ice Cream near canada at the champagne booth. Again, both VERY good!! We rode Soarin, then called it a night, since it was a school night.

After that night, I went thru Tyler's room and found his camera!!! So, for after Sugar Ray, I had a camera!! :banana:

11-29-2011, 08:00 AM

Next up, I was bound and determined to get Tyler back into the MK, he seems to shy away from things that upset him, or scared him. It's why he never rides Imagination in Epcot, it scared him when he was 9, so he refuses. Asbergers is NOT a good thing sometimes!!!

So, that following Sat the 22nd, we headed to MK!!! It was PACKED!! We couldn't understand why, but we went with the flow. We headed back towards the liberty boat, and just missed it, so we rode HM, then got in line for the LB. We took that around in a circle, and had some fun with it!!

After that it was just too darn crowded, since I was walking, I didn't wanna get run over, so we hopped to DHS. We rode ToT, and went towards Star Tours.

We headed back to MK, rode the train over to Frontierland, to eat at Pecos Bills. Kendra was supposed to head to MK, so we were kinda waiting on her. We ate, then headed towards tomorrowland.

Kendra said it was too crowded, so she watched wishes and headed out. After we got that word, we headed out too. Was a long day all around for both of us, but it was fun!!!

The next trip was on the 25th to see Boyz II Men. Julie met up with Tyler and I to go see the concert. It was AWESOME!! We all got there early, and rode TT. Tyler ALWAYS has to get a picture in a car when we ride that!!

He usually goes around to all of the cars, and sits in each one. Somtimes it can be a pain, cause I just wanna move on, but, to keep him from getting grouchy, I indulge him.

After that we went and had Chicken nuggets in America before the concert. Then, we got a seat. The concert was AWESOME!!! I loved these guys in High School, so this brought out a bunch of memories!

Wasn't supposed to, but i snuck in a little video of them. We were a little far away, but the sound was still good. Tyler didn't like the fact that I was breaking the rules, and told me so, a bunch LOL

So, I really enjoyed the concerts this year, we went to 3 others that are coming up soon!!! :)

That following Saturday, I was over at DW somewhere with Tyler, but forgot where we went, and I didn't have the camera. I think we went to MK, but not totally sure. I need to update more often so I don't forget LOL

On Nov 5th, we headed to MK to wait for Chris's flight to arrive. He came in at 11pm. UG!! So I didn't want to sit home. We got to mk at about 7, rode SM, had an ice cream sandwich, and rode a few things in fantasyland before heading out to the airport!! Chris took off the whole week after he got home, I was super excited!!!!

I'm finishing up catching up, sorry for all the updates, but had some time on my hands, and figured it was time. We do have some news, which will come in another update, and I got a power chair!!!! I'll update that soon too. gotta take my old guy around, and these videos are gonna take a while to update in photobucket! Enjoy these updates in the mean time!!

11-29-2011, 03:49 PM

So the sunday after Chris gets home, we went and saw Night Ranger. They were really cool!!! Them old dudes could still rock!! Go figure I forgot the camera!! I wanted to get them on video too, but didn't know if there was gonna be an announcement like Boyz II Men had that there was no video, but they were the only one, out of all the concerts we saw that had that rule. Go figure LOL So, on the night of the 8th of Nov, we went BACK to Epcot to see Air Supply. I REMEMBERED THE CAMERA!!!!! And, lucky enough too. The guys came into the audience, and the main singer Kissed me!!! I got a video, but photobucket won't let me upload it, cause it's over 10 minutes. Bummer, it's a good one LOL Anyways, here's some shots of the guys!!

Once I figure out how to edit the video, I'll post it. I can get it below 10 minutes if I edit it, I think LOL This night, we went to the concert, and then left, since again, school night.

2 nights later, we went BACK and saw Richard Marx. And, we could stay a little later, cause it was the night before Veterans Day. He was awesome too!! We parked at DHS, and took the boat over thru Int. gateway. After we got back to DHS, we decided to head back home, since we were coming back the next day. I may have gotten something of Richard Marx, let me see....here's one!!

11-29-2011, 04:12 PM

Wouldn't you know it I forgot the camera on veterans day!!! We headed to Disney Quest, played a few things there, then decided to go check out the Boardwalk. We weren't there to eat, it was cool, and not too much going on. We were kinda dissappointed. The best thing we saw was a magician, and he did a good job. We stayed there and watched him for a while. Chris likes to dabble in magic, so this was a good treat for him. After that, we headed home, cause we were tired.

Now, that following week, Chris found out that he's gonna have to be restationed. :headache: I had a hard time keeping up with the house while he was gone for a month, so we have decided to move with him this time. We do not know just yet WHERE, but will let ya'll know when the time comes.

So, with that news, the 19th of Nov, I decided since we're moving in June, I better step up on this quest, so we decided to work on AK some. Julie met us there, but we got in the Crustatious Trail, and Primeval Spin before she met up with us. The trail, pretty boring. A few dino tidbits, and small hidden dino's, and that's it. We didn't see the hype, but, we got to cross it off the list!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011025-3.jpg

Before this day, I did a little Christmas shopping, and found this guy at Toys R Us. I just HAD to have him, and I brought him home, and the mini helmet we have fits him!! He came with a rolled up blanket, and was pretty neat.

Here's PW, this ride stopped suddenly at the top, and it banged my shoulder and HURT!! Whoa did it hurt!! Let me cross this one off my list of to do rides!! LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011032-4.jpg

After that, we headed to see the Nemo show. I like this show, but Lion King is much better!! In this one, you can't get very good pictures since you can't use a flash, and with the chair, we're always sitting up high. But, good show as always!! After that, we headed towards the Maharanja Trek to see the Tigers. It was a cool day, so they were out and about!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011050-2.jpg

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011052-1.jpg

Love the tigers!! After that, we had just enough time to go see Flights of Wonder. We had never seen this show, and it was really cool!! We enjoyed it quite a bit!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011082-1.jpg

After that we had lunch. We brought our own sandwiches, and they were GOOD!! After lunch, we parted ways with Julie, she had to go home to take care of a sick hubby. :sick: So, we wandered, and then decided to see It's Tough to be a Bug. Then we went the back way behind the show.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011095-1.jpg

Then it was potty break time, I always hop out of my chair and walk in. It's easier that way not to have to worry about the chair, and people, so Chris waited for me :)

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011100.jpg

After that I believe we went home. I don't have anymore pics of this day, I think we were tired and just wanted to go home LOL

Next up, what surprise did I have in store for me?? And Thanksgiving weekend....whoa!! :scared1:

bouncycat

11-29-2011, 04:23 PM

Almost all caught up!!! So, before Thanksgiving, I drive an old guy around, I never ask him for anything, and he always surprises me!! First with an Ipad, and then on the 22nd, this...

http://www.invacare.com/images/flash/ATm/atm.html

It's just like that one, only red. My Fav color!! He got it used, but it's still in great condition, has an extra battery, and extra set of tires, so I'm all set!!! That afternoon, I went up and picked up Sami. She was with us for the thanksgiving weekend!! I made deviled eggs, Chris made fudge, and the meal on Thursday was AWESOME as usual!!! My family is NEVER a bore!!

