A'hoy Mate! Just got all caught up. I love all the pictures of Pirate's Lair. We've actually never made it to Tom Sawyer's Island or obviously the Lair so it was fun to see everything. We'll have to make sure to check it out next time! Looking forward to more!

Actually I think it was probably closed when you were out here.

A lot of the Disney purist's are not happy since it is not what Walt designed, however I think he would be happy since I believe that he would embrace changes when they where for the better.

WOW, You are really Good, it's scary

Repeat after me....

"I will obey Sorceress at all times"
"I will take Sorceress to DL every weekend"
"I will do all the housework from now on"
"I will not complain"

It's no Disney World, but I know you guys would enjoy it.

Definately! and there would be so much else to see.

DH was more interested in the beach for some reason

I don't know, after seeing pictures of your backyard you'd never get rid of us.

Hahahahaha

I have no worries about that.

Remember, we live in CANADA

This year my friend.........this year.

Wait until next year!!!!

So what else is new, well except for the complaining part anyway

Definately! and there would be so much else to see.

DH was more interested in the beach for some reason :

We have some great beaches out here
and that doesn't even take in to consideration
the "Sun Worshipers" beaches.

This year my friend.........this year.

Wait until next year!!!!

Next Year, Smeck Year, (is that a word)

You know what will happen probably neither time will even get close to go to the Cup game.

Well it doesn't really matter......Buzz is making up words all the time so why not you too? and have you ever noticed he does the

something = something thing?

For example:

Buzz = Gatster (my new made up word)

What's up with that?

Ooops......did I post that out loud?

My bad

You know what will happen probably neither time will even get close to go to the Cup game.

You're probably right

 

[Goofster57]

Ok has promised here is what you will find on and in the wrecked ship


You can get a pretty good view of the Land Lovers in New Orleans area

And what cruise would be complete with out supplies

And a not so good view of the Crews Quarters (I need a new assistant)

Here are some random shots that we took

Here are a couple of shots of the paths on the island

In these pictures you can see the old fort that has occupied the center of the island for a long time. It is currently closed and a fence has been put around it. They are supposed to be tearing it down and replacing it with some thing more in line with the Fortress in the movie.

Here is a hidden Treasure room of the old fort

And this used to be the front entrance

The gates would be opened and you could go upstairs and fire rifles out of the towers, they had a snack bar inside, a well and you could usually find a Security Cast member dressed as a frontier soldier patrolling the grounds inside.

They have installed a lift for those that need it to get up to the stage area

And one final shot before we leave the island, here is TinkerBoo’s impression of Mickey during the Fantasmic show, this is the spot where he stands and has fire shooting out of the ends of his fingers. Not the safest thing to do. I wonder if that is why he only has four fingers.

After our return to civilization we headed over to New Orleans Square to the Cafe Orleans for dinner, and yes Nugget we let Boot Strap order what ever he wanted. So he had a nice dinner of Pommes Frites

That’s all for this installment, hope you enjoyed it and we will see you at the parks

 

[KatGarcia]

[KathyRN137]

Thanks again for letting me travel to DL vicariously through your photos!

Gee, I wonder if Tom Sawyer's Island at WDW will be done over in the same way?? Those pirates are invading everywhere!

(They're really bad eggs, you know! )

[thmar]

Great photos!! thanks...

 

[Goofster57]

And the dole whips

I haven’t had a Dole Whip in ages, I like them, but maybe because I can have them so often if I wanted I just don’t crave them.

LOL! ONE WEEK LEFT!

Wow, it’s getting really close now.

Thanks again for letting me travel to DL vicariously through your photos!

My Pleasure

Gee, I wonder if Tom Sawyer's Island at WDW will be done over in the same way?? Those pirates are invading everywhere!

I haven’t heard any thing about them doing it in WDW, I have to admit that I have never been on the island down there.

I guess I need to add that to my list.

Great photos!! thanks...

You’re Welcome,

We didn't make it out to the park this weekend, we spent too much time at some local craft fairs and swap meets, (we did get a bunch of Christmas shopping done), I am hoping for an evening trip one night this week.

 

[serendipity]

Very nice pictures. I love the one hugging the rum barrel

When will you be going to visit Disneyland, I'm dying to hear all about the new Nemo ride!

Yeah, Indy1 loves his rum, at least Boot Strap was hugging the water barrel.

I probably won't do Nemo for a month or two, we'll have to wait and see what the lines are like. I usually won't wait more than 10-15 minutes for an attraction.

I have heard very good things about it. Maybe I will have to see if I can pull some strings,

 

[serendipity]

Ohhhhhhhh no, the anticipation is going to KILL ME! Pull some strings, pull some strings

 

[KatGarcia]

As much as I'd love to see Nemo I'm not waiting in a line for anything more than an hour...and thats stretchin it! Oh well an excuse to go back!

How's the weather been over there? I'm excited to leave humidity here! T Minus 2 Days and counting!! Wooooooo.....

See your thread for Nemo tip

The days have been starting out overcast, but burning off by noon.

Temps have been in the low to mid 70's, but that is subject to change....just ask Serendipity

 

[blue_river]

Just a quick drive by to say hi

I'm looking forward to catching up this week!!!


I need a disney fix

OH! BTW - DH and I have been having some serious conversations about a possible DL trip next year!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Goofster57]

Hey we're used to those out here,

Reading some other threads you sound as busy as we are, were does all the time go?

OH! BTW - DH and I have been having some serious conversations about a possible DL trip next year!!!!!!!!!!

That would be great, as an incentive if you come out here I will tell you about the drive by I was a victim of.

If you need any info to help persuade DH let me know.

 

[blue_river]

Finally catching up!!!

And one final shot before we leave the island, here is TinkerBoo’s impression of Mickey during the Fantasmic show, this is the spot where he stands and has fire shooting out of the ends of his fingers. Not the safest thing to do. I wonder if that is why he only has four fingers.

You may be right


Sooooo.........what is the next installment going to be about?

That would be great, as an incentive if you come out here I will tell you about the drive by I was a victim of.

If you need any info to help persuade DH let me know.

If you are referring to a drive by shooting.......that's incentive enough to keep me at home

I'm sure I'll be asking plenty o' questions when the times comes!!!!

You'll be sorry you offered

 

[Goofster57]

Sooooo.........what is the next installment going to be about?

Not sure, I would like to do Nemo, but the lines are still hours long.

Hopefully we will get to the park this weekend and something will grab my attention and inspire me.

I had been toying with the outfits that people wear to the park, but I don't know, my kids tell me with my Bermuda shorts and black socks I might be in my own report.

If you are referring to a drive by shooting.......that's incentive enough to keep me at home

Nothing to worry about, they usually have bad aim, if they couldn't hit my rather large carcass, then it is safe for everyone else.

Actually it is believed that they were aiming for a Bank of America glass door front that I just happen to be about 3-5 feet away from.

I'm sure I'll be asking plenty o' questions when the times comes!!!!

You'll be sorry you offered

Never...ask away

My Therapist says it's good for me to feel needed.
