I'm not a huge fan of Wally world but I will go when I need to but here in FL they have Walmart Grocery which is just that the grocery only part of a super walmart and I do shop there...they have a gas station out side and it is usually much cheaper than anywhere else and if you buy a gift card or have a wally world card you get .03 off the posted price. Nice deal if you have the patience to go thru the steps ( I usually don't) they also have a liquor stor attached to the grocery store.
Thanks Marina for the update I was diggin the comments about your server in Chef Mickey...and I wouldn't doubt it!!
Waiting for more you have me addicted! Definitly let us know about Oct and a meet you know we could always celebrate your mom's b-day a couple months early she would really be surprised!!

Thank you
This trip I used a Sony Cybershot DSC W130. It was cheap and I'm really pleased at the way the pictures turned out!We have stuff, but certain brands (like Scope or Listerine) can't be found anywhere. I've gotten addicted to both. We don't have Almay here either, best foundation I ever bought. Oh and I even buy my L'Oreal in the US exclusively !!! It costs twice as much here -crazy!!
I really wish we had a Walmart here, I could spend days in there - they have everything. I've yet to try one in Florida (I've only ever been to one in Vermont which I imagine is tiny in comparison) but we have a stop at one scheduled on our way to WDW in DecDH won't know what he's let himself in for
Isn't it funny how us foreigners are smitten with Walmart ? Americans can't understand our fascination with it because it's such a normal store to them. But to us - ohmygosh - if they built a hotel inside a Walmart I would stay there in a heartbeat.
Girl, Super Walmart IS Heaven. I went to one a couple times. They actually had a food court inside the store, with games for the kids. And it was open 24 hours ! My friend & I spent the whole night there, looking at every little thing, it was fab.
Oh my gosh...I'm dyin' here!I dunno what is cracking me up the most...running and screaming AWAY from HSM...he's too cute to be on our side...he's probably shacking up with Mickey...I pulled a Jessi.... or 6 packs of Scope!!!
Do you ever go to the Outlet Mall on International Blvd? It use to be Belz but now I think it's a Prime ...or something like that...Mall.They had 2 WDW stores Character Warehouse and Premiere Outlet (think that was the name)...AWESOME buys...stuff from in the parks and DTD.I got a 3 tiered snow globe ...it's the castle with all kinds of characters on it...I had seen it for a couple years in DTD,it was $110.I got it at Belz for $50.They use to have in Oct a HUGE tent sale outside in the parking lot. for amazing sales. Haven't been in a few years so I don't know if they still do this.
OKAY first, stop trying to make me look like a nut case. It wasn't 6 packs of Scope it was 6 packs of Crest toothpaste that has Scope .... twisted... in it.
Wish we could go to Prime Outlets but my mom hates that outlet because you have to cross streets & such to get from one store to the other, and we must have had "TARGET" on the back of our shirts the day we went there because every single car was trying to run us over.
We MUST meet !!! What do you have planned for the 25th and 26th ? For us it looks like Hollywood Studios on the 25th (and Walmart - LOL) and all day Magic Kingdom on the 26th.

NOOOOOOOOOO !!!! I can't believe it, that music is the Electrical Water Pageant, it's 9pm. 
We missed Fantasmic 
I scream at Grumpy to wake up - who knows why, it's too late and I know it.
We're both mad at ourselves. We blame Walmart - it killed us. Now it's late, we're hungry, and to be 100% honest, kind of sleepy still. To our defense we'd woken up at 5.30 that morning.
Grumpy wants to get something to eat so we get dressed and go over to Captain Cook's. On the way we stop to watch the Wishes fireworks from the beach.
It's beautiful, but they were not piping in the music so it was a bit odd. At one point I hear a very, very strange noise through the fireworks. It sounds like a goat.
Yes, I heard a goat on the beach at the Poly, okay ???
I don't say anything to my mom because if I do she'll probably have me committed.
Dinner at Captain Cook's is quiet. I drive Grumpy nuts singing "I want cookies.. give me COOKIEESSS". Long story short, I was sleeping on the plane and missed cookie time, and I'd been singing that ever since.
No cookies but they do have cupcakes.
I have a love/hate relationship with cupcakes. Love the way they look, hate the way they taste with that sickeningly sweet icing on top. Nevermind, I buy one, Grumpy gets an ice cream sandwich, and we bring our treats back to our room where I immediately proceed to take every last bit of icing off the cupcake.
We decide to go back to sleep because if we stay up now, we'll do the same thing for the rest of our trip (crash in the middle of the afternoon and wake up after all the fireworks & stuff are over). Plus tomorrow we want to go to Animal Kingdom early magic hour.
So we turn the lights off and try to go back to sleep. We're laying there chatting about nothing and everything, when Grumpy goes quiet.
"What's wrong?"
"You're going to think I'm crazy..."
"I live with you, I know you're crazy."
"Earlier when we were watching the fireworks....."
I jump out of my bed and turn the light on.
"OMG !!! You heard it too ! You heard the goat !"
Complete blank look from my mother.
"Hmm no. I thought we should come back for Christmas."
Oh.
Kay.
Just me then.
I turn the light back off and go back in bed. We're silent for a few minutes.
"... who would bring a goat on the beach ??"
Grumpy actually rolls off her bed and makes a run for the bathroom before she baptizes her bed.
We force ourselves to stop laughing and shut up because it's something like midnight now and we don't want to have security called on us. Go explain the goat thing !!!
Next thing we know it's 6am, and we're both up getting ready for our morning at Animal Kingdom. Grumpy is wearing a brand new Grumpy tank top, which she bought yesterday at the Contemporary.
We're on our way to the bus stop, enjoying the sights....
.... when I hear a very familiar noise. This time Grumpy hears it too and stops dead in her tracks.
"I swear to God, if I turn around and see a goat, I'm booking a week here on the Concierge level."
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, the Polynesian Resort Goat

