Stop pushing the elevator button!! Done!! Complete!! Finished!!

[Wis2InTink]

Wow! You were so lucky with the TSM lines! The umbrella story shows how special stuff can happen, even if you're touring solo. We are not invisible when traveling solo in WDW. I've been solo there a few days also. Lots of pixie dust for you that morning.

 

[wdwgirl03]

These guys are not hanging outside. Sarah when you go in April, look and see if they hung them back up.

I will have to look for them. Ahhhh only 23 days.

What do you think of the Toy Story Mania video game?

I like the umbrella story too, that is awesome. That is on my list of things to find when we go too.

 

[OhMari]

Wow, good deal on the tickets. 10 minute wait for TSM, that's awesome.

Love the singing in the rain story.

The Longest wait all day was 30 minutes. When I left DS at 3:30, I looked at the Tip Board and all rides were under 30 minutes.

I tell myself that when I am alone at WDW. Others wish to be a solo traveler, to do what they want to do, and "I'm wishing for grandchildren, some day."

I will have to look for them. Ahhhh only 23 days.

What do you think of the Toy Story Mania video game?

I like the umbrella story too, that is awesome. That is on my list of things to find when we go too.

Only 20 so or more days Sarah-let crummy ole March get done.
Toy Story Mania is fun-it's a little arcadie-but it's like the ride, which is geared towards "Arcadia".

I hope I didn't to much away, where the unbrella is. I read on your pre-trip, that you want to find it. It is very easy to miss.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Good for you being able to ride Toy Story Mania twice at the start of your Hollywood Studios day. The wait times when we went were already outrageous just ten minutes after park opening.

How sweet of the couples to stop and take your picture with the umbrella.

 

[Cathy baby RN]

I am so enjoying your trip report

I was wondering if you could give me more info on the free MKE parking for Illinois residents.We live the same distance from MKE as we do Ohare, and often use MKE. I tried to Google it and couldn't find any info.
Thanks!
Cathy

I wonder if the cold temps. that morning had anything to do with the low crowds that morning. When I left the park at 3:00 p.m., people were coming into the park, lot it was morning. But then again, it had 2 shows of Fantasmic. Someone told me the locals come in after work to see the ESPN shows that were being shown "Live on Stage".

I went to look myself for any info, and I called my son, down in Milwaukee and he said it is true too. He told me, he even saw it on the National News Station, being discussed. I wonder if it was for a certain time? But the parking lot across from the Terminal was jammed packed with IL plates. We paid $12 a day, and I am wondering if they are charging IL plates the $5.00 a day. Maybe ask if you park or call Mitchell and see what they say.



I looked up to see where my PhotoPass CD is. I just saw it was shipped on last Thursday, March 11, and it wasn't in my mail today. Hopefully tomorrow my CD will be here.

Update with Callie-she is at Typhoon Lagoon today.
High of 70.
She told me she drove from midnight to 8:00 a.m.
while everyone else slept.

She slept most of the day yesterday, after they checked into the TimeShare. She said, she was really grumpy, but after she got some sleep she felt better this morning.

 

[Cathy baby RN]

You are so sweet for looking up that information and even calling your son about pariking at MKE. My sisters car is parked there now, so I'll see what she paid when she gets back.
So glad your daughter made it safely to Orlando. I have 3 daughters about her age and worry everytime they head out on a road trip....even driving back to school. I've done the drive to Orlando so many times I think I know every inch of the road. It's a long haul!
Thanks again
Cathy

 

[GreatBiscuit]

Horray you made it to the parks! Great update! Good job on the ticket savings. I was cracking up that you got serenaded at the umbrella. That's awesome!

I was more impressed with the 4 guys singing "Barbershop". I could kick myself for not taking "their" picture.
It was such an unexpected moment.

 

[OhMari]

I sort of walked aimlessly up and down
The Streets of America.
Wow, I can't believe I have "no plan".

I was thinking it was so darn cold-
The Osbourne Lites should still be here.
Someday, I’ll get to see them.

I decided to just read windows and
listen to the different sounds on the Streets of America.

Disney will pipe in different sounds
in different areas.
You will totally miss them, if you don’t stop and listen.
Subway-cars honking, breaks squealing, the sound of the subway.

If the sun wasn't shining-I think this would of been glare ice.

It kills my dh to drive a Ford Truck -company truck.
He is such a Chevy guy.
We own 2 1966's Chevelles and a 1970 Chevelle and a 1955 Chevy.

