What Time is the 4 o'clock Rain? -- Updates 11/2-4 -- Tim's surprise and Marco&Recap

[KatMark]

I didn't say yes, sure, why not, go ahead... guess you took the liberty yourself.

I couldn't resist.


Again, no answer....

Figured I should keep quiet before I got in more trouble with you.

Which pictures are you referring to?

The Whip picture silly!

Yea, i know.....

I can think of no one more deserving (well, except for me of course).

For some reason I can't talk Kathy into deleting it.

Nope...not happening.


Here is the story (short version) A DIS friend of ours Liesa (All7OfUs) who was living in Kazakstan at the time, was running a game on her PTR. I won the game and she sent me a whip as a prize. As any good DISer does, I took pictures of my package that traveled 1/2 way around the world and of my prize. I figured what is the fun of taking a picture of a whip that is sitting on the stairs, so I had my DW take some pics of the whip in action. Yea, DW thinks I'm a weirdo but she knew what she was getting into when she married me.

Kathy saved the picture on her computer and she decides to torture me with it once a year.

So that is the back story to the whip picture.

That was a hoot when it first came out.

No whips huh...Maybe a wooden spoon????

Nope, not a wooden spoon.

I haven't even finished reading through all of the last few pages but I have to stop and comment on two things.

Love the sweet picture of you and Mark in front of the castle.

Thank you, friend.

And you know how much I LOVE reading about the always beautiful balloon tribute to your Dad. Makes me tear up every single time.

Thank you very much.

All caught up!! Great pics and updates.

Hi, Mary; glad you are caught up. How are you, Jeff and the girls doing?

Holy Cow!!!!!

I was about 20 pages behind and I just got caught up !!!!

You were in Disney...no time to DIS.

Not sure I can remember all I wanted to comment on but there goes

Raglan Road looked like a ton of fun. Need to get back to Earl's again, been too long.

We had a blast with our stranger friends.

I really enjoyed the OKW main pool.

It's great, isn't it?

Love how you sped around on your MK morning. Way to go!!

Not bad for old people, huh?

As always I get teary over your traditions regarding your Dad and it seems like the mom really got what you were doing.

You are right; although everyone in the past was very nice and appreciated the balloon, this mom truly did "get it."

So sorry SE was down, I know that moment was rough. Happy that your wonderful hubby was able to cheer you up.

Thanks, Pat; me too!

Tim, I know I said no update until Monday, but the boss is coming in tomorrow which he doesn't usually do, so it might be a busy day. And it is close enough to Monday that you can check in if you have time before your trip on Wednesday.

So, anyway, I last left you with us seeing Pooh and Tigger and them cheering me up and some photos on the bridge.

We then were in France and figured we'd not had enough photopass pictures, so why not get some more.









Are photos taken, we went to see the film in France.















We left France and skipped the shops as the perfume smell makes me quite ill. We were soon in Morocco and found something we had not seen there before...a Photopass Photographer.

Are you guys sick of photopass pictures yet? Too bad...my TR and I'm posting them all.







Passing Japan, we saw the drummers were out. We didn't stop as the sky was getting very dark again so I snapped a picture or two as we kept walking.





As it looked like it was going to rain, we skipped the American pavilion as well as Italy and got to Germany because Mark wanted to hit the caramel shop. He got his purchase to go (we ended up putting them in the fridge and he took them for the ride to Marco the next day).





And you'll never guess what we found in Germany! A photopass photographer.





Up next, we say goodbye to Epcot and head somewhere new

 

[emmysmommy]

I declare! You truly got your $ worth out of those PP photographers! I try not to miss an opportunity to pose wherever they are poised with their cameras as well.

It has been a couple years since we've seen the movie in France.... even so, I believe it ended up being nap time when we were there last time.

Looks like you avoided the rain for now... foreboding I'm sure because it will be 4pm soon!

 

[DMGeurts]

I loved all of the Epcot pictures... I am so glad you posted all of them. I've seen Photopass photographers in the pavilions before - but I am not sure I have seen them is ALL of them pavillions at the same time! LOL

And of course - they all turned out so adorable.

Yay for caramel, that does sound good right now.

D~

 

[Disney9.9.10]

You really got your money's worth out of those PP photographers! The photos all look great It really did start to get dark, going to buy some caramel sounds like a great plan for a day like that.

