Hi-jacking my thread again...but Corn copping was fun Saturday.

The Maze was pretty busy...and I had a some "Directionally Challenged" people. The last group was very "cornfuzed" I didn't get out until 11:45pm...they didn't want help...so I just trailed them to make sure they didn't go backwards.

You can really see the stars good when the corn blocks most of the areas man made light... and Fender is located far enough away from our larger Towns and Cities to not have much light pollution. If it were up to me I'd put a ban on street lights...you'd be surprised about how must you are not seeing when you look at the night sky.

I moved from the S FL suburbs 4 1/2 years ago to the N GA foothills. Love being out in the country despite being just 3 miles from town. The stars are awesome here. I work for the local electric co-op and can't believe how many people want dusk to dawn yard lights installed. I may become destructive if any of my neighbors become afraid of the dark.

End additional hijack. Back to the vacation!

Hidden Mickey at Dollywood...

That appears to be in the Jukebox Junction or Imagination Section...I'll have to freak the kids out and point it out the next time we go down...maybe November.

Looks like you've got a little "Tie-Dye" action in your Signiture.

Woke up around 8AM thinking...it's Friday already? Originally on my Spreadsheet from Hades I had planned this to be Day #2 at MK...but after thinking it through...(because of something special I had planned on the upcoming Sunday)...I moved HS up to here and bumped MK day 2 to Sunday.

HS had EMH-AM today...being that it was already 8AM...don't guess we will make that. No biggy...we have a very limited agenda today.

Back in 2007 we made our very 1st ever visit to HS (MGM...whatever.) We had an allright time...it was During Star Wars Weekends then...Tiny got to do the Jedi Training...gotta neat video which I need to upload so y'all can see it...but all in all we weren't that impressed with the place. The Shows were not that good...and to get a good seat you had to get there somewhat early...spent half the day just sitting and waiting for a show that wasn't all that good.

So this year we were going to give it another shot...try and hit the things we missed. and NO repeats of those shows.

#1 on the List is the Rockin' Rollercoaster. I had FP for that last time...but we really had enough of HS and I ended up giving them to a group of Teens on our way out.

#2 The new Toy Story Midway Mania...an engineer I work with got to go out to Disneyland when they were trying to get this ride up and running out there in CA. When he got back he brought back some neat Photos from behind the scenes. When he described what all was going on in this ride I was blown away. You really have no idea how much is going on this ride in any given second.

#3 Check out Tatooine Traders over at the Star Tour Ride.

#4 See Fantasmic...if we can make it to tonight.

#5 Anything else we might see that interests us.

So we get going Decide to skip the Breakfast and grab an early Lunch in the park.

I leave the CSR and foolishly think I know where I'm going and make a Right off of Beuna Vista Drive onto World Drive...next thing I know we are leaving the Magic...see you again Real Soon.

OK...so I didn't follow the Purple Signs and ended up leaving the Magic...I exit onto US192 and "bust a U" at the first major intersection and hop back onto World Drive...and we get this Picture...No Rain this time.

I see the Entrance for HS off to the Right...but now way for me to get there...that's where I thought I was headed...so back onto BVD...and you would think that as many times as Mel has had me take them to DTD...I would have seen the entrance to HS off of BVD...nope not me...Heck I even Filled up the Tank at the HESS right across the street and didn't see it...guess they should have put a hidden mikey on the sign.

Anayway...we get there and get a semi-decent Parking Spot. Once inside I collect the Tickets to go get FP's for RnR.

The Plan is for me to get FP's and they will check out some shops and meet me at the entrance to ToT. Mel and Boy did NOT like ToT last time...but are going to give it another shot. On my way there I tak a Picture of the ToT...

I get the FP's for RnR they are for around 140pm. And I go to find the Group...I got the FP's quicker than I thought I would so I head back down the Street...Man it's hot today...Oh look...Pineapple Bars.

So I head back up the street eating and looking for my peeps...no luck...get back...and there they are waitng on me... and we get in line...I notice a couple of Brazillions getting into the FP Line...and another smaller group infront of us in the line. Man it is SO Humid in this line...we have som shade...but the surrounding plants make it humid...Mel finally decides she didn't like it the first time and she ain't waiting for it again in this heat...Boy goes with her...Tiny and I decide to stick it out...as we loved it. I think it was about 15-20 Minutes before we got inside the Building...oh blessed and glorius Air Conditioning. I typically don't sweat a great deal...but my back was soaked after that line...but man it felt good inside.

I know ther are some Hidden Mickey in the Preshow Library...but wearing my Sun glasses I couldn't find any. We finally get to the Elevators and are placed on our spots...I realize after studying the chart that Tiny and I are going to be Front Row and Center...

I believe we wnet up and down about 7 times...wild ride. Worth the wait.

Tiny and I work our way down the street and find Mel in Boy in one of the shops...of course.

