caveat lector

As always, thanks to TCD for sharing. Even when not staying at the Fort, you provided copious amounts of Fort related ambiance. btw, I think you should consider copyright on "cornerectomy" (sp?) :rofl2:

Great advice. The 10 day really drives down the per day cost, and makes it less compelling to have to make the park visits "commando" style.

A simple and eloquent solution.

I think it's great the way you extract every second out of each trip. I need to work on that. Every trip, the night before we leave, I get reflective/introspective about he great time we just had and how it's coming to an end. It's a waste, and I need to save it for later when the vacation is over. btw, digging the report as always.

Wow. Where is the snarkiness. I can't believe this thread has stayed so constructive in its nature. :rofl2:

Double Slide. SWEEEEEETTTT!!!!

This stuff is hilarious. I keep picturing, in my mind, the poor tourist actually asking the question with astraight face. :rofl2:

They are tricky little critters. I can't believe the small nooks and crannies that they can fit into. I'm getting some of that expanding foam stuff for my next trip. Hopefully, that will prevent the problem before it starts. yikes.

Amazaing how far in advance you have to plan. Disney has quite the little thing going. :wiz:

My daughter had the same pole, while my son used the tazmanian (sp?) devil model. Not sure I will ever part with those two pieces of their child hood.

I hope you get your reservation. Maybe I'll see you there. Based on the strategic precision with which you attacked DHS on your first day in this report, I'm going to look back for some of your past Holiday TRs for planning tips. Thanks,

Getting to follow a "TCD TR" is definitely worth the transition from lurkdom. Welcome and enjoy the content.

Wait. I reserve the right to change my mind. :) My new favorite is of the pyramid at Mexico. Pretty cool the way you framed it in the arches.

Epcot with that beautiful blue sky are favorites. Awesome photography! You might have to give up your amatuer status. :)

OK. Cool. I'm caught up and it was very interesting read as usual. One addition to the beer at SW discussion. I am working from memory, which gets fuzzier every year, but I seem to recall a "Beer School." at SW. Its probably been a dozen years, but i remember it was inside a beautiful air conditioned theater with dif't beer samples perched on the desk in front of each participant. They explained how dif't incredients and variations to process changed flavor. They you were directed to taste the appropriate sample. I received honors upon graduation from that school. :rofl2: Sounds like it n

Well, I've had limited internet availability lately. Lo and behold, a TCD TR occurrence is afoot. I can't wait to dig right in and get caught up. Thanks for the update.

Same here. Always rented from Kenny. However, when I was researching, Steve's group came up a lot and it was also always positive. Seems like they both run a reputable business

As long as you are following the rules that are agreed upon when renting the site, I don't believe whether people are "bothered" or not is relevant. If you are following the rules, it's none of their business.

It's tough to ascertain what "days" are left on my old non expiring tickets. Typically you have to go to the ticket window at Disney for confirmation. If they made the service available online, it might make it tougher on these unscrupulous types.

Very cool review. Nicely done. Thanks. I've had many a beverage at the bar, but I think you've persuaded me to enjoy a meal next time.

Sorry for the multiple entries. This tiny netbook is driving me crazy where the mouse pad is located. Your pics at EPCOT from the monorail are my favorite (I think Doodle, TCD, and rm have already called them out). Its a neat perspective that I don't remeber seeing. GREAT Job!

Your TR's are less like reports and more like pictorial art. How you remember to capture everything, then later sequence and caption the entries is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad I finally got caught up on this outstanding TR. I've been slacking off.

This is a GREAT trip report!!! I think you should re-title it the "All American TR." You mention all the great themes. 1) Our awesome military - The reason we are safe in this great country 2) The Bald Eagle - A symbol of this great country (always brings goosebumps to see this majestic bird) 3) Memories of the older generation 4) Making memories with the younger generation 5) a plate with hot dog (where's the apple pie?) 6) Parade's and many, many more. Side note: While the bungie cords holding the grate on the beach cleaners vehicle is impressive, I have doubts that it would warrant select

MB has attained a Phd in Snarky. It is indeed rarified air. Congrats.
