There's definitely sound! Improves the experience quite a bit!

Other Groupies....can you hear it?

Yes, Granny, I had sound and could hear it.

 

[sleepydog25]

Granny, Pretty cool light show!
Is it just me, or is there no sound?

I had sound; however, I know on my computer that for some videos I have to ensure the sound button on the actual video screen is also "on" and not muted.

Hey folks!
Still in the World, headed home tomorrow.

Yesterday, we went to MK, dodged a little rain, but the sun came out around 2 and remained beautiful the rest of the day. Bus from BWV to MK was super quick. We ate at Be Our Guest. Capt D and I had the braised pork and really enjoyed it, Tammy had the Croque Monsier, not so impressed. The theming is tops, right up there with Harry Potter theming.

So then we caught the monorail back to Epcot, single rider TT, then over to WS. Saw Dennis De Young, all 3 sets, and he didnt do one single repeat of a song in either set. It was like seeing a full concert with big breaks between. We saw his band at the Belle View Lounge the night before, and they came back last night too after the shows. But alas, Dennis didnt show, oh well

Today, headed to Paradiso 37 for lunch, never been there, so looking forward to trying something new. Then to MK, do a few FPs, then back over to Epcot, do a few F&W booths, then over to see Yee Haw Bob.

Jimmy...I hope you enjoyed your last day at WDW. We like Paradiso 37 as a change of pace, just as we enjoyed Bongos our last trip. A little change of pace in restaurants is good, while you still had the chance to visit some old favorites.

Enjoy Yee Haw Bob!

Sounds like fun. Enjoy!

I kept hoping Rick Springfield would walk into the Crews Cup Lounge while we were there but sadly he did not. I guess I kind of see him as more of a Four Seasons kind of guy. Oh well. He did stand right in front of me so I guess that will have to do. One of these trips we really need to go see Yee Haw Bob. We've never seen him.

OK Groupies . . a great example of why it is always good to start out the day on this thread. . . (Learning something new about The World is always a pleasure).

Shameful as it seems, I have never heard of Yehaw Bob! I know, I know. . . I have been accused in the past of being asleep through many important parts of my life, but this is a new one for me. With the enthusiasm I detected in the thread for him, I immediately went to the number one source of facts on the internet . . YouTube. Yep, Yehaw Bob has a number of videos, both long and short. They gave me a good introduction of what I can expect. I will just have to go see him one of these days . . .especially since I announced to The World that I had no idea what Jimmy and the rest of you were talking about. We hate to be let out of the crowd.

 

[jimmytammy]

Dad, you have to see Bob!! Get there about 7:30-45 to get a good seat, no later or you want be sitting He is a hoot! He comes around the tables and ask where you are from, and names from certain folks. So last night, he calls me by my 1st name(he has a great memory)and I think he remembered me from a post in the AM on FB. So the show starts, and he starts calling names and calls me by 1st and last name, and I am thinking how in the world did he remember my last name, then dawned on me, FB! So I got to go up to the stage 4 times at his prompting. Yall would love it, just be prepared to laugh

Granny, loved Paradiso, a new favorite

Happy Halloween groupie friends!

 

[jimmytammy]

Happy Halloween!!!!

We had an uneventful drive yesterday, got home around 8:20pm. Now back to work to pay for the upcoming cruise

 

[Granny]

HAPPY HALLOWEEN GROUPIES !!!


TRICK? OR TREAT?????

 

[DiznyDi]

Whoa Groupies - we're next to last at the bottom of page one. That just can't be!

Whats everyone up to this week?

Corinne, do you have an update?

Cute Halloween graphic, Granny! Thanks

 

[Kathymford]

I'll chime in. On Halloween, we went to the Hollywood Bowl that had Danny Elfman and the entire original cast sing along to a showing of the Nightmare Before Christmas with the philharmonic. So. Much. Fun. Apparently, it was the first time they have done this with the entire original cast performing. And then after the movie, he came out and did a few reprisals. AND THEN came out with his electric guitar and performed Dead Man's Party.

For those that don't know, he has stated multiple times that he would never perform that song again. And he even said he hadn't performed it in 20 years!

Oh, Di, I can't believe it. I usually check the board on Sunday evenings to see where we are and post appropriately, but I was busy with a craft project and totally did not get on my computer.

We have been getting some good rain. Flooding in a lot of areas, but we are at least out of our burn ban. We are 31 days away from our December cruise on the Disney Wonder leaving from Galveston. So looking forward to getting a Disney fix.

 

[jimmytammy]

Hey Di! For Halloween, we went to my folks house, had pizza and handed out candy. They had unusually large groups of kids, enough so that Kristian and I had to make a run to the store for more candy! Watched the Panthers game last night(and stayed up way too late to do so)but it was a victory, so I guess the lost sleep was worth it(not reallyI will be paying for it later today). And getting full swing back into the work week after time in the World.

 

[horselover]

Congrats to your Panthers Jimmy. Perfect season so far just like my Pats.

 

[Kathymford]

I only caught the 4th quarter last night, but it was great! So impressed with Cam's maturity these last few years. And he looks like he's having the time of his life. I guess 7-0 will do that...

 

[sleepydog25]

Congrats to your Panthers Jimmy. Perfect season so far just like my Pats.

Let's not forget the Broncos and the Bengals. . .

 

[horselover]

Let's not forget the Broncos and the Bengals. . .

My apologies. Do we have Broncos & Bengals fans here? Bengals aren't on our schedule & the Broncos I'll pay attention to when the time comes.
