Hello Boys and girls, once again it is time for a Nebo wildlife picture seance, even though you've seen similar pictures before from me.
Seance? Why in the heck did I type seance?
I meant sequence, does that make more sense?
No, not gonna get the deer to sit in a circle all humming "OHMMM",,, waiting for Bambi to come and speak to them, besides, how does a hoof hold another hoof on either side of them?
Ok, I came downstairs in the morning a couple of days ago, and there was a big shadow right outside our sliding doors.
He saw my movement and stood up, what was funny was it seemed to be lying down right next to Mischief, who was out all night and waiting to be let in.
No, Mischief isn't a slut, I got her 11 years ago from the shelter and she was fixed and declawed,,,and I don't think ever forgiven me for that,,, but she get's along with everything.
Well, except maybe some mice.
Not sure why, but these pictures came out really faded it seemed to me,,,maybe because it was cloudy and the sun wasn't really up much this early.
Ok, just gonna post what I've still got here:
Yes, that's our screen door in the way,,,,,shows I'm not making this up...
There was 4 of them all total, eating my dead impatiens in my pots that were euthanized by the first frost.
Ta Da!

Knock,,,,,,,,,
three times on the ceiling if you want me,,
From the department of corrections, I totally forgot getting stuck on the monorail leaving the Grand Floridian.
We boarded, it moved, it stopped, we sat.
Took about 15 minutes before we got underway again, nodt sure what was wrong, the omnipresent voice over went silent as well.
Back in our room, we made ourselves some pre-made drinks and went and sat on the balcony. I have found
that this is the best time for these kind of drinks,,,,
when it's getting late and you want one more drink but probably not too much alcohol,
this is where these come in.
Now, I want to show you some pictures I've been saving for you.
I've taken pictures direct from the balconey, of the lake, Water Pageant, thunderstorms, sky writing and of course, the pool,, but not what is directly below us.
Boy, that sounds kind of ominous, doesn't it?
No, it's nothing really special, it's just weird!
Here's the straight down shot, maybe a little bit back to our right,,,
Kind of hard to tell what you're looking at, isn't it?
Ok, let's go downstairs, the fist picture is a reflecting pool just outside the doors.
Now, lets see what that garden in the top picture looks like close up:
Yes, that's right! They have somehow learned how to grow and cultivate,,,,, Aluminum!
I wonder if Roderigo knows about this.
It really is the strangest thing, but at least now I know what happens to old Schwinn bicycles and hula hoops.
With that, we are off to bed. Tomorrow is an Epcot day and our last night here at BLT.
Wednsday, September 14
We decided to skip rope drop and give the pool one more chance in the morning, it was of course a lot more pleasant
withiout the yellow jackets and crowd, but after a couple of hours we headed over to Epcot.
This time the monorail worked just fine.
You know, I'm going to do something right now unprecedented in one of my trip reports, I'm going to break the 4th wall.
Ok, ok, right, what wall?
Anyway, I want you all to know there will be no more trouble from the Beast for the rest of our stay at Disney, no more sadness, no more gnashing of teeth.
On the trip home?
That's another story!
I have to admit, on our ride to Epcot that day, I got inside my head a bit.
We have now been in Disney 8 nights now, and while our pulling up at CBR was like the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather, end of the hurrican, not quite the same over here at BLT.
No fault of BLT, but it's where we got the bad news from home, then we got the bad news from the CCC, and well, I'm looking forward to getting out of here before I come down with Cystic Fibrosis or Anthrax or whatever else is waiting to happen to us while we are staying here.
Oh, and that's where Smidgy also told me I don't look good in my red tank top anymore.
(sorry)
I had one goal today at Epcot, ok, well, two.
Of course it's to see Illuminations, the greatest nightime show in the world, but it's also to catch the group that's replaced The Brittish Invasion at one of the Epcot countries, whose name escapes me right now, darn, which one was it?
I had a sick feeling in my stomach when we walked in, and it turned out my sick feeling was correct,,,, I HATE when that happens!
