no...I was just getting guys on a beach trying to paraglide. LOL

edit......I have since clicked it again on my laptop and it went to the right link...so weird before. LOL

 

[KatMark]

I'm glad you managed to get on a few attractions even with the lines being so long. Aaw that is cute that the girls wanted to ride with Andy.

Love the pics of the castle and the Boo to you parade!

Thanks, Tanz. It was a fun night despite the crowds...but good friends will do that.

I'm glad you were able to get the link the next time.

After having cleaned the house all day and cooking dinner, I hoped to do an update tonight. If I get time, I will still try to do so.

However, we got word today that a friend from Markie's school days (both football and wrestling), collapsed and died of a heart attack. He was 22 years old. There is a prayer service at the football field at the high school tonight at 7 p.m. which we are planning on going to.

Oh my word......how awful....prayers to the family

Glad you had a great time at MNSSHP. Sorry it was crowded. I think a combination of Rosh Hashanah, food and Wine starting, the race and the 40the anniversary made it a very popular weekend.

So cool that your son made sure he rode your favorite ride with you.


Hallowishes and Boo to you are at the top of the list on my long list of favorites.


ETA: So sorry to hear about Markie's schoolmate. What a shock, I'm sure. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Thank you both so much. We just got home (trying to thaw out). There were 300+ people there (amazing what word of mouth will do on the internet in four hours time), with over half of them being his friends and schoolmates. Very, very sad.

I've never seen the Halloween parade in person, but it looks really cool. I'd love to see the gravediggers with their shovels sparking against the pavement.

Sorry to read about Markie's friend. That's very sad, and I'm sure it's been quite a shock to the family and community.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear abour Markie's friend. It's sad to lose a friend but it seems to hurt even more when they are young.

 

[tinacaplan]

First of all, so sorry to hear about Markie's friend. That's horrible.

I am not caught up on the TR again, though. Great updates...you've been so fast lately! You're going to be finished before I even get to day four!

The girls are adorable and so cute with Andy. How nice to have him join you on the trip.

And the Pooh queue. Oh, how I love this ride. We rode it several times in July... not sure we'll ever be able to get FPs for it, though, as I can't imagine Max being able to forgo that queue. And Andy wanting to ride with you...that's just so sweet! You raised great sons, Kathy!

 

[nilla]

Ok, I FINALLY got back to the DISBoards after being on maybe twice since I finally wrapped up my TR, and I just read your TR from the start to now. This looks like such a fun trip, with a great supporting cast. AKL looks great - I LOVE the Lion King scene in the bathroom. My favorite Disney movie, hands down.

You have us killed in the hat pic department! Wow. I don't think anyone can match the sheer volume of hat pics you have

Can't wait to read more. Sorry it took me so long...

 

[Moira222]

How sad for that young man's family Kathy - funerals are never easy and more so when they are for young people. Its nice there was so many people to pay their respects. Hope Mark is okay losing a friend so young.


(back tracking now)

who is the other purple dinosaur?

ugh Barney. shoot me now rather than watch barney again. ever.

Responses later (I'm finishing cooking dinner and then we are going grocery shopping), but I wanted to say:

Happy Birthday Mickey Mouse!!!!!!!!!!

no fair cooking and grocery shopping when you feel icky.

The first time it was more the flu; this time Andy gave me whatever he had -- sore throat, headache, body aches, cough, sneeze, etc. At least it is before the holidays.

Aren't you glad you raised a kind sharing boy?

We were having a terrific time. The crowds that night were totally insane (and I know there were a couple of SOLD OUT nights too. I really would like to go see the Christmas decorations, but I need my swimming time and I know I couldn't handle that in December.

We swam during our January trips, (though the second trip was cold and we swam in the hot tub, Katie insisted)....so you could swim during a Christmas trip.

Hallowishes and Boo to You Parade.

As you all know, I LOVE Wishes, but Hallowishes is even a tad better in my opinion.

that is one cool fireworks shot! the video looks good ...i liked the darker coloring..of course on my slow feed it was not nearly as impressive.

I thought you all would get a kick out of this -- I sure did.

oh we missed Pooh last time --- the need for food forced us to skip on by.. and it looks like fun. Definitely adding to the guilt factor for June!

 

[Lidian]

So sorry to hear of the loss of a friend. Thoughts and prayers are being sent for all.

 

[Shannon84]

We are so sorry for your loss, your family and the family of the young man are in our thoughts and prayers

 

[nilla]

I missed the post about Markie's friend the first time through. It's unbelievable and so heartbreaking that something like this can happen to someone so young

 

[shocky5]

Very sorry to read about Markie's friend - many prayers for his family and friends.

Hope you are continuing to feel better!

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Looks like it was a great evening at MK. I supposed one of these trips we'll have to spring for the Halloween party to see all this stuff!

Sorry to hear about Mark's friend. Prayers for the family.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

sorry to hear about his friend.



is that the only time the dwarfs are out together?

did they each sign autographs? or do they only do pictures

 

[englishrose47]

Kathy I am so sorry for Markie's friend !!A Co worker of mine several years ago had a son who was about that age and also dropped dead of a heart attack !!So Sad !!

 

[3prettyprincesses]

Oh goodness Kathy! I'm so sorry to hear about Markie's friend. How shocking that he was so very young. His poor family must be devastated, what a tragedy. I recently read an article about this young (I think 12 or 13) girl who literally dropped in the school hallway because her heart stopped! Luckily the gym teacher saw her, quickly checked her and then grabbed the nearby heart defibrillator. He saved her life!

On to your updates!

Oh, how sweet is Andy to ride with his mama! I hope his GF Cayley wasn't too put out with him for riding with you rather than her. I love love love the Pooh queue drumming video! Cayley was just going to town, I loved it! Mark seemed to be enjoying himself too! That picture of them all pulling the rope made me chuckle, it's actually very hard to pull! We did it in January and DH had to hop in to help us while we all laughed.

The parade pics are great! Isn't it a fabulous parade? We really enjoyed it last time, the headless horseman was eerie with the clip cloppping of the horse's hooves on the road. Weren't the grave diggers fun when the sparked their shovels against the pavement? I thought that seemed very halloweenish.

Love all the Hallowishes pics and the video was awesome. I love how the lights popped back on right after the fireworks ended, it looked like magic which would be fitting for you know, the Magic Kingdom. Ok, that was a lame joke.

Are you feeling better now Kat? I hope so.

 

[Simba22]

Kathy, I'm finally all caught up!

First, I'm so sorry about Markie's friend! How tragic....sadly one of my brother's friend from the Marine Corps passed away last week...he was about the same age. They went to the Marine Corp Ball the first weekend of November, hung out and had a great time, and he was found dead on his bathroom floor the following weekend. I haven't heard yet if they have determined a cause of death. Just so sad...my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Your pics with Tigger were awesome! He is also one of my favorites...meeting him was the first thing I did on my first ever trip to WDW back in 2002. So glad you guys liked the Nemo show! We really enjoyed it when we saw it for the first time. Overall, looks like you guys had a great day at AK!

Yay for Andy's arrival! He does look a LOT like you! I can't believe the Halloween Party was that packed! Looks like the secret is out and Halloween is no longer a nice, quiet time to visit WDW! Hallowishes and Boo To You are my FAVORITE!! Well...I think maybe tied with Illuminations and The Jammin' Jungle Parade...but still!

Glad you guys are liking OKW! 230 short days to go!
