Well not really 
but Mike's name seems to bring on the crowd.( 
Mike!)
So I'm mooching and using and feeling no guilt.
(EDIT: the original title mentioned TR king DVC Mike) And by the way I can hold pompous for about - hmmm - five seconds.
Warning: I'm in an absolutely foul mood. So many of my pictures are damaged - a la the one below - or failing to even load. You know teasing you on the camera but not there on the computer. Serves me right for not buying another picture card. It did this for my NYC trip and almost sent me to the dark side when some of my favourites were damaged.
Of course they're never the crappy pictures. Of course.
This was one of my favourites. If not my favourite. Yes I realize I'm having a semi breakdown over a picture. And a picture of WDW ducks no less. Oh well.
So pre-show.
Just before leaving we went to my nephew's championship bball game - reving up for March Madness.
They're not the green team.
They lost. By two.
And this picture says it all. I don't care what anyone says - losing - it just SUCKS. BIG TIME! I didn't even try to cheer him up with WDW is within hours.
So for anyone who reads my TR knows we usually drive. And that we usually sleep in a Walmart parking lot.
Summersville WV is one of my personal favs.
Yes in a car - with layers of clothing - it's not exactly balmy in March at night halfway down the route - sleep beside the gorgeous RVs - just to torment ourselves more.
And yes I own DVC paid in full and sleep in Walmart parking lots. Mind your own business. 
But looky here. Look at THIS Walmart parking lot!
Scored it on Priceline's "name your own price". And boy did I name it. Four Points Sheraton. I'm addicted to that little roulette game. ADDICTED. Love it. It's my personal little computer game.
And we flew! WE FLEW!!! From Pittsburgh. I'm laughing because not from Toronto (they kill us with taxes) - not from Buffalo (they know we're all coming and prices go nuts for our March Break) but from Pittsburgh (lovely small intimate airport though 
). Pittsburgh always stays low. I ADORE flying. And I ADORE road trips. Such a toss up.
So down the 79 we head. I mourn my 79/US19/77 WV drive into VA and down the mountain into NC. HEAVEN.
Oh the view of that descent. And WV fuels my soul. Although the white steel crosses makes me feel like quite the sinner.
But someone was looking after us because there was severe flooding in WV that day.
Lord I don't know why I'm writing a novel here. I usually am all pics and few words in TRs. Hmmmm.
Excuse me while I talk to myself.
Back to regular programming.....
So get this. The rest of my clan was booked on a lovely late morning direct flight. Arriving in midday sun. Five of them. Booked by me. I was on a late night flight. Arriving in Florida "cold". Booked by me. Why? I wanted to cheer on my DIS friends in the WDW marathon the weekend before and couldn't figure it out and by the time I decided I couldn't swing it their flight had gone from $89 to $241. 
But I'm smart. I was not going to spend my day in the PIT airport. Nope. Let me figure this out. Snagged standby on an earlier flight and got in around dinner.
Arrived to this lovely Jambo Standard studio view for the first night before our Value one bedroom.
But I arrived to some disappointment that night.....

Im in!!
The plane before us to Fort Lauderdale was quite entertaining. 
Really made time go quickly. 
But thank you. 
And he told me to put my camera on "sports" or "portrait" and zoom right at an object up close and I can do it.
