I actually love Epcot too.  I just like the WS section WAY more than FW. 

Wow! I love Epcot. As a matter of fact it's my second favorite park. Next to the MK.
The seas with Nemo.
Turtle talk with crush.
The sum of all thrills. The virtual roller coaster at Innoventions
Soarin
TT
my DD8's favorite thing to do there is the great piggy bank adventure, don't ask why but we do it at least twice every visit to Epcot.
Mission Space
Coca cola cooling station
Going to the Biergarten for lunch and a great musical show
Chinese acrobats
Illuminations.
The Fife and drum band
Getting a pint and Listening to British Revolution.
Making fun of the French CMs
The Candle light precessional at Christmas time
The different Santa's at Christmas time

I actually like Epcot. Illuminations is my favorite firework show and I enjoy the pavilions. Other than Spaceship Earth and Soarin', though, I can't tell you the last time I didn't hurry through future world to get to something in WS.

Ok, no idea how this is supposed to go, but I'll give it a whirl...
 
It would appear that NICKI IS AT THE FORT...

 
And clearly she dropped the camper and R-A-N because that photo was posted 28 minutes ago, followed by this one a minute later...
 

 
Ok, all together now...
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
 
Enough time enjoying the scenery, we've got places to go!
 

 
Oh and Lou, they must have known Nicki was coming...
DRIVER EXCHANGE PROGRAM
 

Lately? Zero.
But I have been known to have a couple of pots of tomato plants, lettuce, etc. on the deck in the summer.
Last year I planted 5 kinds of mint and some other herbs. Boy did my yard smell delicious!
And there's nothing like "hey, I'm going to go pick some salad for dinner."

All Hail The Oompah Belly!
Well folks...this is it. We've reached the end of this report. Only a few more pictures to post, and then it'll be a wrap.
First, we have some business to get behind us. In the last update, I told you how much I had eaten at Biergarten. And how full I was. At the end of the meal, I looked down as I was patting my belly and noticed that my shirt buttons were feeling a bit strained. One of them was close to popping. I considered calling in the Army Corps of Engineers to do some stress testing on it. But I figured that it would probably hold.
But I wanted to commemorate the meal. So I took a picture.
Yes, I know that's weird. And I understand if you divert your eyes momentarily. It's not pretty.
Ladies and gentlemen....I present to you....
the Oompah Belly.

Just looking at the picture reminds me of how good that meal was.
Awesome stuff.
Ok, those of you that looked away can tune back in now. We are leaving Biergarten and making our way toward to front of Epcot. Unfortunately, we are heading back to the Fort. To get a good night's sleep. Because tomorrow we have a long drive ahead of us.
Along the way, we took a few more stupid hat pictures.

Oh, sorry.
Maybe I should have had you divert your eyes until after that pic.
My mistake. These next ones are cuter.


They certainly pull off the look better than I do.
If my memory serves me correctly, the girls had some TT FP's to use. Which they did. But before long, we couldn't delay the inevitable. It was time to go.
One last picture on our way out the gate.

And that was that. We hit the bus back to the Fort. I wrapped up the last of the packing and hitching, and we hit the hay.
The next day went very well...we made the drive easily in one day, and were back in our hometown in time to grab dinner at Cracker Barrel before heading to the house.
This trip was over. Done. Which is sad. It's always sad, but this time we are not sure when our next Fort trip will be. It won't be in 2013. And possibly not in 2014 either. We have a lot going on in our lives, and Disney trips will have to take a back seat for a while. But at least we went out in style. 2 weeks at the Fort! Lots of park time. Lots of Fort time. And best of all...we met some new Fiends and saw old FrIENDS too!
I'm sorry that I didn't mention all my Fiend encounters during the report. I was never quite sure on what day they happened. But let me just say, it was AWESOME to meet the Family of Bears, the MD Family, Fortpartyof4, Millermouseketeers, Drafthorsecrazy, plus see so many Fiends again that we've come to know, love and think of as family. I know I'm forgetting some of you....it's not that I didn't enjoy our encounters but my mind is overtaxed these days and operating on 1 1/2 cylinders. Just know that seeing you all made this trip extra special.
So on that note....that's that. Kind of fitting that I finished this report exactly one month from the day I started it.
That's one month of your life you'll never get back.
See ya next time!

I think I can translate....

It is too bad this got so blown out of proportion. While I did see what many of the posters were suspecting, I still don't think it was fair to make assumptions about your intents or the reason you joined. Only you know that. I feel very badly about some of the harsh comments that were made.
I haven't been around long enough to have seen what some of the regulars here have witnessed as far as "trolls", "spies", or others who seem to enjoy stirring things up or causing problems for businesses. So when I read your post I just thought you had experienced something negative and were throwing an FYI out for everyone. You were steamed, and reacted. I do it all the time. As many other people probably do, but may not admit it or even recognize it.
I honestly still don't think you signed on to try and single handedly destroy Tee Time's reputation. And, as a regular customer of his, even reading your original post didn't make me think twice. I would call him tomorrow to rent. Just figured it was some kind of misunderstanding. I thought you were just giving a heads up and trying to be helpful. I never read his cancellation policy before renting either. Guess I am a big dummy too, don't do my homework. People should really think twice before they type sometimes.
I know you said you were leaving, and I completely understand. That is a shame. But, if you're still stopping in, know you had one person who looked at it with an open mind. This sure did get way out of hand, fast. Must have touched a nerve. I wish that instead of being accused, that maybe you had just been asked to explain yourself further. Scratching my head over this whole thing.
