A Very Verklempt Vacation - Hey watch that inner tube updated 11/16

Great update - love the room and the view!

I haven't been to 50's Prime Time in a while - you've got me wanting to go back!
 
room view looks great!! and i'm so glad you saved that poor girl from the biting ducks!! poor g-luv! :hug: :lmao:
 
I'm getting back on the wagon with your TR after being at Disney for the past two weeks. You had a great view from your room at BCV. I definitely think you just know where you belong when it comes to DVC. We own at AKV and we stayed partly at OKW this time...nice, but glad we don't own there. There's definitely a resort for everyone. We haven't done BCV's yet, so I had no idea they were smaller-good to know for future reference. Kelly looks like she's having such a good time at 50's PT. I hope she's that happy all the time-if so, your a lucky aunt. Such a cutie! :cutie:
 
With our luggage delivered we headed out to the dock to catch the S-L-O-W boat to the Studios. After a nice, but S-L-O-W boat ride we arrive at the Studios.
That boat ride is freaking ETERNAL when an ADR is involved, isn't it?!

I proceeded to give Kelly a history lesson. I showed her the encyclopedia set and explained that ‘s what her father and I used as kids to do research as there was no computers or internet WAAAAAY back then.
:lmao: Gramma keeps wanting to buy Leo a set of Encyc. Brittanica for "research" and I have to keep explaining that he'll be doind all that by computer!

At some point during dinner I think someone sent a spitball across the table.

Can’t quite recall who that was now.
Yeah, I can't imagine. :rolleyes:


The woman behind us wants her daughter to get up close and personal for a pic. The daughter wants nothing to do with it. Mom is like, they don’t bite.

Um, excuse me, I would like to share a story that happened to my friend over at Epcot a few months ago.
:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
 

With our luggage delivered we headed out to the dock to catch the S-L-O-W boat to the Studios. After a nice, but S-L-O-W boat ride we arrive at the Studios. At this point I was fumbling with something and wasn’t paying attention. Kelly finally gets my attention and points out that we are walking past Jo and her family as they are running to catch the S-L-O-W boat. I quick wave hi and that was about that for that Focker encounter.

I'm sorry - was it slow? :rotfl:

Mom is like, they don’t bite.

Um, excuse me, I would like to share a story that happened to my friend over at Epcot a few months ago.

:rotfl: I love that we both took duck pics for Jen. Love ya, Jen!

Next up – I find Waldo

Hey, that's MY job. :headache: :lmao:

Nice view! :thumbsup2
I called bell services again, no luggage and it was now 4, I had been told guaranteed delivery by 3pm.

I called again at 4:30. Oh they would call the GF to see what happened.

I remained calm but now I was getting annoyed, it finally showed up as Kelly and I were about to head out for dinner. It was now about 5:30. We had a 6:10 at 50’s Prime Time.
:headache:

We waited for a few in the living room. I proceeded to give Kelly a history lesson. I showed her the encyclopedia set and explained that ‘s what her father and I used as kids to do research as there was no computers or internet WAAAAAY back then.
Really? I didn't realize you're that much older than I am. :rolleyes1
:lmao:

Can’t quite recall who that was now.

You know maybe it was 2 spitballs.
:eek: Mo, I'm shocked! :rotfl:


Terrible what time does to one’s memory.
No comment. :rolleyes1
I told her how G-luv got bit on the butt by one. You should have seen them back away from that duck faster than, well, it was faster than I scarf down a piece of puffy goodness.
OMG, that's funny! :lmao:

Next up – I find Waldo

Boy, more Fockers found Waldo than I realized... CE, LL, and now you! ;)
:rotfl2:
 
ok caught up again.

nice view you have in the room.
 
Hi Maureen :goodvibes
Guess you have been very busy since I haven't seen you on DIS in a while.
DH and I are going to see the Jets next month but in Nashville :rolleyes: which is just not the same.
 
Yes, I did not forget about this and thanks for those who still want to read along, I will try to finish this before the year is over;)

Now for those who waited patiently...


