Yay! I actually made it before the end of this TR. Hard to believe it's been almost a month since I last posted, but life definitely intervened with good and bad.
To answer a question you probably forgot you asked: No I didn't dive Disney, but I volunteered as a diver at the aquarium in the North East for a number of years. On the Dolphin question, yes they can be territorial but also playful. At our aquarium they were very protective of the dolphins. They didn't want you to even look the dolphins in the eye because they didn't want them interacting with anyone but the trainers.
To whoever wanted to learn to scuba dive: come see me! It's what I do for a living (well it doesn't really pay well, but luckily DH has a real job!
Warning: Blatant pity party ahead, skip unless you wish to award pity points!:
So I've been on a rollercoaster this past month, which is kinda like Disney, right?? (No, not really even close). The month started with the click, click, click of the coaster heading to the top as we spent the first part of a 4 day graduation weekend extravaganza at DS1's college graduation. So many great things going on and seeing all his wonderful accomplishments at college.
Unfortunately what goes up must come down.....my dear dad passed away while we were celebrating graduation. So although we still had several days of "ups" at the college, we also had to face the hugh "down".
Then after we got home, we arranged to fly to AZ for the funeral. Headed to the airport. After waiting until an hour after scheduled take-off, we went "uppity, up, up". Unfortunately then we went "downditty down, down" back to original airport due to computer problems. After 6 hours, two planes, multiple crew changes, it was all over and the plane never left the ground. We would not make the funeral, no way, no how.
OK pity party over. On to additional smoozing for points:
Thanks for the history lesson! And just in case you are awarding additional points, I've been to St. Mark's square (the real one, not the Disney one).
My DS2 is just like your dad--he's from Germany (he was born there when DH was stationed in Germany and we were living there).
I spy "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" but that's a reference to that other park. Still an all time favorite book!
And for your regular points for guesses (really did the above count for anything other than whining (which isn't allowed at Disney)?:
Dinner: Everyone is guessing Mexico, so I'm going to guess Electric Umbrella just to be different
Character: Duffy doing the Can Can with guests (if I'm going to make a crazy guess, might as well really go crazy)
NO to Illuminations
And just to be crazy-er: 0 minutes because you went back to see MK for Wishes rather than going back to your room.
Oh, and one last feeble beg for points due to another connection of things we have in common. Not only did we celebrate DS1's college graduation, but I also have DS2 who just graduated from HS! See I'd comment on the minute size of our globe, but since that might remind you of that hated (or isn't it hated anymore) ride at MK, I'll just say, gee we seem to have a lot of common experiences, don't we!