The band was off today, nothing going on in the England pavillion. Yeah, that's what it was, England,,and no band, and not even Robert, it was a nightmare for me.
( I know, Ponzi, but I had to )
Ok, time for a mystery picture, I'll even throw two at you:
So, are you ready for some, um, entertainment?
Meet the Jammitors! Video time, turn on those speakers.
This is the first time we have really stopped and listened to them and I expected more. I think their set lasted only 8 minutes.
What we did do though was spend a lot of time over in the Seas with Nemo pavillion, even sitting in with Crush to taking the ride and then looking at all the exhibits and taking the quizzes.
Say hi to Crush.
From here we walked over to the Showcase and watched Martin try to sell us on how nice Canada really is, but we weren't buying it.
One thing we always like to catch is the Voices of Liberty though, so once again make sure your speakers are on...
We also watched the Barney Fife and Drum corp but we didn't go and see the American Adventure again, I wasn't in the mood to see Franklin keep putting down my buddy Mark Twain for a half hour.
After talking about it, we decided for some strange reason to go all the way back to the Land and took the boat ride looking to see if Roderigo was walking around in there again.
No she wasn't.
WIth both of us hungry we decided on a late lunch, actually, she called it a late lunch, I said it was an early dinner, but we got the pork chop meal from Sunshing Seasons, and it was very good.
A bit more than I'd like to pay for a counter service meal, but when the original plan today was eating at Biergarten, which we nixed because after eating at Trail's End we didn't feel we could eat our money's worth at Biergarten either. Not when paying out of pocket.
After our meal, we hadn't had any drinks today yet, and usually after I eat I'm ready for bed, but we brought little bottles with us, so after buying a big pop bottle Smidgy went and stole us a couple of cups with ice in them from the self serve section down there, we then went over to, of all places, the smoking section across from the Land and set up bar mixing drinks.
Then we just walked around for awhile, sitting by the fountain, got a fastpass for an hour from now at Test Track. Around 6:30 we tried to get into Ellen's Energy Field, but she wasn't having any part of us with cups in our hands, so we went back and worked on finishing our drinks, then we went back and caught the last show of the night before they closed at 7.
Yep, once every 3 years here is enough, thank you Ellen, at least she didn't do her dance.
This is probably the longest show in Disney, when it was done it was also time for our fastpass at Test Track.
TT is open till nine, and for some reason, standby is now up to a half hour, good call on the fastpass.
After one final "Sure am" in chorus at the right time during the ride, we headed over to Showcase Plaza to watch Illuminations.
With about 20 minutes to kill, we stopped behind some kids at the railing and took up turf right there.
At some times even helping this family with kids hold there spots for them, you know how rough that can be.
Then it started, and in 80 degree temperatures, I got the chills all over like I always do for this.
I think the musical score is just brilliant the way it moves through the show.
As the last glowing piece of phosphorous fell into the water, we were off like a shot for the exit.
Sometimes during this charge she has me by the hand, other times we can't do it that way for fear of beheading small children and I have to find my way and keep up on my own.
I once found an opening and shot through it hugging the inside rail and saving ground, when I hit another wall of people I looked behind me for Smidgy, but she was one over right in front of me, not sure how she did it.
Usually no matter how fast we are, there is still a contingent that always beats us to the bus stop, but this time we shot up the ramp to the monorail as the hordes filled in behind us.
Hordes. Not a typo. Geesh.
I guess that's it for tonight, tomorrow we head on over to AkL. I have no name for this chapter, I'm losing it.
(oh, i'm missing MASH, hmm, wonder what's in the fridge, is that cheesecake still in there? And why am I telling all of you this?)
Great descriptive words, and they work, too.
if any of you remember)...it was cool to see them go on all at once. but then it is also crowded. wo we walked around once. then went back later when it was less crowded, so we weren't rushed. look for the black cat. stnad for a bit at theintersection of the 2 ain streets and look all around. I love it when the music plays and the lights come to life.
. (I should add she was about four at the time
