AC in A2......Aaron

Those old pics are awesome! I hope your mom digs the rest of them out for you! I bet Z enjoys those too!

Absolutely loved it!

My scores are usually fairly decent but I never seem to find the big $$ spots. Usually.

I promised you a baseball movie icon and that is coming up. Picking up where we left off: And now without further ado........here is Jobu! https://youtu.be/bWdfDsLvm9I Indiana Jones' bull whip: More displays: We will head to the museum's batting cages next.....

I collected baseball cards. Most of my good stuff was stolen in a home invasion while we were camping out of town near Washington DC when I was a kid. Have you ever been to the museum/factory tour? We noticed their was an air show over the river while we were there also. I wish we could have stayed and watched that. We did see a few groups of old planes flying around and doing loops and such. pretty cool stuff. He would have to cook lots of stuff on the BGE. I mean.....I would hope. I did. I collected Star Wars cards back then also. You would like this place Carol.

Next was DD's first ever trip on Space Mountain! We met back up with DW and DS who rode Buzz Lightyear again while DD and I rode Space. We headed for the exits after those rides and waited for our boat ride back to the Fort: We went back to the Fort to sleep, but not before the kids once again watched the Duff-meister on resort TV. We will be heading back to the MK in the morning with an unscheduled stop beforehand.

This was an exciting moment. We were about to use a FP+ for our first ever trip on the mine train. This was a ride 3 years (or more) in the making. This was going to be epic! Okay. So here is my take. The ride is good. The scenes, especially inside the mine are very good. The "innovative" ride vehicle on the other hand? I didn't get it. It's like they did something purposeful to keep them from swinging back and forth after they made a huge deal about the fact that they would swing back and forth. BTMRR is a much better ride. Don't get me wrong, SDMT doe

Let's continue on our boat ride to the Magic Kingdom: We arrived to find this wall in front of the train station: The street party was in full effect. VAMOS! And now I was taking over the wall pics to update you all in real time on the hub construction project: And now for our first MK attraction of this trip: Buzz must have been meeting people outside: Our first mine train trip ever is on tap next........

Definitely see VOL and AA. They perform several times per day. Just check out the times guide when you get there. Right? Thanks Gwen. I love sunset and sunrise at the marina. I remember playing tetherball and basketball on the 900 loop all day long as a kid. We play on the beach sometimes now, but during our trip, there was never a ball on that pole and it seemed the one on the other side was always being used when we passed by. What? I am glad you are enjoying DS and the Fort pics. He is a ham for sure. I don't get it....... :clint:

The DL pics are great. Hopefully you all will get to do even more once Rick's knee gets fixed. Safe travels!

The skirt/shirt is no worse than the guy getting pit stains all over the American flag in the background. Whoever came up with the idea to use the American flag as a wife-beater should be returned to sender.

Here we are after our nitratesicles headed to the marina: Did you notice the pole was ball-less? That seems to be the case more and more these days. Here comes our ride: I'm on a boat: We shall arrive for our first stint in the MK for this trip in the next update......

That looks enticing.

Let's had back into the museum shall we? Here is the fam inside the museum dugout: Info on the center brand that has been stamped or literally branded on the bats through the years: DS with the Great Bambino, The Colossus of Clout, The King of Crash........... https://youtu.be/xyFaLT-L2uk?list=PLVfMje9anC6rYRdLH1BVpVm0gXVmJiwjb Now with Kalamazoo, Michigan native, Derek Jeter: And the Splendid Splinter: Now we move to an exhibit by Topps Trading Card Company: An absolute icon of baseball movies is coming up in the next update. Any

I did a report on Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey during HS. That was awhile ago. It is cool. I think you would like the factory tour and such even without being a baseball fan. You should go Gwen. If you have never been to Cooperstown, NY that is even more of a must see. You are lucky you got to see that era of baseball. Ask them if they have ever missed 60B. Wow. I was a little slow on the uptake. I would totally go for something like that. Finding the right time with all the sports, school, etc is the tough part. You would enjoy it I think. DIT is always ful

I remember it being in low 60s for highs. Pics or it didn't happen. See?

We left off roaming around the Meadows area, and I promised you an endangered species. Well, I always deliver on my promises so here you go: Those were genuine, certified shuffleboard players off in the distance. I have not seen a shuffleboard court used at the Fort or anywhere else since I was a wee laddie. I took this picture for TCD: Then we went to the Settlement TP to check on the torn canvas....and saw the wagon was still back there. You can see it peeking out above the carts: We know from TCD's latest reports that it still sits back there, rotting away.

She did great. I didn't notice her getting more tired than any other trip. There were a couple times she complained of soreness and mommy or daddy gave her piggy back rides, but that may have happened anyway. That brings me to something else. We did not bring a stroller on this trip. We figured we would get a rental if she started to complain, but she never did. It was nice not having to push a stroller around. We had a normal sized backpack with a small cooler bag inside from "31". It worked out great. DD is game. I will see what I can do. :EvilPlan: I will see what I ca

I believe I have now officially seen the the sorceror mickey topiary and brooms at: Downtown Disney DHS Animal Kingdom Epcot--not in person but in your TR that one must be in heavy rotation. I think it was located outside the AK gates when we were there in Jan/Feb

The bench is cool. Matterhorn closed is not cool. The monorails do look cool. The squatty castle was cool for Walt's first try but totally uncool compared to Cindy's place in Florida. The picture of Walt walking in front of the castle is always cool. The update was, well, cool.

Wondering how Z liked MS.....we'll see if he has that in common with DD too.

That is uncanny. The Bourbon Trail would be fun. HIC?

I forgot to respond to these before I posted the last update so be sure to go back and look at the update if you missed it. I know it. That one will be around for awhile. They were quite good. DS just saw me posting these comments and got embarrassed again. DD having overheard the conversation just started singing the song again. :kickinass: Thanks Marty. You do need to watch American Adventure on your next trip. Thanks Michele! Today proved that again.....about 2 minutes ago to be exact. :rofl2:

We are done with a great Epcot day and on the cart back to our site I believe when I saw these turkeys on our loop: I saw this at our comfort station which showed we would be getting Mickey Readers for the MBs tomorrow: Now new arrivals would also not see Mickey readers on the wall, they would also be able to tell the managers exactly what day their comfort station would be getting them; when they called to have KTTW cards delivered. :rotfl6: DS sat down to do some homework and DD and I decided to go for a golfcart ride and do some exploring: No pavilion freeloaders:

I knew someone would say that! He was definitely more into it than me, but he knows where he learned his stance LOL. He is a serious player. Guess what he did last night when we got home? Hit baseballs. Guess what he did this morning before school? Hit baseballs. Guess what he wants to do after school?