Ahh, no rain, bright sunny, HOT skies for today. Today we were off to Epcot, my favorite park. We arrived at International Gateway in time for rope drop. As the rope dropped we headed off for Soarin. We quickly got on (after requesting top row as this was Kelly’s first time on Soarin). Unlike Murph, who wasn’t impressed, Kelly was. :thumbsup2

Next we headed over to Nemo.

I don’t know what was wrong with me , but at one point I was so startled I screamed:scared1: . Next thing I knew the baby in the shell next to us started crying. Oops.

We spent some time exploring The living Seas before heading out to SSE. On the way I spotted a couple of TFW lanyards, OMG TE and Waldo, Tracy’s parents. We stopped to hug and chat for a few as they were heading to Sunshine Seasons for coffee. TE had let me know that Tracy was in Character Connection. I asked Kelly if she wanted to get some pics and was all for it. Well, until she saw the line. So we popped into to say hi to T and then were on our way.

After SSE we went to Mars, I decided to go with the green side and I think Kelly was a bit peeved. I was still a bit gun shy after HM on the first day.
It was soon time for our 11:30 GG ADR. Believe it or not I had never eaten here and was looking forward to it. We headed back to the Land and checked in a few minutes early. After a short wait our buzzer thingy went off and we were shown our table. Now thanks to the Dis I did know there were 2 levels and I figured since I scored this ADR late in the game we would be on the upper level.

NOPE

SCORE, lower level.

We settled into our booth and soon our waitress was there taking our drink orders.

Soon the characters started coming around. Oh boy did they.

Kelly and I were getting the cameras ready, I was getting her camera out of the back pack so my back was slightly turned to her. As I turned around there was this big hairy thing coming over her shoulder.

I screamed.

Silver ware flew.

Mass chaos ensued.

And when the silverware landed and calm was restored, Chip laid on the floor.

Not moving

Not a muscle.

OMG, I killed Chip.

Yep, I’m a Chip killer.

He just laid there, flat on his back, in front of us, not moving.

At first.

Then there was some movement.

So I apologized

And called him Dale.

Oops

He recovered to take a pic with Kelly and sign her autograph book.

Where he took the opportunity to trash talk me.

Yes I was trashed talked by a chipmunk.

How embarrassing.

I mean really who else goes to happiest place on earth to have a chipmunk trash talk them.

It’s almost as embarrassing as getting bit on the butt by a duck.

Some other lunch pics

After lunch Kelly wanted to go swimming so we headed back to BCV to change (BTW still referring to me as the Chip Killer, made me sound like one of those stories you see on Dateline or 48 hours, KWIM). I thought we were heading to SAB, no she thought it was too crowded the day before so we went to the DVC quiet pool and had a very relaxing afternoon.

Around dinnertime we headed to Beaches and Cream. There were no tables available, so we sat at the counter as there was plenty of room.

Now while I still enjoyed my cheeseburger, I think they have lost a little of their magic.

We headed over to Epcot to explore WS and to try and by Glue wien at Germany for Murph.

Unfortunately they don’t sell it this time of year(not surprised since it is a wine you drink when slightly warned up)

The clouds didn’t look to friendly, or as Kelly said, they looked angry. We decided to head back to BC before we got soaked. We stopped at B&C for some yumminess on the way back to the room first to call it the night.

Next up Redemption and Forgiveness
 
ETA: FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, everyone's finding Waldo! :goodvibes

You killed Chip. :sad2:

And I thought I liked you...

























;) :rotfl:
 
Loved the update :lmao: :rotfl: :lmao:

Poor Chip! So I have to ask how did you like the food at GG? I want to take Thomas there because CHip & Dale are his favorites, after Mickey of course. Last time we ate there in 2003 it was awful :sick: but I'm hoping it improved. Then again I don't eat Catfish.

Kelly looks like she is having a good time exploring Epcot. Sorry B&C has lost a bit of the magic. Waiting for more popcorn::.

Ellie said I had to tell you that she saw a baby pug today and he was very cute :goodvibes
 
OMG! I've been waiting for this installment! It's soooo much better in print! :rotfl2:

And the autograph book? OMG!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :lmao: :lmao: :rotfl: :rotfl:
