Christie, I hope your photobucket upload goes smoother than mine! It's been taking all day to get the weekend's photos uploaded. I keep getting a Data Execution Precaution too, and the internet explorer window closes.

Ohhh yikes, put your camera in a bag of rice! It will draw the water out of it. You can take your battery out too (if it's a square lithium type) and put it in its own bag of rice, your battery is really one of the worst things when it gets wet. Hope it still works for you!

YAAAY!!! Finally an update with the evening with Leanne!!

they were at Epcot, so we headed there when we got Tyler from school. This was Friday Sept 30th. We got there a little early, and hung out, played the Piggy Bank game in Innoventions.

We headed towards the Land when we found out they were just getting off of Soarin, so we sat and waited at the exit. I knew they had to go pick up their race packets, but Joe's mom and Lindsey were hanging back in the park. Lindsey was the one that found me!! I turned my head, and there she was, right in my face!!! It was cute!! Joe's mom was really nice, and she was on an ECV. It was her first trip to Disney. they wanted to visit the world showcase, so off we went. Stopped in Canada, didn't watch the movie, but looked in the shop. Chris found some moose stuff LOL

And of course the canadian ears!!!

Tyler didn't want a part of this, but got Lindsey and Chris at the face board thingie.

We took our time in England, the kids decided to color, and I wanted to see my boyfriend!!! There was no line for him!!!

We headed around, the kids played, picked on each other, had a ball!! Stopped in france.

Finally got around to Norway, and asked if they wanted to go on Maelstrom. Of course they did

After that Joe and Leanne were back, so we waited for them to meet us. After that we all headed to Test track! I got Josie as we were driving by.

After that we were discussing Mission Space, and none of them had rode the orange side. WHAT??? So, Joe was intrigued, and we got him on there!!! But, we get all the way to the stage outside of the capsule, and waited, and waited. Joe from the other side said "clean up on isle 3" So we all cracked up, and come to find out, they did have to clean up a "spill" Chris had been drinking a little, so he wasn't sure he wasn't gonna get sick. Joe says he's a sympathetic puker, and of course so am I, so we're laughing at that. Joe stuck his head in our capsule, no smells of cleaning solution, so not our capsule. thank GOD!!! Got a pic of Joe, and the CM photobombed me!!!!

After that, we headed over towards finding nemo. Tyler loves the grass at Epcot, and takes advantage of anytime he can get a picture on it!!

We rode nemo, then they headed towards Germany for their dinner, we ate at the Seasons in the Land. It was good. We had never eaten there before.

After everyone's dinner, there was a meet up for other dissers in England, at 8. So we headed that way. This was the first night of F&W, so the place was PACKED!!! There were quite a few dissers there, I only knew Leanne, and Mary. Was good to see Mary!!! We had to be back at the parks early for Jenn's birthday fun that next morning, so we tried to get out before 8:30. Didn't happen!! Chris and Joe were talking like a couple of women!!!! Lindsey and Tyler were playing and having fun, so I sat and talked with Joe's mom. Got a couple of pics of the guys and kids.

This one of the guys was a little blurry, was trying to get them quick.

had to get one of Josie in her BBB outfit, she was way too cute!!

We headed out right when Illuminations was starting and headed home before the mass exodus. Was a great night with them, I wish we could have had more time with them.

I totally regret not buying those Canadian mouse ears.
Love the photobombing CM!
I also laid on the grass in Epcot while waiting for my family. It's nice grass!
Love Josie's BBB dress, so cute.

You want me to get them and mail them to you? I can certainly do that for ya!! the photobomb was funny, he was one of the guys outside while we were cracking up about the "clean up" Tyler was literally on the floor laughing!!

Both my guys LOVE epcot's grass. I have no clue what it is about that grass!!! It's comical some days to watch, and others, it's like, come on....not again!!!

Josie's birthday was a few days before they came down to WDW, so that's why she got the BBB treatment. I think Lindsey is getting too old for it

She's holding the blow up Space Shuttle we got for both of the girls, since we're a stone's throw from where the Shuttles USED to take off from LOL I thought it would be nice to give them something from where we're from. Awesome family tho, sooooo glad the Disboards brought us together!!!

That's so sweet and thank you, but I think I'll leave it as something to look forward to for my next trip! Hahaha, I'll make Epcot my first stop and get the ears!
I think for me the grass is so appealing because when I'm home there's grass everywhere, but almost nowhere else in Disney. Hahaha maybe?

 

[bouncycat]

I have been bad and not updating much LOL Sorry!!!!

Next up was our Oct 1st day for Jenn's birthday!! She wanted to do ALL 4 parks in one day. Had a few things picked out at each. We started out the day by us picking Jenn up, so she could drink LOL And headed to AK. She wanted to do FOLK, and Dinosaur at this park.

