Cast: The Floridacat

Saturday, 20th.
It had been a family rule that early Birds, me, quietly leave the room so others can enjoy the luxury of sleeping in. At 6:00 AM, my eyes are wide open and I get dressed, grab my WL mug and a camera and slip out the door. I head to RF for coffee and sit out front of RF in the smoking area. To some this could be pretty dull, but I enjoy watching people and especially the little Tykes that come flying out the door with wide eyed anticipation of that days adventure. Also get a kick of the Mommies trying to hold them still along enough for her to do the last minute inspection of each. I was amazed by the large number of pre-school families staying here this weekend.
The nearby eating area was filling up, so I moved down by the pool. A CM was good enough to locate an ash try for me and I sat and watched the Ducks swimming in the pool, except the two that came rushing up to me expecting some morsel to come their way.
I then walked around the Courtyard taking pictures from different perspectives and then into the lobby for a few. I then went out on the deck, across the back of the Lodge, for a smoke. It is neat to watch the first timers going around looking and exclaiming each new found feature.
ITS A SMALL WORLD: A elderly couple came out on the deck for a smoke. It has been my nature not to speak unless spoken to. The Gentleman made the comment that it was going to be another beautiful day, which I replied with my agreement. We started talking and getting to know each other and when I learned where they were from, NJ, I always have to ask their 9/11 experience. The real people real life version, beside what we got from the TV commentators. They had some very interesting stories to share and I took it all in.
The conversation turned back to Disney with their comment how it seems Disney cant do enough to please their guests. I then shared my bus experience from the night before and the Gentleman says, hey they moved my So-In-Law into a big suite. Well bells, whistles and red flags came popping up I my head, are you related to Fred Block? Yes we are his MIL & FIL. WOW. So I told them how we knew each other from our WL site and I was going to try to hook up with him today. FIL says, he is still in bed Ill call him. I said on no, I will find him later, but he was handing me the phone and I was talking to the Majestic.
My DGD found me and told me I needed to get ready for our PS at WC. We had a 10 minute wait and then in we go. The Hostess told me that they were putting us at big table and with all the room she would join us. I said great, but you have to sit next to me, which she replied that I had to keep my hands on the table. I said, Mannnn thats no fun. LOL DD told her she may want handcuffs, LOL So her and I hugged and we went in for the Skillet Breakfast. We witnessed 2 I need Catsup and a first for us a took the Catsup. Two took a bottle from the table and not unnoticed by the CMs. What happens you will have to experience, but I did not know a mans face could get so red, even to the point I felt some pity for him.
Well the girls decided to was time to go in to the Mercantile to insure they made their sale quota for the week. I decided to go back to my table out at the pool. I had made a letter size Mickey Mouse head, colored green, with FloridaCat across it and WL VET below that. I also included the 2 clip arts from my siggie. I had it stuck to the umbrella pole so if any DISers came by we could at least shake hands.
As I approached the table this giant of a man was standing there and when he flashes a big grin I exclaimed FRED.
