Hey Doc, you were there the same time we were! What building were you in? We were in 5221 this trip. I was surprised to have no bus noise, since the bus turns around in that parking area for South Point.

Did you go to the Jan. 14 member's update? I was there! I saw NO green ribbons all 10 days we were there. I wore mine faithfully too!

 

[RobDoc]

We were in 3121- across from the tennis court at Turtle Pond.

South Point is a great area with little noise in most villas. Glad your's was quiet!

We did attend the update. I was the one who got the caps for having the most points and for knowing the ending date for DVC. That meeting was very well attended! I had on my DIS shirt, but no green ribbon that morning.

We walked to DD each morning and did a little exploring at the SSR site. I'll try to get those pics up later. Not much to see yet, except a lot of heavy equipment.

great pics.....but I still think my advcice i gave to people abouit shuttle launches is still valid.....just go out on your balcony, take a cigarrette lighter. Light it at your waist and slowly move it up past your face. Then you can see what it actually looks like from disney

 

[dianeschlicht]

You know, I thought that might be you!!! It even occored to me that day, but I didn't get to see your face because I was directly behind you!

If I am correct the picture in this post is of the columbia launch on the 16th of january....I thought it kind of sobering, and thought this should be bumped up. little did we all know this picture would be in a way historical...I must say that my earlier post on this subject seems trivial at best....just thought I would share this with people.