That was Her shirt she made for herself. It was way cute!! Kodakfigment met us also, with her hubby, so there was 6 of us!! We watched the FOLK, the first show, and the show was AWESOME!!! There's something about that first show of the day, the performers have SOOOO much energy!!!

They went to Dino next, they rode, I didn't, since it beats me up. I did it once for this quest, so I pass on it, especially at the beginning of a long day like this one was!!!

After that we headed to EE. My DH couldn't go to AK without going to EE!!

Julie and Alan didn't ride, for the same reasons as mine were for Dinosaur LOL Jenn ALWAYS has a great pic on this ride!!!

After that we hopped to DHS. The birthday girl wanted to do Indiana Jones, TSM and RnRC.

After those 2, we went to eat. Jenn had the turkey leg, I had a hot dog with bbq pork and slaw on it. It was REALLY Yummy!!! Jenn enjoyed the turkey leg too!!

After lunch, Chris and Tyler headed for ToT while us girls were still eating, but the ride broke, and they were stuck inside forever!!! So, Jenn and I went to ride RnRC, so we stayed on our time frame. After that we hopped to Epcot, and rode soarin. Didn't take many pictures at that park. After Soarin, we headed to Club Cool, and then out of the park. We stopped at the Poly for drinks. Jenn wanted to try the Lapu Lapu, so ALL of us girls had one!!!

We had one more drink, then headed to MK. we went to eat at CHH, and it was yummy as always!! Leanne popped in to meet us for a minute too, and after that we went to scope out a spot for the fireworks. This was the anniversary day, and they were supposed to have special ones. I did get a pic of Jenn coming into the park. She was yelling "ALL 4 BABY!! WE DID IT"

And for some reason, I didn't take many more pictures, but I did video the wishes, sorry for griping at my child thru it, I was in my chair, and he kept hitting my chair making my arms shake!!



After that, we went and rode Space Mtn. Chris didn't wanna go, and I don't think Julie went either. After that we decided to call it a night, and the line getting on to the ferry and the monorail was BAD!!! Took us an HOUR to get from MK side, to the TTC. This was such a fun day with great friends!!! Mine and Julie's birthdays are close, so we're planning some fun for us too Not to this caliber, but fun none the less!!!

Next up, Sami's 15th birthday weekend!!!!

 

[lovethattink]

Wow, you park hopped alot in one day! Looks like she had a fun birthday.

 

[racefanof88]

Thinking about you and hoping you are doing good tonight. I also wanted to say that you are one of the best friends anyone could ask for. . Thank you for being you!!!

Thanks Dana!!!! I'm hanging in here!!!! Few more hours, and he'll be home. YAAAY!!! I have never had this much trouble with him being gone before, then again, it's just been the past 2 years that my body has taken a tumble LOL Ah well!!! Did I send you the pic of him in his Jacket uniform?? I LOVE that uniform, and since it's a cold weather/dress type thing, he doesn't wear it too often.

I hope you're not being too stressed out, if ya do, I'm here for ya!!!

 

[bouncycat]

So, I've been a very bad person this last week, I'm at the point of Sami's birthday weekend, a bunch of you knows how that went, and I'm trying to plan it out on paper.....but enough of that!!

we are gonna be seriously stepping up this quest, cause there may be some news in our future that will change our lives!!! So, will do the big reveal when I get more info, so this weekend, we're gonna hit up AK, as much as we can, and then maybe head over to MK. gotta get ONE of these parks done before the holidays!!! YIKES!! Now that I have tyler's camera running, I can take more pictures. My camera died on Sami's birthday weekend with the rain. It has NOT come back to life. BOOHOO!!! Anyways, I'll update tomorrow afternoon, I promise!!!

 

[bouncycat]

Ok, put this one off long enough. Sami's birthday weekend was the second weekend in October. Her grandma got us a timeshare at the Fountains resort on I drive, not too far from the parks, we all had AP's, and Sami had a friend come up from Coral Springs for the second day, so it was fun. We started out the trip going to MNSSHP on Thursday evening. That part was super fun, the kids got LOTS of candy, and we even saw the wacky Mad Hatter!!

The next morning, we had her friend get dropped off at the resort, and we headed to DHS. Sami's friend was scared of rides, but would do them. Jess's mom wanted pictures of her on the big rides LOL So, I got them!!

We even saw the Lights, Action, Motors show!!

This night, we went back to the room, and got KFC for dinner, and figured we'd start out early the next day. Rain was expected, so that kinda put a damper on things.

Saturday. Rain. UG!! I went to Walmart early, got us all rain suits, with the pants and stuff, and off to AK we went!!

