ABD 2010: Disers Go West - Let the Fun Begin

[NC Belle]

Hey Frances.....are you looking for trouble?

Who me?

This is what happens when 11 ABDers (and 1 wannabe) try to get on Space Mountain together.

Shouldn't Tom change his name to "Im too excited not to stalk the ABD group"....

We're going to have to try to take our chances with the tram tomorrow - if we get there early enough, we plan on just walking over. That is an option from the garage. It's only a half mile and we can do it in 10 or so.

See you folks bright and early!!!!

Now come on Nancy, isn't there an idiom about that...the pot calling the kettle black? You know I love ya.

Tom, we now know how many DISers it takes to scrub a space mission.

We also know how many are necessary to ground one of the Nemo submarines!

I blame Steakhouse 55.

See you shortly.

AWESOME!!!

I don't know how else to describe the past two days. From Imagineering to the Disney Archives to Club 33 to seeing the Dreams Suite it has been two jammed packed days. Our Guides, Jaime, Mike and Joey have really been making sure we have a great experience. Breakfast at Club 33 was super. John and Kevin really pulled out all the stops to make that a once in a life time chance.

Two words about Pete- POWER SHOPPER. I thought I could do some damage is a short period of time. Pete is the Master.

More later. I'm heading back into the park. I have 5 Fast Passes to use

Today has been beyond anything I ever expected and this whole trip has been an amazing experience!

After an unbelievable breakfast this morning at Club 33, we were off to some behind the scenes coolness for several areas within Disneyland. No photos were allowed in these areas. After that we had lunch at Big Thunder Ranch.

After lunch we were in for a couple of cool treats: riding in the Lilly Belle train car and getting to go inside Walt's apartment! I must admit I was not up to speed on the Lilly Belle train car so it was a really cool experience to get to ride in it and learn a ton about it's history.

Next was Walt's apartment and I have to say that this was an experience full of emotion for me. Knowing the history of that apartment and the true meaning of what that lamp in the window stands for really hit home.

After that we got a real surprise and got access to the Dream Suite!

Pictures cannot sufficiently convey all that encompasses the experience of this trip. I am completely blown away and hope that every person that holds Disney in their heart gets a chance to experience this.

Nikki---I'm surprised that you didn't ask Kevin if he got you a pen from Club 33.

Hey Frances.....are you looking for trouble?

Who me?

 

[eeyorelvr09]

Glad to see everyone having a good time. I hope that Nikki and I get to see Walt's apt and eat in Club 33, although not as exclusively as you all did. You deserve it. You all put in the hours to get you where you are at now. Live it up!

Getting in Walt's apartment would require us wearing black and carry flashlights. I don't think Pete would appreciate our causing that much trouble. lol

Hey kids!

It's been a busy day or so. The highlight of today was seeing the inner workings of Soarin. We got to behind the "screen" while they showed the film to the other half of the group. I will never look at that attraction in the same way again. This was my second favorite thing of the tour behind Imagineering.

Tonight is out farewell dinner. Can't believe it's over already. A number of us are staying for a few extra days. Looking forward to seeing some more of DL at a slower pace.
