That's so cute! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh to be young again.
Those pressed pennies are totaly non-Disney! What the Fort!!

Why, are you having trouble sleeping?? That would be a good way to get yourself tranquilized.

I need a golf cart because when I try to ride my bike to the pool, my margarita spills all over me and is pretty much empty by the time I get there.

Were you picking your nose or scratching your butt? (and you thought you were past the potty humor)

Does that mean you will be staying home, or that you will be providing crappy bus transportation services today?

Of course I do! You are always right, so I have to agree!

I feel like I've been schooled by miss manners.

If we're outside or if the curtain is open and the Mickey light is lit in the window, STOP. There will be sump'n for ya! My daughter ask what the FF sign was and I told her it was code for free drinks.... :doublebeer: :wine:

What I don't understand is why someone would take the time to say "I'm a fiend" by putting out a sign and then be upset when someone wanted to visit with them. That's the point, isn't it?
Stop by and visit us anytime. Just beware... we sometimes like to move our sign around to other sites in the loop. Fiends are like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get! :rofl2:

Lovin' the pics! Wish we could have been there to be obnoxious and unruly too!

I'm just a lush... I don't recycle. ;o)

Why do you people insist on posting in foreign languages today!??! :banghead:
English, por favor!! :rofl3:

Lou might remember that far back...

Ed, I would love for you to explain to me how Disney could create an online reservation system without any server side code... There most certainly are times when a simple web page just won't cut it, and this is one of them.
I admire your tenacity, but I think that the web world has changed much more than you know since you last dipped your toes in the pool.

One other thing to think about is that when search engines see the exact same content on two different sites it dilutes the page rank for both sites.
All I know for sure is that as a site owner I work really hard to create original content for my site. I do this because I hope that it will attract visitors. I would not be happy if someone copied an entire post, even with a link. Think of how you would feel if someone copied an entire TCD trip report on their site... Even with a link there is no real incentive for anyone to visit ff.net. They can read it all without leaving the page they are on. This is your site you can do as you please. I am simply saying how I would feel if it happened to me (not that anyone really cares what I write on my blog :rofl2: )

I'm listening to that on live 365 right now. :)

If it breaks down, we'll just keep on singing!
You don't get seasick, do you? :rofl2:

Day 4
Well, it seems like only months ago we were on day 3. Oh wait! It was months ago. Thank you to everyone for your patience in waiting so long to see how this trip turns out. As many of you know, I have started a business in the past year and it definitely keeps me busy. It is a labor of love though and I wouldn’t give it up for the world.
So now I am ready to continue this fabulous foray into fantabulous fort festivities. Unfortunately, since so much time has gone by since our trip, I have forgotten many of the details. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words though, and looking back through my photos has helped to refresh my memory. On our fourth day we decided to go back to Epcot.

If any of you are not familiar with my husband Bruce and I, here we are:

After we were done taking pictures of ourselves and spaceship earth, we hightailed it over to… Test Track of course!

Once we were done there we continued our adrenaline buzz with a quick trip to Mars. This was our first trip to the red planet and we wimped out and did the green team ride. When we returned back to earth we decided that the next time we would try the orange team.
By this time it was getting close to noon and Bruce was hungry. His favorite food at Epcot is the teriyaki chicken, so we made our way to Japan. Well, a funny thing happened on our way to Japan… Bruce found a turkey leg. There is only one thing that Bruce likes more than Japan’s teriyaki chicken and that is a big ole turkey leg.

Somehow the act of gnawing on a bone appears to be rather gratifying for my sweetie pie. I let him gnaw away to his heart’s content and then we eventually made our way to Japan. We hadn’t been inside the shops in Japan on either of our trips, so since it was starting to sprinkle, we decided to slip inside and poke around a bit. Wow!! It had been over 20 years since I was in there, but I didn’t remember the strange, but wonderful?? things that they had to offer. The first things that we noticed were the cats. They ranged from hello kitty to this creepy cat:

There were cats everywhere we turned!!! We twisted and turned and made our way through the cats, but just when we thought we were safe… We were attacked by the killer zombie bunnies:

Now I don’t know about you, but killer zombie bunnies just don’t seem very “Disney like” to me. These are also not the type of toys you would want to buy as a gift for your favorite three year old. Not if you want them to sleep at night anyhow.
I wanted to turn and run, but it was still raining outside, so we wandered around the store a bit more. We found lots of socks and shoes with toes.


Has anyone ever worn these? They don’t look very comfortable to me, but I could be wrong about that.
Bonsai!!!!

I found this item interesting, but Bruce wouldn’t let me buy it. Instant Buddha… Just add water!

And more importantly, it comes with a brush!
While we wandered around the shop it had stopped raining, so we ventured off outside again. We slowly made our way to my favorite country, Germany.

I needed to use the facilities, so while I did that, Bruce checked out the train. He loves the train. While I was in the ladies room, he managed to take about 30 pictures of the train. He did that last year too. I should have known better than to leave him alone with the train.

Although all of the train pictures are beautiful, I will not bore you with more than one. We saw a crowd on the other side of Germany, so we wandered over to investigate. Who should we meet, but Snow White herself? While we watched her interact with the children, I told Bruce about the story of Dave and Snow White. I noticed that every time that I would mention the name Dave, she would startle a bit. I grabbed Bruce’s hand and we moved in a bit closer. When we were close enough, I whispered the word “Dave” in her ear and the strangest thing happened. She RAN!! No, I would say that she SPRINTED for the door to the cast member area. I have never seen such a thing in my whole life. Boy Dave, there must be more to this story than you are telling us.

After our adventure with Ms White, I was hungry for something sweet. Our next stop? You guessed it… We went to Norway for some school bread.

After we had our school bread we were all tuckered out. This was our third day in the parks and we decided to call it a day. This is also when I ran out of pictures for the day. What happened next is kind of fuzzy, but if I remember correctly this was the night that Bruce fell in love with another man. Yes folks, bromance was in the air. Earlier we had met Stef and her husband Trevor. When they left the first thing out of Bruce’s mouth was how much he liked Trevor. I found out later from Stef that the feeling was mutual and Trevor had said something very similar about Bruce. That night we ended up at Stef and Trevor’s site and along with Doodle and Mike, we witnessed the beginning of something beautiful. Well… maybe not beautiful, but it was pretty cute. We also had a wonderful time getting to know each other and talking about… Joe. Just… Joe.
Up next Hollywood Studios, back to Epcot and bad timing for great news!

Great update! What a nice surprise you received!! Didn't try the bidet? Wow, that's the first thing I would have done. :flush2: :rofl2:

I didn't get any pictures of Brevor (since it seems so serious, they deserve a "Brangelina" type name)
We will have to fix that this year. Maybe we could get them to wear matching shirts like ever other Disney loving couple. :hug: :hah:

You'll have to grab your mask and head over there.

Totem poles! How awesome is that! It's so sad that they don't clean them up and put them out where folks can enjoy them. So much of the stuff that made the fort cool is slowly being phased out for something more generic. If they get rid of much more they might as well change the name from Fort Wilderness to Disney Campground.
Great find! You da man!