Sami wanted to go to Disney while she was with us, so I hashed out a plan for all 4 parks in 2 days. YIKES!! So, I figured we'd try out my new chair. We headed to DHS first, rode ToT, RnRC, TSM, ST, GMR and saw the stunt show.

They had a LMA black car out front, for a close up look, and of course Chris had to look!! LOL

Gotta love siblings!! LOL After DHS, we headed to Epcot. We stayed in FW, and rode TT, MS orange, Soarin, Living with the Land, Nemo, Capt EO, and wandered the aquarium.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011110-1.jpg

11-29-2011, 04:41 PM

Last one, then I'm caught up!!!!

Saturday we did AK first, then MK. We got to the park at about 11. Went straight to Flights of Wonder, to get a better view, and Sami hadn't seen it yet.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011117-1.jpg

The show was awesome as usual!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011140.jpg

After that we hopped to MK. Headed towards Buzz first, then Space, then we ate, and then rode Pooh, Snow White, Philhar Magic, HM, TM and then Pirates. We wanted to take off before we got stuck by the parade, so we headed out about 8:30. All in all good 2 days, we hit Sami's favorites, so all was well. The kids were well behaved, and no issues, and my chair was AWESOME!! I took HALF the pain pills I usually do when I'm walking, or in the manual chair, and I only ran over one person, and he deserved it!! LOL Next up for us, this Friday, we have friends from Jax coming down, they've been down before, so we'll go see them, not sure if we're entering a park or not on Friday with them, but we will for sure on Saturday. Jenn is probably gonna join us too! Not sure what parks, but it doesn't really matter. After that, I GOTTA step up this quest, if I wanna get things done by the time we move!!!!!

bouncycat

12-07-2011, 10:57 AM

Well, plans always change!! We ended up meeting our friends in St Augustine for the day, and man, we hit it at an awesome time of year!! Cathy's hubby is retired Navy, his son is active Navy, and of course we're CG, so we got into everything for FREE!!!! We parked in the parking garage, top level of course, and watched the parade from there, then headed to the shops, and most of the shops were NOT accessable for me, which was ok. I didn't want to leave the new wheels outside unattended, so I waited for the others. We went to the pirate museum and got in for free, the fort, free!! And Ripley's, FREE!!! We were sooo excited!! And wouldn't you know it, I forgot the &%$# Camera AGAIN!! I swear I'm gonna permanently attach that thing to myself somehow so I don't forget it!! LOL The new wheels did WONDERFUL all day, even with the cobble-like streets. Again, took HALF the pain meds, since this chair is more supportive on the body than the manual one. the battery lasted very well too!! I'm really falling in love with my chair!! Of course now I have battery operated christmas lights on there!! :) Hey, I gotta be me!!!

Last weekend, Kim and Sami came down to head to DW with us, they got here around noonish on Saturday, and we got to the park kinda late, but MK was open until 1am, so late wasn't so bad. I was thinking they'd want to go to AK, since that's their favorite park, but Sami wanted her mom to see Capt EO....Thanks Julie for getting me hooked on it, and I paid it forward by getting my guys and Sami hooked!! :lmao: So, I figured while we're at Epcot, to go ahead and work on my quest!! I got a piece of paper, and wrote down each park what I still needed to complete, and the only things in FW was Turtle talk, and Ellen's Energy thingie. So, we parked at MK, and rode the monorail over to Epcot.

First thing was first, Club Cool!! But.....they were OUT of Beverly!!! :headache: And we were certain that Kim would like it!! :rotfl2:

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011003-4.jpg

After that we headed towards Capt EO, and Kim enjoyed the show. They're big MJ fans, and SW fans, so it was a good fit. Then we headed to Turtle Talk.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011007-4.jpg

Chris got volunteered to talk to Crush, and it was his first time seeing it, so it was neat that he got called out.

After that, we headed to Electric Umbrella to eat, we've been bringing sandwiches and snacks and a cooler with drinks to help save $$, the cooler fits PERFECTLY on the back of my new ride!! Speaking of which, I absolutely LOVE it! The freedom it gives me, and not having to worry about Chris pushing me, and getting upset at the crowds is just priceless!!! I was worried I'd feel weird in it, but that's not the case. LOVE it!! After we ate, we headed towards Ellen's Energy thing. Rode that, got that out of the way, and then headed to TT. When we were getting on, we found Jenn getting off!! So, she waited for us, and hung out for a little bit.

After TT, Jenn, Tyler, Sami and I rode MS orange!!! Got to talk to Jenn for a bit, and showed her the new wheels.

After MS, we were gonna hop, but Sami wanted to ride Soarin, so we did!! After that, we said goodbye to Jenn, and hopped to MK. We got off the Epcot monorail, and Chris wanted to smoke, and needed to change my battery, so we sat in the smoking area under the Epcot line, and Kim and the kids found snails to play with!!

We hop on the express line, and got to MK. We headed towards HM first, Then stopped and ate our last snacks and sandwiches, then went towards Tomorrowland Speedway. Chris rode with Tyler, I rode with Sami, and Kim sat out. I normally don't do this one, but needed it to cross off for my quest.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011016-4.jpg

I had a hard time getting up and out....go figure, but got it done. Then headed towards Space Mtn. Rode that, and again had a hard time getting out!! I thought I was stuck on SM!! We were gonna do more, but decided to call it a night. I'm REALLY happy to report, that ALL of FW in Epcot is DONE!! At this point, just had the shows in WS to finish and Illuminations for Epcot!!!