I decided to go into the Muppet Show.
The last time was in 2003,
And I remember being so hot/sticky in the
waiting room - waiting for the show to start-
I almost fainted because they pack you in
no air-conditioning, until they release
you into the theatre.

Suppose to be a hidden Mickey-
I suck at finding them.

I had an ADR at Sci-Fi Diner at 11:30 a.m.
And it was now 10:45 a.m.

The Little Mermaid started in 10 minutes.

I looked on my schedule and it said the show was 17 minutes.
How is that for a strategy planning.
Sorry no pictures allowed, during the show.

I wanted to eat with an Imagineer today.
You couldn’t book an ADR online, so I called CRO.
The CM even had a hard time finding the ressie on her computer.
All ADR’s were cancelled in the month of February.
They moved Dining with An Imagineer
to a few dates in February at The Flying Fish.
Plus upped the price to $89 and not $64.
I don’t have a very good impression of the Flying Fish-
walk by the place early morning-phew!
That plan got scratched.

I wanted to try a new place and I settled for SciFi Dine In.

My view—it’s the atmosphere.

Could have gotten the same meal –
at ABC Commissary .
Did you know they are connected?
I ordered hot chocolate-which really hit the spot after a cold morning.
Chicken sandwich and fries.
$14 with tip included.


Guess who I met over at the The Magic of Disney Animation.
Plus it is signed with Epcot Wishes and Dreaming with my name.

 

[Señor DonDuck]

I had no idea they pipe sounds in Streets of America. Must be because it's always so loud and crowded when I've gone.

I do love the atmosphere of SciFi, but yeah, the food is not the highlight (not bad, though).

 

[OhMari]

Before I got over to the Animation building,
I was going to do The Movie Ride-
-the line was out the door.

If you know anything about the Movie Ride—
-people lined out the door
-posted time of 30 minutes
-you know it isn’t true.

I never stopped and looked at these.
A few foot and hand prints.

The best thing about being solo-
You know you can come back and that line will be gone.

I really wanted to go to The Magic of Disney Animation.
I had no idea where the building was.

Park map.
Found it.
They line was 30 minutes.

The CM was saying to use the other lineIf you just wanted to walk through and see characters.
I was so clueless about this area.
I needed to get in the line and wait,
if I wanted to do the drawing-did I-nooo.

Yep, I saw characters.
Mickey
Up characters
Incredible
Donald
& Long Lines.

I continued through and stopped at looked at Walt’s Academy Awards.

And after all attractions-
“The Gift Shop”

I saw a little billboard outside
And it said, “featured artist” Larry Dalton!!
I purchased an his Epcot Illumination Picture today!!.

I told him, last year, I purchased the Magic Kingdom Wishes
at Epcot.
So next year, I want to see him at the Animal Kingdom,
or the Magic Kingdom, so I can finish my collection.

He signed my picture with;
"May your Epcot Dreams come true Marisa"
Larry Dalton

His wife took our picture.

In 100 years, I hope my great-great children will take the picture to a "Antiques Road Show' and be told my
"prints" are worth millions of dollars.
They are to me!!

I had my picture packaged and sent to the
Beach Club, because I was checking in tomorrow.
Plus, then I didn't have to carry it with me,
the rest of the day.

I went back into the Character area-
and Mickey's line was down.
All the other characters were gone for the day-
or maybe it was their lunch time.
Don't know, but the place was suddenly empty.

 

[OhMari]

My photopass CD was in the mail today.

I didn't have very many pictures from PhotoPass.

I thought I wanted to order 5x7's pictures,
an ornament, but then
I realized I was above the price of the CD. Even with 40% off.
At the Beach Club, I was given a 40% off coupon to use for PhotoPass.
The coupon looked just like a PhotoPass Card.
I changed my mind about the prints and the ornament
and just ordered the CD with 40% off.
With shipping and Tax, it came to $102.

Continue with TR......
I walked over to The Movie Ride
and the line wasn't out the door.
I had an excellent gangster-
last year the CM-swallowed her words and you couldn't understand
anything she said.


I still wanted to see Beauty and The Beast at 2:00 p.m.
and I had 30 minutes before the show started.
So I rode Star War's.
The ride, just isn't long enough.
It is like a video game in an arcade-
you want to keep sticking quarters in, so you can ride again.
Oh, everyone was getting in line to the right.
I went left-as the saying goes,
"you are right, when you take a left,".
I got stopped here for about 10 minutes.
Which was about my total wait time.

I missed Lights, Motor, Action-but I had to make a choice.
Either that show at 1:45 or The Beauty & Beast at 2:00.

