Love buying the passholder and DVC pins! I didn't actually look at them on my last trip. They were really cute!

The wait time issue seemed to be a problem throughout my trip. It would be posted as something really low and then by the time we'd get there, it would be insane.

Now that I know they exisit I usually try to make sure I check.

I blame the apps. I think when a wait time is short, a rush comes from those checking wait times by phone.
I have encountered a short wait time and made it inside the attrraction quickly only to be greeted with all of humanity on the way out.

I have checked Mobile magic, started walking towards an attraction, refreshed the screen and the wait time triples as I arrive and notice the wait time on the baord outside the attraction changes before my eyes.

Congrats on doing the run today. My treadmill is in my garage and its so cold I don't even want to go out there. Brrrrrh!

I'm not sure if I like the new DVC logo. I liked the old one better.

ToT going from 13 minutes to 80 minutes. Yikes!

I love your pins. We have found that mornings at HS are a good time to get photos with characters. Wow on the 70 min wait on TOT. I have always been too chicken to ride it anyway.

Nice job with the run Pat. It was nice to see a picture of your friends from a previous trip.

Wow, I've never seen the ToT line back that far.

Frightening wait times but adorable pics with D&D and I love the pins!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the gloves onthe first mile and a half. Shoved them in my pockets untilt he end. After the race as we were hanging around, I got cold again and put them back on. Today is much nicer and the sun is out but still mighty chilly.

The new logo is more subtle. I am still used to the moutains and waves.

ToT wait time was

I was lucky to catch them as they were coming out. I love ToT and was a bit bummed that and surprised the crowd swellled that early. My plan was to get there after the fireworks on NYE.

Thanks. I am trying to convince them to join me in July.

I have never seen that either. I can't say if the additional line was open. You know the one that leads by the natatorium. But I really did walk by all those people actually wondering why they were standing there.

When I realized I had to double back to find the back of the line.

People were up early on that day. Sure didn't help that the CM at the corner was announcing a 13 minute wait. I almost walked up to them and told them it was now 70 min but I didn't.


I need to pick up a shadowbox for my 40th anniversay pins and my special AP and DVC pins.

Wow, love some of those pins.....especially the DVC pin with Minnie and Mickey, and the Osborne Family Festival of Lights! Wish I had some of those. Guess I will have to look for those on Ebay!

Now who in the world could be texting you at Disney at New Years???

Something was telling me to pick up both NYE pins but I thought I was being a little greedy. I should have listened to the voice.

At times my poor cell phone was dinging away.


Hey don't you have a TR to start????

It's coming.......just want to wait until nobody is expecting it so I can see who is paying attention.......... It is written, but I don't want anyone posting a reply before I can reserve that second post for chapter links.......

Sorry for the double post! Some more "fun with the DIS" going on.......

Good job with the run! Amazing that you have the discipline to go running in that weather! Love your picture of the "crowds" at DHS

I agree they also have those apps were the users can update the wait time at they wait, they probably have a lag on the update so you get a bunch of people migrating to an attraction because the wait times have yet to update.

Apparently so. I shouldn't say but.... let me just say I have not had quite the trouble you have.

I would have done much better if I really had discipline. Every morning I have been opting for more warmsleepy time under the covers instead of getting up and going out for a run.

The crowds even swell before Disney can update. I have been using Mobile magic from Disney so their wait times are tied into the posted wait times. Sometimes if I am close enough and quick enough I get there first and by the time I get off the ride I see a crazy line.

This time luck was not on my side. I should have gone straight there but I thought I would be back NYE.

Love the pins and the picture with the ducks. They looks so bright and cheery.

Sorry about the bad news on Sunset. Tot is my most favorite ride ever. Hope you made it back there at another time.

Congrats on your race! I admire anyone who can run . I can walk and sometimes work up to a jog, but it doesn't last for long.

Keep up the good work.

ToT is one of my favorites too! I was a bit bummed the line was so long.


I really only started running in Jan 2011. If I can do it any one can. Bad knees bad hips and a general dislike for running but I still do it.

I started by walking and working up to a jog. I can now run 5 miles. It ain't pretty or fast but I can do it.

Sometimes two straight posts isn't a bad thing........

 

[wigdoutdismom]

I'm impressed at your running! I walk fast and that's it...

So you got a text.

Was it me?

Sometimes 2 separated by 5 mins and 1 posts just highlights how slow th DIS can be.

Sometimes I run only as fast as I walk. I bet there are times I actually walk faster than I run...

Not that time. I think you were busy packing up and getting people to the airport that morning.
