I think we're heading out to Belz today - DH hasn't had a chance to check out the outlet stores. No argument from me. I was surprised to see all the new merchandise since I was in last week but the luggage I had picked up was gone this time. And it was getting crowded, even here, more people than last week. DH eyed the Sorcerer's Apprentice costume and decided to purchase it. Very Cool - he says he's a "hottie" now. I purchased a few more items for Christmas stockings and thenwe went back to the room and ate a snack and headed out to MGM. DH decided that we should head over and get a fast pass for Rock n' Roller Coaster, one of his favorite rides here. I don't know why, I can hardly breathe when I get off of it. So, we grab our fast pass and head over to the Tower of Terror. I love this ride for some reason - and it seems that there were a few more drops this time around. After we finished TOT, we were still too early for Rock n Roll, so we decided to check out a few of the shops, and walk around to find a spot for the parade. I think this is the first time I actually watched the whole parade. Then it was time for DH's ride, I reluctantly tagged along. I'm not too sure about this - but here we go. It's getting to be a bit faster everytime we go on - and it's been a few times already on other trips. When we finally come to the end of the ride, I once again am a bit shaken - can't imagine why and it takes me a while to discover that I have lost my Christmas pin on that ride! Yuck - I knew I didn't need to go on this time around. After I pull myself together, it's just about time for the Osborn Lights. DH asks if I think it will be crowded - duh, - and yes it is... but I find if you take your time the crowd does thin out. So, I show him the storyboards that descibe the Lightshow and how it came about and we proceed to try and leisurely stroll our way around the backlot. I just love this - the lights just get you singing and laughing, and the hot chocolate isn't bad either, so I purchase another one this time around. Then, I decide it's time to get DH a moving - I don't want to miss my DIS meet at Wilderness Lodge. I drop DH off at Boardwalk so he can enjoy the ESPN, he spends a lot of time there on our trips, and I'm off to meet new friends. While rocking in one of the famous rocking chairs, I am trying to keep my eyes open for lime green ribbons. After 15 minutes of so, I spot one, and we get to chatting like old friends. The next thing I know, there's Snuggles and a whole bunch of others. I think there was about 8 of us that night, we pulled some couches together and everyone got to talking. We had a blast and the time went by so quickly and I had promised DH I would pick him up before 10:30. I was late, as usual, and he let me know. I told him that I was having so much fun that he was lucky I showed up to get him. A bit of silence and we drove back to the room.

Whenever they call me a dreamer, I think of Walt Disney and smile:)
 
I am sorry to hear you lost your pin on the RNR! I really enjoyed the DIS meeting that night. I am just getting ready to post my trip reports and I am enjoying reading yours. My DH and just myself are returning to WDW on Feb. 8th for 6 days! I can't wait since it will just be us! I will try to meet up with some more DIS'ERS! Thanks for posting!
 
It must be lots of fun to have a DIS meet at Disney. Who all did you get to meet? :)

Thanks for sharing your trip with us, iluvdisney. :)

I'm terrible with names and didn't write them down, but I do remember Snuggles and her family, Nutz4disney, and I can't remember her DIS name but Karen - who has a lot of pins, her guy, and I think it E79 who organized the meet and a friend of hers.
