Prologue
(prologue was written and posted on June 6,2007)

" Ok... the reason behind why I have not been around... you know how you tend to be good with math when it comes to the WORLD ??? Well.. if you guys remember dmom is coming this Thursday the 7th... and I wasn’t expecting that they will give me a weeks off next week at work since its like pulling tooth and nail but they gave me off.. then if you also remember my mini SUV drinks gas like its water from Hoover dam ! So after doing the math... just going to the nearest mall will cause me $55 to fill up... multiply that from 7th to the 15th... that’s $440 ... for eating out for the 3 of us... $100 fur just lunch (unless me and dsis plays tag team with margarita then it would be more) that’s $800 ... of course you would end up in some mall... and if mom shops.... even with the discount I get at the TDS would cause me a good $500 ... then staying home.. of course I would be using electric to cool the house... water when they have the need to wash :rotfl: maybe about $100 ... totals to $1840 and that’s not counting the soap in washing clothes, milk and other basic home necessities. To make rhyme and reason to my madness... me and dsis went halfway and decided to take mom to WDW... and the second reason why I have not been around... is do you know it is fully booked in June ?? so I was trolling the phone lines since Monday... no availability from value to deluxe...other than the cabins at WL and GF and no way we're staying there too upscale :faint:... sooooooo we renewed tha AP for $300( which can be use for more trips), got the room at SSR for $150 a night with the AP discount...flying via SWA we're only paying for dmom since me and dsis got the free ones already... so that totals to $900 .... and dmom shoulders the meal ticket :banana: now knowing that is fully booked... I am contemplating for a rental so thats what I am trolling for... looking for a good discount.... 1st time to go in June but dsis is excited to get there on Star Wars Weekend... so if there’s anything you need me to buy for you.... you know where to find me (PM away)... I will be adding the flicker window by Friday to my siggie...:rolleyes1 "


BTW as of today trolling for the rental is over.. found an economy car for $82 for a week!!!!


Happy Trailssssssssssssss :car:



What really happend ???

Ok… let’s do this… as stated in a few of the threads I regularly check… this was an impromptu trip… Never in my wildest dream that I will be at the WORLD on a June!!! But due to the increase in gas prices I was forced to do it blame on the government and petrol!!!

Ok… camera check… Ernie checks… Bert had to stay behind since I was not planning in doing any serious posing for this trip… main goal??? M A R G A R I T A and lots of sleep! Also majority of the picture in this trip was taken by my cell phone so if there’s noise in the picture that’s the reason why!

We left Philadelphia Saturday the 9th of June. I went to work Friday till midnight. I had the whole week to pack but as always I wait for the last minute. While packing this is what mom was doing!!!

Comfortably sleeping in my living room!!!

And 7:30AM came and off we go to the airport… this is the same spot where we missed our flight the last time so you know I was a bit edgy! Again that was mom cool as always!

Finally it is all behind us now and time to look for lunch! But they are still serving breakfast so we had to deal! Egg sandwich from Burger king!

After a hearty meal me and dsis took turns in drooling over this pillow, don’t worry I always bring extra pillow case!

ma4.jpg


Mom was a trooper… this is only her second flight for SWA but she was already seated on row A as soon as the last flight on our gate left!!! While me and dsis scout the magazine racks Finally we boarded!!! 4th Row!!!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh... dont hold your breath for it.... that Sunday when we went he was in and out of his corner since it was raining on and off... the lines was so long we just took a picture of dsis having Darth Vader in the back ground... even the fast passes for autographed pics were gone within less than 45 minutes :faint:
 
Was the SW weekend that crowded? :eek:
 
Was the SW weekend that crowded? :eek:

you cant really feel the crowd since all SW fanatic like us were situated at the backlot. Not alot went in costumes this time but the Storm troopers were all over the place... :cloud9:
 
After a good 40 minutes waiting in line to collect the car at Enterprise Rental where do we go next???? To see the Earl!!!
The meal that it was….
dmealdatitwas.jpg


Off to go to the Guest Relations to get the AP and then to Publix and finally to SSR…

Dmom did not have any idea till we got here and this was her 1st reaction when I welcome her home!!!
zzzz.jpg


And finally we hit the front desk… due to last minute bookings and SSR being full the to rim we were lucky that we still got bldg. Congress. It was the last room available according to the CM. And so we got our pocket… me and dsis only realized that we got almost the same room from the last time… after going in circles looking for the right one it hit us and we both laugh out loud! We were just above 2546 now we are at 2636 which means looking out through the window all you see are bushes and tree. Maybe next time we go back we can have 2736 or better yet 2836. After unpacking and setting up our little kitchenette, changing our sheets (you should know this about me by now)

Wiping the toilet sits and checking the carpet we took mom for a nice walk around SSR and after the nice long walk we hit the pool! Sorry dsis and dmom requested no pics of them in the pool, uh huh am the only brave and carefree one!!! Hey am on vacation and I really don’t care if you get jealous of my figure :lmao: Just what I had explained to my doctor, I am not obese I am just “Pleasantly Plump” Finally we head back to our room to relax and get ready for the next day! Originally we planned to do commando style on Sunday the 10th of June since this is our 1st Star Wars weekend. So we have the clock set for 6AM so we’ll have enough time to shower and have breakfast and be at the park by 8AM.

Well!!! We did wake up at around 6:45AM and decided to run to the pool again while it was nice and quiet!

This is my favorite spot in all of SSR. I can sit here and fall asleep. As a matter of fact I did! The last time we were here dsis even have the nerve to let me carry on with an orchestra, I was snooring up a storm!

My Pool!!! My waterhole (no I am talking about me here not Pumba OK!)

And guess what??? By the time we got to MGM you know what time it is??? Lunch time!!! We have ADR at Hollywood and Vine and I think we’re the only one there who did not have any kids. Oh well we are the BIG KIDS!!!

Dsis and Dmom ready to attack the buffet!

And after a series of trip to the buffet line it is time to go hit the park! (Again) By the time we got to the Backlot it was packed with kids so we decided to take the scenic route!

We will be there Sept 1 - 7.

Times going by so fast. This is our last trip for a bit. Maybe we will go back 2009?
