Congratulations to Nick. That's great.
Thanks Tina! Nick is so excited and motivated for this!
I'd say that's pretty impressive.
It does look impressive on paper, doesn't it?
I could see doing this, actually. Maybe not any other Orlando attractions, but just hanging out at the resorts, I'd be cool with that. One of my dream trips, actually, is Christmas week at AKL, possibly without park tickets. There's so much to do at that resort and the parks are crazy.
I never actually thought about a non park trip during Christmas, but that actually makes a lot of sense, particularly at AKL where there is so much to do. Now that I know about the sunset safari, I could totally see doing that. I would have no problem soaking in the ambiance of the AKL for a week!
Mark did this in July, I didn't. I hope I can in February. He said it was awesome. If not, I can always go in April.
You definitely have to check in out in February. It's a ton of fun!
That's terrible about the TSM FP line. Why, oh why, are the lines for the ride so crazy? I love that ride, but still...
It was controlled chaos. Thank goodness that the CM's were managing that line so well. I love that the CM's even got the FP's for each quest. So much more efficient!
I just think that is such a popular ride because EVERYONE can ride it. Every other ride will weed out guests, but this one is for everyone.
I really hope I get to do ToT at some point. The queue looks so cool, although it looks like a ride that would make me ill. I can get sick riding in regular elevators, so... But RnRC..that's a different story. I'd love to see that track, too.
OMG - you have to try ToT at least once. I don't like elevators either. I take the stairs whenever possible and ToT does scare me ( a lot actually), but once its over I get that thrill ride high. To get through the drop sequence sometimes I focusing on counting and that makes me less afraid. At least go through and see the queue. It's one of the best.
RnR rocks!!!!!
Thanks. Overall I am very happy with how the show went. It was a lot of fun!
Fun DIS meet! Looks like everyone was having a great time!
It was really fun to meet Mark, Julie, and the kids! It's fun to find a DISer right in my own backyard.
Love all the Disney touches in your new office!
:
I am having a blast decorating my new office. I have I am not overwhelming my coworkers with too much Disney. Is that possible????
Great pictures from DHS! You have such a knack for finding cool angles!
Thanks! It's so fun to go back and take new pictures of the same area. I have had my camera for two years but I am still rephotographing some areas with it.
Congrats to Nick for being named captain for next year! That's awesome! We named our two captains for this season, and one of the girls burst into tears because she was so surprised to be named. Made me teary-eyed, too.
Awww - that's a great story! It's even better when the child really appreciates the responsibility and doesn't just expect it. I really didn't know they were going to name him at the banquet. I think they usually decide closer to the start of the season. It was a nice surprise, that's for sure!
Have fun this weekend! Don't injure yourself any worse.
My neck is so much better today. I guess the spasm released. So embarrassing to admit that you injured yourself dancing, so I kept it on the QT last night.
Wow! What an update!
I feel like I got a tour of the streets of NY and the backlot which was a wonderful diversion from this cold,snowy morning
I was definitely on a row and took a ton of pictures after lunch.
Did you get a lot of snow? I find the DIS is a wonderful bad weather diversion. It definitely helps the winter months be more tolerable!
You have a good memory! Caitlin and I both did the movie scene 2 years ago (she was on the phone and I was the skipper) Caitlin also did it again last August and this time she was on the boat and let someone else get wet
FYI-if anyone wants to do this all you have to do is volunteer with the CM working the queue. It's a lot of fun and a great memory!
I thought so and looking at my pictures I actually can't believe that all that water didn't blow Caitlin right off her seat! Wow! It's a pretty impressive amount of water but perhaps its angled to really go "around" the victim.
I thought about volunteering, but I was too impatient to wait since a new tour was just starting. But I have to admit, I would have loved to see Nick participate.
Your tour pics are great and how cute is Nick in those ears!
Thanks!
I'm so glad Nick loves to try the hats on. I like the Indiana Jones the best! Should have bought that one.
I'm guessing the boys didn't join you for the DisMeet.
Well, there's actually a little twist in that story.
What a fun update! I think the backlot tour was closed the last time we were at DHS.
Nick looks cute in the hats!
Thanks! Glad you like the hat pictures. The last time I was on the backlot tour was in 03 (I think). I was definitely due to revisit it and I'm really glad I did. I enjoyed it.
Sorry your neck is hurting - I know how you feel! I have a lot of tight muscles in my neck and shoulder area and if I do stuff like dance it can really be a problem! I should have more frequent massages
but sadly, insurance won't pay! I might have to try chiro.
I try to pretend that I don't have neck problems and probably should get a simple neck xray to see if I have arthritis changes. If I sleep wrong I get tight neck muscles and I often get tight in the shoulders and the back of my head. Fortunately, my neck is 99% better today.
What is chiro?
I am glad you're enjoying the show though! Maybe you just need to stretch out before dancing!
That would probably be a good idea!
I keep forgetting that I'm not 20. Nick came to the show last night and he said the way I was whipping around no wonder I hurt myself!
I hope your neck is feeling better soon!!!
Thanks! It is so much better today. I am so relieved because I was starting to get worried about work tomorrow. I am just going to keep sleeping on a heating pad.
I always wish that we could skip that whole "pre-show" for the Backlot Tour...I mean, it's entertaining, but it's something we've seen SO many times!
You can, can't you?
Because I haven't done the tour in so long I actually found it entertaining, but I can see where it would get tired if you watched it every trip. And the tram tour is fun. I would love to go back to that costume area before the dump shop. That was cool!
I know that on Catastrophe Canyon, it's 70,000 gallons. (
Thank you youtube!!) (Around 3:14)
You and your youtube!!!! Thanks for finding that info! I knew someone would! Very cool! That is a heck of a lot of water!
