Still Feeding Nebo: The may trip final chapter pg 122, Dec. 31

[SoonerGirl]

I'll play - teehee

I turned 6 in May of '75

 

[Piglets Mommy]

I'll play too! I was the ripe old age of 2

Ahoy there

By the way, are impatiens normally supposed to be six feet tall?
Ok, I know I'm way behind, so I'm going to start from the back and work my way forward in handfuls. Ever since they took away my puter at work, and most of the other ones, iti's gotten bit trickier keeping up. I will have a new chapter up tomorrow for sure, even if I have to start drinking at 6 in the morning.
I mean typing.


Am I still a good hubby since I got my self one also?

We haven't had quite the storms you all have, but it has rained pretty much every day, so the weeds are That was on the agenda for today, but it looks like it's gonna rain AGAIN

No, You don't mean Typing...you DO mean DRINKING. It's more fun that way!

Yeah...you can have a margarita ans still be a good hubby. Now if you had one, and didn't get her one, then WATCH OUT!!!!

 

[RHONDALEE]

Wow, 40 years! Good going. Say hi to Roebuck for me.

No can do - When Kmart took over Sears, Alvin Roebuck was the first one to get his walking papers. They changed the name from Sears Roebuck and Co. to Sears Holdings Inc.


And I'll play too - I was 26 for the first 8 months of 1975 when I turned 27 on August 16th. (Yes, Elvis died on my birthday 2 years later)

Try not to take it personally.

 

[Sleeping*Beauty]

In 75 I wasn't alive.

I am at page 40. Just marking my spot. Slowly catching up!

Still doesn't have a cell phone.

Still doesn't have a cell phone.

Ah ha ha, Jaime, you got me.
You just wait. When you start doing yours for real, I can't wait to ask everyone what their astrological sign is. Oh yes, I will play dirty too.

I'm in.

I was 2 for most of '75 until I turned 3 in November.

Oh yeah, Nebo, love the report. Keep it coming!

Hi license plate, glad you could join us, but you're not the youngest here. Looks like two people have you beat.

Hmm, nothing showed up. At least not to me in my multi qoute window. Wonder what I was going to comment on? Must not have been too important.

Hiya Nebo...We just got back from our trip and had a great time.

You were right about the Flametree BBQ. It was one of the better counter service meals we had all trip.

Hi Kyle, glad it worked out for you. Did the Japanese members of your group agree? By the way, you can have the rest of my Sox team to go along with Maggs. They're certainly no use here.

Rhonda

Well, Rhonda, it's just you and me and Marita, bringing up the geriatric set. And whom do we have to thank for this? HMMM? And you LIKE going to Disney with her?

Rhonda has left the building!

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Geriatric set??? I resemble that remark!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you know that in the Villages (huge retirement community in FL), they consume more booze than ( I forgot the comparison), just get the drift, and STD is rampant.. Geriatrics know how to have fun.

Not to mention riding all over town in golf carts. Did I mention that is my ambition?

 

[nebo]

Before I forget, I have been a tad remiss here.
A celebrity birthday has come and gone, and I kept failing to acknowledge it.
You ask "Why?", with a furrowed brow.
Why is it so important to mention some stupid celebrity's birthday on this thread?
I'll tell you.
It's because it's my favorite celebrity name of all time. No, we're not talking Dweezil, or Moon Unit. Nothing that blase'. Some of you from the last report know this answer. But, hey, can't let a Birthday go by.

I'm talking about the greatest celebrity "Spoonerism" name, of all time.
You know spoonerism's? Where you exchange the first letters of each name, and end up with a "Spittney Brears?" Well, good ol' Brangelina came up with the perfect name for their kid.

Happy Birthday, Shiloh Pitt!

Now, I think we would all agreee that Epcot is incredible in May, the flowers just blow you away. And that after that, it's a downer, at least landscaping wise. But not so.

From last Sept. a free dining trip.

Some parts are still very pretty.

After Illum. it's about 9:30 , our dinner plans were either a counter service here, or back at the food court. But neither one of us were hungry , so we just did a slow wander, enjoying that we don't have to make a mad dash to the exit for the bus.

Sometimes, EMH can be really cool, even if you don't really do much riding.

Test TRack said 45 minutes, we passed.

Mission Chunks said only "5 vomits" from here. we passed again.

We actually ended up sitting at the fountain smoking area again for awhile. It looks really cool when it goes off at night, which is not all that often.

Then I shocked her.

"Ok, ready to try "Grinding Nebo" at night?"
"WHat?" "You haven't learned?"
"Obviously not." And we did.

There was a night and day difference between night and day. She reached for my hand to go through the line, I just batted it away. Heh heh
I made it through pretending I was playing one of Rhonda's old games, "Operation." I never once even touched the sides or even the railing.

This time when we got up there , I wanted everybody to know what a capable, well rounded, well adjusted young man I am.

"I'm getting in the Clamshell, now."
"Oh , look, there is the seat, WAY behind the open doorway. "
"Be Careful, honey, you don't want to FALL."

I was very surpised they didn't give me an ovation when I finally sat down.

Like Dinosaur, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion, this ride is a big difference in what you can see at night.

It's still boring, but at least your eyes have something to do.

Uh oh, uh oh, it's list time.
Ahem.

DisneyWorld's top ten worst ride LINES, for the light impaired.

1. Tower of Terror. Hands down, and sometimes full frontal down. One time on my own, I got to be on a first name basis with ol' ROD, cuz I saw the preshow TWICE, just trying to leave that room.

