Oh what a horrible trip!!!! Now for something completely different-Final blast ......

[Poolrat]

Sorry I missed the send off. Guess you are probably getting close by now. Hope you had a safe drive and have a great week in your happy place!

Pat, I hope you have a great time.

Have a fantastic trip!

ooohhhhh look at that sky...gorgeous!!!!

OH Wow... YOU have another trip ... tomorrow...

You go - have a great time....

Have a great trip! (Again!)

Beautiful shot with the boardwalk and sunset. so pretty.

Hope you are having fun again!

Hope you are having a fantastic time! Have a cosmo slushie for me

I DID


I AM BACK and staying put for a while..... Glad to be home and I had a wonderful Food and Wine trip.

Geez, I am behind. Since I last posted you have been to DL and now you are in WDW. Way to go!!!! Hope you are having a great time!!!

Too bad about the 4th of July pins.

Love your picture of the BW.

Muppets is Jeremy's Plan A every trip!!! He loves that show. It is cute but I would like to see it updated.

I scored 4 nights at the BC in November!!! Can't wait to visit your home resort.

Hope you are all caught up and I guess I am making it kind of easy for you.

YAY for staying at BC. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I vary what I do at DHS every trip. DHS is good that way enough for my every mood.

I missed the send off but not the Meet !! More to come I'm sure !!!

I had a blast hanging with you and the crew. Never a dull moment.

I'm so glad to hear your bath and nap took care of the onset of heat exhaustion.

GORGEOUS sunset pictures of the Boardwalk.

I'm so glad to hear you your home resort. I remember when the Swan and Dolphin first opened thinking how cool it would be to be able to stay close enough to my favorite park to walk there. Well, then, there were just two parks, but still... Now there are resorts EVEN closer! And two parks in walking distance.

There really is a lot to do at Hollywood Studios so that even if the headliners are busy, you can still occupy yourself with attractions that are not too shabby in their own right!

Sorry I missed your sendoff- hope you are all having a fantastic time!!!

I can always find something to do at DHS. Just depends on my mood I guess.
Once again I love my home resort. Walking back from Food and Wine is priceless. Hope to get back to this July trip soon.

Seriously if you get dates let me know. Just realized I can book BCV for next year in a couple of weeks depending on dates.

It was good to see you, although we didn't get a chance to talk much. Too much going on and too many people to see. And you had baby-holding duties and everything.

I will get to make morning walks around Beach Club in March. Can't tell you how much easier that makes things as I gear up for the winter months!

 

[teekathepony]

Welcome back!! I can't wait to hear all about everything! Glad to have lots more reading material!

I loved having baby holding duties even though she was not too fond of me by the end.

I KNOW you will love Beach Club and all the beauty the Boardwalk area has to offer.

I know we will overlap again.

Welcome back!! I can't wait to hear all about everything! Glad to have lots more reading material!

Thanks - I hope to get rolling again soon.

So Where did I leave you??? At the end of July 2nd after a very crowded DHS.

Tuesday July 3rd.


Part of the reason DHS was not a huge priority last night was that I knew I was heading back in the AM.

Once again I was attempting to successfully make a rope drop.
Up and at the boat dock by 8:30

A strange bird out for a walk.

A patriotic shot.

Another required BO shot.

While technically I MADE rope drop there was no rope drop. The early release so noTSMstampede rope drop was in full effect so I leisurely walked over to TSM for FP

And then proceeded to get in the standby line.

Now for my biggest Pet peeve.

Both those crayons are yellow green. Clearly they are different colors. Now if one was yellow green and the other was green yellow I would get it. After some research I am confident the second one is yellow green. The first one looks more like Green Blue.

Back to queue pictures. A few of “bad” boys.

Mr. Potatohead.

Angry eyes??

As some would say in the South ( especially my nephew when he was little ) MOO COW

Not my tumble monkey but a pretty one nonetheless.

I had to chuckle at this.

Child toy or adult ad????