 

[that's nice]

Tim, I know I said no update until Monday, but the boss is coming in tomorrow which he doesn't usually do, so it might be a busy day. And it is close enough to Monday that you can check in if you have time before your trip on Wednesday.

Hey looky here.. I got mentioned in a KatMark TR!!!!

We then were in France and figured we'd not had enough photopass pictures, so why not get some more.

Cute pictures! We aren't doing photopass this time. I'll just act like I am and give the photographer my camera.

As it looked like it was going to rain, we skipped the American pavilion as well as Italy and got to Germany because Mark wanted to hit the caramel shop. He got his purchase to go (we ended up putting them in the fridge and he took them for the ride to Marco the next day).

We skipped that last time... the line was super long. We aren't going to Epcot this trip so I guess we will be skipping it again.

And you'll never guess what we found in Germany! A photopass photographer.

Amazing! I feel like you guys couldn't find one all trip!

 

[scottny]

So sorry you were not able to ride Spaceship earth.
This next trip we are going to do the films in the countries again.
Fun times with Pooh and Tigger.
Nice photopass pics.

 

[afwdwfan]

Is it another whip? Maybe a mace?

I have to go now too....but, first.....

Yeah, just had to repost this, just because...

had to repost this, just because I can

See, apparently, I'm not the only one that feels that way.

For some reason I can't talk Kathy into deleting it.

It is already out there, Tim. Even if she did delete it, I'm sure it would still make an appearance from time to time.

Are photos taken, we went to see the film in France.

I think these pictures might be the most I've ever seen of that film...

Are you guys sick of photopass pictures yet? Too bad...my TR and I'm posting them all.

Isn't that kind of what a TR is for???

As it looked like it was going to rain, we skipped the American pavilion as well as Italy and got to Germany because Mark wanted to hit the caramel shop.

The man knows what he wants. And he made a good choice

And you'll never guess what we found in Germany! A photopass photographer.

No way!!!!!

Next thing you know, you'll be telling us you had to stop at Starbucks on your way to Marco.

 

[TMGosizk]

Loved your Photopass tour through World Showcase! You got such great shots!

We still haven't seen the movie in France! It was great to see your pictures of it!!

Hope you had a good weekend, Kathy!

 

[Tinker_Tam]

Wow! What great photopass pictures you got. I love Photopass and we plan to take advantage of it every chance we get. Jon pre-purchased the Photopass+ as part of my Christmas gift. He's a good guy!!

 

[that's nice]

Yeah, just had to repost this, just because...

Hope you are having fun....

See, apparently, I'm not the only one that feels that way.

It is already out there, Tim. Even if she did delete it, I'm sure it would still make an appearance from time to time.

I guess I have only my self to blame. But if you can't make fun of yourself then who can you make fun of?

Barry.

 

[Chicago Mo]

OMG! The whip picture had me ROLLING!!!

I was like 10 pages behind and i did CRY AND LAUGH!!! sorry about space..

then you bust out with that!!!!


damn RIOT!!!!




Ok Going back to being in a bad mod at work...

 

[Linda67]

Keep the PP pics coming - we love them!!

 

[shan23877]

Kathy I think I'm all caught up! (I'm subbed to the PTR but haven't commented yet).

Once again you had me in tears reading about your balloon tradition. Such a special way to remember your dad.

Great job by Mark finding ways to cheer you up after the SSE disappointment.

LOVE the Morocco photos!

 

[KatMark]

I declare! You truly got your $ worth out of those PP photographers! I try not to miss an opportunity to pose wherever they are poised with their cameras as well.

I did; we were in a share and I had more pictures then anyone else...and they all had kids.

It has been a couple years since we've seen the movie in France.... even so, I believe it ended up being nap time when we were there last time.

I must admit I fell asleep in that movie on the girls trip.

Looks like you avoided the rain for now... foreboding I'm sure because it will be 4pm soon!

Yes, it was and it was time for the 4 o'clock rain.

I loved all of the Epcot pictures... I am so glad you posted all of them. I've seen Photopass photographers in the pavilions before - but I am not sure I have seen them is ALL of them pavillions at the same time! LOL

It was the first time, besides France, that we had actually seen them in a pavilion.

And of course - they all turned out so adorable.

Thank you.

Yay for caramel, that does sound good right now.

D~

Mark loves his caramel (me, not so much).

You really got your money's worth out of those PP photographers! The photos all look great It really did start to get dark, going to buy some caramel sounds like a great plan for a day like that.

