Cherie I think we need to take our Show on the Road !!!

You did.... Right around the corner from Raglan Road...

GB - funny....yeah, I think Wendy gave him access to my MobileMe photo gallery which allows him to download my photos. I'll have to cut him off from access (even though he's family). His hacker name is probably "JediJordy" or "PopCenturyPooper"

How about "FantasmicFoofer" or "WavesHandWhileWalking" or "DownwindDestroyer"? Just askin'.

I think it's actually nine with the sleeper chair.

When Wendy was counting, she got to at least 20... There would be a new carpet there. Wall to wall people.

Jordan: to put in the smilies, just add the code that you see like ":rofl :" (but without the last space.

Yeah...but how do you do that if you have mommy brain and can't remember the code?

I just got home from my dis vacation and I have no time for tr because I have to catch up with yours

 

[jordanyosh]

Those kids are adorable, I just have to say.

BLT suites are HUGE. I'm in the "I like it" camp.

The BLT was quite nice...just miss BCV and BWV....

Rooms at BLT are very nice. I'm not crazy about the living room, but I like the rest of it. Especially the master bathroom with the jacuzzi tub and seperate shower. Heck I wish I had that bathroom at home!

They have definitely continued to refine the DVC layouts to take into acct all the feedback I'm sure they get.

Love the pictures of the sweet kids and the Suite!!

I just wanted to let you know that you, Winkers, Underdog, Blue, & Rosie are making an appearance in my TR today. I know you are busy, but pop (Poop) by when you get a chance.

Also, I forgot to tell you I rode RnR w/a Peep! I posted the redneck ride picture just for you!!

I'll be over to take a look.....

So very true! I my myTouch for that reason...even if it takes me 10 minutes to type one reply on here. lol

And at least I'll have a phone with which I can update live when we go to Disney World again.


Hope your day has gone well...and been quiet! Can't wait to read another update!

doing an update now.

 

[jordanyosh]

I was gonna say the same thing....

I just got home from my dis vacation and I have no time for tr because I have to catch up with yours

It's going to take me all night to catch up on everyone's TRs/PTRs

"WavesHandWhileWalking"

I am so hearing the theme song from Dances with wolves right now! Picture it, Jordan walking through the wilderness, his actions dramatically captured in slow motion. His face bears a look of determination, his eyes are focused and his jaw is set. The camera pulls back to reavel we are not in the wilderness at all, but are actually on Pengani Trail. We cut to a closup as Jordans face goes from harsh determination to smiling relief. We cut to our final profile shot of Jordan walking away from us, his hand expertly fanning away the funk from his trunk as we slowly fade to black.

 

[glennbo123]

...as we slowly fade to black.

is that us going unconscious?

Chapter 7. The Places You'll Go.

For some reason, as I started thinking about this update, Dr Suess' The Places You Will Go popped in my head.

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.


It was to be my first park day. I was excited to be back at WDW. I was excited to be going to Epcot. I was excited to hangout with friends. If you remember, we were on the Monorail from the TTC to Epcot-we being Cherie, DJay and me. We got off the monorail and made our way through the turnstiles. I was so excited that I had to dance:

We walked a little further and I shot off another picture of the Epcot icon-SSE. You know what a softie I am, I got a little verklempt. Finally! WDW!

We had no agenda, but decided to head over to Test Track to see what the wait was. I like the signs they have posted around the park that update wait times. TT was at 20 minutes stand-by. We decided to grab FPs. We kinda stood around and tried to decided whether to do stand-by.....We looked inside and the line seemed to be moving so we decided to do stand-by as well. The line moved quickly and we had a great ride! Man that ride goes fast.

At some point, I got a text from Kim saying their flight was cancelled. It had snowed pretty heavy in NJ and their 7:30am flight was cancelled. We texted back and forth and she said they were booked on a 6:30pm flight with a 9:00pmish arrival at MCO. Bummer. At least, there were no big plans that night for them.

Being the great DIS planners we are, we did NOT go to Universe of Energy and Mission:Space, but instead wandered over to the Imagination Pavilion via MouseGear. Cherie and I both noticed that it smelled like poo when the doors opened to the store...no, I didn't poof. There was also a fashion disaster--overalls an a sleeveless shirt....couldn't snap a shot off without here looking though. Okay..off to Imagination....