The question of the update..... At what time did I reach the front of the line???? Hints in update and the FP

 

[natebenma]

Looks like a nice morning from your boat ride pictures. Yeah for making it to not-rope-drop, getting a reasonably timed FP and making it through the standby line quickly- I'm gonna say you made it to the front of the line around 9:25.

That is too funny about the crayon! I'll have to look for that next time I am there.

 

[KatMark]

I'm going to say 9:14 a.m. you reached the front of the line.

I so see what you are saying about the two crayons...two different colors but with the same wording. I think you should call Disney and have them fix it...maybe they'll give you a lifetime Fastpass for TSM.

 

[teekathepony]

Hmmm, I've never noticed the crayons incorrectly labeled before. Darn. Now it's going to be a pet peeve of mine too! Hahaha I loved crayons as a kid and knew every colour. If my memory serves me, I think you're right about the first one being blue green.

 

[Charleston Princess]

As a former expert in Crayola crayons (I LOVED coloring when I was younger), I can assure you that the second one is the yellow green.

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

I am loving this report so much because when you talk about leaving the Beach Club or taking the boat from the Beach Club dock... I can picture doing it in a month...

So you aren't into the TSM stampede? I'll bet you its not a heck of a lot crazy than they running of the bulls in Spain...

I'm guessing you get to the front by 9:20

I never noticed those bad boys before...

 

[Mndisneygirl]

I'd have to agree - you found a flaw in Disney's usual great attention to detail in those crayons!

I'm going to guess you made it to the front at 9:34. I'm not sure you would get in the stand-by line if it was much more than 30 minutes...

 

[jenseib]

Good eye, but I am laughing that you did research on the crayon colors.....something I would do too.

 

[MeMom]

Enjoyed your TSMM pictures.

The Boardwalk area pictures are very pretty, too.

The girls tried to give Bo a bottle of water on this trip. They thought all that soda might be rotting his teeth.

One guess for 9:25. !!

That crayon drives me nuts every time. I keep checking to see if they fixed it.

I'm going to say 9:14 a.m. you reached the front of the line.

One guess for 9:14.

Hmmm I might need to at least tell Ed (dancin princesses dad )

I'll take a lifetime FP to TSM.

I really did look it up .....

It does bother me every time I go through.

As a former expert in Crayola crayons (I LOVED coloring when I was younger), I can assure you that the second one is the yellow green.

Yup it is I looked it up to be sure -

That first one needs to go....

You will LOVE the BC.

The TSM stampede can be a thrill but it really is too much and I am kind of glad that there is a secret rope drop and soft opening now.


Guess for 9:20


Look up for the bad boys.

I'd have to agree - you found a flaw in Disney's usual great attention to detail in those crayons!

I'm going to guess you made it to the front at 9:34. I'm not sure you would get in the stand-by line if it was much more than 30 minutes...

Only time I have seen such a pretty big flaw. I mean that crayon is WAY off.

Guess for 9:34.

Good eye, but I am laughing that you did research on the crayon colors.....something I would do too.

Yup DORK here - I knew it wasnt right ( Always loved the 64 box) but needed to verify.

Enjoyed your TSMM pictures.

The Boardwalk area pictures are very pretty, too.

The girls tried to give Bo a bottle of water on this trip. They thought all that soda might be rotting his teeth.

You will be waking up to that in March!!!!

The few moments I actually wait in the queue I spend taking pictures that I might not have taken before.

About the water for Bo.

 

[glennbo123]

Nice catch on the crayon colors! With the imagineers' attention to detail, I'm surprised about that.

I'll guess that you got to the front of the line at 9:25. Edited to revise....I see you already have a guess for that time, so I'll go with 9:26.

 

[eandesmom]

so annoying. Tried to post a reply twice from the iphone app and it wouldn't let me. No clue why! I could read threads...was logged in...but couldn't reply.

Funny. I took pictures of the bad boys too...don't recall noticing them before!

9:18

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

I am going to have to check out those crayons! Strange. The one sort of looked blue in the picture.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Nice BW pictures! And good job finding the lifeguard.

I agree, that first crayon is green. I bet the Imagineers cut a corner there and had the yellow-green template used twice to make the display.

I'll say you got to the ride at 9:15.