On Wednesday this past week, I met up with Julie, so I could see her before she headed out for the holidays. And guess what?? I forgot the dang camera, AGAIN!!! :headache:

We met up at 10 in the morning, and headed straight for Soarin. Was showing her my list of things needed, and we figured we could knock out a couple in WS. we got off Soarin, and went towards Canada. I haven't seen this film in a very long time, so it was pretty much new to me. I enjoyed it quite a bit, Martin Short was really funny!! Canada is georgous!! The countryside and cities that they showed were amazing!! I'll go see this one again!!

we left there and headed towards England, just as some street actors were coming out. It was the Knights were trying to find the Holy Grail. this show was extremely funny!! I about fell out of my chair a couple of times from laughing so hard!!! A must see if you get a chance!!

After that we headed to see the France show. I'd never seen this one, so it was new. But after seeing Canada, France was just kinda eh. I think it needs a little more narration, to say where the places were. Again, georgous countryside and mountains, just bland.

After france, we headed towards US, and decided that it was a little late to see that show. She had to finish getting ready to go out of town, and I needed to get home to Tyler. We did share a pumpkin spice funnel cake, and whoa boy that thing was AWESOME!!! We were both ready to lick the plates!! :lmao: We waited for the gingerbread place to open, and Julie got some cookies for her Godchildren. After that, we headed around the lagoon, and went to the Duffy store. A friend of mine needed the Duffy book for a child who lost his copy, so I told her I'd pick it up and send it for her. So, we got the book, and as soon as I wheeled into the store, I saw it.

Now, those of you who know me, know I love the seagulls from Finding Nemo. I have the MINE MINE as the ringtone on my phone :worship: and I have most of the merchandise that they have. the ONE thing Chris and I have always said they need, is a plush of the bird. Well....that was the IT that I found!!! Poor Julie thought something was wrong the way I got excited when I saw it!!! And...got home and took a picture, so here it is!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011021-4.jpg

Isn't he just too cute?? He has 3 fish in his mouth, and they have MINE on each of the fishes!!! I totally love this plush!!! :lovestruc After that we said our goodbyes, and wished each other happy holidays, and all that stuff that friends do. I always enjoy my time with Julie...she's one of those feel good people that just make you feel good when they're around!!! :hug:

Anyways, I'm up to date so far now, Just need the US show, China show, and Illuminations and Epcot will be DONE!! Not sure if we're headed out there tomorrow or not, if we do I will try to remember the dang camera!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!

Up next I think....Monday with Jenn before she goes out of town, and we get Sami the day after Christmas, so we'll probably head over while we have her, and New Years Eve we're hanging out at DHS. I'm hoping to finish up DHS that day too, since we'll be confined to that park due to the crowds. I need shows from that park, Muppets, B&B, Disney Jr, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, and sounds dangerous. so, hopefully by the end of this year, I'll be halfway thru this quest!!! with any luck anyways!! :rolleyes:

We did end up heading out to MK on Saturday night, we got there around 5ish, I doped myself up, and headed towards the Treehouse. I haven't done this in quite a few years due to the steps, DH and DS were there this time to help me, and this is the LAST time I'll ever do this attraction due to the steps. We headed to the monorail, and I remembered the camera, so got a couple of shots.

After that we headed to the Tiki Room. since it's back to the original, I'm not sure if I like it or not. It was just singing, and not the mean spirit or whatever it was. But, we got it done.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011016-5.jpg

After that we headed to see the Country Bears. They're awesome, as usual!!

Then we went to the Hall of Presidents.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011024-5.jpg

After that we decided to leave MK, it was super crowded, and we didn't want to get caught during a parade or wishes. we headed to Disney Quest, and played some games. We had a blast there, and closed it down at 11. then headed home. the next morning, Tyler didn't want to get up!! I went in to check on him, and the cat was sleeping by his head!! It was way too cute, so I got a pic.

My baby boys!!! :) Anyways, Chris is coming home early, so not sure if we're gonna head over or not. Today was Tyler's last day of school for the winter break, so he's home until Jan 9th!!! We're taking Sami to Disney Quest on the 30th, DHS on new years eve with Jenn, and whatever else we decide on between now and then :)

You've covered alot of territory! I'll be sad to see you move. Too bad it didn't work out for Anakin to see the France movie with you. It's really interesting from his perspective. He insists he's moving in the movie while watching it. He gets so excited.

Awwwwww!!! I'd go see it with him in a heart beat!! I was a little upset at the move, mostly cause of all the paperwork I gotta do with the Dr's before we even get assigned a place, since we're special needs and stuff. So, no Hawaii or Alaska for us!! :) But, I was telling most everyone, we keep our FL resident status as long as Chris is Active Duty. we'll just make weekend trips instead of day trips. It'll give us an excuse to try out all the resorts!! LOL

Moira, :welcome Glad ya found me!! I can't believe it's been almost 5 months and I'm almost done. Had to step it up a bit when we found out we're moving.

I just updated the attractions on the first page....just gotta load pictures from Christmas week. I hope everyone had an awesome new year, and it's started out great for us here...hopefully it continues!!!

I have been taking a break from TRs lately but have been catching up this weekend.

I can't believe that you are moving! I thought your DH was close to getting out and that you bought your house so you would be there after he retired. I could be totally off but that it what I thought for some reason.

It is a good thing you took on your quest when you did. You are certainly making progress in seeing everything and meeting everyone in Disney.

Thanks Pink!! Glad to have you back!!! That actually was the plan, but I didn't plan on my disease starting to make me more and more useless this fast. He was gone for the month of October, and I couldn't keep up with the house. It got bad, then everyone griped at me cause I didn't call anyone for help. Uh, sorry, but I'm not gonna have my dad come down and scrub my floors for me, just something not right in my head about that. I have a hard time listening to my body tell me to stop something, and can't do just a half a job, so I always overdo it, and end up in bed or on my chair for 2-3 days, then the stuff is that much more behind!! Never ending cycle. We were hoping that my body would hold out, but it's not. So we had to make a hard decision that was for the best interest of the family as a whole. Not just me. Anyways....that's my sob story!! LOL I am almost done, in half the time I gave myself :cool1: so that's good!! I am glad you're back!! Missed ya girl!

I need to do some major catching up!!! The news for today is AK is TOTALLY done!!! Epcot will be tomorrow, then just a couple things at DHS, and MK!!! :) Wow....not even 6 months!! It's been fun!!! We've done things we haven't in a long time, and we found some new favorites that we have never done or seen!!! It's been a wonderful journey!

WTG Christie!!! I know you have been having a blast with your quest. I wish we were going to be down there sooner, but things just have not been working out for me in that area :sad2:. I so hope that y'all will not get your transfer orders before we get down there in June.

Hey ya'll!! Sorry not many updates lately, my computer has been acting up, and not letting me post pics to photobucket. Tyler thinks he fixed it, so I will try with the pics tomorrow.

