Thanks to everyone for the holiday wishes and the Vanderbilt LUCK!! It WORKED!!!! The game was a lot of fun and I just wanted to share some pictures before we moved on with the parade

This will be a mix of my cell phone pics (sorry they are small) and some pics a friend took at the game

We parked downtown and walked over the Shelby St. 'walking' bridge. Nashville is really a cool little city! And look it's the Walbash Cannonball in the bottom corner :rotfl:

It was pretty cold that day, but the wind was what made it much worse!
Matt said it was warm right here :lmao:

The very small group of white you see in the blue seats in the middle is the BC band. I think we might have actually won the Battle of the Bands the night before!

These are my friends Mark and Jody (Amy's brother) I used to go to almost every game with this group. Their dad got me my tickets and is one reason why we had such great seats! They are all family and I fit in to theirs just great. :goodvibes

Thanks for the afternoon parade!

I went and sat out on my street corner with a frozen lemonade and scrolled through. It was just like being there for real!!!:rotfl:

The teenage kid in the maroon shirt looks less than impressed with Brer Rabbit.
 
An update???? Be still my heart!!!!;)

I love the ak parade! I think it's the best of the daytime parades!
 

funny little story. erica and i found a seat on a wall for the parade. i asked a nearby CM if we could sit there for the parade and she said yes. so of course about 5 minutes later another CM comes by and asks us to move. so luckily we found another area to stand in that wasn't covered in people. well, see the guy in the orange shirt above? he and his family come and sit where me and erica were sitting. of course the same CM asked them to move too. they weren't very happy about it but they moved and went across the path from us. not long after that another family came and sat down in that spot and the CM didn't make them move. :confused3 the guy in the orange short was HIGHY AGITATED because of this! if i remember correctly i saw him and/or his wife complaining to another CM about it. i guess because they had to stand and not sit for the parade and the other family got to sit. who knows? and notice that they have dream fastpasses around their necks. what more do these people want????? :lmao: just kidding. i probably would've been mad too.
 
I somehow missed the last update! Those Villians are awesome! I love the villians and wish they were out all the time. I wonder why they aren't? I also love the balloon pictures, the Disney CM's are the best! And that girl's outfit was definitely interesting - wearing a halter-top and booty shorts while walking barefoot through the Magic Kingdom parking lot... now that's class! :thumbsup2 :laughing:

i love the vililans too! i wish they'd do a character meal with them. oh, and that girl didn't have on shorts - that was a skirt, my friend. i don't get it!

What a great way to start out my morning - with so many great pictures!
And you know how I love a safari!

I love to watch the apes just out there being apes. With the glass enclosure, you can be within inches of those massive creatures!

Thanks for all the awesome pictures!

the apes are my FAVORITE! every time i'm there i ask ray if i can have an ape. he just rolls his eyes at me.

WHOOOO HOOOOO!! An update!!!!! You both are so photogenic!!!

The pic is hilarious of the guy smiling at the camera, but his shirt confuses me???? Which Lance is he talking about?? Lance Bass or Lance Armstrong??:lmao:

wow....thanks! i think someone's already answered this but i think he's referring to lance armstrong since those are the colors he used to wear when he was competing.

I love elephants, they are my favorite. I love that safari ride thanks for taking us. That poor girl and that duck. I like ducks but I don't want one trying to take my pizza.

you're welcome! i don't like ducks so they would definitely be getting none of my pizza!

Animal Kingdom Lodge and Animal Kingdom -- my favorites! You got some awesome pictures on Everest -- I would never be able to take pictures on that ride since I am too busy worrying about whether or not I will live through it. :rotfl:

oh, i love everest pictures! i take them every time. now i don't take them during the big drop but the entire first half of the ride is picture worthy.

Great safari pictures! I feel for the little girl with the duck. If that duck was half as aggressive as the ducks at our park then it was really trying to get her pizza.

it wouldn't leave her alone! i was just glad it wasn't bugging us or i would have embarrassed erica! :laughing:


cool! thanks.

Gorgeous safari pictures! That hippo's so cute! :laughing: They're usually just floating around in the water so it's so cool to see them on land. Great Nemo pictures too! That little girl with the duck reminds me of my brother when he was little. He'd always be afraid of the ducks and birds coming for his food when we ate outside :lmao:

that hippo is what eli (our dog) would look like if we shaved him! :rotfl: tell your brother i'm 32 years old and i'm STILL afraid of that!

you two are so darn cute!

I wonder what Lance the dude on everest is missing.:confused3

I think Dawn was just glad the duck was pestering someone else!;)

What's with all the gorilla butt shots??

thanks, winkers....so are you! i think the everest guy is missing lance armstrong since he doesn't compete any more and those were his colors when he did. and you're exactly right about the ducks! ask erica about the gorilla butt shots - i can't explain those! :laughing:

Dawn and Erin, great update! I'm sorry you lost your lemonade Erin - almost like losing your ice cream cone.:sad2: I love the Simba shot.

