FINISHED IT!! :) So maybe I'm mistaken and it wasn't on the 4th of July but the 5th. But still remember hearing loud, loooooong and late fireworks that weekend. Thanks for all the videos and photos and reports live from the scene. TCD good for you telling the rent-a-cop "NO" ! Loved that :rofl3: To Mo, Jason and all the rest of you posters big thanks. You made me laugh out loud!!!! I'm a fireworks junky also, even just hearing them is a treat.

OK now I am really sorry to have been away for so long. Am half way through this thread aka page 16, but had to stop to say WOW! I wonder how else they spend money and what charities they help along the way. Maybe the rest of the story will tell me lol We live close enough to WDW to hear the fireworks and this explains the looooooong one after all the parks had finished theirs. I had a really lame 4th watching PBS from D.C. but did score an ice cream cone at Twistees. Sure wish I had been here, I'd have tried to crash the Fort, but it's hard to get in there on the 4th. Back to re

And the germs that become resistant or immune to it because of over exposure.

I too wondered how they would have gotten me off of the train. Fat, bad knees, hips not so great either, DO NOT like heights!! Did they let anyone just wait it out and stay on the monorail?

Hey Andy, What happened? Are you OK? Good idea for camping. How did the race go?

My theory is there are so many places to decorate that they need to get an early start. I remember the days when the trees lit up the day AFTER Thanksgiving too.

Thanks for bumping this up again. Reread it all, so much fun you had and stayed under budget too. I know a local family that takes the little ones to ride the monorail just because their kids enjoy that. They have to watch pennies also. Makes sense.

Loving all the Momma pics, such a happy face!

Today is a rainy day at Disney and it's lovely. I'm not at the Fort but live very near. Also the Fort is well treed, so there is a lot of shade. Tho I bet some of the sites are in the sun. Fiends, can a shady site be requested?

Thanks TCD for the link to the story about the wave machine.

A Troll trip report, interesting, veeeeerrrry interesting.

Aw Lou, she is beautiful! Must be someone in the neighborhood is putting out some tasty treats every day. Wonder who that could be

Love this photo!!

Thanks Lou, I'll be looking for your report.

High today was 85.

Hey Lou, have you heard how these bands will affect cast members and the retirees?

Wish there was a daily winner list. ON-LINE :raspberry: :raspberry: yup, I'm lazy

Sounds interesting, I might enjoy this. Did any of you Fiends like making the masks that were available at the countries in the World Showcase at Epcot? I miss them and that bear doesn't come close.

Is there a list of the winners available? Retired Disney family here so we can't enter, but sure rooting for some Fiends to win!!

Cool idea, how's it going?

Sure hoping several Fiends win these, GOOD LUCK !!!! you fiendish folks you :)

ACK :bugeyes: nevernevernever!!!!!!! You are a brave man Dave, nuts maybe, but brave.

Cool ride Lou.....thanks!