I am officially done with AK AND Epcot, and have 2 things to do at DHS, and ONE at MK!! :) The end of Feburary will be the 6 month mark...so maybe I can do it in half the time I gave myself. Then of course I'll still post my adventures!!!! :)

Today had an awesome day with KatMark and MaryAZ. Those pics are coming up soon!! :)

Alright, time for some major updating!!!

We left off right before Christmas, well, we decided to head over on Dec 23rd, to see the christmas parade. We hit Chris's usual smoking area, and he found this guy. He had to get on my leg. Thank GOD it's not a spider!! I would have been moving like I shouldn't be!! :cool1:

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011009-6.jpg

And, here I am with my lovely Tigger Santa hat!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011011-4.jpg

I got a video of the parade, but it's too long to fit. Plus, I had this little girl behind me STOMPING to the beat on the back of my chair!! :headache: So Chris asked nicely for the girl to stop, and quietly so I didn't get us griping on the video LOL

got this pic going down Main St

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011015-5.jpg

waiting for the parade to start!!

We then went to DHS, Got Tyler trying to drive over to DHS LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011022-6.jpg

NOT YET baby....not yet!! LOL We rode TSM, and then went and saw the Osborne lights.

After that we headed home, slept in on Christmas Eve.

01-30-2012, 08:43 PM

Christmas eve we stayed home, and had fun with just the family. We let Tyler open one present, and Chris picked it, it was the helicopter he got down in Miami.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Christmas2011003.jpg

He really enjoyed it, and our old dog had to get in on the fun LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Christmas2011006.jpg

So Christmas morning comes, and USUALLY, like the past, 12 years of christmas mornings, we've had to drag Tyler out of bed. So, was talking with my family, kidding around that he sleeps in....and guess what?? For the FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE he woke up before us on Christmas!!! So, we made him get some clothes on, told him didn't want pictures of you opening your presents in your undies!!! So, here's him opening some stuff.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Christmas2011009.jpg

Then the stocking

And we wore our little old man out.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Christmas2011017.jpg

Then we opened presents from Chris's niece Amanda.

She got me a black Tigger jacket!! I saw this in Walmart, and didn't get it, since I was shopping for the kids LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Christmas2011022.jpg

Chris got garlic pistachios.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Christmas2011020.jpg

So, we headed out, dropped off some cookies to my old guy, and the gifts for the exchange for my dad's side of the family, and then headed to Aunt Donna's for dinner. She made a pork roast, mashed taters, green beans, the works!! It was ALL good!! Then, we opened presents!!

they had Tyler pass out the presents!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Christmas2011030.jpg

Here's Aunt Donna.

and guess what? I got ANOTHER Tigger Jacket!! This one was blue, so it'll match things that the black one won't LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Christmas2011042.jpg

Us 2 gimps had the little couch. The one in black is my Aunt Judi. She's the one that has this MD really bad. We've been talking alot more since the universal day when I walked and killed myself. So things went really well on Christmas!! Chris met Sami's mom off of the highway, and we got to take Sami home with us!! WOOHOO!!! She opened all her presents, and all was good.

He's the old man of the house, we've had him for 8 years, and he's 13 years old. We have a black lab as well, and a black cat. The old man likes to be with us, wherever we're at in the house, and in the middle of everything. I am surprised the cat wasn't out, he likes the paper!! LOL

We saw the osborne lights twice this year, and of course, always awesome!!! Can't be Christmas without seeing those!!!

01-31-2012, 04:32 PM

I left off with us getting Sami, we figured it would be easier on Kim to meet her in Daytona by Aunt Donna's house, rather than have her drive all the way to Cocoa, another hour south. We try to save each other and meet each other as much as we can. It's a good system we got going on LOL Kim has actually been coming with us alot more often, so she's in the next few updates. I'm gonna finish up with Christmas, and then move on.

Now, I'm gonna paint a mental picture here, ya'll know I got a new powerchair from my old guy, and we went to St Augustine with friends one weekend. Now, we have a cooler, that we take with us to Disney, well, we took drinks with us to St Augustine, so we had THAT on the back of my chair. We did a little Christmas shopping, so we had THAT in the bad under my chair. Well, Sami likes the game Kingdom Hearts, and has been playing it for as long as I can remember. Well...in St Augustine, we found a full life size key blade from KH!!!

So...where to put it?? Too big for the basket, too awkward to carry around, so Chris puts it in the back with the cooler holding it in....sticking up behind my head!! I SOOOO wish I had the camera for that, cause I had to be looking silly!!!!

Anyways, when we got home, we gave Sami her stuff from us. We got both kids new ipods, and hoodies that play the ipods thru the strings in the hoods. Tyler got legos and toys, Sami is always hard to buy for, cause she's at that strange teenage stage where toys are too young, and she has all the video games on the planet, so what to get her? Kim didn't think she'd like the ipod, uh, HELLO!!! TEENAGER!!! LOL Anyways, she loves it!! LOL SO :P to KIM!! HAHA

Here's Sami opening the Keyblade.

So the day after Christmas, we headed to AK, since that is Sami's favorite park. I needed a couple things from this park, the parade, and the conservation area. So, we headed straight back to the train, and got on.

I saw this Minnie in the window, and thought of our great niece Sara.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011011-5.jpg

Sami got to pet a snake.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011013-7.jpg

And Tyler of course being Tyler!! :rolleyes:

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011015-6.jpg

we went into the area to pet the sheep and goats, I just took pictures, didn't wanna touch anything, or anyone LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011016-7.jpg

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011024-7.jpg

They now have a couple of donkeys over there!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011020-6.jpg

So, Tyler left the area early, and kept my seat warm.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011026-4.jpg

And Chris DID touch somethings, so he had to wash up.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011025-5.jpg

after we left that area, we got in line for the Safari. The handicapped line was kinda long, but we knew that was gonna happen, so we waited. Sami was standing along the side, and a CM came up behind her, and she didn't hear him, cause she had her strings in her ears!! We got a good laugh when he photobombed me!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011032-5.jpg

Tyler didn't charge his ipod, so he was without for this day LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011033-5.jpg

I stayed in my chair, been doing that a lot on the safari, cause it beats the crap out of me. It's a little more comfy in my chair. We saw lots of animals out, I took pics, but didn't upload them, cause we have MILLIONS of safari pics LOL

After the safari, we went and had lunch. We've been bringing sandwiches lately, and with us doing that, I really think Disney is starting to LOSE money with us!! LOL But, they let us bring it in!!