I don't know what Donald had eaten, or if he just had duck strep throat or something, but that was one goat sounding duck !!
We called him Soignon on the spot.
Soignon walked us over to the bus stop, but didn't stay with us while we waited. Maybe he had to get milked or something.
AK was pretty busy that morning. We saw the opening ceremony from afar
Then went straight to the Safari. It was not a very good one. Usually when we ride first thing in the morning it's great, tons of animals very active. This time we saw so few animals I don't even have ONE PIC of the Safari!!!! I think maybe it is because the sun had already been up for a couple hours by then, and the animals had probably been fed already.
I wanted to see the Nemo show but the first one was at 11.30am - we wanted to be out of the park by then. AK is not a summer park in our opinion, and we had a date with Florida Mall. Nemo was out for today.
The only other ride we wanted to do was Kali River Rapids. We also had an ADR for Donald's breakfast at 10.15am - nearly two hours from now. Just in case,we went to check if they could take us sooner, and were told they had a table right now if we wanted it. Heck yeah!
Is this Grumpy or Sleepy ??
Hey, Grumpy.. they have cinnamon rolls....
Great breakfast, great characters!
After breakfast we went to ride Kali. The line was non existent. We rode in a raft with a couple and their two little girls. The mom made the two kids take their dresses off before getting on (they had bathing suits underneath). The youngest girl kept saying how she wanted to get soaked.
When we got to the drop and I saw the girls had their back to it, I knew she'd get her wish.
I'd never seen someone as wet as this little girl !!!! She was literally drenched from head to toe, not a millimeter of her was dry. And she was obviously loving it !!!! Her mom didn't seem to agree though, she'd gotten quite wet herself and wasn't too happy about it. But the little kid was giggling and the mom laughed too (while drying her glasses!).
For once, Grumpy & I came out of the ride almost unharmed.
We were ready to leave - yep, a very short time in AK but we had done the two rides we wanted to do, and it was already starting to get hot and sticky as only Animal Kingdom seems to get.
On our way out, I spotted West, the talking palm tree !! It was talking to a little kid and freaked her out big time.
Grumpy was delighted. She talked to West, as I tried to figure out - to no avail - where the guy was hiding. Then we left the park.
I was walking way ahead of Grumpy through the crowd. The crowd who had NOT just seen the talking palm Tree. The crowd who, for the most part, has no idea that somewhere in Tomorrowland there's a trash can called Push who sometimes talks to people.
And this is when Grumpy yells at the top of her lungs
"REMEMBER WHEN THE TRASH CAN TALKED TO ME??!"

Thank goodness I wasn't drinking anything while I was reading this update! "I heard a goat...no it's a duck...but it sounds like a goat" had me laughing out loud (the bosses loved that!
). I'm going to Kona in a few weeks for dinner. I'll be looking for the goat.

Wonderful! Just wonderful. I nearly peed myself when you shared your goat moment.
I am getting so excited about my trip with my Mom in October. I'll be there from the 18th-26th so I'll be sure to wear my Marina Fan Club badge!

Hi
I've been reading your tr's. Your last one was funny. You are lucky to have such a great mom. I can't take a vacation with my mom- she has became very weird. By the way your mom looks so young!
The name of the talking palm tree is Wes Palm. We met him last Christmas. My husband pointed out the man controlling him. He has a black canvas bag over his shoulder that he has his hand in using the controls. He tries very hard to look like a tourist.
Keep up the great writing!!