Yes, we did, and thank you. I'm really surprised he didn't get more, but I think he was afraid of it sitting in the car the next day when we were at our tour.

Hey looky here.. I got mentioned in a KatMark TR!!!!

I'm sure I've mentioned you once or twice before.

Cute pictures! We aren't doing photopass this time. I'll just act like I am and give the photographer my camera.

I think we might do that in December; I've not made up my mind yet.

We skipped that last time... the line was super long. We aren't going to Epcot this trip so I guess we will be skipping it again.

Why no Epcot? Which parks are you doing?

Amazing! I feel like you guys couldn't find one all trip!

HA HA HA funny man.

So sorry you were not able to ride Spaceship earth.

Me too.

This next trip we are going to do the films in the countries again.

I doubt we will do any in December or June; we will probably wait for Mark's and my alone trip in August/September.

Fun times with Pooh and Tigger.

They certainly cheered me up.

Nice photopass pics.

Thank you, Scott.

 

[KatMark]

Please do NOT encourage Mark.

Yeah, just had to repost this, just because...

Nice job, Andy.

See, apparently, I'm not the only one that feels that way.

Nope...there are a few of us.

It is already out there, Tim. Even if she did delete it, I'm sure it would still make an appearance from time to time.

And I bet I could guess WHO would post it.

I think these pictures might be the most I've ever seen of that film...

Obviously, you've never seen the film.

Isn't that kind of what a TR is for???

Yes, but without kids, people might get sick of looking at us.

The man knows what he wants. And he made a good choice

Yes he does; he chose me, didn't he?

No way!!!!!

Next thing you know, you'll be telling us you had to stop at Starbucks on your way to Marco.

You will just have to wait and see when I get to that day, won't you?

Loved your Photopass tour through World Showcase! You got such great shots!

Thanks, Toni-Marie.

We still haven't seen the movie in France! It was great to see your pictures of it!!

I like it the best because you can actually SIT down.

Hope you had a good weekend, Kathy!

I did; hope you did too.

Wow! What great photopass pictures you got. I love Photopass and we plan to take advantage of it every chance we get. Jon pre-purchased the Photopass+ as part of my Christmas gift. He's a good guy!!

Thank you, Tammy. Suggestion: Have the PP Photographer take a picture with your camera too. I've read so many reports on the DIS and on FB of people losing whole sets of pictures.

 

[KatMark]

Hope you are having fun....

He is; we are.



Oh you love it and you know it.

I guess I have only my self to blame. But if you can't make fun of yourself then who can you make fun of?

Absolutely; however, I prefer making fun of you than me.

Barry.

Who is that? Is he still alive?

OMG! The whip picture had me ROLLING!!!

Tim is a character, and a great guy and dad too (I have to give him a little bit of credit).

I was like 10 pages behind and i did CRY AND LAUGH!!! sorry about space..

Thank you.

then you bust out with that!!!!


damn RIOT!!!!

Tim started it...I couldn't resist.

Ok Going back to being in a bad mod at work...

I'm sorry you are having a bad day at work. You want me to punch someone's lights out?

Keep the PP pics coming - we love them!!

Thank you, Linda.

Kathy I think I'm all caught up! (I'm subbed to the PTR but haven't commented yet).

Shannon; we've missed you around here. PTR isn't far along yet.

Once again you had me in tears reading about your balloon tradition. Such a special way to remember your dad.

Thank you.

Great job by Mark finding ways to cheer you up after the SSE disappointment.

He is the best!

LOVE the Morocco photos!

Thank you.


I SHOULD HAVE POINTED OUT THAT ONCE TIM'S SURPRISE IS REVEALED ON SATURY, I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW WHAT I DID FOR HIM. IT TRULY WASN'T THAT BIG OF A DEAL. BUT I KINDA LIKE THE GUY AND WAS GLAD I COULD DO IT.

 

[Deesknee]

I love the 1st picture of you two in Paris! You both just seem to shine!
I wish we had had taken more PP pictures.
Personally, I will never get sick of seeing your PP's. !!!

We haven't done the "movie" countries in many many years. Maybe we will start to do one per Epcot trip.

can't wait to see what it is

I'm getting the PP+ for our trip so if we get some PP photos together I'm happy to share

you got some very sweet photos in Epcot, you definitely cruised around the world pretty quickly!
