I know I will do some planning but as said before, I will never do what I did the first May trip.

So did the Norway pavilion at Epcot do anything special for Norway Constitution Day, which was May 17?

 

[MOREMICKEYFORME]

Ok, Just had lunch and I am now perking up a bit.
I just wanted to thank all of you for making me feel welcome into your group. I know many of you had already met before and already had those friendships established, so it was nice to be welcomed in. Thanks!!!

I saw a large banner for Constitution Day and a large group of people gathered in a circle, but I couldn't tell what they were doing...

Just Awesome! - So who is doing planning for Next year

I promise to plan for next year as much as I did for this year. . .put up a poll and decide on a weekend. . .ROFLMAO. . .

Of course you can Ro, and I agree, naps are good.

here is my add...it is ok to not go to a park everyday, sleep in and spend the entire day at the pool

Well, I can say that some of folks showed up at Rose and Crown that day, singing songs, wrapped in flags, etc. We had no idea why they were there, so

*** THANK YOU! ***​

for pointing out that it was Constitution Day! Once my brain returned from the muddled mess that it is after a weekend at Disney (returning to the day-to-day muddled mess that it is normally), I'm sure I would have spent much time wondering about that.

I don't know where you get this no drama thing. Andrea and I had plenty of drama with her blaming me for scratching her arm up in the middle of the night even though I DID NOT DO IT!!

Andrea = Drama Queen next year I am scratching up your other arm (even though I had nothing to do with this year's scratching incident).

Hey now!! I can be a drama queen at times, but the scratch was VERY real. There were people there to verify the aftermath of sleeping with you.

No, I hope you scratch the hell out of me next year because that means we will both be there again!!!

Andrea

 

[MATTERHORN]

Since I spent the most time with Darcy I can confirm all her observations. Yes, even the wine thing!!

This was an awesome trip and I for one was glad to get more than 4 hrs of sleep at once last night.
Swimming at 3am i can wear you out!!

If you didn't have a good time it wasn't because you didn't have the chance. May annual meeting is a must.

To my old friends and to my new friends...you all ROCK!

Good times

Patty, had a blast with you up until the very last minute in the airport bar!! Glad you are home safe!!

Andrea

As I recall I spent most of that first night trying not to cough so I wouldn't wake up you and Corrina. You're welcome.

Andrea...really it was a pleasure sharing a bed with you...you didn't kick me once and I am scratch free!!

 

[MATTERHORN]

By the way, some of you remember from earlier trips that I am a water magnet. Go on a water ride and I will be the wettest one when we get off. Well apparently Andrea's (Matterhorn) friend Corinna is the same way so we decided on Kali to sit together hoping to demagnetize water's attraction to us. . .well I will have you know it worked like a charm. . .Corinna and I were the driest ones coming off that ride. I will be practicing this technique in the future.

Glad I could bring her along so you stayed nice and dry while I got soaked!! Thanks Darcy!

Andrea

Here is a shot just before the invasion of Mizners at the GF. I do not think they were prepared for that!

I know!! I couldn't believe you held in your coughs the entire night for us!! You are amazing, the best roomie a girl could ask for!!

And thanks for the compliment!! I'll have future roomies call your for references if need be!!

not a very tight knit group at this point were we LOL...look at all the space between us.

 

[MATTERHORN]

Yeah, I thought there was one with us all scooched in!

I think I sucked on 4 cough drops that night...my tongue was bright red the next morning. That was a rough night.

Andrea

I know I have one, I will upload the pictures tonight.

[sand2270]

I will get around to posting some pictures tonight, but as I was flying home I started making a mental list of my favorite moments this weekend. I decided to share them with you lucky people…

1. Listening to Andrea yell into her phone…in the airport bathroom, in the airport, in Magical Express, etc, etc…dude maybe it’s time to get a new phone!

2. Getting lost as Andrea and I tried to find Magical Express in the airport. Geez you’d think they could maybe put up ONE sign!

3. The welcome wagon waiting for me and Andrea at the Pop bowling pin pool at 1am.

4. Tom getting out of the pool to give me a hello hug even though I was freshly showered and dressed.

5. Riding Tower of Terror and Rockin Roller Coaster for the first time…and possibly the last lol.

6. Group dinner at Kona – the food was amazing, so fun.

7. Meeting almost everyone at the Poly bar.

8. Doing the oompa loompa dance at the monorail crawl.

9. Taking over Mizner’s lounge during the monorail crawl.

10. Sleeping in Saturday and hanging out by the pool all day.

11. Citrico’s - too many to list, but a great dinner full of laughs and wonderful company. The food and service were awesome. I loved the bed the servers made out of two chairs for a sleeping child.

12. Post Citrico’s –
a. Walking from the GF to the Poly on the beach to watch Wishes. Watching everyone make a lounge chair sandwich…will post the picture later.

b. Umm…can’t post that…family board…but it was pretty darn funny.

c. Sitting in the front of the monorail with Andrea, Roseanne and Corrina and terrorizing poor Kenneth the monorail driver. There were so many camera flashes going off up there he said he felt like he was driving the paparazzi around. Kenneth was a great sport but I don’t think he will ever be the same.

d. Watching Spectro for the first time with everyone.

e. Running to Splash Mountain as soon as Spectro was over so we could get a ride in before closing.

13. Epcot rope drop.

14. Riding all the rides in Future World with 10 of my DIS board peeps!

15. Finding a bottled iced green tea in the Epcot Japan pavilion that I have not had since my Japan trips. I was so excited to find it! (This was also the saddest, most emotional part of my trip but that is another story).

16. Having dinner at CA Grill with Andrea, Jerry and John. Talking Lost with John!!!

17. Running through Magic Kingdom in the rain during EMH after the CA Grill dinner…loved this!!

18. Finally - Everyone asking me how I was feeling, how was my back doing, etc. Really you are a great group of people and I am so glad I came on this trip.

I do apologize if I was a little boring. I never felt 100% on this trip which slowed me down and made me tired or grouchy at times. But I really had a blast and if there is a trip next year I am going to do my best to go!
