Ace, Me, & the Guy with CP *An update on Bill Pg. 70*

I hope you do another TR too! Yours was excellent! Don't be shy to get in pictures! It does add to the magic, but I'm the same way.

I really don't like pictures of myself-I always ask Buzz, "Do I really look like that??" :scared: His response- "Yep." Every time I do a Disney trip, I start to think, I really need a new look!! Oh well.

I think you look great and you both look so happy in the pictures of you together-it really shows through and just makes me smile to see you both-having such a good time and enjoying life. That's what Disney is all about!

I know some people just don't get Disney-I think that's what attracted me to the boards. We can all share the magic and understand it! It's such a get away vacation. I literally leave all my problems at home. I could go on forever, but I won't! :thumbsup2

Btw, your posts were not long winded at all. I really enjoyed them and Bill's too! It was a great TR!! Thank you for sharing your trip with us!!

:hug: Linnie, you are a great person. I actually hope to have a new look before the picture snapping in November. I want to get away from the ponytail, but we will see.

You are so right about WDW being the get away vacation. It is heaven :cloud9: for us. We leave all the problems at home too. It is just amazing there, I have become addicted to it :yay:.


I am so glad I got the guts to do this TR (thanks for the gentle push KathyRN), everyone is so kind and wonderful, thank you for reading.
 
Hi Tracy & Bill - Thank you so much for sharing your trip with everyone! It was so nice to go along with you. :goodvibes I've really enjoyed getting to know you guys and hope you decide to do another trip report in the future!

Amy, you and everyone else on the TR are wonderful. I am truly touched :sad: by all the amazing posts. We have enjoyed everyone's replies so much. It is so sad to not be posting installments after this last one of Bill's.

You'll miss us so much that you'll HAVE to start a new PTR!! :rotfl:
 

Oh Tracy, I'm so sad!:sad1: Sad that your report is over, but overjoyed that you brought us along for the ride. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and I feel so fortunate to have "met" you. What do you mean IF you decide to write another trip report? You don't have a choice girl!!!! You have followers now, you're stuck with us! It's been great to get to know you, Bill and little Ace. PLEASE, keep us updated on you all!:grouphug: Love ya!
 
Hello again everyone!! Sorry I have been absent from our TR, I have been doing my internship for my Master’s Degree. I am working at a business that helps people with disabilities. I do background checks for potential applicants that want to work for people with special needs and I am also building a website for the business. Tuesday night I will go with a co-worker to a city council meeting to discuss the need for more housing for people with disabilities. I hope to have my internship completed my mid-May.

Thank you to everyone for reading. Tracy never imagined the trip report would get this kind of response we are very blessed to have “met” all of you.

As for my final thoughts on the trip:

1) Even though this made my 8th WDW trip, each trip has many different memories and I feel like I have been there for the first time again and again. The last 3 trips are my favorites because I can share the memories with Tracy. She appreciates Disney World the way I do :cloud9:.

2) I really did like Pop Century, it was so close to DHS. The cast members were very nice and the room was exactly what we requested with no problems. It was great to see CM’s at Everything Pop in wheelchairs

!!


3) My favorite new restaurant of the trip was 50’s Prime time Café. I loved the theming, it was a blast. My favorite restaurant because of the food was Capt’n Jacks. The twin lobster tails and the cheesecake were wonderful. My favorite restaurant we have been to before was O’hana. I love the meat and you can’t beat getting to see Wishes from the Poly :thumbsup2.

4) I never thought so many soap stars would actually take a moment or two of their time to talk to me and take pictures. It amazed me that some remembered me from last year. I know they meet so many people in the course of a year so it kind of shocked us.

5) As for the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party – AWESOME!!! What a fireworks show!! Of course, what a beautiful castle, the lights were amazing. The lights were a wonderful idea, but it doesn’t surprise me, Disney always makes things magical. I want to live there all my life, LOL. I never thought I would see snow in the Magic Kingdom :rotfl:.

6) On the upcoming trip I want to walk around and through the castle, for some reason we never do this :confused3 ? We also have never even walked all the way around Magic Kingdom, but that will change very soon.

7) We are going to see the Finding Nemo – The Musical, we have never seen this :eek:. We also want to walk through the queue’s of Exhibition Everest and The Tower of Terror even though we won’t be riding those rides.

8) Of course I will do more pin trading with the CM’s.

Speaking of my pins, I wanted to show you a couple of pictures. The first is my pin bag.

I had been eyeing it every time we walked past it in Everything Pop, but Tracy said that was crazy to spend that type of money for something to hold the pins in. Little did I know she ordered it the day we got home from Disney for Christmas. I got her the Laila perfume she liked from the Norway Pavilion.

Random pins:

As for upcoming things in our life, after my internship is done we have a couple things planned.

In June we are going to Nashville, TN to a chat club breakfast with Kassie Depavia :lovestruc , Blair from One Life to Live. We both fell in love with her at Super Soap Weekend and thought it would be fun to go somewhere before I had my ankle surgery.

We are also going down by Gaitlinburg, TN. My parents are almost done building their vacation home near Bluff Mountain. It should be completed sometime in late April. My dad built an elevator so I could get between the floors :thumbsup2.

I don’t know if Tracy will do a trip report again, she is addicted to the Dis, and loves reading all the trip reports so she probably will :lmao:. I do know there will be tons of pictures taken and unforgettable memories. Thank you so much for coming into our lives :grouphug: .
 
