We did both East & West sides of Innoventions. It was just OK. a nice place to burn some time just like we needed to do. We hit up Journey into your imagination. flew thru the gift shop, and called Dawn. They were just getting off the bus. She told me they really want to do Test Track, so I told her we'll meet there.

Nova's favorite, the smell lab.

Dawn, Heather, & Nova get in line for TT. I head over to a nearby coffee cart to get coffee for Lorraine & Cherry Danish and a coke for me.
on the way I ran into these guys.

They are so much fun. I realized I was standing there quite awhile and better get the goods and head back.
When I returned, everybody had just gotten off of TT. Heather was less than thrilled with it! She said you're just riding in a car, whoopee. :eek: She should be forever banished from Epcot. Off with her head. Well maybe that's a little bit harsh :lol:

Dawn started telling me when she got her ME envelope this morning the flight home had been moved again on her!!! Air Tran had already moved it once during my pre-tr. Her flight going and coming had been changed. Now they did it again while she was here on vacation! So Dawn, Lorraine, Heather & Tristian needed to catch the ME tomorrow morning at 4:15am! :eek:

All of a sudden. Here comes a military helicopter! And boy o boy was he flying low! Anyone know where the base is for this?

--------------------------------

A few years ago, a dear co-worker of mine who ended up having two strokes, 2 years apart to the day. Who could no longer work, told me to visit Ellen's universe of energy. It was her favorite. During our 2007 trip with Carol in mind we headed over there. Of course it was closed. So now after TT, I guided the gang in that direction, only to find it closed again!:tantrum with stick::tantrum with stick: I looked at the building and said to myself "someday, you and me"! Its now a quest.

We skipped Mission Space. Poor Nova couldn't find anyone that cared to do it and we headed for Nemo. It was getting pretty warm out at this point so we all took off our sweatshirts and piled them onto Tristan's stroller. Heather parked it, and off the the living seas we went.

We rode Nemo, the wait had to be maybe 15mins at the most.
When we got to the stroller we find out someone helped themselves to Nova's Wildcats sweatshirt! :tantrum with stick: Her's was on top, our fault. I should have put my yucky one on top :frown:
She was very upset. It was a nice dose of reality for me. :mad:

Next up was a trip on Living with the Land. Lorraine grabbed fast passes for Soarin. Then back to Journey into your Imagination, which made Mom, Nova's & mine second visit for that today. I ended up buying a special Valentine's Day plush edition of Figment. I found #92 of 1200. Not bad.

Welcome! & I hope you like it!
 
Well I sure don't want to leave this report like this. My life is so insane right now. But all in a good way. We finally did buy a house :yes:. We should find out the closing date tomorrow. We ended up with a 3 bedroom, 2 and half bath, built in 2008, never been lived in, all appliances included!!! 140,000.00!

This will be very light. But I'm gonna bring it home.

After our tour in Future World, we wandered over to World Showcase.
I really wanted to ride The Gran Fiesta Tour. I just love Donald in that attraction.

Heading over to Mexico

Mexico

Me and my chicken neck. I had lost 40lbs & made it down to a size 4.
I've gained about 7 pounds back on purpose since returning from the trip because I was too thin. Still a size 4 though :thumbs:
PictureTESTING597.jpg


PictureTESTING598.jpg


We made it outta there and needed a snack of some sort. Margaritas and some chicken quesadillas solved that problem.
PictureTESTING601.jpg


At Mom's request we took a quick peek thru Norway.
PictureTESTING603.jpg


Then China. Where we added Dawn, Heather, Lorraine to our Nine Dragons reservation.

Heather being silly.

Now the little drink I had was really kicking in :thumbs: Just what I needed, Ahh.
 
Nova now needs to get her face painted. This kid LOVES to get this done anywhere its offered. She picked "Venetian" because I work at The Venetian Resort. :smile:

Mom and Lorraine were having a smoke. Me, Nova, Heather & Dawn sat at a little table nearby and waited for them to finish. While waiting Heather notices her little bundle of joy, Tristan, had a leaky full diaper. Total yuck everywhere! :lol:

OK, now we are all back on track and off to Italy for some cannoli & tiramisu.

Followed by sangria & baklava in Morrocco. Let's not forget Mo'rockin!!!

Trying to post some video, but You Tube is down right now.

Heather, Lorraine, & Nova had gotten FP's for Soarin, it was now time for them to use those. Mom and I took the stroller with us and parked our butts over in Canada to wait. They took Tristan with them and did baby swap. Thank Goodness!! I needed a rest.

While taking photos, chatting with Mom, and just overall enjoying our last afternoon. Jimmy and Barbara call to tell us they have arrived at home safe and sound. He ask where I was right at that moment, when I told him sitting in Canada, he just let out a big sigh. Poor Jimmy who thought WDW was just one big Carnival, was now under its spell.

I went and bought Nova a replacement sweatshirt for the cooler air coming tonight (remember, hers was stolen). Then I talked to Kevin who golfed today at Osprey Ridge. He would not be meeting us for dinner. Too Pooped out! :lol: He dined back at Olivia's on chicken wings & prime rib.

We all met up in Canada and needed to get all the way over to China for 6pm ressies at Nine Dragons. We pass through Mexico to find Donald!

Then took some pics in Norway, And hoped Dad will be in the lobby of Nine Dragons like we planned. He refuses to learn to use a cell phone.

PictureTESTING664.jpg


Yup, Dad made it right on time. I must say, None of us liked the food at Nine Dragons. I just wasn't good. Its too bad cause the restaurant is so pretty.

After dinner with our rude and annoyed server. We stepped outside to the start of the Dragon Legend Acrobats. Just AWESOME!!!

PictureTESTING681.jpg


I decided to put the camera away for the rest of the evening and just enjoy myself. We wandered in the shops in China, bought some stuff we don't need.

Everyone grabbed a bench in Norway while I went all the way back to Italy to get Dad some Cannoli & Espresso that he was craving.

Wandered some shops and grabbed our spot for Illuminations. We quietly all walked back to the buses. Then the crying began, this was good-bye for all of us. Nova cried on the bus all the way back to OKW :frown:. She was also very over tired.

We all now have plans for March 2011! All of us are going to stay at POFQ.
Us, J & B, Dawn's crew, & now on board after hearing about our trip are my cousin Mike from Brooklyn, and my family from the Keys are going to join us.

Out of all the places I've been. This was the greatest vacation I've ever had.
Thank you for reading along. It was fun re-living it.


Coming up: Homeward Bound
 
Great pics and updates. I love the face painting. :lovestruc
 
Awww, you made me want to cry with that last installment too. It's so depressing having to go back home to the "real world".

Tue 2/10/09
9am adr Olivia's for breakfast
d e p a r t, via magical express (noon'ish)

I can't speak for Kevin, but I had a restless night that last night at Old Key West. I so did not want to leave. Laying in bed I planned out my imaginary day: Tonga Toast for breakfast, MK most of the day, with a La Nouba finisher. Dawn and crew were already on the plane headed back to Arizona. It felt weird, everyone in our party was now gone.

It was 6:30am and we needed to finish up the packing. Magical Express pick-up time is for 12:50pm. I then realized I never took any photos of the room. That could be due to the fact that I was not crazy with the decor.


Bless this mess!!

GeminiAngel;30577357 Kevin nor Nova would partake in our antics. The stuffed shirts that they are! Nova did make away with these ears though. I think they are from the Pirate and Princess Party? Anyone? Notice the Peep! [SIZE="1" said:
