Baby and the Tramp...and a Pop (half) Century! Where Did It Go???

[VandyFan10]

Swans -
VandyFan10 - We're just outside of Nashville, also. Are you north or south? (I guess you could be east or west, but most people are either north or south of here.) Trent went to Vandy basketball camps, and our friends Drew Maddux and Sam Howard went there, if you're into basketball. Don't know if you're an overall fan or just of certain Vandy sports.

As for pulling off going so much, this is just a dream year. I'll never get to do this again.

No....I am a basketball girl through and through....we actually live east of Nashville

And I'm still Jealous

It's a partially eaten Mickey bar!!! If he wanted to smoke, he would follow the Disney law and find a designated smoking area, of course!

There were no lines at AK that day, so even though we wanted to use and share our passes, it was pointless. We saw no lines, and then we got rained out, so they're still intact. Jill is going to put one in a scrapbook.

The Alice characters were fun. The whole quiet path was lined with characters and tubs of candy. We only stopped at a couple of tubs. We were there for the pictures.

Yes, I am enjoying this year, because I doubt there will ever be another one like it. I'll be suffering next year when I don't get to do this again!


VandyFan10 - I got your PM. You were right on the school connection. I'll PM you later.

Scott - Thanks. I'll do that later, or by Monday, and thanks again. Thanks for those others who frosted me, too.

I'm going to see Jill today. We're going to grill steaks this afternoon. Everybody enjoy your weekend.

P.S. cherokeemamma, I hope to hear that you guys had a great time. I'll look forward to seeing pictures of your cuties soon!

We are about 15mins outside Nashvegas

vandyfan - i LOVE your screenname!!!! i was brought up in a vandy household myself. vandy fans are hard to find and a true example of what a fan should be!!! i grew up in gallatin, just north of nashville. i'm in georgia now and let me tell you....when the 'dores beat georgia last year, i was one happy girl. we almost did it again this year.....stupid field goals! just wanted to say hello!

We got off at the Yacht & Beach Club and walked over to Epcot. It was still drizzling off and on.

We decided to see Figment, something else we hadn't done this summer.

We went over to The Land to see what the wait for Soarin' was, but it was too long for us with as short as our time was. We ate supper there before heading back out.

These are in no particular order. None of them were very good, since it was mostly dark and damp on that evening. We just sort of wandered around and back. We did see the new Canada movie. We shared the waiting area with some people who might possibly have had a drink or two or more. They were very "happy" and very, very talkative. It was interesting.

More browsing.

Belle's rose in the library.

Epcot was celebrating my birthplace.

I also took this same shot last summer as the wand was being taken down.

A little Illuminations on the way out.

Back at the room, there was a birthday balloon waiting for Jill.

looked like a fun time. I saw Rose and Crown and I cannot wait to try it. Nic epcis.

HOW EXCITING and THANK YOU!!!! Well, I don't know if you are more of a basketball girl or not?? But hopefully you can check out several of our games on TV(I think we have 16 on TV) this year....I'm so proud of my boys....they have done so well over the last few years! Those football boys have shocked me some this year too

I can't WAIT to try the Cheddar cheese soup!!! As many times as I've been in the world showcase I don't think I've ever really looked at UK or Canada....I'm excited to go explore them!

i'm a bigger football fan but i do love the basketball too! my dad actually used to usher all the basketball games a few years ago and my uncle attends every game - sits right down front. he's in the commodore club. my dad tried to hook me up with dan hall when i was like 16 (back around 1992)!

memom/brooklynnsmommy - sorry.....don't mean to hijack your thread!

No problem. It's nice to have some fellow Tennesseans on board.

Let's not get in too big a hurry for Monday. I've already graded three sets of papers and made out a Math homework sheet today. I need to cherish what is left of the evening.

Yay for your countdown. We will be in Disney World in 13 days! We're leaving right after school on the 16th. Thank heavens we are finally getting a decent Thanksgiving break so we can go.

 

[Nicole786]

[snowbell]

Memom -- I am finally caught up. Your pictures are amazing. I am going in three weeks... You are going to have a great time over thanksgiving. We went last year and are always going to go during the holidays.
Brooklynn is the cutest Alice in Wonderland Ever...

adorable! I'm all caught up again excellent pics as usual!

Some nutrition to start our day. We always throw food away. When will we ever learn not to get so much? It just all looks good when we order, so we get too much.

A wet MGM. There's a group of girls dressed in HSM cheerleader outfits, if you can see them at the gas station.

A quick check of the schedule.

For my two little guy friends, Taylor and Eli. These pictures now have framed and honored places in their rooms.

The "loverly" Chinese Theatre. I took the time to notice a lot of the handprints this time.

A wet day meant a pretty empty day.

The beginnings of the Osborne Lights going up already.

Jill had wanted to do the Backlot Tour this summer and didn't, so we headed for that. The girl who did the speech at the water splash/bullets/etc. at the very first had such a thick accent we could barely understand her. We've done this before, so we pretty much knew what she was saying, but I felt sorry for the people who were first-timers. Several people were just looking at each other with question marks on their heads, as they had no idea what she was saying.

We enjoyed the music of High School Musical 2.

Lunch was at Rosie's. The burgers were pretty dry and bland.

Entertainment was by four little girls who seemed to be cousins. They stood on that little rock wall behind us in the picture and, between the bickering, performed HSM2 over and over and over.

This face could only mean one thing.

It was time to see this!

She loves this show!


More later. I've got a kitchen that needs some attention.

 

[scottny]

i look forward to your updates. the pics are so great. the pic before Beauty was adorable.
it really was empty there. those streets were no one around.

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

I LOVE the pic of Brooklynn watching Beauty and the Beast! That's just how I feel when I watch it!

 

[Glendamax]

Wow! Looks like I'm REALLY behind! I didnt realize that I'd missed so much!

We decided to hit DTD, and at the bus stop we had to snap this one for Gmax.

Thanks for thinking about me at my home away from home!

I also took this same shot last summer as the wand was being taken down.

I took a similar picture this September too!