I walked back and entered One Man's Dream.
Here's Walt--

And Walt again--you can find him in the darndest places.

The Beauty and the Beast Show-
should of been Disney's On Ice Show-
wow, was it cold on those steel seats.
I sort of hit my wall too-and it was nice to sit
and put my feet up.
I walked in about 2 minutes before the show started.
Here are a few pic's of the show.

I noticed the wigs on a lot of the characters.
So much for having to do your hair everyday.
Just slap on your wig.

Gaston-"You the Man."

And Belle-I haven't chatted with AngieBelle on the DIS in awhile.

She is a CM that plays Belle at WDW, but I don't know in which area.

I love the candle and t-cup.
There was a t-cup in our sandbox for years
that the kids got when we went to Disney on Ice in Milwaukee.

He was an old Prince-

2:30 p.m.

I wanted to see who was on stage at the ESPN Club.

It was the 4 guys that talk baseball.

Whenever new people were brought to the stage,
they had their own motocade bring them.

I wanted to wait for Rome,
Rome Is Burning-
Jim Rome-
He's the guy I get stuck watching in the afternoon
at the YMCA.
He is a football analyst-and he was going to interview
"Chad Ochocinco-had no idea who he was,
until a little guy told me the next day.

I gave up waiting,
cause I had a text that I needed to be
back by 4:00-showered and changed.

Walked out and I really wanted to return for the evening
to watch Fantasmic at 8:30 p.m.
My one gripe--
if it is the most expensive Season of the year-
--for resort prices
--points for DVC
why are the parks closed so early.
There should be a Fantasmic at 8 & 10.
Not 7 p.m.
If they want to charge more-keep your parks open longer-
even though your poor CM's are freezing in their long plaid parka's.
The parka's were pretty cool, I wish I would of gotten a picture of them.
Me, I had my sweatshirt on all day,
and occasionally my headband when my ears got cold.

I did give a job to a photopass freezing to death.
Parting shots of me leaving the park at 3:00 p.m.

The CM was excited to tell me,
there would be someone special in my picture
if I freaked out and pointed to the ground.

Will I return?
I had a feeling we were road tripping to Jupitor.

 

[wdwgirl03]

hahaha, I love those photopass pictures with Stitch popping out of the ground. I had read about those on here and when we were at DHS a couple years ago I saw some people pointing at the ground and told my dad, OK, we are going to that photopass photographer. Whoa, sorry for that ramble...

Anyways, cool print too. I think I've seen some of his pictures and they are awesome.

 

[OhMari]

With Hollywood Studios finished for the day,
I really wanted to return for the evening to watch Fantasmic.
Plus, there were 2 showings, 7:00 p.m .and 8:30 p.m.

When I got back to my car, I noticed I had another text,
from dh,
“Make sure you return by 4:00 p.m."

Since I was next to the exit of the parking lot,
I just scooted forward across parking lanes and
Exited out of the park.

I made it back to the Sea World entrance in 10 minutes-traffic for me was almost non-existence.
I pulled into a new CVS since I had 45 minutes before I had to meet my dh.
He’s loves Diet Dew-but there were gates preventing me from entering.-
The CVS was posted that they were not opening till March 1.

TV camera and crews still at Sea World.

When I returned back to the Ritz,
I think I tipped the valet $50-did I mention this already.
I usually tip $5 or $10.
(When I got home, I counted up my receipts and cash, and I was short $50-damn, I’m not happy, but at least I gave it to someone deserving).

Jupiter-Remember that little ditty-
Boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider,
Girls go to Mars, to be movie stars.
I was really hoping, we didn’t have to go to Jupiter.
And,
We didn’t.

DH - Boss man and his wife made it to the convention today-Thursday.
If you read my pre-trip report-I was suppose to spend the day
with Wilma and the 2 other wives.
I’ll call my dh boss and his wife-Fred & Wilma
since their company is sort of stone quarry related.

Wilma was not feeling the greatest.
They were in Florida at their home in Jupiter.
Fred was suppose to attend the convention,
along with us and 2 other couples.
Since one of the couples didn’t get out of Wisconsin with the coporate jet,
the corporate jet was still sitting in Wisconsin.

Wilma rested in a room all day, she was having some medical issues.
Fred and Wilma had a last minute flight out that evening-
Wilma had a Dr. appoint the next day-
I think things were worse than she was really letting on.
My dh had to take them to the airport with their vehicle.
Then drop their vehicle off at The Business Airport in Orlando-
for the other couple that was flying in Saturday-
so they could visit Fred's mom,
who is a snowbird
and also
the couples aunt.
Got that!!
Guess who had to pick up dh-
Fantasmic plans were thrown out the window!!
As they say, "next time".

