Stop staring at me Phil! A Vinylmation stalking(with a side of *sparkle*)9/19 TR END!

I LOVE Tim's Beverly face!! He looks like "why did you make me do this, Shannon?"!!!

All of your pictures are fantastic! I guess you and I are both crazy-- no matter how late we get back we always get up for rope drop the next morning.

It looks like you had a great time!

[afwdwfan]

I'm glad that you're introducing Tim to EPCOT the right way... Soarin', Test Track, Beverly!

I'd be exhausted after that first day. I'd definitely still make myself get up and be at rope drop but I'd be tired. I hope it doesn't catch up with you later in the week.

I can't wait to read about your meal at the cellar.

The front row on Test Track is the best. Though I was kind of disappointed that they took away the brick wall (I think? I seem to remember a brick wall and it wasn't there when we rode).

We didn't do Club Cool; we've gone to the Coke place in Atlanta and have heard that Club Cool doesn't really compare at all. Is there other things in there besides the soda machines? Maybe I'll just save it for a Food and Wine trip to truly get the international snack experience

[KatMark]

Oh my....I am over the expression on Tim's face after tasting the Beverly.

What a great update.

And, as we have a busy weekend, I wanted to wish you a

They take the Test Track picture at such a weird place in the ride, it's too bad they don't take it when you're racing around the track! Everyone always looks bored in those pics!

So Tim didn't like the Beverly? Glad he tried it for you, even knowing it wouldn't be good!

Ahhh, I miss the Food and Wine festival! I wish I could go for 2 weeks, just to eat everything at those booths!

[amazingact21]

Aaahh, Tim's expression over the Beverly is priceless! He just has this "what the...." face.

It sounds nuts...staying up late then waking up ridiculously early, but I completely understand because Alex and I do the same thing. You can sleep later...when you're not at WDW!

Those pork sliders from Hawaii sound sooo good. I keep kicking myself for not trying one.

GASP! DR. FACILIER!!! That's amazing! I had no idea he was in the parks! And I love that Gaston was out too. That's my hubbby's favorite villian. In fact, his DIS member name is Gaston something...can't remember he only posted like 3 times

Glad to hear he liked Soarin'. I completely understand what you mean by relaxing. The sights and smells of the ride is so comforting and it gives you a break from all the rushing about in the park. It's a good breather ride.

Mmm, the tuna sensation looks SENSATIONAL!....bear with me, i'm tired

Dr. Facilier was really spooky in person, loved him!! I think he is only out during MNSSHP...not sure though. Gaston is hilarious in person...Tim and I actually met through the disboards but he mostly lurks and doesn't post

The music and the smells on Soarin' just make me smile! The tuna sensation IS sensational

That's usually what he is saying

We were so determined to see everything possible during that trip...later in the week we threw in the towel we were exhausted!!

I know I really hit him with the good stuff right away that morning!! I don't know why but I tried Beverly again too..ick!!

It really caught up with us later in the week...but the crowds grew as the week went on, so it was a good decision to do all the big stuff first thing in the trip

Hmm I dont know about a brick wall...

My best friend from college lives down in Atlanta...we were near the Coke place and I have seen the outside, but we didnt go in it. In Club Cool there is the soda machines and merchandise...but hey its free soda

I wish they took it when you first go outside...at least you would get an interesting reaction!

He expected not to like it, i dont think he realized how bad it truly is until he drank it

I LOVE the food and wine festival, I have a hard time touring EPCOT without it!!

He was so mad I didn't warn him more...he knew it was going to be bad, but he took a big gulp of it!

We go to bed so early at home, it was hard staying up late, but we did it!

The pork sliders were my favorite from the whole thing...we went back for more later!

Hey sugar plum

I am officially caught up and having a ball reading your TR! I have to say everytime I look at a picture of you.,. I see my friend Christie....I think you guys could definitely be related!

I hope you had an amazing holiday season

[ditsypixie]

Glad Tim liked Soarin'! It is probably my favorite ride ever! I am with you...it just relaxes me and makes me happy.

Love all the food and drink pictures...keep them coming!

[Captain_Oblivious]

Looks like the MNSSHP was a lot of fun. And you're doing a great job of giving Tim the EPCOT tour. Could you be any less excited on Test Track?

And the Beverly face is awesome!

Looking forward to Le Cellier...

[TanzUnited99]

Happy New Year!

Yay on meeting Dr. Facilier - love the shots of the two of you with him!

You sure lucked out with the characters Lol love what Lady Tremaine said to the person trying to spoil your pic!

I totally get waht you're saying about being tired but still managing to get up early when at Disney World!! It's one of the few places I actually didn't mind being woken up by the alarm!

Sounds like you both had a great day at Epcot...yay on Tim trying Beverly!

Happy New Year to you too!! I hope you had a great holiday season!!
We were really lucky to find all the characters in the hub area!!

I always tell myself I have to get up early, its not every day I'm at Disney!!

[Shannon84]

So I leave for WDW in 2 days!!! This trip is with my mom, I feel so bad leaving Tim behind, but my mom is super excited and she needs this vacation from work!!

I promise when I return next week I will be so good about updating this report in a timely manner..I am sorry it has been dragging on!!

[amazingact21]

I don't know if I'll be on the DISboards much tomorrow, so I just wanted to make sure I stopped by today and said:


Good luck at the marathon this weekend!!!!!

I'll be rooting for you, and I cannot wait to hear all about it when you return!


Also, I hope you have an awesome time with your mother at WDW. I know it'll be a little sad without Tim, but mother/daughter time is priceless and such a great memory-maker.


Enjoy!!!