After lunch, we headed towards Dinoland. The wait for triceratop spin was too long, so we went to the boneyard to play in the digsite.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011071-1.jpg

After that, the kids wanted to play games, and I needed that for the quest too, so we went. Did you know they require tickets now? Maybe it was because that day was to be busy, but the game attendants weren't taking cash at all.

Here's what the kids won. They beat me LOL

Tyler got a red dragon, that he gave to our lab Mollie, and it's now a bunch of fluff in the bottom of her crate!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011075-2.jpg

Sami got a black bat AND a purple turtle!!! She said the turtle looked retarded, but we quickly corrected her to not say that in public like that!! Just what we need, someone overhearing us, and griping at us!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011081-2.jpg

We then headed to EE. Can't go to AK without going on EE!!!

01-31-2012, 05:13 PM

After EE, we went to find a spot for the parade. We don't normally watch the AK parade, and weren't sure where the HC seating was at. But, we found it, and had a good seat. We were beside a really nice couple from the Tampa area, and talked with them for quite a while. He had had one leg amputated, and was in a manual chair. I commended him for being able to wheel himself around, and we talked about my condition a bit, he did say if he had to guess it would have been some type of muscular problem, just from the way I play with my hair LOL

Anyways, the parade came, so we watched, and cheered. One CM kept walking in front of us, telling the drivers and performers to either slow down, or speed up, or put more distance between them and the one in front of them. Kinda neat to see that aspect of it.

I had never seen this parade, so it was cool to watch.

After the parade, we hopped to MK. The camera battery had died, so was without a camera again.

We rode the Tomorrowland Speedway, and I got stuck, of course!! Then we rode SM, and I got stuck again!!! I felt horribly embarrassed!!! But, all was well. We ate, rode WTP, and then called it a night. We were tired, and I was cold!! LOL Next up, Disney Quest with BOTH kids, and Epcot!!

01-31-2012, 05:54 PM

Jan 30th we decided to take the kids to Disney Quest. We've been, especially since we upgraded our passes, but Sami had never been, so we got her a ticket, and had to wait for it to open, so we hung around the shops for a little bit.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011004-7.jpg

got Sami a new Boba Fett shirt, that she went and put on right away LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011007-6.jpg

So we let the kids go play on their own, after we did the pirates thing. We all did good at that!!! I followed Chris, and watched him play.

After DQ got too crowded, we headed to Epcot. Kim was on her way down, and met us there. We went and rode TT, and MS...well, The kids and I rode MS LOL and then we headed to WS, to do CHINA!!!

It was the last night for the CP, so the Liberty singers weren't singing, but we watched the film. After that, we ate, then Chris wasn't feeling good, so we headed home. The next day was NYE, and we were gonna be at DHS all day!!!

01-31-2012, 06:19 PM

NYE we decided on DHS. I was intrigued by the fireworks, since they hardly have fireworks at that park, plus, we were hoping it would be less crowded than the others LOL

Jenn was supposed to come with us, but she was really sick. I felt bad for her, cause she was SOOO looking forward to this day. And I still had her Christmas present in my car LOL

We got to the park around 10am, headed first.....TOT!! Where else??!! Kim was petrified of this ride, and with Chris playing with the boxes in line. Scared the crap outta her, it was funny!! LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011040-2.jpg

We had a 3:20 ressie at 50's prime time, but we got there at around 2:30, asking if we could be early, and they let us!! We were hungry!!

After lunch we headed to LMA. Can't miss out on that show!! LOL

the upstairs chair area was full, so we were down in front. Couldn't see crap!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011083-1.jpg

Chris and Tyler went off to get our party hats, Kim and Sami rode Star tours again.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011085-2.jpg

Then we went and rode TSM.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Annualpass2011088-2.jpg

After that, Tyler was getting on my nerves, so I got angry with him. We went towards the Art Academy, and Sami and I did the drawing. We drew Repunzel.

After that we were kinda tired and grumpy, and the park got PACKED at about 9pm, so we figured we had fireworks at home, and we could light a fire, and my shoulder was hurting REAL bad, it was time to go home. So we stopped by walmart, got some stuff for smores, and headed home. I was in tears, thinking Chris was gonna take me to the ER, but I got home, got the heating pad, and just chilled in my chair. The guys did fireworks and smores, and had a blast. Kim and Sami left to go home the next day :(

Chris had off thru the 8th of January, so it was real nice having him home. We headed to DHS on the 4th, I knew I needed to see the parade, so we headed to see that. We rode ToT of course, then went and found a spot. got some crack popcorn, and chowed down a little bit.

Of course Tyler NEVER stops eating!!

Not sure if I liked this parade or not. It was kinda short. I've never been a big fan of parades, So I don't know....verdict isn't back yet on this LOL

We were waiting for Julie, so we tried to kill some time. Got my guys goofing off LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012036.jpg

After that we ate, and then Chris wanted to try the Art Academy. This time we drew Chip. He did really good, I'm still not good at the whole drawing thing LOL we met up with Julie and Alan by the Osborne Lights, we exchanged gifts, since they were gone for the holidays. This is what I got from them. Georgous!!!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012037.jpg

And Dana sent me a late Christmas early birthday present!! I was really surprised!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012041.jpg

We talked for a while, and when the park was almost closed, we headed home. Got a bunch of their "snow" all over me!! I smelled like a soap factory!! It was chilly this night, and I was freezin!!!!

That following weekend, we didn't go to Disney. We went and had an early birthday dinner with my mom in New Smyrna. We went to Bostons, and had Seafood!! ALWAYS love Bostons!!! Went back to Ma's and played cards. Tyler even played with us!!!

Next up, my ACTUAL birthday weekend!!!

Love the update!! The pictures are so good. I miss seeing y'all so much :guilty:. I hope y'all don't get transferred before we get down there in June. I have seriously considered changing the trip again to May 18-May 25th, but I think that is the week of finals for Matt, and with all that is going on with me now I don't know what to do :sad2:.

I know you gotta be torn. Shoot, I'm upset about it too girl!! We're all but guaranteed to stay until the end of the school year, which is the end of May for Tyler...After that it depends on orders and the new report date. So, since we don't have orders yet, the best guess for a report date is either June 1st, or July 1st. Depending on where, will determine when we leave. It's a headache, and I'm kinda glad this is the last move until Chris retires. We're still hoping for Charleston, or Kings Bay Ga.