We saw the first Lion King show, went on the Safari,

And then we headed back to the room, to dry off, and get warm before heading back out to MK later that night. I didn't get ANY pics at MK, since after Ak my camera was FULL of water. I have since tossed it, cause I couldn't dry it out. We rode a few things, had some issues, and headed back to the room. Tyler had one of his outbursts on the way out that wasn't pretty, so we went back to the room, and I put his butt to bed.

Sunday, Tyler just wanted to go home. I'm guessing he was embarrassed about his outburst, so Kim and the girls went to the outlet store, and I packed up my car. After they got back, Tyler and I left and came home. The doggies were sure happy to see me!!!

 

[bouncycat]

These next few visits, I didn't have the camera for, so I'll just tell the story.

The middle of Oct, the friday after Sami's weekend, I met Julie for some girl time. We visited the F&W fest. I had a shrimp pasta thing and an alcoholic drink in China, a pumpkin mousse in US, and a tropical drink in Japan. ALL was yummy!!! We had a good time walking the WS, after that we rode Imagination, Soarin and Capt. EO. Always a fun day with Julie!!!

That saturday, since DH was still in school, Tyler and I headed over to DHS, and AK. We rode ToT, and RRC, then went towards Star Tours, so he could get a toy. He didn't want to go to MK, cause of his blow up. After DHS, we headed to AK, I got the Simba Mickey ears, they're just tooooo cute!!! We rode EE, and then headed towards McD's right outside the park, then headed home.

I hooked up with Jenn on the 18th, for Sugar Ray. I got a couple pics on my phone, again, no camera. He did an awesome show!!! We had a blast. then walked F&W, I got the chocolate drink from Belguim, and a Grand Marnier and Ice Cream near canada at the champagne booth. Again, both VERY good!! We rode Soarin, then called it a night, since it was a school night.

After that night, I went thru Tyler's room and found his camera!!! So, for after Sugar Ray, I had a camera!!

 

[bouncycat]

Next up, I was bound and determined to get Tyler back into the MK, he seems to shy away from things that upset him, or scared him. It's why he never rides Imagination in Epcot, it scared him when he was 9, so he refuses. Asbergers is NOT a good thing sometimes!!!

So, that following Sat the 22nd, we headed to MK!!! It was PACKED!! We couldn't understand why, but we went with the flow. We headed back towards the liberty boat, and just missed it, so we rode HM, then got in line for the LB. We took that around in a circle, and had some fun with it!!

After that it was just too darn crowded, since I was walking, I didn't wanna get run over, so we hopped to DHS. We rode ToT, and went towards Star Tours.

We also rode TSM and the Backlot Tour.

We headed back to MK, rode the train over to Frontierland, to eat at Pecos Bills. Kendra was supposed to head to MK, so we were kinda waiting on her. We ate, then headed towards tomorrowland.

Kendra said it was too crowded, so she watched wishes and headed out. After we got that word, we headed out too. Was a long day all around for both of us, but it was fun!!!

 

[bouncycat]

The next trip was on the 25th to see Boyz II Men. Julie met up with Tyler and I to go see the concert. It was AWESOME!! We all got there early, and rode TT. Tyler ALWAYS has to get a picture in a car when we ride that!!

He usually goes around to all of the cars, and sits in each one. Somtimes it can be a pain, cause I just wanna move on, but, to keep him from getting grouchy, I indulge him.

After that we went and had Chicken nuggets in America before the concert. Then, we got a seat. The concert was AWESOME!!! I loved these guys in High School, so this brought out a bunch of memories!

Wasn't supposed to, but i snuck in a little video of them. We were a little far away, but the sound was still good. Tyler didn't like the fact that I was breaking the rules, and told me so, a bunch LOL



So, I really enjoyed the concerts this year, we went to 3 others that are coming up soon!!!

That following Saturday, I was over at DW somewhere with Tyler, but forgot where we went, and I didn't have the camera. I think we went to MK, but not totally sure. I need to update more often so I don't forget LOL

On Nov 5th, we headed to MK to wait for Chris's flight to arrive. He came in at 11pm. UG!! So I didn't want to sit home. We got to mk at about 7, rode SM, had an ice cream sandwich, and rode a few things in fantasyland before heading out to the airport!! Chris took off the whole week after he got home, I was super excited!!!!

 

[bouncycat]

I'm finishing up catching up, sorry for all the updates, but had some time on my hands, and figured it was time. We do have some news, which will come in another update, and I got a power chair!!!! I'll update that soon too. gotta take my old guy around, and these videos are gonna take a while to update in photobucket! Enjoy these updates in the mean time!!

