I am with Grumpy, I love Wishes but something about Illuminations just makes me feel all fuzzy inside

Your pictures are getting me excited Debbie!

You'll be there soon, I told Grumpy about my crazy idea of a quick trip just to see the Osborne lights, he was ready to leave on the 28th, that's Black Friday and there's no way I can do that.

I wish you could, but I know that day will be busy crazy for you at work

What about the next weekend

I'm probably just dreaming, our schedules are really crazy. I've gotten sick the past two years during the Holidays, so my goal this year is to stay well. A quick trip probably wouldn't help with that goal.

More Illuminations,

Well there is nothing wrong with dreaming, I do that a lot myself. Yes you need to stay healthy, that is the important thing!

 

[MrsHeg]

As many times as we've seen Illuminations, I've never noticed this before,

We followed the crowd out and I took this while we were walking, it's too dangerous to stop, that's why it's blurry.

Up Next, Grumpy's Birthday!

that is a fairly recent addition to Spaceship Earth at closing, Debbie. Siemans is not only the sponsor of Spaceship Earth but also Illuminations now.

Great shots again!

Thursday Morning and it's Grumpy's Birthday!

Plans for today include rope drop at the Studios with a trip over to Epcot for lunch at Coral Reef.

We joined the Midwya Mania Madness and got our fastpasses for later, on our way back to Sunset Blvd we ran into this lady,

Here's Grumpy on his way to our favorite ride in this park,

 

[MrsHeg]

We entered the hotel and found the housekeeping staff to be very inefficient, the dust was horrible,

This group was having a horrible time checking out,

We had to take the service elevator up to our room . . . . . .

 

[MrsHeg]

And here it is, a Redneck photo of our ride picture,

No wonder I don't remember seeing it, Thanks!

 

[MrsHeg]

It was time for our fastpasses so we headed back to Pixar Place to ride Toy Story,

It was more fun than a Barrel of Monkeys,

(sorry I couldn't resist the pun)

 

[MrsHeg]

Lunch was at noon so it was time to head over to Coral Reef,
we saw a few "Citizens" on the way out of the park,

 

[MrsHeg]

Coral Reef has become Grumpy's favorite restaurant so I made ADR's there to celebrate his birthday, I also arranged for a personalized menu and a divier sign. For the menu I went to his Mom's and got a couple of pictures of him when he was a child, we only found one birthday picture of him.

We were seated and given our menu's and they weren't personalized, so I had to ask the hostess about them, she went to look and came back to tell me that they didn't have any and sent out the manager, he came out and told me he would go and check the e-mails, all this of course tipped Grumpy off that something was going on.

We were seated at a tank side table, and had this visitor for our meal, he stayed right there until the diver came and shooed him away,

 

[MrsHeg]

The manager came back and let me know that he was unable to find the e-mail so there would be no menu, needless to say I was quite disappointed, not only about the menu but also that the "surprise" was spoiled,

Here's the diver,

Grumpy with his Birthday sign,

The diver threw shells up to look like confetti,

I did check my email when I got home, the email with the pictures was in the sent file, but when I tried to resend it my virus protection software scanned the files and wouldn't send it so I'm thinking that's what happened and they had never received the pictures.

 

[MrsHeg]

After lunch we took a stroll around Epcot,

We had stopped in the toy store in Japan earlier looking for Bakugan marbles, they were sold out so we stopped again in hopes they had restocked, no luck. I think they are the hottest item for Christmas this year.

 

[MrsHeg]

This tree wasn't up when we were in the park the day before,

 

[MrsHeg]

Here's a Grumpy Viking, ,

And a few characters along the way,

This Snow White was GREAT with the kids,

 

[MrsHeg]

As we were going to the toy store in Japan the candy lady was demonstrating her candy making, we saw a brown dog, pink flamingo, and blue turtle, she really is amazing,

We also watched this performance in France,

We took the boat back to Studios and spent the rest of the evening there, I don't have any pictures because I decided to stash everything in a locker and walk around empty handed, it was great.

Up next, our last full day, and a new record for us. . . . . .