What will you do about selling your house? Will the CG buy you out so you can relocate with Chris or will you have to stay behind to sell the house? Not that I'm wishing that on ya or nothin' :rolleyes1. I would be soooooooooo happy if Chris could get transferred here, the base is right outside my front door!! If he got Kings Bay would you have to sell your house? I looked it up and it appears to only be about 200 miles north of where you are now. I know y'all are tired of not being together all the time though. Anyway, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out best for you.

I left off right before my birthday weekend. It is actually on the 16th, which this year was MLK day. Kim and Sami came down for it, and we went to eat at a place in Cocoa Beach called "Tokyo" It's a hibachi type place, that cooks the food in front of you. It was REALLY yummy!!

Saturday we got up early, and headed to AK. I wanted to work on that park some more, I think I only had Triceratop Spin left to do. Chris and Sami headed towards Dinosaur, and Kim, Tyler and I went to TS. We got on, and rode!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012042.jpg

After that we went and rode EE. Always fun for us, and is a must do!! After that, Kim wanted to see the Lion King show, and we got to the area a little bit early, so we headed down to see Mickey!!! With the character trails down, AK is COMPLETE!!! :dance3:

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012046.jpg

We got in line, and watched FOLK. None of the little kids in the lion section wanted to join in, so Sami did!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012057.jpg

After that we headed to MK, I didn't get too many pictures, so I'm not sure what all we did!! LOL I knew it was late when we got home, and the day was fun!!

Sunday, we BBQ'd at my house, and my bud Melody came over.

Next up, a shared birthday fun day at Epcot!!!

bouncycat

02-07-2012, 07:06 PM

My friend Julie has a birthday 2 days after mine, so we planned an epcot day for us, with dinner in Japan. We picked up Jenn along the way, and Julie, her hubby Alan, and my bud Melody met us all by the camera shop, and then we started!!!!

We headed straight for Soarin, and we had 7 of us, not sure if I could get all of us in on my GAC, but the nice guy let us in. Mel had never ridden this, so it was a treat for her!! She LOVED it!! After that we hit up Livin with the land, she had never done that either, so again, a real treat!! she sat in the back seat with me in my chair, and I got a pic of the back of my guy's heads!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012075.jpg

We scooted towards TT, and again, they let the 7 of us in on my pass. Another thing Mel hadn't done, so she sat with me and Tyler up front, Chris and Jenn sat in the back, and Julie and Alan had their own car. Mel was expecting more, cause when we got to the end, we heard "that's it??" LOL She did like it, but wanted more.

It was still too early to hit WS, so we headed to MS. Melody, me and Tyler rode, Jenn went and got lunch, Chris went to smoke, and Julie and Alan waited for us. Mel liked MS, thought the feeling was neat. We did the orange side of course!!

After MS, it was after noon, so we headed to Mexico to get our margarita!!! They boys just kinda laughed at us, and I wanted a pic of us 3 girls like we did for Jenn's birthday with our drinks, so we got a little festive!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012079.jpg

After that, it was a hat testing spree in WS!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012087.jpg

I needed to see the Voices of Liberty for the quest, so we sat and enjoyed their show. We skipped the show in the theater tho.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012098.jpg

We headed around the WS, Julie, Alan and Jenn went to England to see a show, Mel, Chris, Tyler and I shopped a little in Morocco, and met up with the others in England. We watched the band play there, after looking in the tea store. Chris headed out to the car to get my second battery for my chair, and he ALMOST didn't get let back in the park!! They thought the bag with the battery was suspicious!! But, they let him back in, changed my battery, and we were all good. Finished the loop around WS, shopped in one of the shops near Canada, and saw a nice sleep shirt, and told Alan that would be nice for Julie. He wa ALLLL over it!! And got it for her. When she came back from the bathroom, he handed her the bag!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012103.jpg

She loved it cause it was her favorite character!!!

After that, it was still too early for dinner, and we didn't want to head back to FW, so we looped around WS again. Everyone but Mel and I went and rode the boat ride in mexico, then we all rode Maelstrom, and then it was close to dinner time, so we headed towards Japan. Got checked in, and then after about 20 minutes, we were seated at our table!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012109.jpg

Jenn has a gluten allergy, so she got special soy sauce!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012108.jpg

AND she got her food first!! She's sooooo used to waiting last to get her food, so we all were happy for her to get hers first!!!

Here's our chef!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012112.jpg

And Jenn getting to eat first!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012113.jpg

We ate, and then Julie and I got our birthday hats!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012115.jpg

Julie gave her hat to Tyler. We went and scoped out our spot for Illuminations, Julie and Alan said their good nights, and headed home. We stayed to watch. got a good pic with my bestest bud!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012118.jpg

Illuminations was awesome as usual!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Disney2012122.jpg

The park closed, and it wasn't as bad getting out of there as it usually is. Right on the sidewalk going out to the parking lot, my chair decided to just stop. We had been having problems with the left motor, but the whole thing died. It was a used chair to begin with, and we had priced out new motors, but it just wasn't in the cards for us. Not knowing what I was gonna do, I told Kathy and Mary just in case, that we'd meet up with them on the next Saturday, so I'd have Chris with me to use the manual chair. Well....got a nice surprise!!

up next, the lovely surprise finding I found and got.....and the new paintjob, and AK with Kathy, Mary and the girls!!!!!

02-07-2012, 08:36 PM

So, I was kinda looking online to see if I could find another chair, and I'm hardly ever on craigslist, but I got on there, and found a full size power chair for $400!! I emailed the guy, asked what the catch was, and he said he had it for a family member who had passed, and now they just want it out of the garage. So...him and Tyler put it in the back of the car, and we brought it home. Got the battery charged, and wow can that thing move!! I asked Chris to put a new coat of paint on my braces, so he did, and then he asked if I wanted him to paint the chair too. So....this is the results!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/Chair002.jpg

Saturday, we set out to meet up with Mary and Kathy!! we found them pretty easy, and I brought the girls goodie bags!! They were just too cute!! LOVED their new loot LOL And then we headed to Everest!!!

Avery wanted to ride, so she rode with me, and Chris and Tyler rode together.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012001.jpg

She screamed the whole way, and loved it!!! After that, we headed towards the safari. Chris wanted to smoke, and Kathy wanted to get some coffee, so we stopped and let the girls play the drums. Once we were all caught up, we got on the safari truck!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012004.jpg

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012005.jpg

Was a great safari, lots of animals out, and even the cheetah was out and moving. I don't think I've EVER seen them guys move!!

