I had one of the best nights of my life there. We had so much fun standing on tables, singing and drinking great beer. I got in the strong person contest, which consisted of holding your arm out straight while holding a beer stein. I did not win, but outlasted quite a few men, so I was pretty proud of myself. 
Now that would have been AWESOME! I am mildly annoyed at myself I didn't go down it, will have to rectify it next time.
I still haven't gone down either- this was my second stay- I'll have to work on that, too!
You had mixing issues, I have a headache looking at that listBUT you finished it off with some juice to balance it all out...well done!
A nickel tour AND a ride home. Really what more could anyone ask for! Fun end to the evening.
We were already having a fantastic time, and we just got started!!
YAY for sun, BOO for dead cameras. Well it's not DEAD if it is still taking pictures, over exposed or not butfor the new toy1
I do like the new camera sooooo much more- but I still have to fgure it out- haven't had time yet-
Yes, yes it is! I could live at OKW. No joke. Work at DTD, paddleboat to work. Oh wait, they won't let me go that far
LOL- maybe you could get a job working on a paddleboat stopping people from going astray all the way to DTD.
What a cute little mouseketeer!
He really was- the pics of him on facebook are adorable all the time!

This is my issue with pre-packaged parfaits persiod, I rarely get them anymore. Soggy granola seems to defeat the purpose! RF used to have them made to order but I've no idea of they still do. Probably not.
Fun morning!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so in love with Beach Club I have this issue with the idea of staying anywhere else. But OKW may be calling to me... Jimmy Buffett, turtle krawls...
I was once a BC girl and nothin' but- but I do love trying all the different resorts! I just make sure I alternate enough so I get some BCV time, too-
Epcot's F&G looks beautiful. I am so bummed I missed it this year. Vowing to get there next year!!
All by myself...
I woke up the next morning to El saying something along the lines of "Is that really the SUN?" Well that perked me up cuz all we had seen were grey skys.
Sure enough It was a Beautiful day! (Que U2)
BEST surprise, wasn't it?
Im sure we did a lil dance then got ready, El went to get coffee (she knows I am a vacation coffee and Kahlua girl.. what? The best part of waking up is Kahlua in MY cup!) While she was gone I got ready, and repacked my bags.
I felt like a world traveler with all my different resort tags LOL
LOL- you did make the tour, didn't you?
I was so bummed I couldnt ride the slide... lol and next time I see that Steve, Im so giving him a piece of my mind for stearing me wrong.
See- I just want to comment on everything with-
One day I want to do a resort hop vacation... no parks (well maybe not LOL) but just do a night at each place. Thats another SANS kids trip, or maybe when they are old enough to hit the parks alone while E and I sit by the pool and bar hop, well bar for me, lounge chair hop for the hubby LOL!
You're halfway there! It wasn't that bad moving ourselves- moving the whole family is a totally different experience. In California, we will be staying in 5 different places. Wish us luck!
After we walked around the resort and checked out the 'check in' area and Papa's Den (btw didnt know it was called that.. TOO CUTE!) El had a hot date with some mini mousekeeter. I was so upset that she would ditch me.. I mean really I come all this way from coast to coast, and invite myself on this trip for her to ditch ME geez-us lol jk... later she showed me the pics of Baby Reid, and well, I would have ditched me to hang out with that cute lil thang too!
Geez! It had been a long 24 hours! I needed a break!
She was sweet and said I was more than welcomed to go with her, and I thought about it, I mean I had already watched some kids I didnt know, from a school I didnt go to, from a town Im not from, march down main street... heck by now I was family and Peter's 3rd wife even LOL. But I thought that would have been a lil awkward for them. I bowed out and deceided to hit the park alone.
Peter's 3rd wife? Ok- that makes Joan the first wife, YOU the hot young wife, and me the crazy Chloe Sevigny one! CRAP!
My bus to Hollywood came quick after El's and off I went. I noticed that the cost of gas there was 10cents cheaper than when I left Cali. (this is another thing I do when we vaca.. take pics of what the cost of gas is LOL.. I'm odd like that!)
Are you sure you're 35? 'Cuz that sounds alot like what my dad used to do- in his 70's-
A few mins later I had arrived
I never get to walk into the parks, STOP and take pics of whatever I want. you know how it is with kids.. GO GO GO GO. So it gave me some time to enjoy the park and hit some rides.. YEAH BUDDY!!!
Yea- it is a big difference, going without the kids...you get to do what YOU want to do, instead of what THEY want to do-
Obligatory Hat Pic.. I read the rule book of the park you HAVE to take one, its a must lol
It is? I don't know if I have one! Geez!
It was maybe a 10min wait for me if that... and I was so excited to check out my pic.. but they werent working, I was so bummed. So I made up for it by hitting TOT. It said it was ONLY a 20min wait but I found I was in that line for about 35mins. There were TONS of school there too so I sort of fit in walking between 2groups like I was a chaparone.
We are DEFINITELY riding ToT next month- I am so bummed I didn't get to ride with you this visit! But those lines and school groups were NUTS!
Since El wasnt there yet, I deceided to see how Toy Story was doing... 60min wait .. um no thanks

It was a little weird being the only adult without kids in that picture que, but I soon got over it as I listened to a family behind me. I had to hold my laughter in because it made me think thats EXACTLY the kind of meltdown we have had before and it was soo nice for it to happen to someone else this time and I got to enjoy it while they were "THAT" family!
