It is not looking good...... it is 11:44am and my kids are still in BED! DW is outside getting some sun by the pool and I am sitting here waiting for everyone to be ready. We rented a house off of West 192 and no one is moving. The other family we rented the house with are in Lakeland for the MN Twins vs Detroit Tigers spring training game.......

Looks like a slow day, which is needed anyways. We did Universal on Monday and Wednesday (too busy) and HS/Epcot on Tuesday... today is a needed off day and we are not pushing the kids......

So, doesn't look like my research is going to get done.......... I'll convey the disappointment of the entire transportation board to my kids!

Hrumph....so much for CLOT glory!!! Have fun in any case. I'm jealous.

Wow. Just wow. I managed to get to SFO and back this morning AND complete my march madness brackets and you can't manage to haul your ice cream fueled fanny out of your rental and do our research for us?? I'm not so sure we can renew your CLOT membership....

Just the satisfaction of doing research. Knowledge.

Yeah, sounds like a hard sell.

sounds suspciously like Epcot trying to teach me something when my guard is down, i prefer to slip the brain into nuteral @ WDW

Ah, but there is a richer reward at hand: Disboards and CLOT GLORY!

it shall remain one of the great mysteries of MCO

Disney CMs as well as bus drivers ....

Um, EXCUSE me!

Perhaps you meant to say, "Disney bus drivers, as well as OTHER CMs ..."?

Sorry....that's what I meant to say but got distracted. Of course the bus driver, boat captains and monorail pilots are CMs. Dopey me....

Slow news week?

Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
Bumm...
It's good news week! Someone's got a cold somewere, contaminating atmosphere, and sickening the skies.
It's good news week! Someone's got his high beams on, blinding almost everyone, and glaring up the skies.

I think I'll just have a smoothie or an ice cream cone ... should I tweet about that?

*sitting by the water at DTD
*eating my ice cream now
*oh look, a sea gull!

*Yikes! he just snatched the rest of my ice cream!

The challenge ... One group should walk over to SSR and take the bus. Another should take a DTD bus to the resort nearest whatever park you'll be visiting.

(one already standing there at the rendezvous point) Aha. my way is faster!
(one running up) Why don't we make it two out of three?

sounds like the amazing race without any promise of financial payoff...

Want do do an amazing race without any promise of financial payoff in New York City? See how quickly you can tour the New York subway, passing through every station at least once.

The challenge is for you to drive and other members of your family take Disney transportation.

"This is Joe Shortsleeve outside the Boston Public Library with WBZ's final report on the great commute race. Flo Johnnick, who drove, has, as I expected, arrived here first. Don't know how far along Bruce Schwoegler has gotten on his bike and Gary Lapierre is still somewhere on the commuter train. Now, back to our studio for the sports report."
My comment: But Joe, you forgot to mention whether Flo already found a parking space. (Names are of actual persons.)

Actually an excellent day to do the research, as opposed to consuming a park day.

I didn't actually do the trip to a park, BUT, we did use Disney transport all over property yesterday.

We went DTD to WL by bus. It took an HOUR just to do that. Are you kidding me, I don't know how anyone would do this just to save $14!

Next, we took the boat from WL-CR.

We then monorailed it over to Poly.

Monorail from there to MK and onto a bus for POR.

We tried to take the boat from POR to DTD, but the line was so long that we ended up taking the bus back to DTD.

Again, I would NEVER do this if I wanted to save a few bucks. We have paid parking everyday and will gladly do so in the future... including our last park day tomorrow at MK. Sniff, sniff, you heard it, our last day!

10pm now, 6am alarm will come soon.... can't miss rope drop!

NIGHTY NIGHT!

An hour from DTD to WL. That really does not seem worth it to save $14.
Thank you for your update. I hope you are having a good time.

Wow... this sounds like too much work... I think I'll just have a smoothie or an ice cream cone and sit by the water at DTD! Now that is relaxing...... should I tweet about that?

*sitting by the water at DTD
*eating my ice cream now
*still eating my ice cream
*still eating my ice cream
*oh look, a sea gull!
*still eating my ice cream
*now walking into World of Disney......

And on and on and on.... now this is the life!

now that i finally stopped laughing.....all those great plans of actually doing something constructive while at WDW always seem so unimportant once there.
most important and earthshattering always winds up including ice cream, birds, shopping, strolling, people watching, laying by the pool.
i think priorities on vacation might well be right on target, and real life ones are all mixed up
