Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo..Karla

Found the new Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom T-shirts at the Emporium today. They really do seem to give your cards and extra power boost. Still looking for the new extra card packages. The CMs tell us that the cards go out the door faster than they can stock them and there have been no restocks in at least three weeks. Hmmmm??

Gina...we leave tomorrow... :'( I'll be glad to toss your keys out the window to you as we go by on I-95??

Before coming to the Fort we were in Maine at Acadia NP. Lobster was $4-5/pound cooked for you...just pick it up at the roadside stand. Lobster dinner in Bar Harbor (1 1/2 pounder) was $10. Oh so yummy!! We stopped at Linda Bean's restaurant in Freeport, ME and the lobster was really good there too. Nothing like that nasty stuff at Epcot! I would be ashamed to put my name on that Epcot lobster junk! My opinion of escargot??? :barf:

Oh...that's easy....CANADA and the steak with truffle butter was hands down the absolute best!! Best dessert....it's a tie....IRELAND for lava cake and BELGIUM for the waffle. :drool1:

Have fun...just bring an empty stomach! You're absolutely correct! We started out with $200 and have about $50 left....and that was food only - NO DRINKS! You're welcome...hope you enjoyed the trip!

:wave1: Hi Rita and Mama! It was so very nice to see you again...even if it was only for a short visit. Mama is just the funniest and oh so cute ! Hope to see you both (and Ed too!) on our next visit. And for Ed......

Here comes the final installment of gastronomic delicacies from Epcot’s 2012 Food & Wine Festival. ITALY Ravioli di Formaggio all’Emiliana – Nice creamy sauce, very good but nothing that you couldn’t get at a decent Italian restaurant. HOPS & BARLEY Linda Bean’s Lobster Claw Cuddler with Herb Mayonnaise – Unfortunately, this was the worst food item we attempted to eat. The claw had a strong fishy smell. When meat was removed from the shell it had a peculiar yellowish cast to it. We couldn’t get it past our noses to take a taste…and I think I’m glad we didn’t! Linda Bean’s Perfect

Hi Gina...!! :popcorn:

Saw this new balloon yesterday. The sign is still out saying the attraction is closed and nobody was around to ask for information.

Sad to say but your site was filled with new people in less than a couple hours :'(. Wish you could have stayed longer! Great TR...waiting for the rest of the story! Amber's little Princess is stiff competition for Prince Aiden!! Just to tease you some more...here he is with his first lobster dinner in Bar Harbor, Maine.

Nope, sorry. But I will be sure to pass on the hugs. We had him with us for 10 weeks on an extended summer trip up to Maine, Acadia NP, and many places in between. We just returned him home about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Mom and Dad said it was time for him to stay home a while and rejoin the family. We're hoping to have him back with us to see the Christmas lights or maybe early next year. Hope our paths cross again sometime.

Yesterday we went over to the Carolwood Pacific meeting room at the Wilderness Lodge DVC building. We met Dave and saw Russell. Both were very busy talking to the many people interested in Disney railroads. If you want more information on Disney railroads, one of the places you can go to is www.fortwildernessrailroad.com Here's a few pictures from around the room. Here is Dave Leaphart. If you're interested in FWRR, you can purchase these books and the mugs too. Notice the spike and part of the track in the upper center of this picture. These are actual blueprints from the FWRR Here’s

You can't live in the Buffalo area and not know about Beef on Kimmelweck (weck) Rolls. I live for the days we go back to visit family and get to eat all those ethnic foods again. And, of course, I have to get my fill of Ted's Char-Broiled Hot Dogs too!! Yea!!! :yay: I'll make sure we are back by dinner time on the 4th. You can find us in 432...how about joining us for a GAG??

Today we continued our journey, eating our way around Epcot. CANADA “Le Cellier” Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle Butter Sauce – This was delicious! Nice tender, melt in your mouth beef, lots of mushrooms, and who could turn down truffle butter? GREECE Chicken Souvlaki with Tzatziki – Such a tiny taste made it hard to evaluate. The tzatziki sauce overwhelmed the luke-warm chicken. And, unfortunately the bread was dry. Spanakopita – Nice and warm, flaky outside, tasty inside that was not mushy. Griddled Greek Cheese with Pistachios and Honey – Good thing there was honey and nut

Sorry Rita...because of our unexpected summer trip (and associated costs!) we had to cancel out on Halloween. Hang on....we're off to Part 2

Welcome aboard! Hope to meet you at next year's festival. Hi TJ! We drove around the 2000 loop when we arrived and saw your unit. Went by the next day and you were gone :-[ . Sorry we missed you. Good mornin' neighbor! We will see how they compare when you do your TR. You will sure want more of the lava cake! Hello Rita! Yes, we are at the Fort and will be here until Oct 10th! Looking forward to seeing you, Ed and Mama again! I've been gone because we were on an extended summer trip. We left our home in June and took the long way traveling up to Acadia NP in Maine with our adorable GS, Aid

Thursday was the soft opening for Disney’s Epcot Food & Wine Festival. Come on along as we start a journey around the world with stops in many countries for some (we hope) fantastic food. Cast members, their families and friends were encouraged to attend. Official welcome to the festivities First we had to purchase our “thing-a-ma-bob” so we don’t have to drag out the wallet each time. It’s so convenient and certainly makes it easier for Disney to part you from your money . SOUTH AFRICA Seared Filet of Beef with Smashed Sweet Potatoes and Braai Sauce – The meat was so tender you could

If I remember correctly you get ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN Headline, PBS, Fox, ESPN (a couple of them), Disney, HGTV, MSNBC, Duffy Bedtime Story, History, TVLand, Weather, Animal Planet, A&E, Radio Disney, the usual what's happening at the resort, DVC Infomercials, some spanish channels, and even one Japanese channel. I know I'm forgetting some but I can't remember any for Verses. Maybe they will show some of the Tour de France on one of the ESPNs??

I should add that these are my personal observations - yours may differ. We travel with two small dogs and all listed accept pets (some have breed restrictions). If I remarked that WIFI or cable was bad it may have been fixed by now. Your level of noise tolerance may be different than mine so what I find noisy may not bother you. And, prices change so be sure to check.

I can help with some from North Carolina to Florida...we have been to all these places with a 40' motorhome towing a small car. I’ve included a short description for each. They are all maneuverable staying hooked up with the dinghy. I would feel safe in any of them. Some are older than others but are clean and acceptable for overnight. We also travel in small 4 hour jumps when our grandson is with us so we can take our time leaving in the morning and get off the road early enough so that he has time to play and run out some energy. We use Passport America when possible and find some of these

When the revamped Star Tours opened it was announced by Disney Imagineering that there were 54 different adventures. I think we have seen 5...maybe?

:heart: Farewell Princess....until next time...sending kisses and hugs!! :heart:

Yea for getting rid of junk food ads! Now if only they would cut out the junk toy ads too!
