I know I am late, but sometimes life gets in the way of dis time, (some good Christmas and a trip to Disney, some bad sick parents).

micandmin! Thanks for joining in. Glad you had a nice Christmas and I hope your Disney trip was fabulous. So sorry to hear that your parents aren't in good health. I can relate to that since my parents are elderly and are not in the best of health either.

So I think it's time for an update, but first some news on the college application front.
Nick's college acceptances are all in. He got accepted to 8 out of the 9 schools he applied to. The 9th was his reach school - Georgia Tech. He is currently deferred there, so we're really not expecting an acceptance. In a way I guess its a good thing because traveling to Atlanta is clearly logistically more complex than going somewhere within driving distance. He has been accepted to Virginia Tech, University of Md, University of Delaware. He has also received some nice scholarship offers to West Virginia University, and several smaller local schools - Rowan University, University of Scranton, York College, and Elizabethtown College. He will be studying engineering and he is somewhat torn between electrical and mechanical at this point. I think he will lean towards a school that has multiple choices of engineering fields. Although we recently toured York (which basically has no name recognition) and we were very impressed by the engineering facilities and the co-op program. And the machine shop. Very cool place. So now we are visiting/revisiting all the schools so he can make an informed decision. It's going to be tough to figure this all out over the next couple months. I am very proud of Nick and happy that he has so many choices. Actually too many choices! So on to the update......... Fantasy Follies Well, we made it to October 19th (Day 4). Perhaps its time to do a little recap. Here goes: October 16th - Arrival, the Ditch, and dinner in Epcot October 17th - Storybook Circus, Lunch in Epcot, and F&W October 18th - Breakfast with Tracy, DISmeet at the R&C, and MNSSHP This was our last day staying VWL, so we decided to focus all our activities around the MK resort area. For whoever asked whether I got up and ran, the answer is "yes". How do I know? Well, I took this pretty cool picture along the pathway to Fort Wilderness. ![]() The fog lifting looked so cool! Ou rpark plan this morning was MK. Cynthia mentioned rope drop. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen or I would have some pictures. As you can see, my memory of the morning events hasn't improve much. compared to the evening before. But I assure you - it DOES get better. We took the boat again. ![]() I just can't pass up an opportunity to photograph the ferry ![]() Our entrance time ![]() Not bad! But definitely not rope drop material! It's pretty obvious its a gorgeous day! ![]() How cute is he? ![]() I love this area early in the morning ![]() Must…. Stop…..For……Castle……Shot……. ![]() ![]() Where were we headed? Do you need to ask? Why here, of course. We needed to get our ride on! ![]() Not sure what the standby time was, but it was pretty much a walk on. Tried to get a few pictures, but there really wasn't much time. ![]() ![]() We got the coaster on the left. I think. …….. Oh No…..there's goes my memory again! Looks like I tried a couple cell pictures on the way out. ![]() ![]() Next stop was here……. ![]() But as you can see Fantasyland was not open yet! However, a little birdy (aka cast member) told us to come back in about 15 minutes. So I took a couple pictures ![]() Hey - is that a new attraction - ride the Bull Dozer? ![]() Without a clear plan, we walked here. We decided to pick up a FP to Peter Pan while we walked by. ![]() You can tell the crowds were still pretty low ![]() ![]() ![]() Here we had a light bulb moment. We originally had a very late lunch ADR at LTT when we originally had MNSSHP scheduled later in the trip. But then we canceled it. Cynthia decided to check her app and see if we could make a lunch reservation here. And guess what? Score! We got an ADR for 11:30 or 11:40! I guess we went in the Christmas Shoppe, or maybe not, and then we decided to head back to Fantasyland and……guess what? SCORE again! WE were in! On the way back ![]() And in ![]() Nothing like a soft opening to amp up the photo taking efficiency ![]() Neat! I have about 100 more pictures of this fountain, but since this is the first one I took, I'll post it. ![]() We hung a right and headed over to the Little Mermaid attraction with high hopes that it would be open. Continued in Next Post.........

Looks like a little PR filming was going on, ![]() Score again (that's called a hat trick) and we realized we were IN! ![]() More filming ![]() Entering the queue ![]() Going in ![]() Pretty ![]() It was a little challenging to get good pictures because the queue was "walking". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes its nice to have a few more people in the queue just to slow things down. I really try to be aware of slowing down too much to the point where I obstruct the person behind me. Looks like we are inside now……. ![]() "Well hello there beautiful" ![]() "Let me tell you a thing or two…." ![]() ![]() Clamshell alert ![]() ![]() Cute detail ![]() Hey - where'd you come from? ![]() We are obviously in our clam now ![]() ![]() Ariel - welcome to your own attraction ![]() ![]() ![]() She really looks so happy ![]() Continued in the Next Post.........

Scenery ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Can't you just hear her singing? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ursula really IS pretty unattractive. Just sayin' ![]() ![]() Woooooooooo…….Woooooooooo………What the HECK is going on to my fin> ![]() Guess I better just sit back and go for the ride… ![]() ahhhhhhhhh….. True Love! ![]() Wait….what's that I hear? ![]() There ain't nothing better than Happily Ever After……. ![]() ![]() Celebrate good times….Come 'on… ![]() ![]() ![]() So what did I think? I really liked it! It had just the right amount of everything - story, color, movement, visual appeal. It picks up where Nemo left off. Same concept - just 10 or more times better. Looking back I wish I had gone right back on it. I know there are so many details that I would have liked to see again. Back outside - where they were filming before….. ![]() ![]() Continued in Next Post.........

Your Hallowishes pics are very pretty! And I love the Photopass pics!
ETWB just doesn't appeal to me. I really dislike the idea of it. A friend of mine recently went and her daughter (who is 7) really disliked it as well. I am excited to experience the Little Mermaid ride though! It looks great! And for getting the LTT ADR!Best of luck to Nick on the whole college thing! Maybe Georgia Tech will come through! That's where my DH graduated from!

Congratulations to Nick! Sounds like he has a bright future ahead of him
I all the pictures from the Little Mermaid! They made me even more excited for May! Caitlin and I had already decided we have to ride twice in a row to make sure we catch all the details! Can't wait!