We got off there, and met up with another family, Heather and another Chris. Forgot the girls' names. We headed to the Lion King show, and I got the girls to sit beside me, so they could participate in the show. Avery played with the Simba that was in her bag.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012025.jpg

and I got a good one of my boys.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012027.jpg

The show started, and Caylee got picked to do the lion roar!!!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012031.jpg

they loved the show, with my chair, they got pretty much a front row look. Caylee was on my lap for the show, and all 4 of the girls got picked to go in the parade at the end.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012032.jpg

what was way too cute, is Heather and Mary hopped up one row where the girls were to take pictures!! They were such moms!! :cloud9: After that they wanted to go eat. I needed the 3pm parade at MK to see, so we parted ways, and planned to meet up at DHS on Sunday. So, waiting for the parade...

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012034.jpg

and then they made an announcement that the parade was down main st, and in front of the castle ONLY. So we moved and still got an ok view.

The guys were wanting to play some games, so we headed to Disney Quest. They played, I sat, and wished I had a book with me LOL We got home kinda early, since we were meeting them again the next morning.

Up next, DHS with Mary, Kathy and the girls!!!!

Oh, and I forgot to mention in my Epcot update that Epcot is DONE!!!! :cheer2:

Japan looks like fun if you are dining with a group. I don't think I would want to be stuck with a bunch of strangers, so I doubt we'll ever go there.

Chris had off for Monday, which was a blessing, we usually don't do the parks on Sundays, but he had to travel to be a juror in a court marshall on Monday, so it all worked out!! DHS is Chris's favorite, so it was good that we could come that day as well. This day, we spent a bunch more time with them, and it was a BLAST!!!

We all caught up with each other at ToT. Kathy and the girls rode with us, and it was FUN!!! Chris tried on the ToT Ears at the shop LOL

After that, RnRC!!! Heather and her Chris rode with us, and I think Avery did as well. For once, I can't remember!!

After that we headed towards Star Tours. We all rode, it was only a 10 minute wait. I was in the back of the pack, so I got Mary texting in line!!

The first weekend of February, Kim and Sami came back down to head to Disney with us. Friday night we ate at the Tokyo place again, I think we got Kim totally hooked on it!!!

The next morning, we got up and headed out. We parked at MK, and then hopped the monorail to Epcot. This park was done, so Sami played tour guide for us. First, we headed to Club Cool, but they weren't open yet. So, we headed to TT. On the way there, we saw Rafiki out, and Kim wanted a picture, so I took one of her, and then he posed with Chris.

After TT, we headed back to Club Cool, and they were open. Sami's been wanting her mom to try the Beverly, and we finally got it!!

We then headed to watch Capt. EO. I got sami hooked on that show, thanks to Julie introducing it to me!! LOL

then we headed to WS. We walked thru Canada and England, and then saw that Marie was out, Sami's been trying to get a picture with her since spring break last year!!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012014.jpg

I got one too!!

I got Sami playing with the camera in France as well.

we then went to the store in Japan, Sami wanted to do some shopping. But, she didn't get much. I did get a few pics in the store.

After shopping, we found a nice table and ate lunch. We brought our lunch. Then we headed to the International Gateway, and got on the boat to DHS.

Will continue in another post!!

So we got on the boat, and then headed to DHS. We went straight to see what times American Idol, and Disney Jr were playing. we went to Disney Jr. First. I had never seen this show, it was cute, but not one thing that we'd do again.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012028-1.jpg

Guys didn't like the fact that you sat on the floor either. But, they still played like they always do!! LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012038-1.jpg

Sami got some of the confetti strings LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012040.jpg

After that it was close to time for American Idol. Chris wanted to see the stunt show, so he left us to go there. He ended up sitting in the VIP section thanks to some of the CM's we know. American Idol was cool, it was a lot like the actual show. The voting was cool too. The girl I voted for won for our show!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012046.jpg

After that we waited for Chris to get done with his show, and Sami got her face painted.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012047.jpg

When Chris came back, we rode TSM. Chris got high score again, but I did beat Kim!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012059.jpg

After that, Tyler got his face painted as well. they both looked kinda creepy LOL

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012064-1.jpg

We headed over to the Animation building, Sami wanted to draw, but we found a bunch of characters instead. Kim LOVES Jafar, but we've never seen him out to take pictures....until now!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012069-1.jpg

We saw the queen of hearts, and Mary Poppins as well.

we didn't end up drawing, cause the park was getting ready to close, so we headed to Star tours, Sami got picked to be the Rebel Spy. Then we got on a bus to head to MK.

Once at MK, we saw that the castle show was going on, and Kim hadn't seen it, so we got a good spot, and watched it. they thought it was pretty neat.

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012078.jpg

After that we headed to Pecos Bills to eat. The kids were over the face paint, and went to wash it off. Tyler got a big fat FAIL on his attempt to remove it!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012080.jpg

I told him he looked like a zombie!!!

After we ate, we rode Haunted Mansion. We then headed towards Tomorrowland. The kids rode the teacups, and then Kim, Sami and Tyler headed to space mtn. After that we were done!! I did get a pic of Chris in the store with Perry's hat on!!

http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo176/tylerbugmom/Annual%20Pass%20Quest/AnnualPass2012082.jpg

this was a fun day, and I had DHS COMPLETE with the 2 shows. All I had left at this point was the Main st vehicles at MK!!!

The friday after, on the 10th, we put Tyler on the bus, and Chris and I headed to MK to do the final piece of the quest. Of course I forgot my camera, but I did take pics with my phone, so if anyone wants a pic, let me know and I'll text it to ya!!

After that, we headed to the Jungle Cruise. we had an older guy, and he was aweful!!!!! Chris got a corn dog, and then we headed to the monorail, and went to Epcot.

We rode TT, and Imagination, and we had ice cream at the Edy's place. LOVE the ice cream cookie sandwich!! After that, we headed back to the monorail, and headed home because it looked like it was gonna rain.

Saturday, (yesterday) We had a luncheon in Hobe sound, with others who have the same type of MD that I have. After that was over, we went to DHS. Of course, no camera!!! UG!!

We rode ToT, RnRC, Star Tours, and then GMR. After that we headed home, cause it was getting late.

So, the quest is officially complete. I'll do some final words soon, and reflect a little on the whole thing.

I can't believe it's complete! I mean I can, wow you guys did a lot... but wow. Complete! Everything in WDW! It's definitely something that I would love to do now that I think of it. I certainly couldn't do it in a year, but just in general. I should make a list of the things I've never done and see if I can't tick them off next time.

Kinda sad that your quest is over :sad2:. I know you have had a good time with the quest though, and now that you are moving you can start a new quest at DL.

