I wonder how the world would function without Google or
Youtube. Also I'm sure Google loves the free advertising that they get when
people just post somewhere that they googled something.
How did we ever get along without computers and smart phones? Seriously, I think about that a lot. Technology has really enhanced our lives in so many ways.
Is the word google a verb in the dictionary yet?
Also I have to say I love Illuminations too it's my favorite Disney Fireworks show. It's a pyromaniacs dream come true especially the Inferno barge.
It really IS a pyro's dream come true. You are so right about that.

The inferno barge is really, really cool.
The last picture is the Inferno barge being put away for the night during EMH, apparently it used to be stainless steel, the black on it is not paint that's what the burning propane has done to it over the years.
That's a pretty cool picture. I wonder if they have to completely replace the barge periodically? Interesting stuff.
Yehaa Bob looks like so much fun! Between your post & Cynthia's recent post, I think we have to go see him!
Oh - you definitely should. Its a great show. It's just so unique and fun. It's definitely worth seeing at least once. I figured we should take advantage of the car and use it to go see Bob.
And I totally know what you mean about the BWI/BWV parking lot! Luckily we didn't have to go back & forth to our car when we were there because it's definitely a hike!
Ugh - that parking lot was so stupid. There were SO many empty spaces and we had to walk a mile. Fortunately, we found a short cut from our room which made the walk so much better.
Hi, Mary Ellen!!! Okay, I would have come unglued as well when Denny walked in with a small bag, but that mental image is hilarious!!!

Glad a margarita and Illuminations made it all better!
It is a pretty funny image, isn't it? I still picture the moment he walked in and I was like "What the...........?"
Between your post and Cynthia's, I wish we had seen Yeehaw Bob while we were at Riverside.
You would love him. See, another reason why you have to go back. I can think of more reasons if you'd like?

Thanks. It's the bike, not me. I wanted to quite, but I told Denny if once I got my @$$ on that bike I wasn't stopping until I rode 25 miles.
Seriously, all of your Illuminations photos are gorgeous!
But I like this one the best:
Thanks. I do like the pictures that show more of the scenery, but they tend to be really hard to get.
Although the one you fancy is pretty awesome, too!
Are you using a tripod for these? A big one or just a little easy to carry one?
I rarely use a tripod anymore. I have brought it to WDW a few times, but its so miserable to carry around. I've gotten better and don't get nearly as blurry shots as I used to.
Oh, yeah, and did you find it really dark as you walked from Norway around the World Showcase lagoon? When we went that way during EMH, I swear I couldn't see a think when we were near the African outpost area. No lights at all!
Come to think of it, it was pretty dark. I remember on one of my girl trips we still had a kimmunicator that we had to return in China and I literally was scared because it was so dark hear the drop box.
I'm gonna say you had horrible success at Rope Drop, just like Poolrat. A few minutes late.
.
Let's just say that my arrival didn't go exactly as I planned.
Fantastic Illuminations pictures and I am going to have to consider Norway as a viewing location in the future! Don't worry... our secret.
Thanks! Well, as much time as you spend in Epcot you deserve to try all the viewing spots. Definitely give it a try.
By the way, I think the Boardwalk gym is great. Pretty similar to WL in terms of size, equipment and set up. I may see you at the BW gym as the BC gym is under refurb. As for location, if you were walking back from the Boardwalk, you'd take a right after the Wyland Gallery in the "tunnel" and it's on your right. The scary clown pool will be straight ahead.
Thanks for the information about the BW gym. I will definitely have to check it out...in how many days now???????
Wait - I DO remember where it was because it was actually close to my room. DoH!
I have to say, I really do enjoy running around the Boardwalk area. That was great. So much to see.
