Scott & Vinny: 13 days of Magic..UPDATED *NEW* 3/4 (The End)

[Lesprivate]

I love riding Soarin no matter what row we get but they difinitely need to fix the screens. I have never been through the regular line only the fastpass line.

AirSupply was awesome.

I've been lurking and reading your report for a few weeks. Sounds like you had a great trip. I got to be the "chosen one" on Space Mountain. Made me feel super important ; )My kids loved Figment when we were there last May. I remembered it better.But it had been a long time between trips (20 years : 0 ) Can't wait to hear/read what you do next.

 

[tazdev3225]

Glad I can help. I haven't seen you on FB or here so I was wondering.

I've been on but for a few seconds at a time. We had to put our cat down the day after Christmas and I had the kids who are all sick so it's been a rough week.

I got to be the chosen one twice while we were there, once on Buzz and once on the Monsters Inc Laugh Factory. Why they needed one there I'll never know.

Soarin' is not a favorite of mine. I can only ride it with my eyes closed. I love Figment. I did that after you all deserted me the one day. It brings back happy memories of my son.

Vinny looks a little perplexed with his role as the "chosen one".

I have no idea why I took this pic.

Sometimes, you just take a random picture for the atmosphere - for what you are feeling right then. It may not seem special or significant when you look back at it, but it's just there for something you felt in that moment. You were happy to be there, there are pretty palm trees and flowers - that kind of stuff.

Well that was a fun ride. I thought the pics spoke for themselves. Too many?

Nope.

"The Chosen One"

Agreed about wishing they would fix the Soarin screen. How long could that refurb HONESTLY take? Maybe they'll do it after Test Track is back up and running.

OT: my favorite photo of our Adventures by Disney London/Paris trip was the one our guide took with my camera of himself, leaning on the top of my head. Everyone looking through the photos stops at that one and says, "huh?!" Whenever I see that silly picture, I smile and think of the fun we had on that trip and the special bonds we made!

I am so glad you are updating today. I am in bed surrounded by kleenex!! I know you aren't feeling well either but it would not hurt my feelings one bit if you do another update.

Sorry for no ohter update. I was feeling blah too.

We have done the regular line a couple of times.
Yes they were.

Welcome to the report. Vinny said he felt important too.
Wow 20 years is a long time.

Sorry for your kitty.
I guess to see if you got into the next showing.
Soarin' is so fun but sucks you have to keep your eyes closed.
Hey we didn't desert you. Okay maybe we did.

Nope.

Okay that sounds good.
I was definitely happy to be there.
Glad to hear it is not too many pics.

it would be nice. New scenes would be nice to.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year to you.

I left the resort around 4ish. Here is a pic of the bus all to myself.

My destination.

Hello Spaceship Earth. Please work next time for me and take my pic.

Oh how I love the monorail.

Walking over to my destination.

And here is my destination.

I love them. I had spoken to Jen and she said she wasn’t feeling well so she went back to the room. I saw the globe sitting and waiting to go out.

This pic was taken at 4:32.

The next one is at 5:34. The time in between was spent waiting in line and chatting with others.

Here is where I was sitting.

I loved the show. Wish it was longer though. I have no more pictures of the show but I do have the video of it. Pardon the shakiness and my card ran out so had to change so missed about 30 seconds. Otherwise I hope you enjoy.

Click here for video of the concert

Like I said I loved the show. After it was over I had to meet Vinny for dinner. He had stayed behind to wait for Aubrey and Ryan. Now originally we were to eat at Tutto Italia but we had changed to Turf Club.

I got there first and went in and checked us in and waited for them to arrive. A minute later and they did. We said our hellos and then we waited.

I am going to stop here.

Up next,

Dinner

 

[Lesprivate]

Air Supply was great and agree I wished the show was longer.

 

[MEK]

I LOVE this picture! It's awesome!

Sounds like the concert was awesome. Hanson was there when I visited. They weren't high on my list!

 

[scottny]

They should make them an hour long.

I LOVE this picture! It's awesome!

Sounds like the concert was awesome. Hanson was there when I visited. They weren't high on my list!

Thanks.
That would not have been high on my list either.

 

[scottny]

After our hello’s we were seated at the very first table (the walk was too much, LOL) and we looked over the menu.

I am not quite sure what everyone had so I will post the pics.

I know Aubrey and I had the salmon.

I would say Vinny had the steak.

This was my dessert.

Vinny’s dessert.

I also had a long island iced tea.

After our dinner we went to DTD.

And the destination is.

Nobody wanted to go up with me. I still went though.

I liked the new pics on the balloon.

Soon I was up in the air. I took video of it. You will first see Illuminations and then you will see Wishes. I caught the ending of both. I will admit I stayed in one spot (I had Hong Kong going through my head) but it was still fun.

Here is the video of the ride. http://youtu.be/uNwFAhDVfS4

After my ride we went towards the Marketplace.

This was our main destination.

We had to get Aubrey a ticket. We wanted to get her the DVC PAP but we could not so we ended up getting her the Florida AP. I do hope she uses it.
After this we went back to the resort. We had an early morning coming up.

Up next,

Um no, I specifically asked for Wednesday…. 

 

[tazdev3225]

Catching up. I think they should make all of the Eat to the Beat concerts longer. Boyz II Men was too short also. I am kind of glad I missed Hanson. My daughter LOVED!!!!!! them We drove to WDW when she was about 13. Picture 16 hours in a car listening to MMMBop over and over and over. Maybe that was why my son was sick to his stomach the whole ride down and back.

Dinner looked good although seafood is not high on my list. The steak I had there was the best I had all week. You spent a lot of time at DTD. Glad you finally got to go up in the balloon. I'm REALLY glad I didn't go up in the balloon.

 

[Lesprivate]

The balloon is scary, I could never go up in it. Dinner looks delicious I have to try that restaurant.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

ride looks fun at night and cool that yo ucould see the fireworks.

was that music piped in from the the balloon or from the marketplace and just traveled up?

 

[AnnaS]

Thanks for the great video. Looks really cool and a lot of fun especially at night with fireworks going off. Good for you for going up alone Scott!!!!

We love the Eat to the Beat Concerts - we hope this October we get to see new entertainers for our week.

 

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

Agreed that the concerts can be a bit too short!! I guess that's why they have 3 shows per day though!

The balloon...I think I'd stay on the ground, but that does sound like fun!!!

 

[pas130]

Happy New year Scott!!! I'm all caught up!!! Love air supply! We caught night ranger last year, they weren't bad at all