I know y'all will be out in San Diego for about 4 years; are y'all gonna move back to Florida when Chris retires? I was surprised that he is getting sent back out there since they told y'all SC or Alaska at first. Did you like living out there last time? I hate that you are going to be so far away, but we will still be able to keep up on FB and here on the Dis.

Sitting on the trolley in MK, I was kinda sad too, cause that was the last thing. But, of course we'll spend as much time as we can over there before we to. Once you get your dates straight we can hook up with you too!! :lmao:

I sure was fun! And an adventure. Did some things I never knew were there!! And, now that we're moving to California....I get to start all over with Disneyland!!! LOL One thing is for sure, our passes pay for themselves a few times over!! I've been telling Chris since we started bringing our lunch and drinks that I'm quite sure Disney's losing money on us!!! But, I'll keep this going, and post the rest of the time before we move.

It does look like we're gonna do a stay at BCV before we move, to spend some time with Leanne and Joe. Which is nice before a cross country drive LOL Once I get more details, I'll post them for sure!!!

Greay update on our time together! We had such fun!!! I for one am kinda excited about San Diego. We can plan a DL trip together. I would love to get out to WDW end of May early June but the airfare is awful :(

I HATE to fly!!! DL trip, bring it on!!!! My sister is in Phoenix, and she's happy about us going back out there as well. When I first found out, I told her about it, and was griping about it, and she told me she was the wrong one to gripe at, cause she loved it when we were out there before!!! :lmao: Good thing the military moves our household goods, all we gotta do is get 2 cars, the cat and our Lab Mollie....oh and the teenager across country. UG!! LOL It was interesting when we did it before, and we will be making a stop for a couple of days in Phoenix to visit my sister and one of my Aunts. I got your number in my phone, so I'll let you know when that is. Probably somewhere around June 20th. So I'll Definidely keep you posted!!!!

Few final thoughts on the quest itself....well, I can't believe I actually did it!!! :lmao:

It took 5 months and 10 days to complete, and I did some things I don't normally do, due to my body and such, and we did some new things. We particularly liked Flights of Wonder, and a couple of the parades. The new castle show is AWESOME!!!! So we did discover a few new favorites.

Some dislikes, besides those that hurt me :rolleyes1 Disney Jr. UG!! Not my cup of tea. I have heard that some like it, but it's just not for me and my gang. American Idol...EH. I could take it or leave it. If you got the time, go for it, if not, wait until it comes on TV. The host sounded JUST like Ryan Seacrest, and the judges were just like the TV people as well.

One thing we enjoyed and weren't expecting to is the Animation Academy. I didn't think I'd like it so much, but we LOVE it now. I even got Chris in there!!! He loved it as well. I will keep this going, cause F&G is coming up at Epcot, and of course our cross country trek, and now I believe we have 4 nights coming up at BCV's with Leanne in June before we head west, so that's gonna be fun!!!! And....of course, scoping out DISNEYLAND!!! :cool1: so some good is coming out of this!! Anyways, thanks for everyone's help, and I'm sure I'll see a lot of the locals before we leave, and of course got Dana on my calendar!!!

Wow. I would call this a roaring success! Not only did you do everything, you found some new favourites. My parents will be at Epcot for the F&G festival on May 12! I wish so much I was going with them. I can't wait to hear all about Disneyland!

I'm sorry the quest is over, but so glad that you got it accomplished. I love the pics from the rest of our Studios Day and the one of the three and half of us. :lmao::lmao::lmao:

It was such a pleasure meeting you and spending time with you.

I guess I somehow missed that you are going to San Diego for the transfer. Mary will be lcose by and you guys can hook up.

Thanks Kathy!! We enjoyed spending time with you all as well. It will be nice to be close to Mary, and my sister is in AZ as well!! Guess I'll have to start a new quest with DL and CA Adventure!! LOL

I am just so sad that you are moving. I know we don't get to see each other a lot, but I always knew that when I came down to Disney I would get to see you, now I won't have that :(. I know it is just for a little while and you will come back!!

I can't wait to get down there in May and see y'all again!!!

I know Dana. Sad sad sad!!! But, it is temporary!! And hey, if you ever wanted to see DL, here's your chance!! LOL

We woud love to see you! You can help me celebrate my bday on June 21st :)

I would love to help celebrate Mary, just not sure when we're gonna be out there. Chris reports to the ship on July 1st, and we're taking our time getting out there. We will probably be in AZ during that time, so if you're home...bring it on!!! :) Love birthdays, as long as they aren't mine!!! :lmao:

I LOVE the flower and garden festival!!! How they design those topiaries is just awe inspiring!! We have a few months before we go...so anything new that pops up, we'll be sure to check it out. So, stay tuned, even tho the quest is over....the journey continues!!!

So keeping in this tradition of doing everything, we went and checked out the new sorcerer game at MK. It was really fun!!!! Tyler had control of the key card, and Chris helped with the finding of the portals. I have pictures, but our computer crashed...silly teenagers...so I'm waiting a little bit to upload them. Thanks to photobucket, ALL our pictures aren't gone. It was very interesting, and it sent you ALL over the MK. We picked Jenn up, since she was having car troubles, and just had a blast. Didn't ride any rides, just did the game.

I'm gonna hook up with Julie for the game on the 29th, gonna scope out this MK open 24 hrs thing too. can't stay ALL night, I got a dr's appt early on Thursday, got my "well woman" Check that day...yippee!! NOT!!! And some other concerns that have cropped up. Anyways, so we're gonna be at MK on Wednesday, then somewhere on Saturday, not sure where, and then March 15th Jenn's mom is in town, and I think her, Julie and I are gonna check out the Flower and Garden fest at Epcot. So will be reporting back on that as well!!

Our move is starting to come together. As some may have noticed, I have a new ticker in my siggie line, and YES!!! We will be at BCV with Leanne, and her gang, and some others for a few days after our movers come. Chris is checking on his final orders, which gives us how much moving $ we are to get for hauling 2 cars, a cat and a 75 lb black lab AND a teenager across country. LOL Once those final orders are in, he can arrange movers, which I'm shooting for May 31st, and June 1st. They always give us 2 days, one to pack, the other to load the truck. so once that's set, I'll let everyone know!! This is our second station in San Diego, first time moving out there, Chris was only an E4, and Tyler was only a year old!!! So, there are some people, and some landmarks I'm looking forward to seeing on our trek across. Anyways, hope everyone is enjoying their February, and I'll check in after the 29th!!!