Imagination had no line or a very short one. After our ride.....I had to use the restroom..you know the one...The best restroom in all of WDW...
I really had to go. EDIT: This restroom is around the corner from the entrance to the Imagination Pavilion. It gets overlooked now that they built the restrooms outside the Character Connection maybe 6 years ago...

Here's a look inside. Small, but clean and empty. Perfection:

Using the rating system from my previous TR..1 flush being the best and 5 being the worst. It was definitely a:

Following our great planning, we headed BACK to the other side of the park to UoE. Blueyed Girl, Cherie, had texted saying they had gone in to UofE. So we waited for them on a bench outside the exit. We waited and waited. One group came out, but no Blue. Another group came out. I thought I saw Blue's DH. I yelled "HEY" really loud and then discovered it wasn't them. . Oops! I laughed and then told Cherie and DJay what happened. I just started yelling hey at people randomly. We waited a bit more. It was nice to just sit and relax on a bench.

We got a text from Cherie saying that they were at Soarin. We had waited in vain, but no worries. Did we ride UofE since we were there or Mission: Space? Nope! Back Again to the other side of the park to ride The Seas with Nemo. After that ride we headed over to the Land Pavilion and we ran into Blue and family. We chatted for a bit and then went our separate ways. We decided to ride Living with the Land. I think I actually decided that since it's one of my favorite rides. sorry cherie and djay for dragging you on. The one picture I'm posting...9 lb lemons. Nuff said.

We used our FPs for TT and after that it was back to Pop to rest before our DISMeet dinner at the Wave. Waiting at the bus stop:

Cherie...there are poles EVERYWHERE-even on the bus.

Nice to see you meeting with other DIS members. Sounds like a good start to a vacation -- NO AGENDA!!

What's wrong with overalls and a sleeveless shirt? My mama wears them all the time!! Just kiddin' with ya. I love to people watch in Disney. We're usually there when the temps about 90 and boy oh boy, don't these people watch "What not to wear"?!

The only time I've seen overalls in the last decade have been at WDW....

It was nice to just tour leisurely. very relaxing.

 

[yinyanggirls]

Yeah, I still put my kids in overalls sometimes but I haven't seen a sane adult wear them since the 90s.

Likin' the photo themes so far. But for those of us who are novices to WDW you need to give more specific info on the bathroom locations.

Oops...I'll go back and edit!

Thanks for catching that Melissa.

I love that you were so excited you had to dance !!

I am glad you got to ride TT first, that ride is awesome. So sorry to hear that Kim's flight was cancelled. Oh my goodness, we smelled that "poo smell" there in November, I can't believe they hadn't fixed that by your trip, EWWWW .

I am so happy that you are continuing your restroom rating system reports, the before you went potty picture is hilarious .

Cherie and D Jay look so relaxed in their picture, there is nothing like just sitting on a bench in Epcot. How did Blue(Cherie) get past you guys?

Did Living with the Land have new boats, compared to what you had been on before?

WOO HOO a peeps picture! I also loved the pole and sleeping pictures.

More dancing to come....

I thought it was a one time deal with the smell....I'll be talking more about this coming up.

We were VERY relaxed. It was nice just to sit and do nothing.

I think Blue had already left by the time we got there? Maybe? We were having so much fun talking, we may have missed them though.

You know I don't remember them being different..the boats that is.

More peeps, sleeping and pole pix coming up

 

[oregonmommyof2]

I am loving the photo themes...

I hope they get rid of the poo smell by November...

 

[yinyanggirls]

Thanks Jordan! Since you're rating them anyway it'd be nice to know where to look (or avoid). You would not believe how important a restroom's state can be when you have to change a child with CP who can only *sort of* stand, all while the hyper 4 yr old is touching *everything*. Of course, I'm assuming that the girls side is going to be similar to the boys sides you are reporting on.

I love that you just did whatever you felt like and didn't try to follow some plan. Planning is great but so is just going with the flow! It sounds like a nice lazy day.

Big bummer for Kim, that's a huge delay.

Yelling at people randomly huh? That always freaks me out as I'm terrified it's someone I should know...but I don't because I am the WORST at faces and names...and somehow I am being rude because I don't respond.

I always doze off on buses...something about the bus. Not a car, not a plane, just a bus.

MrsK said it was there LAST november...don't know what the dealio is.....

Ok. That was hilarious! And very much a GB thing. Well done.