What was the guy doing with his hands in your Yehti decor shot?:confused3

Thanks for sharing and MERRY CHRISTMAS!:santa:

thanks - but that's erica, not erin! i know - all my friends' names start with an A or an E so it's hard to keep up! ;) oh, and i lose my lemonade, not erica. i'm such a klutz! i was draining the melted part and it all fell out!

the guy was holding his hands up on EE. that was taken as we were going up the big incline and he was sitting in front of us, holding his hands up in the air.

I'm guessing the guy means Lance Armstrong since he kinda looks like a guy who rides a lot, and Lance isn't riding professionally anymore.

i'm thinking the same thing.

Yeah, an update!:love:

Merry Christmas everyone!

thanks! you too!

MERRY CHRISTMAS VandyFan!!! :santa:

Love the update, funny once again! :thumbsup2

thanks - i'm sure erica thanks you too!

Sorry you had a mean lady laugh at you. I'd be the first one to tell you if your shorts were showing or if you had food on your face. That's what a nice person would do!:)

thanks! i appreciate that.

Hey Dawn and Erica!! Hope you ladies had a Merry Christmas!!

Dawn-I swear it sounds like you and I are so alike! I would have turned around and said something to the lady as well. Especially if I saw her pointing and laughing at me. Chad and I are a perfect match. He is the one there to calm me down and just tell me to chill (but in a nice way!):lmao:

that's how ray and i are! he's so mellow and hardly ever gets mad at ANYTHING. and sometimes my temper gets the best of me. i'm glad here's there most of the time to chill me out.
 
great update and pics.

how obnoxious of that woman and your dress. glad you said something.

Hope you had a great holiday.

i know! i'm glad i said something too. :laughing:

Dawn, I have this very same shirt! Got it from the Disney store at Gwinnett Place Mall when it was going out of business. I know I am way behind but I haven't been on the DisBoards in 2 months and I am trying to catch up while I am watching football.

Go Falcons!

erica bought me that - i'm sure she got it at the disney store in nashville!

I'm seriously offended here!! *wink*

Since you just love...lol...GA so much, I know you would be happy to know they were in Disney today. Seriously though, they were playing mini-golf at Winter/Summerland with low income children from the area.

that's cool! it's not the team i dislike so much - but 90% of their fans! you know what i mean. and you're not one of the ones i loathe! you're a nice UGA fan. one of the few!

Yeah! I finally caught up!! It took me all afternoon and evening b/c I am on my old, slow laptop, as opposed to my faster PC, b/c I was reading and watching football at the same time. Oh, I also slipped a nap in..lol. Great TR so far! Next I need to go over and read your Christmas TR Dawn. But I should probably do that another day and go to bed! Anyway, I should be able to keep up a little better now that college football is almost over, NFL is down to just the playoff games, I hate basketball, don't watch hockey, and baseball doesn't start for months...lol!

thanks for reading! honestly i'm glad football is almost over. i like it but i'm not a sports nut like you and erica and i need a break from ESPN!!!! thank goodness ray doesn't watch basketball or baseball. well, he watches them, but he's religious about football.

I'm glad you said something to that women too Dawn! Maybe, just maybe next time she'll think about it before she does something like that again.

Good for you!

i hope so! i doubt it though. some people never learn.

pixiedust: HAPPY NEW YEAR VANDY GIRLS!pixiedust:

you too!!!!

Hello Dawn and Erica, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Just getting all caught up, you guys look like you had so much fun!!! Can't wait for your Boma report. Your AKL photo's so far were AMAZING and it has me looking forward to your trip so much!!! Thanks, can't wait for more!:thumbsup2

thanks, lesley! i will get the boma report up in a couple of days, i'm sure. i have no work right now and i'm bored so i'm sure i'll work on it tonight and tomorrow.

Peep in the background.

that's exactly what i said!!! :rotfl2:

Great pix of the hippos.

i'm thanking you for erica because i'm pretty sure she took it!

CONGRATS!!! To Vandy and their bowl win! I know you ladies had to be excited!

Alan

thanks so much! i was definitely excited but probably not as much as erica since she was THERE! (can you tell i'm totally jealous???)
 
:cool1: CONGRATS! on the football win! :cool1:

But ..... I was more thrilled to see the Logan's Roadhouse sign!!! You are so lucky, that is one of my favorite restaurants. I went to the one in Myrtle Beach this past year and it's still as good as I had remembered. Yum! ;)

What a fun parade, I can't wait to see it in person.

MeMom that poor teenager was just wanting to eat his food, that was probably cold after sitting on the ground. :laughing:
 
Great parade pics........I LOVE that parade!!! :thumbsup2

Congrats on the win, Vandy Girls! :yay: Unfortunately, my team lost to Georgia. :rolleyes:
 
Love Love Loving this report!!! We have never stayed for the AK parade, but since we are STAYING at AKL this year we definitely will, and after seeing those pics we will for SURE! Thanks. Can't wait for your Boma report!popcorn::
Happy New Year!!!!
Lesley
 
Love the parade pictures!!!!!!!!!!! It looks so nice there!!!
 
Oops! Sorry for the name mix-up. I don't know why I did that.... reading too many TRs I think!

Love the Jammin' pics!:thumbsup2 I haven't seen that yet - DH is kind of anti-parade, but I think I'll insist - I think he'd like this one!
