i started reading your report before our trip and everytime we went on a ride I'd point to the little sign and say to my friends, "no dancing." carolyn thought i came up with that, I had to inform her I wasn't that clever. She was very disapointed, lol.
ya, I've been to Disney like 14, 15, maybe it's 14... i dunno, a bunch of times now and I'm reading this and I'm like, I never saw that, I never noticed that, there's an exhibit at Norway??
it's amazing all the little things you miss
question: have you ever had the magical marshmallow smores at prime time? my friends and I can't figure out how they make them so perfect. Our leading theory is that it involves pixi dust

You'll have to let me know if you pop up in the background of any of my photos, Donna!
I just got e-mail from my web host that I've hit 80% of my bandwidth, so if the photos go down, I'm working to upgrade my account so I can get them back up ASAP

Just a FYI- There is a exit for One Man's Dream for those who don't want to see the movie. I usually use it as an excuse to get in a smoke break while everyone else watches the movie. I believe it's a green door before the corridor where the movie entrance is. I'm really enjoying the trip report, great work

Day 5- November 30, 2005
Before I really get started on Day 5, I have news! My sister called up about a week ago and said that she has a week off coming up in Feb, and is thinking of going to WDW! Im the go-to girl for Disney info in the family, so it didnt surprise me that she called, but what *did* surprise me is that she is taking me with her!!! How cool is it to be going back before I even have my last report finished? I like this schedule!! You know how when you get home from your trip, and you have that big to do list of things you didnt get to do that youre kinda bummed about? (For me the list is more things like try the chocolate in Italy than ride Space Mtn again) Im so excited that I get another shot at the things I missed! Anyway, I really want to finish this report up before I go, so I might be writing a little less, and doing more pictures with commentary, if I get crunched for time!
Okay, back to day 5! I was a little slow getting going again today- Im getting worn out! I managed to be up and ready to go by about 10am, though. My hairstyle of choice today was mouse ears, which I tried to capture on film, rather unsuccessfully:
A quick shot on the balcony, and then were off to MK!
I realized as I was walking to the bus stop why it seems like such a long walk to get around OKW- at all the other resorts, youre either walking through the hallways, or along sidewalks that run between the buildings, while here youre walking through parking lots. For some reason, that just makes it seem farther!
This picture was taken from just outside my room- to get to the bus stop, you walk across the parking lot to where the red arrow is, go around the corner, down the sidewalk, and across the street. The stop sign you can see to the left of the one way sign (which is under the arrow) is a little under half way to the bus stop, if that helps you judge distance a little.
Here are a couple of screen shots of OKW from Google Earth (a fun program, if you havent tried it!)
Here is the whole resort did I mention it is BIG?
The blue dot is the hospitality house, the yellow is my bus stop, and the pink dot is my building.
And heres one of the area I was in
I always seem to go to Adventureland first, and today was no exception. I was in the mood for a dole whip, but they werent open yet- boo!
(Check out the mickey head on the bald guys head! Awesome!)
My first stop was the Tiki Room, where I ended up sitting next to Scream Kid. Was he screaming because the attraction scared him? Nope! He was at it while we were still in line! I love how kids will throw a tantrum about anything at that age- when his family sat down next to me in the theater, he started shrieking, and when his mom asked what was wrong, he yelled There are PEOPLE in here! Welcome to Disney World, kid.
I read somewhere online that the mosaics in the pavement near Aladdin are from a building that used to stand there. Kind of a neat tribute!
At the store by the Aladdin ride, I found an awesome wooden giraffe carving that I had to get- it as about a foot tall, and only $12! The guy in the shop told me that theyre made in Zimbabwe, and they only use wood from trees or limbs that have already fallen, so they arent cutting down any new trees for the wood. Neat! I had it sent over to the Swan (yep, were checking in there today!), so I wouldnt have to carry it around.
Up next, Pirates!
I just noticed that the lettering looks kinda like a tattoo!
More Adventureland
And then over to Frontierland!
Im always amazed at how many birds are hanging out over by the fry cart in Frontierland!
I read about the Ghastly Mansion sign on the boards, but this is the first time Ive ever seen it!
A little too chilly for me to ride Splash, but that doesnt mean other people are!
And one of my favorite rides-
Can you pick out the chess pieces on the roof?
And now its time to watch Greys Anatomy, so Ill finish up day 5 later!