The reason why we were going to go to Jupiter
that evening or for the weekend,
(those plans were not planned out yet)
was to see their home and get the yellow paint off
their SUV.
Someone (caugh, Fred)
drove into the yellow barricade barrels,
they put up at the end their driveway.

-This is why we were going to go to Jupiter.
-Fred didn't trust himself to get the yellow paint off-
or take it to a Collision Repair Shop. He wanted my
dh to do get the paint off.




The good news?
We didn’t have to go to Jupiter,
or stay at the Ritz for the weekend.
Fred told us;
"go over to Disney for the weekend!!"

Fred doesn't get Disney,
but Wilma does. They take their kids twice a year.
So Fred likes to raz me every chance he gets,
but I let it slide.
Either you get Disney or you don't.

Our weekend was open.
Now, raise your hand,
who doesn’t have WDW programmed into their phone.

 

[OhMari]

As I expected,
I didn’t get to see Fantasmic this evening.
I picked up my dh at the Orlando Business Airport
at 8:00 p.m. and I knew we couldn’t get to Disney Studios
and to Fantasmic by 8:30 p.m.
We just went back to the Ritz,
Had a few “free drinks” and shut the bar
down with the my dh’s co-worker and his wife.

My dh told me he received an e-mail in the morning
to find out what I had planned for the day from his co-worker.

My dh e-mailed back and said I had just left
and he was sure I would turn around and come
back if his wife wanted to go to WDW for the day.
Well, apparently (she) didn’t want to go,
because I never received a text or a call.
The other wife told me she took a morning walk and
by 1:00 in warmed up enough outside to lay pool side.

I explained that I wanted to go toTyphoon Lagoon on Friday.
It was suppose to get to 73 degrees on Friday-by 3:00 p.m.
I cancelled that plan, and decided to do Animal Kingdom.
I asked her if she would like to go along,
but she was still giving me the mantra,
how she didn't want to do Disney without the girls.
Sigh.

I'm willing to change plans again,
Heck, I was suppose to be golfing this morning too,
but that all got thrown out the window with Wilma getting sick,
and the other wife, never making it to Florida.

I knew at some point today, I needed to check into the Beach Club.
Last evening I called CRO and booked a room at the Beach Club.

We originally were suppose to go down to Vero Beach for the weekend.
Disney VISA sent me a code in January to book a room
at their DVC at 45% off for the months of January and February.
But my dh said,
“What happens if it is cold, and we are stuck over by the ocean.”
So then I said,
“Let’s drive down to Key West”.
My dh, who loves driving everywhere and anywhere comboshed that idea too.
He just wanted to play it by ear.
Our Saturday and Sunday was going to be very last minute-anything.

I had a 45% of pin code that I received last October and it was burning a hole in my pocket. I could use the code to book a room until March 27th.
The code was good to use for booking rooms from January - July,
with just a few dates that were blacked out.

I originally wanted to stay at The Poly,
then The Contemporary,
then the Beach Club.

When I found out the prices for Friday and Saturday, I about fainted.
But when I compared them to the price at The Ritz-
It was only a fraction more. Plus my dh company was paying
and his boss told us to go over to Disney.

I was shocked that I got a room for the weekend at the Beach Club
ESPN Weekend.

I told the other wife-
I'm going to give her a name;
Cindy.
Cindy, "would you like me to show you a few resorts at WDW?"
"I have to check into the Beach Club and we can be back by
1:00."
(I figured this would give her ample time to sit out by the pool).

She actually agreed to go, but she didn't want me to change my plans.

I already changed my plans 10 times, what is once more!!

So, by 8:30 a.m. we were on the road-and I actually checked into
the Beach club at 9:00 a.m. and my room was ready,
plus an upgrade.
2nd level, so I knew it wasn't 4th floor, where you get waited on,
and the free food and drinks.
But she said it was "water view".
Hmmm, "waterview" at The Beach Club"

Our room over looked the the Quiet Pool,
and if there wouldn't have been a tree in the way,
we could see The BoardWalk.