 

[bouncycat]

So the sunday after Chris gets home, we went and saw Night Ranger. They were really cool!!! Them old dudes could still rock!! Go figure I forgot the camera!! I wanted to get them on video too, but didn't know if there was gonna be an announcement like Boyz II Men had that there was no video, but they were the only one, out of all the concerts we saw that had that rule. Go figure LOL So, on the night of the 8th of Nov, we went BACK to Epcot to see Air Supply. I REMEMBERED THE CAMERA!!!!! And, lucky enough too. The guys came into the audience, and the main singer Kissed me!!! I got a video, but photobucket won't let me upload it, cause it's over 10 minutes. Bummer, it's a good one LOL Anyways, here's some shots of the guys!!

Once I figure out how to edit the video, I'll post it. I can get it below 10 minutes if I edit it, I think LOL This night, we went to the concert, and then left, since again, school night.

2 nights later, we went BACK and saw Richard Marx. And, we could stay a little later, cause it was the night before Veterans Day. He was awesome too!! We parked at DHS, and took the boat over thru Int. gateway. After we got back to DHS, we decided to head back home, since we were coming back the next day. I may have gotten something of Richard Marx, let me see....here's one!!



Next up is Veterans Day!!

 

[bouncycat]

Wouldn't you know it I forgot the camera on veterans day!!! We headed to Disney Quest, played a few things there, then decided to go check out the Boardwalk. We weren't there to eat, it was cool, and not too much going on. We were kinda dissappointed. The best thing we saw was a magician, and he did a good job. We stayed there and watched him for a while. Chris likes to dabble in magic, so this was a good treat for him. After that, we headed home, cause we were tired.

Now, that following week, Chris found out that he's gonna have to be restationed. I had a hard time keeping up with the house while he was gone for a month, so we have decided to move with him this time. We do not know just yet WHERE, but will let ya'll know when the time comes.

So, with that news, the 19th of Nov, I decided since we're moving in June, I better step up on this quest, so we decided to work on AK some. Julie met us there, but we got in the Crustatious Trail, and Primeval Spin before she met up with us. The trail, pretty boring. A few dino tidbits, and small hidden dino's, and that's it. We didn't see the hype, but, we got to cross it off the list!!!

Before this day, I did a little Christmas shopping, and found this guy at Toys R Us. I just HAD to have him, and I brought him home, and the mini helmet we have fits him!! He came with a rolled up blanket, and was pretty neat.

Here's PW, this ride stopped suddenly at the top, and it banged my shoulder and HURT!! Whoa did it hurt!! Let me cross this one off my list of to do rides!! LOL

After that, we headed to see the Nemo show. I like this show, but Lion King is much better!! In this one, you can't get very good pictures since you can't use a flash, and with the chair, we're always sitting up high. But, good show as always!! After that, we headed towards the Maharanja Trek to see the Tigers. It was a cool day, so they were out and about!!

Love the tigers!! After that, we had just enough time to go see Flights of Wonder. We had never seen this show, and it was really cool!! We enjoyed it quite a bit!!

After that we had lunch. We brought our own sandwiches, and they were GOOD!! After lunch, we parted ways with Julie, she had to go home to take care of a sick hubby. So, we wandered, and then decided to see It's Tough to be a Bug. Then we went the back way behind the show.

Then it was potty break time, I always hop out of my chair and walk in. It's easier that way not to have to worry about the chair, and people, so Chris waited for me

After that I believe we went home. I don't have anymore pics of this day, I think we were tired and just wanted to go home LOL

Next up, what surprise did I have in store for me?? And Thanksgiving weekend....whoa!!

 

[bouncycat]

Almost all caught up!!! So, before Thanksgiving, I drive an old guy around, I never ask him for anything, and he always surprises me!! First with an Ipad, and then on the 22nd, this...

http://www.invacare.com/images/flash/ATm/atm.html

It's just like that one, only red. My Fav color!! He got it used, but it's still in great condition, has an extra battery, and extra set of tires, so I'm all set!!! That afternoon, I went up and picked up Sami. She was with us for the thanksgiving weekend!! I made deviled eggs, Chris made fudge, and the meal on Thursday was AWESOME as usual!!! My family is NEVER a bore!!

Sami wanted to go to Disney while she was with us, so I hashed out a plan for all 4 parks in 2 days. YIKES!! So, I figured we'd try out my new chair. We headed to DHS first, rode ToT, RnRC, TSM, ST, GMR and saw the stunt show.

They had a LMA black car out front, for a close up look, and of course Chris had to look!! LOL

Gotta love siblings!! LOL After DHS, we headed to Epcot. We stayed in FW, and rode TT, MS orange, Soarin, Living with the Land, Nemo, Capt EO, and wandered the aquarium.

This time, Sami wanted a pic in the car!! LOL

Chris had to check out the crash test dummy LOL

Loved the Christmas decorations!!!

We headed home, and put everyone to bed. Then got up the next morning and did it again!!! Just not as early LOL
