he said AAA, not AA........ does AA give discounts as well?

I wanted to make him feel that he is one of the fella's, he took his marbles and went home a while back and we missed him.

Has anyone seen my marbles by the way? I seem to have lost them.

Beer. Yummmm. Beer and the Fort. Double Yummmmm. Beer and the Fort for one of those two or three month stays I hear about. Infinite Yummmm.

Maybe a couple of black and tan's at the R & C in Epcot ?

Of course, my favorite place in all the land.

In fact, when we were in Epcot a few months ago for the Garden festival, there was a stand selling hand signed prints by an artist that was doing prints of various places around Disney (with quite a bit centered on Epcot). They had all the lands, rides, etc...

About halfway through the portfolio, I saw what became an instant buy, no matter the price. A print of the Rose and Crown, drawn from across the street, hand signed by the artist. It is a gorgeous drawing, I instantly fell in love with it. I wouldn't have even cared the price, but amazingly it was only about 50 bucks. When we got home we had it professionally framed and it is now in a prime place on our "wall of Disney". It is now easily my most prized possesion from Disney, I get to look at it every time I walk by in the hallway.

Ok, so yea, I REALLY love the Rose and Crown!

We ate there for the first time last February and really enjoyed it.
The picture sounds like a great find and a good value, it doesnt take long to blow $50 at WDW but that drawing will be a keepsake for a very long time.

I made my acting debut in front of the R&C in February, the CM said I was "brilliant" (his words and remember he is a professional)
I was just standing there next to my wife, minding my own business trying to enjoy a freshly poured pint and the next thing you know I am in the entertainment business

P.S. Anyone see the "Undiscovered Walt Disney World" show that was on the Travel Channel last night? It's a repeat, and some of the stuff is old, but I find it to be one of the more entertaining of the Disney travel shows. Of course, every other line is "and the great thing is, most people don't know about it", which is obviously just trying to hook people in, but still, you get to see some of the things that are rarely covered in the Disney travel shows.

What I can't figure out is if "most people don't know about it" What about all the people watching it? They now know so, it's no longer a secret!

 

[NO NO NO E-Z-GO!]

Sorry for this completely random and off topic post, but since this is an off topic thread, I figured it would be the place to ask.

I have heard and always wondered myself if there is really an underground world below Disney World. Is there? I saw a MadTV skit in which people were tasered and the bodies where hoarded down there, but I highly doubt that's true.

 

[disney6family]

Yes, of course, that's where they keep all of the kids left behind on the rides - even though on the jungle cruise they tell you they will nail them to the floor of iasm!
Seriously, though, the utilidors are amazing

 

[tellnotails]

is 95 degrees in michissippi hotter than 95 degrees in the fort????

It's very true, you can even take a tour if you want. When I worked there for a summer once, during our initiation training, they take you underground. It's rather amazing down there, the place is huge, you feel like you're in some kind of military bunker. The only thing is it's kind of bland, but it's kind of cool knowing you're under Disney

Actually, to be technical, it's not underground. The Utilidors are the actual building and the Magic Kingdom was built on the roof

 

[Colson39]

Well technically yes. But normally when I'm under something I still consider myself underground

You obviously couldn't actually build anything underground in Florida otherwise you would be full of water...lol

Finally, the end of a long, hard crappy day. It's hard enough to do your work, but this morning I discovered someone had broken into my office garage. Nothing of value in it, but what a pain. I think I'm gonna have the thing torn down.

 

[Colson39]

Sorry to hear about the break-in

Been a very stressful week here at work. We just rolled out our product to another court system, but it's finally died down a bit. Now I'm just watching the money roll in....lol. Well, trickle right now, but it better be rolling soon!

``````

sugar is added while the tea is still hot!!! I'm rolling on that one...

How ya'll feel about GRITS??? I like them with cheese and garlic myself!!!

Can you get sweet tea in WDW????
McDonalds sells it now... yeah!!!

 

[Colson39]

Can you get sweet tea in WDW????

I've know I've had it there somewhere before, I can't remember where though. That's a good trivia question!

 

[clkelley]

Trails End has Sweet Tea!!!!

 

[disney6family]

Carol, did you ever get your @transformed into your HM? I looked at your blog and didn't see it. The view from your campsite was awesome in that last trip.

 

[clkelley]

Not yet. We're taking it back out the weekend of the 24th and then again Labor Day weekend, so we'll keep it in the driveway that week and paint the trim and apply the new graphics. (We store it in my parents backyard on the other side of town)

I have designed them and have purchased the clear sticky sheets to print them myself. (They may not hold up as well as the stuff the decal places sell, but it's a LOT cheaper, so I can replace them more frequently if need be.)

 

[disney6family]

I'd love to see how it turns out - and how the sticky sheets stick. I have thought about doing something with our trailer, but wasn't sure they would stick. keep us posted