Cindy was very impressed.
She liked all the Mickey touches.
The Soap with Mickey on it.
The Mickey Lamp

I actually had to slow down and take it all in,
and let myself see the room, through a newbies eyes.
Plus, Cindy actually stayed with my luggage, while I
parked the car.
And she stayed with my luggage again,
when the CM forgot to give me my room keys.
So, she was actually excited just people watching.
Cindy told me how amazed she was, seeing people
decked out with Mickey clothes on, especially the little
kids dressed up.
So with it being early morning, I'm sure she saw the little girls
dressed as princesses heading out to the various breakfasts.
Cindy told me, that they definately plan on going in October.
I told her that would be a perfect time with it being close to
Halloween and finding great bargains on princesses dresses.
We all know how expensive they are at WDW.

Would you believe I actually got tired out resort hopping?

 

[OhMari]

Still on Friday.
I showed Cindy our room after
I got the actually room key, and we then we headed
out to the Boardwalk Area.

I showed her the back entrance
To Epcot, - “International Gateway”

The wedding pavilion and explained the various
Restaurants and shops under the Boardwalk. Then explained
hw fun it is at nite with the jugglers, mime’s etc.,
Instead of walking back to the Bus area at the Beach Club,
We walked up the steps under the BoardWalk Entrance sign,
and waited for a Magic Kingdom bus.

Since I showed Cindy the Deluxes-I thought we might as well
show her the mono-rail resorts.
We waited around 15 minutes for a bus.
Busses are shared with the BC, BW and Swan and Dolphin.
It took 45 minutes to get to the MK.
I was sort of surprised it took that long.

The stream of people walking into the MK wasn’t bad,
But then it was only 10:30 a.m.
When we got to The Contemporary I showed her Chef Mickey’s
And said this restaurant is probably the hottest ticket in town if you have kids.
I had to use the bathroom and Cindy walked into the store.
She wanted to find a few gifts for the girls.
And she saw Zu-Zu’s-is this correct? I have no idea what they are.
Looked like Beany Babies to me.
She was so happy that she found what she was looking for and said certain one’s are very hard to find.
Sounds like the Beany Baby craze of 10-15 years ago.


Cindy and her dh,
along with her parents,
are going in the Fall and
Cindy wants to surprise the girls about the trip,
but until late summer-she doesn't want them to have to wait so long.

I showed Cindy the autograph books/pens
and told her to get some Disney stickers.
I explained that she should put the stickers the pages,
and then have the girls find the characters.
Cindy was really excited about my idea and said
“that would be a great way to surprise her girls"
when she tells them they are going to WDW.

The Contemporary only had one kind of Autograph book, and it wasn’t the one, where you can put your own picture in, next to the autograph. But the CM, told us to look in other stores, and they may have them.

So off to the Poly-
They had the books-and
because I had Disney cards burning a hole in my pocket,
and I don’t have any small children or grandchildren yet,
I purchased the books and pens for Cindy’s girls.


We left the Poly out towards the Beach area.
I wanted to show her O’Hana’s.
I like the atmosphere, the food-dessert is the best.
And I told her it was another great place to take the family to eat.

I then gave her my present to the girls-
And she was actually teary eyed and thanked me.
Her dh called later and I heard her telling him all about the books,
and how she is going to surprise the girls later this summer.
Later when we were talking, she was laughing and felt really excited
About Disney and can’t wait to take a vacation.
Hmmm, and this was the mom, I couldn’t budge last year to even step foot over at Disney?

When we got to the Lake, their was a Ferry waiting,
And we hopped onboard and went back to the MK.
I pointed out The Grand Floridian, The Wedding Chapel,
And told her about the Tea Luncheon she could do with
her mom and girls.
I told her to book a golf reservation for her dad and dh
in the afternoon, and they could do the Tea Party.
Plus, golfing is much cheaper in the afternoon too.

When we got off the Ferry, neither one of us
could walk straight.
We couldn't figure out how we got so dizzy
on the boat.
And then we saw the hoards of people walking into the MK.
It was wall-to-wall people.
I told Cindy,
"don't be them, get up in the morning and be their by park opening."

We walked over to the bus area,
and I didn't realize there were 2 areas.
We were looking for the All Star resort area.
We crossed over and a All Star Music Bus was waiting.

I never been to the All Star resort,
and I was curious to see the food court and pools.

The All Star Sports was pretty neat,
plus we saw "The Cheerleaders."
Of course the cheerleaders were
singing and cheering and Cindy said
her girls would love to see the cheer leaders.
I thought at The All Stars Sports, they would
have the Family Suite, and I asked to see the rooms.
The CM told her, The Family Suites are at All Star Movies.
The CM explained the room to Cindy,
and she was surprised it was double beds and not queen beds.
She then said, "her parents want to pay".