:hippie:
So glad I get to say hello to you.
I have really enjoyed this TR.
Love your pin collection.
I agree, you need to at least go through the que lines for EE and TOT. I do not ride the rides either but the lines are worth walking through.
 
Hi Bill - Thanks for adding your spin to Tracy's report. I'm so glad that I got to come along for the ride! Thanks for sharing with all of us! :goodvibes
 
Thanks for posting your final thoughts Bill! It is always great to read your view of things.

Congrats on the internship - sounds very interesting. Hopefully this will lead to a job in Florida some day. ;)

Love the pin bag and your collection! You've come a long way in a short while.

Tell Tracy that we all sure hope she will do another TR - it was fabulous! :flower3:
 
Hey Bill,

Thanks for giving your closing thoughts.

WDW never gets old. You are absolutely right when you say it feels like the first time every time you go.

Pop may be a value, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have that Disney Magic. I love it too.

You HAVE to see Nemo the Musical.:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

So sad your TR is now over.:sad1:
 
*Sigh* Oh well, all good things must come to an end, I guess! (And your report has been a very good thing!!)

Ed and I were so pleased to have met you both... how lucky we were to have been able to share a bit 'o Disney together! :goodvibes

I do hope you continue with your reporting for your upcoming trips. Although it's always hard that last day, isn't it wonderful to know that there is another trip on the horizon?

Good luck with your surgery, Bill, I'll be praying for you. Not to worry, though, you've got a great honorary "nurse" in Tracy!

Love,

Hi Bill, and congrats on the internship.
 
Awww...I am so sad its over. I really will miss you guys! I have 10 days until I leave and I am so excited. We live close so I think we should plan a DIS meet in Evansville sometime!!!
Hope you guys have a wonderful Easter and Keep In Touch!:flower3:
 
Hi Bill,

Nice to hear your side. I love your Star Wars pins.
 
Bill and Tracy

It's been great getting to "know" you. I have truly enjoyed reading your TR and I wish you both many happy years together and many happy returns to DW together.

Lynn
 
Tracy and Bill,

What awesome memories ya'll have, and more to come!!!!:goodvibes I've really enjoyed this TR and getting to "know" you both.
Tracy you are a wonderfull writer and I could feel along with you in this report. I think you are an awesome woman who shows love in all you do and
Bill, what can I say you are such an insipiration. As a man, WOW look at those grades and perserverence, but also as a man with CP you are an inspiration to Me and my son as "Look what he can do with his challenges. He's going to college again, has a good job and a wonderfull woman who loves him. I can do it it to." And to people everywhere I think it is such a good example that people with handicapps don't just have to sit home, but they are People also and can have a life just as well or better than a lot of us. Look at ya'll and all those Disney trips. Wow!!! ( I'm feeling my jeolousy rising again!!:rotfl: )

I am so sad this has to end. Please Tracy Please write another one and PM me to let me know. Best wishes to both of you and I hope we can still stay in touch somehow!!!:grouphug:
 
Thankyou bopth for a great time. I hope you write another TR. This one's been great. :grouphug:

For Bill:

I am going to answer for both of us, Bill is working on a presentation for tomorrow.

You'll miss us so much that you'll HAVE to start a new PTR!! :rotfl:

Amy, you are so funny!! I swear I think I have said all I can say, I don't know what I would say in a new PTR :confused3?

Oh Tracy, I'm so sad!:sad1: Sad that your report is over, but overjoyed that you brought us along for the ride. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and I feel so fortunate to have "met" you. What do you mean IF you decide to write another trip report? You don't have a choice girl!!!! You have followers now, you're stuck with us! It's been great to get to know you, Bill and little Ace.

Hi Monica!! I am so glad to have "met" you and everyone else along this journey. You all have been such a joy to Bill and I.

:hippie:
So glad I get to say hello to you.

Bill says hi. Thanks for reading our TR. We are so glad you said that about the que lines, it makes me feel like we aren't the only ones doing it.

Hi Bill - Thanks for adding your spin to Tracy's report. I'm so glad that I got to come along for the ride! Thanks for sharing with all of us! :goodvibes

Bill says hi to you too. He says he enjoyed writing on it and he hopes everyone enjoyed it.

Thanks for posting your final thoughts Bill! It is always great to read your view of things.

Hi Michelle!! Bill says hello!! He had to do the final thoughts I aggravated him until he did it :rotfl:. He grinned from ear to ear when I told him what you said about the "job in Florida someday". That would make him so happy.

He has come very far with the pins and I know there will be a lot of trading come November.

Thank you for the kind words about the TR.

Hi Jordan, Bill wanted to thank you again for reading. We love how you have the same outlook as us about WDW and Pop!! We are sad the TR is over too, but I still have your TR to read.

*Sigh* Oh well, all good things must come to an end, I guess! (And your report has been a very good thing!!)

Ed and I were so pleased to have met you both... how lucky we were to have been able to share a bit 'o Disney together! :goodvibes

Hi Kathy, thank you so much for the kind words about our TR. Meeting you and your family was truly a highlight of your trip, I can't say it enough. You are such warm and friendly people we were blessed to have met you.

I am so glad there is another trip on the horizon, I have already started my spreadsheet, LOL. Bill's ankle has been hurting a lot this week. We go to the doctor on April 1st, hopefully we will set a surgery date.

Welcome Back Bill! We missed hearing your thoughts about the trip :goodvibes

Bill says thank you so much for reading along. He says work got in the way of doing the TR, but that I was an ok substitute ( I will smack him later ;)).

Hi Bill, and congrats on the internship.
