We have arrived!

That might be the side facing those hideous tables. I blame the tables!

The big area of non-functioning lights on the Christmas tree in front of Trails End looks like they are still inop.

Thanks for sharing. The cake looks really nice!

I'm exhausted after just reading this...you painted that "town" red! Ihope y'all are going to kick back today to restore

LOL, yea we took the next day off. We are going to a park one day and then resting the next. Took in Epcot Friday, why the DW was awake before the alarm I'm not sure but made it to epcot at 8:30 after checking the pup into Best Friends. Got in on the glitch an FP so had FP for Soarin, Mission Space and Test Track before noon. Headed to Germany to eat lunch, got seating with great people for Maryland. Got our CP tickets and was told to line up around 45 min early. Well a hour before, line was already between Moracco and Japan. First time I've had to walk through 2 countries for a showCP was well worth the wait. Whoopie Goldberg did the narration, very emotional. Stayed for Illminations and then waited for people to clear a little before heading out. Today is off day, going to check out Grand Floridian for the Gingerbread house and watch some football. Tomorrow is HS day.

Love your site and you did good on the cake. We had 702 in Feb. We have a Wildcat 5er and a maroon Chevrolet(some from Nebraska or Alabama may call it dark red). The site looks amazing familiar. There was a young squirrel that wanted to follow DW into the rig. Could it be that she was eating the chocolate off the M&Ms and feeding the squirrel the peanuts. So if a squirrel wants to come in, you can blame Gloria.
We were celebrating our 50th. Good site.
If anybody is considering loop 700 in April, loop 2000 is a better choice.

Again congratulations on you anniversary!!

I see you took your pets to the the kennel there. How did you like it? We are thinking about taking our dogs there a couple of days while we go to Universal

grumpyaggie: as a matter of fact, I did have a squirrel go between me and the steps. I just figured it was tiggerdad to blame LOL. Don't have any problem with 702, nice site, at check in gal said I was first to not complain about 700 loop
Anneliese 1959:Our storkie gets along great at best friends. Universal has it's own kennel but that is all it is, you have to go back to walk if you want. Universal was like only $15 compared to Best Friends $45 for the day but at best friends we had 2 potty walks and 1 playtime. You can customize what you want your pet to have but I believe the 2 potty walks are standard. He's staying overnight Tuesday because we are doing the MVMCP.
Spent yesterday in Hollywood Studios. At the park again by 9. Walked on Great Movie ride, Star tours and Lights, motor, action. Had FP for star tours and LMA but didn't use them since it was walk on. Decided to go back to camper and let dog out, bus service getting back a little slow but coming back to Studios was good. Did the Frozen Dessert party, was it worth what we spent? Probably not, (other than the Baileys hot chocolate) but we had to do it once. Osbourne light are fabulous, first time seeing them and was glad we did. Today is another off day and we have relations coming up from Miami. Planning on eating at Trails End and don't know what we are doing then. Tomorrow night is MVMCP so going to be another late night.

I wanted to add, I read some negative posts on the other forums about the CMs and the bathrooms, etc. I have to say that what I've seen has been the opposite. Nothing but great CMs, and that includes Marty the boat driver who sang xmas carols all the way across bay lake and orange bus driver yesterday that had the bus singing. We were on the Monorail at the Grand Floridian to see the Gingerbread house and a off duty attendant got on and asked if we were having a great day. I've got to email Disney and compliment Marty!

I, too, read on another board about messy bathrooms at Disney. How can they 'not' be a little messy at times when you watch a few of the 'slobs' that trash them! We've not had any issues to write about either, except after mobs of people have gone in - takes a little while for the attendant to 'catch' up! Some people just love to complain - just makes 'them' the unhappy ones!

Makes you wonder how some people treat their own homes - or maybe they just like to trash public rooms!

Glad y'all are enjoying your time to the fullest there!

. . . Hey Rusty, there's some bulbs out down there, LOL . . .

Thanks, but
. . . am not too bright when it comes to replacing lights
. . . when climbing ladders, I get nervous and strung out
. . . don't have store room access, so I am in the dark where to get bulbs
. . . when it comes to manual labor, I prefer to hoist a Miller Lite, than screw-in a Christmas Light

 

[JanL]

How many RustryScruppers does it take to change a light bulb?...Depends on how many Miller Lites you have!

It's been a busy 2 days. Company up from Florida City, ate at Trails End, then Tuesday spent part of day in Downtown Disney, their DD works at Disney Quest so got a tour. Very Interesting. Tuesday night did the MVMCP, had a blast, a little cool but not that bad, by 9 most everything was 10 min wait except for 7DMT and at 11:30 it was only 20 min. 4 cups of Hot Chocolate through the evening. It was actually good. Wed, we meet at AK at 10:30, busy, didn't too to much, moved to Epcot later in the day, got reservations at Italy for 8:15 for party of 7. After dinner, walked back to front, everyone was tired so went back to camper for a little bit. Company has to go home today so I'm doing the Richard Petty Ride along today and then nothing! Doing Nothing tomorrow too! Have Sat and Sun in parks, then packing on Monday. Will probably wait until we get home to post pics. Internet is really slow, even slower than at home.