Basically to share the story, the dad wanted to take a pic of lil Jonny and lil Jane, but lil Jane was not having ANY of that. See she kept saying that lil Jonny was taking up all the room and there wasnt space for her to get in the pic. Well mom layed into lil Jonny and told him to give lil Jane some room. To which lil Jonny told them she's got lots of room. Lil Jane didnt like that and pushed lil Jonny out of the area all together and dad took the pic of precisious lil Jane while mom yelled at poor Jonny. Btw this continued thru each other the photo opp areas in the que, until FINALLY lil Jonny had enough, and on the last one he graciously let his lil sis go 1st to take a pic all alone, and just as dad was about to click the pic of their lil princess. Lil Jonny pushed that lil brat out of the way and had the biggest cheesiest smile there was in time for dad to capture it!
That's the family that came out when I went in! I don't think lil Johnny got in any trouble- but lil Janie was still squawkin!
Im not sure if lil Jonny got in trouble for that because then it was my turn to take a pic with the guys
El had got there just in time and was able to sneak in and take pics with me. (and I got them off photopass!)
Woody is telling us that he was girlfriendless
Buzz chimmed in that he was too... hint hint El
Is that what they were saying?????? LMAO- thanks for sending me a pic!!
You got a Friend in Me!
After we finished making a double date with Woody and Buzz, El asked if I wanted to ride Aerosmith again.. which promted me to say, "I dont care whatever you want to do, Im just HAPPY to be here!" ... lol
LMAO- that's what I'll be saying next month-
Next Up: THE BEST Hot Dog EVVERR, before we double than triple our group!
OMG- too funny!
I'm late in the game but getting caught up on your adventures.
SUBBIN!!
T.T.F.N.
Hi Ladies! I didn't see your updates! I'm glad the sun came out just for you! I'm sure it's because Laura was having all that snow.
Drea, I think your plan for resort hopping sounds great! You could ride those bikes around to work up a thirst for each ...Oh! Wait! You don't need to work up to it.OKW does look like a place to just sit and rock and sip mint juleps or whatever.
It is very relaxing- very quiet. I met a man there last time who had an autistic son- he said they always stay at OKW because it is the most laid back, and so works best, for their son.
Your TOT pic is funny - all those peeps are hanging on for dear life (which I would be) and you were just sitting there smiling with your camera up!
Oh how fun that Ellen photobombed your pic with the boys!You both look great, BTW.
While these lovely ladies were enjoying the sunshine ( that I promised to bring) I was up at the crack of dawn getting my back side to the MPLS airport. I live a bit north of Minneapolis so it is like a half hour drive. My flight was at 7 am so I figured I'd roll out of here at 5:30. Glad I did.
Remember that photo of the snow, yea it melted the night before and the road weren't in the best shape. I got in at 6. Not too bad until I saw the line at security! Whole line batman... I flew out of terminal 2, normally its in and out. Not today. The line was crazy long and I had to check a bag. I got behind the family that left their brains at home.
Thanks for sending that sun ahead! We really appreciated it!
But soon I was on the plane, watching more snow fall. Didn't matter to me. As a high school friend and another DISer gave me the idea of bring along alcohol.
Life was good. The flight was uneventful, especially after 3 of these. hahaha. I paid for inflight wifi so I was texting with the girls so I could hear about all the fun that was going on.
I have yet to fly on a plane that offers that-
I landed and soon was on the ME. I knew the girls were in Epcot so I was headed to AKL to drop my stuff off. I was met right away and wisked up stairs to check in. Hello they met we with this
I knew it was going to be a great day!
Ugh, totally failed at my first attempt quoting something on DIS.
Welp, nobody said I was a genius
Great start!! 
We will have to eat on the Strip as will not have a vehicle . I saw there is a MacDonalds in or near Harrah's which I now know is where we are staying . So that may be a good breakfast option as we will not be travelling far for that meal.. These guys love to eat. I see lots of buffets and I am sure we will try a few . I also have learned of LOTS of Free stuff to see at different hotels , and Harrah's has a Free Show BIG ELVIS!!!!
HOW DID I MISS A PODSNEL/DIS MOMS TR?!?!?
Oh well, I'm here now and caught up...proceed ladies - "Por Favor Mantengase Alejado De Las Puertas"
Thanks I will be with 8 Dev. Disabled so a drinking party is OUT
HELLLOOOOOOOOO Bill!!!!! So happy you found us! We had a blast this year-
LMAO, Rosie- I live with 1 Dev Disabled and that is usually why the drinking party BEGINS!!
That might not go over so well !!!
Drea has a theory about it- and I think she's right. Anyway, those school groups aof 200 teens getting on rides together was REALLY putting a damper on our ability to ride....only one solution for that-
And I thought they didn't notice all the planning I do !!!
My back is KILLING me.... I didn't do any weeding in June due to Cicada Invasion 2013, and I paid the price IN FULL today, lol- Happy 4th of July to the DisMom's! I will raise a glass later this afternoon in your honor.
Jill in CO
Another great update !!Was it Cheerleaders or just school groups ??? The girls said their Senior Class Trip is to Disney !!! Guess what they don't want to go .....cuz they say they overcharge them and Grandma gets better deals
Sounds like they sure do notice all the planning you do!
Oh what a fun update! Well except for the bazillion teen school groups messing with your ride mojo. I has NO idea those hot dogs existed, I just showed Evan the picture and we must try the Mac and cheese one in Dec! Seriously yum.
Almost as good as a slushie. Almost
