Gotta love bounceback! 10th ann. & family vaca PTR-9/201o-WE'RE BACK!

[DB of ODL]

We busted on my brother pretty badly. My sister sent him a text and told him that we were selling his old Atari game stuff. Then she told him that mom was looking for his baseball cards and comic books. It was quite funny. What's not so funny is that years ago he had the Castle Greyskull stuff from He-Man and when he got older they were watching Antique Roadshow and one came on. Well, my bro thought he still had his but........mom threw it away!

Oh that was oh so funny (insert sarcasm emoticon here). Yes imagine my surprise when I found out mom pitched those old toys. My star wars stuff, he-man, transformers...all gone. I don't think it was the antiques roadshow. I believe I picked up a toy pricing guide and saw what they were worth today.

Now, I believe I will be inspecting the choices that everyone makes.

Yup...I believe I can take credit for that one. I bought a couple of funny T-shirts to wear on the trip. Don't worry..none of them are offensive. One says "Bad Spellers of the World...UNTIE!"

Kinda bummed I won't get to eat at the Yachtsman. Love me some steak...

First three days look cool. Not too thrilled about being up at dawn just to see some rope drop thing. I'm also not thrilled about having breakfast with Piglet. Rather have Piglet FOR breakfast...

Final note, I'll go on that ride with Joe. Should be fun.

Great plans for the first three days! Love the way you're putting them up!

Oh, btw ....... isn't your first day Sept 10? If you go to Epcot there is a HUGE chance we could bump into each other!
We're spending our last evening at Epcot too (Sept 10 )!

Great updates. Love your plans for your first few days they look really good.

Glad you could make some Disney Money at your garage sale. Every little bit helps and it is always good to declutter as well.

Glad you like my new ticker. Hopefully in a month or two it will havbe a friend counting down to a trip.

Nice shirts. Joe got a couple of new ones as well.

We are going to other places that also have great steak so don't worry.

Get use to getting up at dawn dear brother. You shall see a lot of that over the 11 days that you are in Orlando.

Great plans for the first three days! Love the way you're putting them up!

Our first day is the 10th. Let's try and meet to say hello! I'd love to be able to meet you in person.

I can PM you our contact nubmers but they are US numbers. Will that work?

Hi Elizabeth!

We should make a plan to do lunch or something soon.

Trust us!! From those who've done a bit of the WDW thing, you'll want to fully use that first 2 hours of park opening- that is, unless you LOVE to stand in lines. Then after you've done all those rides whose lines get long, you'll have done them, and can have the rest of the day to wander, or swim, or people watch, or snack or whatever.

We should get together soon to do something. It would be so much fun.

Day 4

Day 4 will begin with breakfast at the resort. Yeah, I know, how many times can we eat at Roaring Forks! I have to do my best to keep up with my diet and they have stuff to satisfy everyone so....back to Roaring Forks we go.

After breakfast we shall leave here:

Head past here:

and over to the boat dock to catch the boat here:

I must say that this is what I am looking most forward to....being able to take the boat from our resort to MK. No TTC, no parking tram, no people cramming into the monorail...just a nice relaxing boat ride over.

We shall take a nice slow stroll down Main Street....

We may stop and do this:

or this:

or a little bit of this:

Yeah, who am I kidding.........

Mad dash...........to HERE:

So I can get a picture, or two, or ten, or a hundred.

We always go left when the rest of the world goes right. We're heading here:

We'll most likely stop here:

For this:

And we'll take a cruise:

And we hope to see this:

Next we'll grab a fast pas for BTMM (sorry, no pics ) and then we will go here:

I've been trying to get my mom on Splash for the last couple of years. Given it took me until about 2 years ago to ride, I can't be too hard on her. I just wish she'd go with us. It's no worse than the drops at Cedar Point!

Hopefully, our FP's for BTMRR will be ready for use after we get off of Spash.

So, where to next..........stick around and find out. (Dinner is in the oven and needs my attention. )

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

hey stupid photobucket! Where are my pictures? Spent 45 minutes on the last post and they are not there......

Ugh..........

 

[Stefy]

Photos are looking good Love the Mickey hat one with Joe and DN

Day 4 sounds great and fun filled

 

[All7OfUs]

Photobucket is dicey at best. Sometimes I wonder if it's more of a headache than its worth.

Anywhoooo.... what could be better than a cruise and a Dole whip float?? I think not much... Nope, not much!

 

[dizneeat]

Tom is going to bring his Austrian phone which WILL work in the US! We might even get another disposable one like we did last year.
So exchanging phone numbers would be a good idea - we would love to meet you too!

By the way, Day 4 looks real wonderful so far! Guess we should check out Roaring Forks for a change, esp. since Mary Ellen and Joe stay there and we'll visit there a few times anyway! Thanks!!

Thanks Stefy! I'm going to try and post more of day 4 before I go to work this morning.

If I didn't have so many pictures on Photobucket, I'd find another site.

Joe loves Dole Whips.

I'll PM you my number.

Roaring Forks was good when we stayed at WL last. I sure hope it still is.

Day 4 continued............

I'm thinking that after BTMRR, we will go to HM. I can't seem to find even ONE picture of HM.

This is Joe's favorite attraction. Mom however calls it the "smelly ride." She says that it stinks in there.

After "the smelly ride," we'll go here:

I always tear up in HoP.....yeah, I know, lame...........

My guess is that it will be time for lunch by now, so we'll go here:

We all love Casey's. I dunno what they do to their hotdogs but they are the BEST, if you ask me!

If I had to guess, after lunch we will probably go back to the resort for a break. It's hard to tell right now what Joe will be able to handle.

More to come on day 4..........

 

[Stefy]

Ooh yum a Casey's hotdog, they are pretty good aren't they

Love how your mum calls HM the smelly ride

 

[3princesses+aprince]

I love that picture on splash mountain! And oh the dole whip! Looks so yummy, can't wait to try one.

Plans look lovely! We didn't get to the jungle cruise on our last trip, so i'm looking forward to trying that!

 

[KatMark]

Day 4 looks great so far. I love the Mickey hat on Joe -- too cool (I guess "Grumpy" is not the only hat lover). Sometimes if you don't hit "SAVE" on photobucket, it doesn't keep the pictures (I learned that the hard way).
