CINDERELLA!!!! The Vandy girls are BACK!!!**UPDATE 8-8-09! THE END-FINALLY! Page 83**

Thanks for the info. I bet she turns off her lights after she gets past main street, so you can't see her when she comes in for a landing. I've only seen her do her thing once. Pretty cool. That wire is a lot higher up than I realized. Like 150 feet or so.

i can't remember if you read my TR from last april/may but ray got a pretty decent video of her flying and they do turn out her lights before she lands. go here to see it. just scroll down and you'll see the video.

[Eeyore's Tailfinder]

erica was going to write this installment but we figured since my precious tonga toast is featured that i'd do it and she can do the next one. i didn't realize when we figured out a stopping point for me how many pictures we took that day. so get ready for a long update!

so we've come to the last full day of our trip. always so bittersweet!

we had an ADR this morning at kona cafe so i could get some of my beloved tonga toast! i can't remember the exact time but i'm thinking it was arond 9:30. we drove again and parked at the poly.

we ordered some kona pressed pot coffee. i had wanted to get this when i was here last year but neither of my travel companions drank coffee so i didn't. i was glad erica wanted to share it with me. it was SO GOOD!

as we were sitting there i looked at the table next to me and recognized hayley (eeyore's tailfinder) and her boyfriend els, who was actually her fiance at this point. i just didn't know it! i went over and introduced myself and they were really friendly. it was the last day of their trip but they were heading out on a disney cruise so actually their fun was just beginning. she's doing a dining review which i think is sort of in limbo right now but here's the link if you wanna check it out:

after that our food came. tonga toast..........YUM!!!!!

Yeah! We're famous It was so weird to be sat next to each other! I kept telling my DF, I'm sure that lady's looking at me Yet she looks strangely familiar....

It was really nice to meet you! And you were very brave in coming over to introduce yourself!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY VANDYFAN

Thanks! I know we talked about this on Dawn's thread but I really have NO idea how I missed this here

HI Scott

Yeah! We're famous It was so weird to be sat next to each other! I kept telling my DF, I'm sure that lady's looking at me Yet she looks strangely familiar....

It was really nice to meet you! And you were very brave in coming over to introduce yourself!!

I am glad we met also and that Dawn realized who you were. That was wild that we ended up at the table next to you. And it's to funny you were telling your DF that you were being 'watched'


***I mentioned this on Dawns thread but my laptop has gone kaput for right now. The internal fan has died and it will NOT work . So until that's up and running we definitely won't be able to finish the TR b/c I don't have any pictures . And to think I was going to actually start an update Sunday night .....oh well maybe a lot of people aren't wanting this to end ***

 

[MeMom]

Sorry about the computer troubles, but it's okay. I'm satisfied with just sitting here looking at the Tonga toast and ham picture for a while.
It looks so good!

You guys really have the luck in meeting DISers. You have just happened to run into several, haven't you, along with some planned meets?

Not only is it that I have the trouble.....and not to mention I'm glued to my laptop....I HATE spending the $$$$ on it also , especially since it's just over a year old....crazy!

Well Dawn has met many more than I have. But besides you guys, we set up our dinner with Glenda and ran into Tiggerbell (I think that was her name) and then Dawn noticed Eeyore's tailfinder . I think she noticed a couple more but I don't think we spoke to them. Dawn you can correct me if I'm wrong.

the only other ones i can think of kelly (philadisney) on maelstrom and then kat (hockeykat) but that was a planned meet at PI, although we did see them twice the next day at epcot without planning it.

by the way, do you want ray's e-mail address? he could probably tell you the cheapest way to get that fixed!

 

[DisneyLaura]

I'm having computer problems too. I have a lot of pop ups which I thought was covered by my Norton's but apparently my online service provider doesn't upgrade that one anymore because it was orginally from another one they took over and now I have pop ups. I have to bring it to like Geek squad or something before I can download the new online protector thingy. Always something.

I'll send you the info by e-mail and you can see what he says

THANKS!!

I'm having computer problems too.

I'm sorry....I can relate

Yeah I did read that and saw the vid but I didn't notice her lights go off until I watched it again.

after we came out erica was looking around on the ground for the ring that used to be in the concrete

Does any one remember this. I have a picture of it somewhere.

I've never seen that one, but there is a hidden mickey on the table, I think where the ghosts are dancing made out of of 3 plates. The story is that, there is an ongoing thing between the CMs and the imagineers...some of the imagineers take it away, and the CMs put it back later. It just depends on when you ride.

Soooo, what happens after the AK parade?

okay.....i know we haven't updated in awhile but we have since the AK parade!!!!!!!!

erica's computer is sick right now - as soon as it is fixed we will update. it's her turn to update and i don't want to deprive her of that.

 

[LISAMWDW]

Get well soon Erica!

Update....we have found the part, but have not received it yet. I will let you know more as I find out.

Get well soon Erica!

Thanks Lisa....I am not sick (at least not anymore ) but my computer is very . It will not even turn on

But we have our desktop so that's why I haven't been crazy busy working on getting it up and running again. Plus I've been trying to go the cheapest route which means it might explode . I'm going to forget what those pictures looked like when I get my computer back

I didn't copy or get those pictures on to our desktop b/c I think we took over 7GB of pics....crazy stuff. And I just never took the time to transfer the files

 

[End_User-X]

okay.....i know we haven't updated in awhile but we have since the AK parade!!!!!!!!

Oh, sorry. I usually start at the index on the first page, and the latest is AK parade part 2.

Oh that's my fault.....will....fix....now......

SORRY

 

[End_User-X]

No problem! Thanks.

 

[VandyFan10]

that's all for now! erica will pick up here with the parade and hoop dee doo, which was an absolute blast!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

Wooooooo Hoooooooo.....I got my computer fixed and it's back in my lap! And it did not cost me anything but the part and a sweet 'thank you' gift I got for the wonderful man (my mom and dad's neighbor) that helped in fixing my computer!!!

So......where were we????

Oh yea....on to the Parade. Now I've seen this parade before but only in bits and pieces. I think maybe I had seen the whole thing but only with it just floating by me while I was thinking of something else or where I was headed next. I had never searched out a spot for it. So I was very excited to see it completely!!
One thing I remember for this parade.....it was HOT!!!!

BURNING HOT!! We were sweating like pigs

by the time it got there and since we were running late to a spot we didn't have to wait long......but it was HOT!!!!!

Here are the pictures that will tell the story

We ran upon this 'pre'-parade part. I'm pretty sure this was to promote the DVD coming out. We took pics but didn't stay here to watch.

Dawn's favorite

We walked across the bridge towards the liberty tree and stopped on the right hand side to watch the parade

The Master of Ceremonies.....

[VandyFan10]

My Favorite!!

A friend of my boss's daughter plays Mary Poppins....and the evil witch
not sure if either one of these is her.....

Maybe her ????.....
