So today wasn't a disney day per say, but it was very exciting none-the-less!!!
We slept in today as we were going to see the space shuttle launch from cape kennedy. We had planned on leaving the condo around 10 for the 2pm launch. We knew it was about an hour drive down, and figured there would plenty of traffic to combat with. We got left about 10:30 but were fine with this. We got down there in less than an hour and was going to go to Jetty park, but when we got there it was already full, so we were detoured about went back up to where there were a ton of cars pulled off on the side of the road. Unfortunatly I don't have many pictures of this, not sure why, but anyways, we pulled off past a bridge then found that we could walk to the other side of the road, so we could get a clear view of the shuttle, but walking under bridge. It was really cool. We went and got our seat and this is what we saw. You can kind of see the dots that are kennedy space center.

Before we knew it the countdown was on, then we saw this.

The crazy part about the whole thing is that, the space shuttle was completly gone, and then we heard it and the water was rippling and the ground was trembling!!! I was insane how that happened!!!

Anywhoo... after we saw that we went to titusville to eat at our FAVORITE resturant Dixie Crossroads. It was SOOOO good!!! I don't have many pictures of this, only of desert lol

I was out of this world delicious!!!

Sorry it's not more of an update and that it's been so long since I've updated, but things have been crazy around here. Hopefully they will be settling down soon.

Up next Day 6.0 Toy Mania, Broadway, Stunts and RAIN RAIN RAIN!!!

[Leleluvsdis]

So before I start my update, I just wanted to show ya'll what my house looks like as of 10 minutes ago.

And yes... that hole you see is the nice surprise that we found this morning after the shingles were pulled off. Also notice anything else??? Yes that's right there actually waas no plyboard under the old shingle. Just 1x4 boards, so now were are not only putting on new shingles, but also plyboard as well. UGH... what a saturday!!!

Anywhoo... I'm off to work on a new update!

 

[Leleluvsdis]

So today is day 6 or Tuesday. Today was hollywood studios day!!!

And we HAD HAD HAD to be there at rope drop and do toy story mania!!! WOOT WOOT
I thought the ceiling was cool!!!

And all the other little details

So... I definetly got my butt kicked haha

oh well... I kept forgetting to pull the string the whole way out, I was to focused on pulling it as many times as I could.
But it was still SOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!

After Toy Story Mania we decided to make our way out of the crowds and back to the front of the park. It was a straight line to RNR and HTofT!!!

That's all the pictures I have of these as we basically walked onto both of these. We rode these several times throughout the day.
After getting our roller coaster fix we decided to go see beauty and the beast as we were right there at it, and they were letting people in for the next show. There were 2 little boys in front of us that were 2 cute for words. They kept talking about their cousins (they were are girls) and how they are the prince and the cousins are the princesses and they take care of them and keep them safe because that's what mickey's princes' do for Minnie's princess'. Is that not just to precious!!! Anywhoo... back to beauty and the beast.

 

[Leleluvsdis]

Can you tell that I just love love love this show!!!

Next we made our way to the great movie ride. I finally went on the western side. I don't remember ever going on that side, and it was nice for a change. Our driver was really nice and a very good role player. He honestly reminded me of the man that narrorating ABC when they used to have would of disney night on Sunday nights. I think that made it more special.

These are all the pictures I have as no flash photography on my camera means crappy pictures if you are moving in the slightest and not outside.

Contiuned in next post...

 

[Leleluvsdis]

Sorry this is in so many post.. I'm not doing a good job with keeping up with how many pictures I have. Anywhoo... Next we made our way towards the backlot tour. Again.. like NO WAIT!!! There was a whole line empty. Here are a couple pictures

The cast picked were 4 high school girls that were on their graduation trip. There was about 10 of them all together but only 4 were picked, and apparently they had never been here before because I don't think I've seen anyone as shocked as these girls were. They were very good sports about it though. They were laughing so hard at the end they couldn't even talk
Up next we quickly (and I mean almost ran through the prop set and then made our way to the tram. We loaded and made our way to the sewing room.

Then the tower

Then this little guy

and his other half haha

Then it was catastrofe canyon time

Tim quickly remembered this from our last visit and I was I was so adement on him sitting on the outside haha Am I sneaky or what!!!
After the backlot tour, and I really though I remembered it being much longer, but I guess not Anywhoo...It was time for lunch. Sorry no food porn.. we were VERY VERY hungrey!!! We ate at toy story planet and it was some of the best pizza I think I've ever eaten!!! After lunch since we were there we decided to go to mupphets. It's a shame that it's lost so much of it's intrest. I remember the times when we'd stand in that snaking line waiting to see it, and this time all we did was watch the pre-show. I still think it's a very cute show. Maybe it just needs to be updated.
Here we are in our ugh... fashonable glasses

I though I had more pictures but I guess not.

 

[Leleluvsdis]

Anywhoo... when we came out we found that it had started raining, and figured that if would only last a little bit and DH was DYING to see light motors action as we didn't the last time we went to disney I gave in and said lets go. Dh is a big car fan, so he was excited to see this. Well this little Florida shower turned into 2 hours of rain. Yes 3 hours We stood under the awning outside the stadium though thunder and lighting and yes that building is metal!!! To say the least I was FREAKING OUT!!! I hate thunderstorms to begin with, but slap me under a metal building and its amplified!!! After about and hour they let us in the stadium still not sure if they were going to be able to do the show with it being wet. Long story short that did the show and I must say IT WAS AWESOME!!! DH and my dad were like to little boys. ohing and awing and look at that Mom and I got a chuckle out of them. Here's a couple pictures of the show. Oh and we went from 80-90 degrees to 50-60 degrees because of this storm

I don't have many pictures of this as I videoed most of it.

After that was over we decided it was time to go as it was still raining and it was FREEZING!!! It was already about 6 anyway and the park closed at 8 that night. We made our way to the entrance and decided to go through the gift shops as we hadn't looked in many of the gift shops thus far. Unfortunatly I think that's what everyone decided to do. oh well wel ran through the downpours and made it to the tram. Well once we get on the tram there is a couple in front of us that has a baby with them that couldn't be more than 3 or 4 months old. They had borrowed a stroller (it was a combi) from someone and that was the first day they'd used it. He didn't know how to fold it down and since it was literally pouring out of buckets at this point. He just got in an empty bench and put the stoller next to him. There was maybe 10 people in our whole car and the same or less with the other cars. Anywhoo... the loader would not let the driver leave because the stroller wasn't folded. He made him get off while his wife and baby sat on the tram. He explained the situation with the stroller and in a nutshell the guys responce was not my problem. There is a walk way to the parking lot After 6 different people got off they finally figured out how to fold the stroller and he got on, but seriously come on now!!! Dh looked at me after that was like we are NOT getting that kind of stroller haha They were such a sweet couple. They were from austraila and had come to visit family so they could meet their new addition, and what better place than disney world she said. I so totally agree!!! We went back to the condo and had dinner in the room hopeing to get up to beautiful florida weather.

Up next Day 7.0 We're Segwayin' our way around the world... kinda


I forgot I hadn't finished my TR... is it anyway to get it opened back up so I can finish?
