I'm LATE!!!!! The party has started without me! :sad2:

First let me ask if you put your pics on photobucket, then chose the size? That's how I did it.

Now to the report: Looks like a fun start so far! Sorry you didnt get to Downtown Disney early so you could march around to the Mickey Mouse Club song! Maybe you can do that in January.

I bought an ornament and stand from the Christmas shop, but did not notice the Christmas cards :( Also, I need to check out The Earl of Sandwhich. I've never been there.

So Lan, when are you going in Jan . . . :stir:

Gmax,
Your mom better join the party as well. The Christmas cards were towards the back of the store. There were about 4 different styles.

You have never been to Earl of Sandwich :scared1: Shame on you. Ha Ha

The Jan. trip dates are 4th-7th. The 1/2 marathon takes place on the 6th. Do I need to do some shopping for you in Jan. and ship it to your house? :rotfl:

I didn't use photobucket. Maybe I need to do that.
 
11/3 - Epcot, Food & Wine Festival, and Back to Downtown Disney

Today was the day that we would be going to Epcot. Epcot is the first park due to my parents loving to ride

A little background before I move on....my father has had surgery done on both of his knees. So he walks a little slower and if he is a good boy will use cane. This trip is a laid back one due to this and I allowed my parents to say which parks they wanted to visit. See I am a good daughter. All I ask of them it is follow directions when I tell them to go right, left, etc. :rotfl: This also makes me the Fastpass Runner for the trip. Now back to the story.

Per my rule, we are to get to Epcot before they open in order for ME to get early fastpasses to Soarin'. We accomplished that goal. Here we are walking to the entrance from the Handicap Parking Lot

So off I speed walk to Soarin'. The training I have been putting in for the 1/2 marathon is paying off. I secure a time of 10:38-11:38. I get on the cell phone to locate my people. My mother has went to the bathroom (one of many stops). I think she should write a book on bathrooms. :rotfl: Good thing she doesn't read the disboards. I would be in big trouble. We decide to do

It was cute and kids should love it.

We then road Living with the Land. I didn't take any pictures during this attraction. Now I must say the rows on the boat do not fit 4 adults of average size. We could of speard out on two rows. It was not that uncomfortable and I am glad were family is all that i am going to say.

After The Land it was time to soar. My cousin had never rode it and she enjoyed the experience. We sat on the right side in the last row.

Now it was getting close to time for The World Showcase to open. Meaning Food & Wine Festival. I knew my parents would enjoy it more by going early without the crowd. We discovered the

My mother ended up purchasing a bottle of $73 wine that my sister had requested before we left. The name of it is Mission Hill Reserve Riesling Icewine. I don't drink so please don't ask how it tasted. It was from Canada and is a desert wine.

I had Canadian Chedder Cheese Soup which was great

I had Spanakopita and Honey Baklava which was good

The family sampling Main Loster Roll, BBQ Pork Rib with grilled fresh corn, and Blackberry Cobbler. My father had the Rancho Zabaco Heritage Vine Zinfadel which I was requested to get for him since he had already sat down. Well the CM made me feel good because she asked for my ID. I was carded :rotfl2:

I am a pickey eater, but the food I tried was good. The crew sampled a great deal especially the wine. Ha Ha.

After making our way around the world, we stopped for the best thing that was offered A MIckey Mouse Ice Cream Bar :mickeybar

We attempted to get fastpasses for Test Track but the return time was several hours away. My father's knees were beginning to hurt. So we just went back to the car.

We did end up going back to Downtown Disney to pick up my ornament and for my cousin to begin her shopping. My father and mother just set on a bench and people watched after going to Goofy's Candy Company.

11/4 - Chef Mickey's and Animal Kingdom
 
Ok - Why did I lean soooo close to the screen when I saw the pic of Soarin?!!!!! I was trying to magically transport myself back there by jumping in the pics!

Love the RV - I think the kitchen in there is better than the one in my house! HA!

I've never been to any of the special events at WDW. Looks like fun - especially for a foodee like me!
 
Thanks for the tip of using photobucket. It did take a while for the pictures to load.

It is hard to travel in a car after traveling in an RV.

You need to travel to disney during these special events. The events force you to slow down and enjoy what is going on.
 

11/4 - Chef Mickey's Part 1

With all of my travels to WDW, I have never been to Chef Mickey's. I made an 8:30am ADR for breakfast. I was so excited that I would be eating breakfast with Mickey. I had Mickey Waffles, bacon & cheese potatoes, bacon, etc. It was all good. I think my father may of had more fun than me. You be the judge of that.

*A little side note. I am not a Minnie fan. I am not trying to be mean or rude, but I don't care for her. Maybe it is because she is supposed to be Mickey's girlfriend. However, he hasn't married her after all of these years:rotfl: :rotfl2:

Looks like Dad's a Minnie fan! (ps - have you run today? I can be your conscience, just like Jiminy Cricket!)
 
HMHunters,
Do u want me to be honest? I didn't do any training today. I will be on it next week though. Please be my conscience HMHunters Cricket :smickey:
 
Hey Lan :wave2:
I missed so much already.... :guilty: I've been a little sick lately. But I couldn't miss this! :goodvibes

I'm so glad you finally started you're trip report. I love all the pictures of your family! The one of you in the sharks mouth is so cute and the one where your cousin is getting a hug from Dale is great. You can tell she really got a kick out of that. You're dad is looking a little chummy with Minnie... Does your mom have a problem with that???? :teeth:

It looks like your family is having fun with the food and wine at Epcot! :rolleyes: I wish I could have experienced some of it from the way your describing it. My husband knows all about that icewine. It's supposed to be super awesome wine that can only be made from grapes that freeze on the vine, but it has to be done in a special manner and then it causes the flavor to be more concentrated. He says it's awesome. I'll have to take his word for it! :lmao:

We looked at the campground when we went through Ft. Wilderness to go to the stables. They looked pretty awesome. Don't forget to tell us more about what it was like to stay at the campground.... I would really like to know.

I'm loving your report and I am so proud of you for writing it! You're doing an amazing job and I can't wait to hear more. :goodvibes

Hi ET,
I am so sorry that you have not been feeling well. You have to report these things to us. How are the girls? I am glad that you are enjoying my report and pictures. I have a little problem with Minnie being chummy with my father :stir: :rotfl: I need to watch him and Minnie more closely when we go back in Jan. 07. I will attempt to have the second part up tomorrow. I took some nice pictures on Ex. Everest. I will also do a review of Ft. Wilderness.

Hi Awesonepinktink :wave:

I will not tell them that you think they are cute because they will get the big head about that. :rotfl:

You mean I missed seeing that beautiful little girl? I won't be going back until Jan. 2007. Make sure u post your pictures!!!!
 
Hey Lan, I enjoyed your pics at Chef Mickeys. I've never been! I guess I have to go the next time so at least I'll get a chance to see The Contemporary.

I noticed that one of your pics was sideways. Go to photobucket, locate your picture, click on edit, then choose rotate. Also, while in the edit mode, you can change the size of your photos as well.

You know I saw that it was sideways and was too lazy to fix it. :teeth: It was one of thoese weekends.

You must go to Chef Mickey's. When they play this certain song, everyone starts twirling their napkins.
 
HMHunters,

I worked out this morning and yesterday. What about you? :)
