OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!! i'm not even a basketball fan and i'm about to have a heart attack. overtime after coming back from 16 points behind!!!!!!!

 

[MeMom]

I hear the screaming for sure now! Sorry, VandyFan.

They got off to a bad start. It was a good comeback, but just not enough right at the end. I had it on as I was working around the house. I saw a missed FT in the last seconds of the first OT. Gotta have all of those in the crucial moments.

I hope the rest of your day is better.

GOOD GRIEF!!!! That game was crazy....and we played HORRIBLE the first half!!!
You just need to go to some games with me at Memorial....you will love it. I know you've been there before....you've just forgotten how good it can be
And I think we'll have a lot of games like this one this year ...I better take my meds

I think this wouldn't be so bad if we hadn't played so poorly and the fact that UK is just not that good this year....not a good loss....and we definitely shouldn't win on Thurs at K-ville ....oh well....life is still good at 16-1.....we just need to continue to win the ones we should

The rest of my day will be good as long as my Packers don't lose....I about to continue my couch-potoato day.......It's snowing in Green Bay and I wish I were there I need to go change into my Favre jersey ....and it's already not good....7-0 Seattle

Thanks for the update! The pics are great!!!!

Glad you decided to do the green version of MS. Trust me, you're not missing anything exciting in the orange version. I'm a thrill rider and I HATED it. It feels like your chest is being sucked into your back and you can't breathe. No wonder people have had heart attacks on that thing.

My hubby is another one who zips through world showcase like there's nothing to see. I swear I haven't really gotten to do anything over there, and its cause he's bored. You're right, it must be a man thing.

Those pics of the Osbourne lights are awesome. I would love to see them in person. Wonder what Disney's electric bill is like...

Good....I'm glad you told me that....I will just stick to the green from now on

Hubby's can be so boring sometimes.....that's why I must have a GIRL TRIP!!!

That's funny b/c I wondered that myself....really in looking at all the Christmas deco's.....what is the freakin' electric bill here?? Would be interesting to know the difference, and whateven their normal electric bill is ...I can't imagine

I just found your report from Punkin's... I read it all in one sitting. Great pictures. You are putting my report to shame.

 

[Remmy]

Beautiful picture report!! My family loves all the castle pictures. Thanks for posting so many wonderful pictures.

Hey Erica! Just wanted to let you know that I've started a new thread over on the Community Board called Random Acts of Randy (see the link in my signature). I'll try to catch up with your trip report this weekend.

 

[morgtroy]

Just wanted to say I LOVE the castle pic. I planning a Christmas trip for our next trip. Just can't wait to see how Disney does the holidays. Your night pics are great, do you mind telling me what model/kind of camera you have. I'm always upgrading and the night shots are always a struggle.
Thanks so much, great trip report.

Not true....can't remember if I've posted on yours or not....but it's a great report....still haven't finished it though

Hey Randy....thanks for the link....you've got such great Christmas photo's there ....and you give me a place to talk about SEC ball and my Dores .....BEWARE!!!!

Beautiful picture report!! My family loves all the castle pictures. Thanks for posting so many wonderful pictures.

Thanks Remmy.....my pics tell my story much better than I ever can

MorgTroy - it is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8K 7.2MP with a 12X zoom...it is a great camera .....and it is my dad's .....they have it on Amazon for about $250...there is an newer version out with a 18X zoom that I would LOVE to have.....I'm sure you could take even better pic's with it if you REALLY knew how to work it....it was my first time taking night shots with it and I had to try out several things and don't even know if I had the best settings really.....but I'm plotting on how to steal it from my dad

You will LOVE being there at Christmas!!! I can't wait to go back then!!

Everybody should try the holidays at Disney at least once. I loved the fall decorations at Halloween and all of the cute window displays and beautiful Christmas trees in December. It made the atmosphere so different than our usual summer trips.

However, the next holiday I'm excited about is....St. Patrick's Day! Now, understand, I don't care one way or the other about it as a holiday, but it just so happens to be our spring break, so I'll be back in Disney World! So, I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to this St. Patrick's Day more than any other I've ever known.

Are you already booked to go back for Christmas? Our annual passes run out in July, so after that, we might have a long dry spell of not getting to go. I told Jill I could only make it not going for a whole 'nuther year if she'd give me another grandbaby during that year, so we'll see. She and John and Brooklynn are going back in October, and after that, I'm hoping to hear that I'll be a MeMom again!

Hey Erica! I'm finally caught up. I'm usually not scared to ride anything, but I was very apprehensive about riding the orange side of Mission Space because of the bad press it has gotten. But I rode it not once but twice and LOVED it (my 6-year-old son loved it too...he's the one who insisted that we ride a second time)! Yes, it is quite intense, but it's so realistic. You really feel like a real astronaut.

Loved the pics of Coral Reef. I'm not sure if I've seen any pics of it before. I'll have to eat there on a future visit to WDW.

Great pics of my favorite Disney park--Epcot--and also of the Osborne lights! Your pics are really making me want to visit WDW at Christmastime.

 

[2girlsmom]

Wow, what GREAT pics! Now I know that I need to Osbourne lights and Coral Reef to my next trip! We missed both those, though I loved Garden Grill, when we were at Epcot, we are all in agreement that we have to try all different restaurants the next trip.

The pictures of Disney at Christmas are beautiful. I'll get there when I get Masters and I'm done with school. I vaguely remember Opryland, I wasn't old enough to really remember it when we went. I do have to say Opry Mills is much better than Hickory Hollow to me.

 

[carri5317]

Great report! Can't wait to hear more!

 

[VandyFan10]

Hey guys.....we just got our PhotoPass CD!!!

I'm going to post several pics for the first five days and that will get us up to date to where I am in my posts....you will see to go along with my obsession with the Castle....my FAVE clip art was definitely ...I used this on so many of our pics....but I just felt it worked for the moment

Day one: our first park

Second day at Epcot

Right before our most wonderful dinner at LeCellier

Wandering after dinner....misera-belly STUFFED!!

MGM (I can still call it that right??)

I'm SCARED!!!

We took the pic's with Stitch....but they didn't work ....I was very upset we didn't try that again like the MANY Tink pics you will see later

More to follow.....

 

[MeMom]

Good pictures. I thought of you a little while ago when the Vandy - Florida game was on.

 

[VandyFan10]

At the wonderful Magic Kingdom!!!

After our early dinner at the Crystal Palace

OK....this pic is crazy....but will be one of my faves b/c of what happened

Matt's 'surprise' face is HILARIOUS!!! The guy told us to look surprised and I saw Matt's face out of the corner of my eye, I'm already trying NOT to laugh and after dude snapped it I said 'WHAT WAS THAT???!!!???' I thought he had just RUINED my picture of us and Tink ...it really was funny....and we did do more later....you'll have to wait to see.....but I also got to do a few on my own , but I felt really bad after....making fun of his idea of a 'suprise' face....but you know....can't you do better

The morning of my tour...I did a few pics on my own

And the sweet lady asked me to put my hands together to hold Tink!!! I was thinking....OH THANK YOU honey ...you have no idea how bad my pic was yesterday

Our evening at Epcot

Back to MGM....the night I would have taken a walk instead of the Boat....

OK....that should be enough pics of myself and the hubby....I will try to mix these in with the last 2 days of my TR

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!
