Hey, Mark, great that Wesley loved his cruise. But I really like your Goofy state of Mind shirt

Great report as always!

DITTO on Marita's comments! Especially about the shirt, Mark.

It must have been felt weird doing a park without Wesley but I bet you loved it too. What more could you ask for but a date at WDW.

Love the pictures of you and Rhonda together.

Didn't know about those cruises they sound cool. Of course like you said you want good people telling the story.

Hi Mark,

I am really, really enjoying your report. I didn't see if you got a response to your "what does the whole 9 yards saying mean" question....so here you go.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from WWII fighter pilots in the South Pacific. When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at the target, it got "the whole 9 yards."

It's just odd that I know that today because it was sent out as a random fact where I work.

Thanks for sharing the magic!

So, Mark, I was waaaayyy behind on your TR. Thanks to Rhonda's bump, I was reminded of that fact.

I have thought and thought about what makes Wesley soooo much of a magic magnet. Sure, he's adorably cute and well-behaved and he loves the characters. That doesn't describe A LOT of kids at Disney World, but it can describe a few. I've figured out what the extra ingredient is....CHARISMA!! He has it in spades.

I have the feeling that Wesley is going to be one of those people when he's older, too. A leader who people admire and want to be around. Just imagine. He's already got so much of it, and he's only 4! I can't wait to see what this kid's going to accomplish in the years to come!!

Now...you have charisma, too, but that doesn't excuse you from not finishing your trippie. So, you know the phrase...........

Our last day was to be a short one. But we did have several things we wanted to accomplish before going home. Our plan was to go to Epcot and ride a couple of things that had become fast favorites for us, Test Track and Soarin’ of course. We slept in a bit after the previous late night and arrived at Epcot around 11:15. I got Fastpasses for Test Track while Rhonda and Wesley went to the Character Connection. By this time we were hungry and decided we would try to eat at the Biergarten one more time. As we were walking around toward the World Showcase, I called Disney Dining to make a reservation. Thankfully there was one available in about 20 minutes and so we started making our way to Germany. As we passed by Norway, Wesley said that he wished we could eat there. So, not having any real plans, I just hopped up to the kiosk and asked if they would take any walk ups. Sure enough, they had a big group to cancel and they would be glad to welcome us for lunch! SWEET! I explained about our other reservation and they got in their computer and cancelled it, and so we had a walk up meal at the Princess Storybook luncheon! Our server was very nice. Her name was Sandra, and she was from Oslo. The princesses were a highlight, of course, but so was the food! Excellent!

After lunch we again caught a bit of luck…er…um…magic, cause when we got to the Visa picture place, there was NO line at all! We went in and got our free pictures taken and then rode Wesley’s new favorite ride – Test Track.

Unfortunately it was getting close to time for us to return to reality and so we headed for the Kodak place under Spaceship Earth to pick up our Visa pictures and to buy the CD from the photopass people. Get this. We had 366 pictures on our photopass! Yes, we rode that photopass train around and around! All the photopass folks were majorly impressed with our count. They even asked us if we would be willing to let them put one of our pictures up on the wall as an advertisement. We had to sign an official release and everything. We have no idea if they actually put it up or not, but it was pretty neat to be asked!

Then we headed to the car, repacked everything and headed back to I-75.

Blessings!

Your little Wesley must be one of the luckiest boys alive! All the CM's obviously adore him you must remember all this to tell him when he's older.