2. Space Mountain. Just when you think you're gonna make it, there is another bend and a quarter mile to go.

3. Finding Nebo. Enough said.

4. Haunted Mansion. By the time I got in, I didn't call them Doom Buggies, I called them Rescue Vehicles.

5. Pirates of the Carib. When the rows are separated by short rails, do not try to get in row 3 and 1/2.

6. El rio del Tiempo. Not much line here, but if you go in the day, from the bright sunshine into dark Mexico, you can easily just walk right into the river.

7. Rocknroller Coaster. A false sense of security leaves you stranded in a psuedo alley.

8. The Great Movie Ride. Yes, those fancy velvet ropes can get you in the middle of the day. Instead of Footlight Parade, and The Searchers, they should start showing Balls of Fury.

Ok, I guess i only have 8. Amazingly, Dinosaur doesn't make the list, you may be blind in the ride, but at least you can see in the line.

Even I was getting worried that I wouldn't be able to come up with any more lists.

Now, this time of night is a great time to look at the exhibits, we had the Coral Reef section all to ourselves, it was great! I was thinking about trying Soarin again, but , still, we heard the line was 50 minutes. As we headed out just one more thing on the "do do" list.

That's "to do" list.

We just walked right on Spaceship Earth, and I got to listen to "Simon" again.

Anybody? Go for it!

And I STILL really miss, "Tomorrow's Child". That was just a great, uplifting song, but that was when Walter Chronkite was the narrator. The ride is now sponsered by Siemens, not ATT anymore, and trust me, there are enough signs telling you that. And we all know that it won't be open come this September, right? Wonder what the changes will add.

The bus didn't take long at all, and I actually got a seat.
The old lady in the ecv didn't seem to mind at all, me sitting in her lap.

Honestly, when you leave around 11, on an Emh night, there is no wait at all, at least there wasn't this night.

Back at CBR, it was a major decision time. Since tomorrow is a "nothing" day, we decided to make a drink, and just wander around a bit. This is something that we have tried to change in our attitudes.

What's the point in staying at the resort you picked out and are paying for, if you never really even see it?

Most of the time, you might as well stay at the ASsports.

Sitting by the Aruba pool was nice, then we moved on to Jamaica, and had a smoke sitting by that pool. Two kids were playing in that pool, which surpised me cuz it's getting a bit nippy out. But then I remembered the times when we were young, it could be fifty degrees and your lips could be cobalt blue, and you would still be telling your mom, I'm F-f-f-fine, rrrrrealy!.

And guess what? NOW, we're getting a little hungry. The itinerary had us eating a counter service meal, somewhere tonight, and you never want to argue with the itinerary.

I looked at my watch, and it's about ten to 12.
"I don't know, the food court may be open. Maybe just a station or two."

So we headed across the bridge, it really wasn't that important, we just thought we'd check. Besides, I wanted to find out where the hot tub was, not that I wanted to go in, just , you know, to know.

That bridge across from Aruba and Jaimaca to the Towne Center at night is terrific. You can't see a thing, and lots of little places to hide in.

I was able to hold up 3 French tourists, a couple from Japan, and an old lady from Arkansas, before I felt I was pushing my luck. heh

The food court was closed. Nada. Ok, now I'm looking for the hot tub.
And we can't find it. Remember, we have stayed here before, although, back in '92.
Finally we saw a cast member hard at work making sure there is no more than one half inch between all the loungers by the pool and asked him. He pointed out the cellar that is connected to the food court that you have to climb up the stairs first, then descend to the little, tiny dungeon that has a jucuzzi the size of most peoples bathtubs, at the bottom.

As pretty and well themed that I think CBR is, the hot tub is brutal. From what I understand, the whole pool area is going to be closed for at least six months, this had better be in the re-design.

I guess this will do it for tonight. I have more pics of Epcot, but we won't be back till next friday. goodnight.

I soooo did not need to know that! My mother lives north of Tampa in one of those said-communities and well.... eewwwwww!
Now I have to go read Nebo's update - hopefully it will erase the thought of my mother going out on a bender in her golf cart and coming home with... nope, can't even type it!

OHH, GIRLS ARE GONNA HAVE FUN111
It's called something like golden years for a reason

 

[zigzagzerr]

Okay, Nebo.

We just got home from vacation today, and my husband is looking at me, trying to figure out why I feel I must rush to the computer to tell Nebo that we almost got taken out by a very tall, very heavy, maniacally driven mousekeeping cart at the Pop Century!!!!

You were right to warn me. Those things are mighty scary!!!

I don't know what's scarier, those, or the little grocery carts that some kids always bangs into your heels!

This may be the funniest part so far.

 

[monymony3471]

Your lives are like a soap opera. I can't believe I missed all the excitement.

Marking my spot on page 53.

Good thing now you don't have a cell phone. I guess?

Here's to reading about bigger and better things.

 

[UncleScrooge338]

Hello Nebo,

I'm a long time lurker who has really enjoyed your trip report. I finally had to come out of lurkdom to join in.

In 75 I was 21.

And I STILL really miss, "Tomorrow's Child".

I thought I was the only one who LOVED that song. I was so happy when I finally downloaded it somewheres online.

Thank you for brightening our days!

 

[scrap4u]

Hi Nebo Another longtime lurker. Really enjoying your report. I have to be careful not to Laugh out loud when I'm reading it at work!

I have that song Tomorrow's Child. It's on the anniversary CD they put out lasts fall. It's a great cd with songs from all the rides on it.

I was 15 in 1975, TFI!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I am proud to be in the company I am...Jaime, utahmama and me are all the same age!

I'm checking your updates from the beaches of north Carolina, no way I'm missing a nebo update.

...so whens the next one?