We are hungry...and looks like everything down this street is Outside...no thanks...it looks like the ABC Commessary is the closest place for us. WARNING DO NOT EAT AT THERE. The Chicken Sandwich was made of Rubber...and the bugers were tasteless...very bad food. even the deserts were bad. After throwing away most of our food we head over to Star Tours...some guy has 2 FP's and gives them to us...Mel and Boy are not interested again. So it's me and Tiny...here he is with some Stormtroopers...

I'm glad to hear they are going to update this ride soon...with 3-D and a new story line. As it's not that good...and I give it allot of leeway as I'm a huge Star Wars Fan. Anyway we meet Mel and Boy in the Shop...Tiny Finds himself a shirt with Donald and a bunch of Stormtroopers.

Across from the Shop we see the Speeder Bikes and Tiny wants his Picture taken on it...

From there we walk around to see if we can find Toy Story Mania...man the layout of this park is just way too confusing...and I work in a Cornfield maze. We find it...FP are gone...I figured as much. We still have a litle time before our FP's for RnR are up...so we check out the Narnia Show. Sorry Aslan...you deserve better. Then we check out Walt Disney-One Man's Dream This place was really cool...probably the highlight of the day...if you have just passed this by...I really recommend taking time to see this Museum/Show...the Mini Displays of all the Park Icons is amazing...and the 15 Minute Film at the end is very interesting too. Very informative.

Now it's time for the RnR...I've been waiting for this.
Boy bravely goes too...as he is not a thrill ride lover...but we told him...if he sat this one out he'd be sitting by himself...so he goes. I love the zero to full speed takeoff...this is probably the best of all the Disney Coasters...I loved it...just wished it was longer...also loved the Aerosmith tunes.

So now we head back to Toy Story to get in line...Mel sees it's about 60 Minutes...Her and Boy decide no to wait...I think they go watch the Little Mermaid show...Tiny and I get in line...and wait and wait...See several Brazillion Groups in front of me. Here's Tiny and Mr. Potatohead.

Finally we get to our Ride...this is so cool...luv the 3D . The Ride was really cool...but I'm glad to hear we have a Wii Video game coming out.

I get out and feel my Cellphone...it's Mel...tells us they are in the ABC sitting at a table...we converse a little...Boy is feeling bad...sore throat...headhache...he's had enough...Mel has had enough...well Tiny and I have done everything we wanted...onlything on the list is Fantasmic...but it's only 4pm ...so we decide to leave.

Probably won't be back...unless I spring for Hopper passes the next time. We just don't feel the magic at HS...3 cool Rides...(RnR, ToT, TSMM)...but that's about all it's got going for it... If we had to rank each of our days 1 thru 11...this one would be somewhere around 13.

Anyway we leave HS and Mel wants to run into the World of Disney over in DTD...I drop her off and me and the boy's circle the Lot a few time while waiting on her. Afte that we head back to the CSR...We hang ou tin the room for a while...Boy takes a nap...Tiny and I go to the quiet pool. Mel sorts thru bags of souveners and Packs them in a suit case.

We go eat at the Pepper Market...Boy felt better after his nap...and ate well. we get back to the room and goto bed around 10pm...we are going over to Daytona tomorrow to check out the Flea Market...and have Dinner with some relatives...and walk on the beach.

Next Episode...Daytona (Day 8)

...it shall appear again...Day 9...you will see it...and it will be obvious then.

 

[trennr]

This one is really short...as we went to Daytona...and I left my camera in the Room.

Well we start today off around 8AM again. We do go get Breakfast at the Pepper Market...and Fill up our Mugs at Cafe Rix. and we hit the road to Daytona around 9am...this time we leave the Magic on purpose.

We are on the otherside of Orlando when the relatives (Mel's Uncle and Aunt...FIL's sister) call, saying they won't be able to make it as the Aunt is not feeling well.

The Daytona Flea Market is like a family tradition for us. There are a couple of coin dealers that Boy likes to visit...Mel likes to look at a bunch of different things...Tiny...he like to look at the Toys and NFL stuff...me I like to get a few "As Seen on TV" items...like I got one of those gadgets that helps you clean the Windows in your Car/Van/Truck...and I got some hard to find Vaccum cleaner Filters. Boy got himself a nice 2009 Silver Proof set. Mel found some gifts for her Aunt and Grandmother. Tiny didn't get anything.

We spent about 2 Hours going through the whole thing...and trust me it's a really big place. Once we cool off in the car...we decide to for go the Beach...and eating in Daytona...we are a couple of Meals behind as far as credits go so we decide to head back to WDW and goto DTD...then go back to the resort for a swim and eat at the Pepper Market again.

So that's what we do. DTD...Pepper Market...Swimming...Bed early for tomorrow we goto the MK...and I have a surprise for everybody.

Next Episode...Surprise #1 (Day 9 : Part 1)

This will be the Day we wear those shirts...and boy do they attract allot of attention.