I told her to have a talk with her parents and
explain the cost, room size and maybe if they
stayed at a moderator or Deluxe, they could
pay the difference. Personally I think all
resorts have their advantages and disadvantages.
I have stayed at Pop, Moderates and The Beach Club and BWV.
Next April, I am even thinking about The Swan/Dolphin.

We took the first bus that came and it was going
to The Disney Studios. Then we took the Ferry
back to the Boardwalk area.
By now, I was starving. I actually wanted to
eat at the Food Court at the All Star's, but Cindy
wasn't hungry yet.

We got off the Ferry at the Yacht Club
and went to Beaches and Cream.
We saw our first celebrity,
Chad Ochocinco.
I didn't know him, but a little guy
was waiting outside the Work-out Center.
I didn't know the Yacht and Beach Club even
had one.
When he walked out, he looked at these 6 ladies,
to see if they recognized him. They had no clue
and just walked by. I would of done the same
thing, but the little guy was saying,
Chad, Chad, can I have your autograph?
Cindy turned to me, and said,
I think that is Chad Ochocinco-he plays for Cinncinati Bengals.
Chad was there for ESPN weekend.
Now I know who the guy is, because he is on
"Dancing With the Stars."

We had an awesome waiter at Beaches and Cream,
and we got to see "The Kitchen Sink"/
We shared a Turkey Sandwhich, because tonite
we had a fairly large reception/dinner.
Our waiter explained to Cindy about
The hidden Mickey's "Onion Rings" on the walls.
Cindy saw Mickey heads on the hamburger presses.
We were seated at the counter, and the CM making
hamburgers, said, "she doesn't think the hamburger presses
are in the book."
Cindy said, "what book?"
Myself, the waiter and the cook all told her about The Hidden Mickey Book and she wants to order the book now for her daughters.

I treated Cindy with my Disney gift card, and
she told our waiter, she will definately be back in the Fall.
So at least I impressed her.

We then went to the Beaches parking lot, and we
got my rental, and we drove back to The Ritz. We were
back around 2:00 p.m. and we sat in the sun by the pool
till 3:00 p.m.
I was going to take more pictures of The Ritz,
this is the pool area.

My dh was finished for the day, and we left back
to The Beach Club to get ready for the evening.
Traffic wasn't bad going back and forth/but we saw
a lot of traffic on I4, getting off the highway, to go to WDW.

Dinner/drinks/atmosphere was fine,
and we left by 8:30.
When we returned again, back to the Beach Club,
I wanted to walk around the Boardwalk.

I wanted to find someone to take our picture,
but there was no one even walking around.
Caught my dh, he wanted ice cream.

Everything was quiet, and no performers were out.
I don't know if it was to cold or what.
We should have walked into JellyRolls,
but we just called it a nite.
We did get ice cream though at Beaches and Cream.
I think it was around 10:30 and they closed at 11:00 p.m.

Thank you for updating your trip report. I'm really enjoying it. Your photos and writing style take me along with you! The resort touring almost wore me out! That was so sweet of you to purchase gifts for the kids.

Thanks, I'm beginning to think I am invisible.
But I see the post count and know I have lots of lurkers.
I almost forgot.
A couple was sitting across from us in the bus, and he was making fun of our Wisconsin accents. I told him, he reminded me of my nieces dh who is a 4th grade teacher. He was goofy and animated a lot like him. After he made fun of our accents, I really laid it on thick like Sarah Palin-don'tchaknow.

When we got back to our room, I wanted to take pictures.
My dh went down to the pool and hot tub to see how hot the water was.
The temps had to be in the 60's this evening,
and he wanted to go in the hot tub.
I told him, he can, and I'll watch.

The only Mickey touch, besides the soap

This is about as safe as we keep my dh laptop
-zipped and sitting on the bed.

Flat screen tv-and the room is starting to get messy,
sort of like home, drop everything on the dresser.

And-this isn't just an air conditioner-that is the furnance-and it was hot in our room. We had to open our door. The heat was turned up to 78 in our room. At home, we are lucky if it is turned to 70 during the day and 60 at nite.

My dh came back and he said to many people were in the hot tub-
we could hear them hooting and hollaring. They were jumping from the hot tub to the pool. If my kids were there, they would probably be doing the same thing.

The next morning was Epcot-and since the news comes on at 11:00 EST the weather said rain by 10:00 a.m. You know what that means.
Test Track first thing in the morning.
Plus, I had to change my 10 day Water Fun and More and
pay for the non-expiring feature.
