MK at night

 

[2goofycampers]

It was a fun day. We rode everything we wanted to except Dwarf Mine Train. Fastpass+ SUCKS! The lines to the kiosks are as long as the lines for rides. We were taking those pics of the Castle show when a girl asked us to move. They were sitting down and couldn't see. We grinned at each other and moved over. About one second later that spot was filled by other people. LOL Crystal Palace was very good. Frank got to be Mike at The Laugh Factory. Very cute show. MK was way busier than we thought it would be.
We got to meet grumpyaggie and friendofeeyore, another very nice couple.

Today is a hang out day. Good thing, it's raining and cloudy. Still better than working! Will get out and get some Fort pics when the rain lets up. Frank is cooking up some breakfast.

We're all settled in now, finally!!!

Gloria & Arnold stopped by for a nice visit yesterday and then later, Barb & Bob. So nice to put a face with a name Good visits and great people.

Sorry we missed you Kris. We were down having TE to go and then watched the fireworks.

Rain seems to be passing!!! I'm thinking Epcot today for our first day in the parks.

Yesterday was a goof off day! We enjoyed our visit with Melissa & her family, Denise & Frank. Went to watch the movie last night & very noisy, so we left & went to see the Fire Works @ the Settlement. Arnold said he saw Gracie, (Melissa's daughter) playing after the fireworks were over. It has been raining all night & still, but they say it will be over by early afternoon. Tiggerdad, I am taking real good care of your squirrels. I almost had one taking the peanut out of my hand. Safe travels to everyone coming, & good luck to the runners this week-end.

Y'all may already know this,but Disney is installing WiFi system at the Fort. Transmission poles thru out. We are in 904 and one is behind the site. The workers said the system will be in place by Jan. 31st. He did not know when it will be turned on.

grump, we knew they were working on it but the Jan-31 date is news to me. I hope they "light it up" soon after.

Gig 'em and Roll Tide!

Nice pics everyone....still don't like Mickey carrying a stick, though... Oh well, welcome to the new world ( in so many ways)

certainly makes conquering the wilderness a lot harder when one is only carrying a stick. At least with a musket he could source dinner.

 

[4077]

Maybe Mickey is a follower of the ways of "the professor" on Gilligan's Island....makes all sorts of firearms and stuff out of sticks and pine cones, etc...they're just not allowed to show it...lol

 

[tiggerdad]

Someone felt the musket was too "threatening". Well, isn't it just good for the pansies in the office ...

Had a Magical Day today
First full day in the parks and crowd control of 5 with MK being the least recommend. Well we decided we wanted to go to MK and didn't care what the crowds were to be like. It turned out being very empty. We rode a ton of rides and the most we waited was 15 mins for Peter Pan. Also had a great lunch at Beast Castle. We're back at the site resting our feet, then headed back to MK for more rides. Had some drama at the Festival of Fantasy parade today but then again, we can't do parades without some form of drama. I have a mouth and use it. I can't stand rude!

Had a great visit with Denise & Frank yesterday and picked up a few fishing tips.

Kris - hope Bert had a nice run today and best of luck to you tomorrow. Every time we go by the dog park I look for you. We haven't made any rounds yet but look forward to meeting you soon.

Probably going to be a late night tonight at MK. Tomorrow we plan to sleep in as much as possible and have a Fort Day!!! Tomorrow night we are doing Hoop Dee Doo Review for our first time.
