Awesome!!!!  Now you will just have to change family alliances :)  Thank goodness the economy had turned around.  I'm hearing so many good things from grads and jobs this year.

But, there will be no more interviews.  Those trips got cancelled.

 

The girl got herself a job.

 

 

 

It's a bit of the shock, as everyone in the TCD gang agrees that we hate "The U."

 

But, it's the exact job DD1 wanted, and they have treated her royally.

 

So, here we go.

Indeed!!

Enjoyed following along!  Sooooo.... when/where's the next trip???

Ditto on what Brandy said!
 

Everything is interesting and I like looking at the pictures but I don't think I need to visit Disneyland Paris now that I have read your report.  On the other hand I do want to visit Disneyland in California because of your other report. :)

I use the generic Frontline - but only a couple times a year, and wait about 5-6 weeks between applications.  Patti isn't vaccinated against Lyme's Disease, doesn't have fleas but I'm concerned about the ticks.  We are actually kind of staying out of the woods a bit more this year because of all the bad reports. 

Mo I think I remember reading that the ticks were becoming immune to the Frontline!  Wonder if the ticks are too?

Might be a Mulberry tree - as that's how they are pruned.

These trees are interesting.  They look like rotten old stumps, but new shoots are sprouting from them.  I wonder why they are here and why the stumps were left when the trees were cut down:

 

 

I'll second what Norm said - the Hershey RV show is great.  Lots and lots and lots of RV's to hop in and out of and they have a lot of vendors inside the stadium too.... tho why they let the likes of some vendors like Bath Fitters in is beyond me.  The show seems to get bigger every year.  If you think you'd like to camp there at the Hershey campground - reserve 19 months in advance!  They open reservations in February of the year for the following one.  So call in Feb of '16 for '17 reservations.  Sites are very pricey, but they do at least offer a free shuttle to the show.

After a week at the Fort, I couldn't wait to get the magic band off my wrist.  I can't imagine having that bulky thing on there too.  Especially in the heat.

Perhaps "Pete" would have been a better choice LOLOL.

 And my first dog out of college was named Falk after Peter Falk.  That was a mistake.  Standing in the back yard and calling his name got some rather odd looks from neighbors who were not quite sure of what they were hearing.  Eventually, he learned to come to "here boy."

We had problems with our old dog - a 70-lb dalmatian.  I could help him get down the steps, but couldn't manage to lift him back in.  Found it a lot easier to fold the steps up tho instead of trying to lift over them.  We debated on getting a ramp, but for one, humans can't walk on them (or not the ones we were looking at anyway).  We ended up having to just leave him at home and have one of the kids come stay at the house while we were out.  That didn't work so well either.  We are just now seeing problems in our girl, who will be 15 in July.  We talked about replacing the 3-step setup with a 4-step one, but haven't done that as yet.  We just kind of let her work the front end and help with the back legs for now. 

Wow the things TCD will do to keep us all up-to-date and informed! 

Thanks for being a brave trespasser (tho law-abiding)! and posting all the pics.

Oh look they even have that nice FL Disney swamp water there!

 

 

Here's a screen cap of a Bing Map Birdseye view of DLP's BTMRR:

 

Truth be told, I hadn't gotten to the latest update when I posted this, so no I actually hadn't seen Eeyore at this point

 

Tell the truth: you saw Eeyore walking behind the float, didn't you?

(a bit late on the last update....)

I think those trash cans are so much better than the ones buried half-way in the ground at The Fort!

Hate to say it, but I think the cabin layout in the loops is nicer too... the trees give you nice privacy between each.

Where are all the people??? 

This shot was taken from in front of our cabin, looking toward the end of the loop:

 

 

You know, there is NO better way to travel than by train ... Least not in my book. :)

There were certainly much cheaper ways for us to have gotten from London to Disneyland Paris, but I had heard so much about the Eurostar train that we had to try it.

Awwwww

The design detail on old buildings never ceases to awe me.  To think that it was all done by hand is amazing.

 

 

Here's some old building that was in the area.  Sorry, but I didn't catch its name.  It looks cool, though:

 

 

Oddly enough, there is one property that does charge for parking - and that is Shades of Green.  $5/day. 

I'm surprised that Disney doesn't charge a parking fee for the WDW resort hotels.  They charge for parking at the Disneyland hotels, and as Travisma said, these fees are pure profit.  As greedy as Disney has gotten, I am really surprised they've held off as long as they have on this.

ROFL.... I thought the same thing, wondered how many folks have their cell phone stolen when they ask a stranger to take their picture...

Seeing this I immediately thought of National Lampoon's European Vacation when the guy steals the camcorder. Guess you got your camera back.

In and on the first page?  Wow.

I shouldn't have read this a half hour before lunch... now I'm hungry and have to wait.  Great pics tho!

Ireland is on the very top of my bucket list!

What a great place!  Love the Christmas theming.

Having driven a tractor trailer for a while, we knew we didn't want a tow-behind.  And once I walked in the first 5th wheel, we knew we wanted one!  What ever you get, it's usually only a small difference (relatively) in the price between a 3/4 or 1 ton.  Go with the 1 ton 'cause you never know down the road what you might fall in love with to pull with that new truck!  Plus the brakes (at least on the 350's) are a bit better than those on the 3/4 ton trucks.  It's not always about what you can pull with a certain truck, but more importantly what you can STOP with a certain truck!

In a word ... WOW!

We didn't get the kitchen sink either, but got a Mickey Pants Sunday - next best thing - and got to keep the bowl!
