More! More! Not sure when my next trip will be so I'm living vicariously through trip reports!

So glad to see this report! I so wanted to be there and meet you all. Rarely do I find anyone who understands my love for Disney and you all most certainly do!

Next year!

Great report! Thanks for sharing it with us!

I don't completely disagree with you. The EWP does use ridiculous lights. And the music kinda SMB. But the whole experience of sitting on the beach watching it is awesome and has become such a good memory for my girls. Even better...we typically turn in pretty early our first night after traveling, and I love hearing that music while laying in bed. It means we've arrived. So...for those reasons I submit that the EWP does not SMB.

I agree completely! I remember watching it with my boys at several different ages. I think the sounds are what I remember most. I love waking up to the first Magic Kingdom boat whistle, hearing the MKRR whistle, laying in bed and hearing EWP and grinning the whole time because we're finally here, even the busses don't bother me. I'm sure I'm leaving out a few....

We also like to get on one of the boats and get out into Bay Lake for a good look at our surroundings.

Great report, thanks for giving us a peek at your vacation.

Have a wonderful time!

Very cool. That's my husbands favorite part of Epcot. He built a new greenhouse in the fall and wants to implement some of what he saw in Living With the Land to see if he can do it.

We'll be at County Line Mid-July. Would love to meet some more Kerr Lake campers!

We saw that tractor also. My hubby spent many years on one as a boy and has one very similar now. I know he's a happy man when he' s plowing or mowing something with his tractor.

I so wish we had stopped at Steph's site Saturday nite for the party. We didn't get in and set-up until late and were pooped!

I've enjoyed your report...thanks! It's also fun to read all the reports that weave around each other filling in the blanks!

Yep...this past Sunday and on the way in. When we got there the first showing of the Electrical Parade was still going on, so the sidewalks were packed...I mean PACKED. A castmember saw us and said we could get to the other end of Main Street through "there". So we did and ended up on the other end. It was so crowded we just stood there. Once the parade was over, things thinned out a little and we moved closer to the street and the Rose Garden area to watch the show and fireworks.

We stayed that night until about 10:30. It thinned out some more after the second showing of the Electrical Parade, but not much. We had fast passes to BTMR and used those but the wait times were to long for most everything else. We wandered around a bit and looked in some of the nooks and crannies and walked down some pathways we didn't know existed. We always spend our first and last day in the Magic Kingdom and we were heading home the next day, so we were taking in all we could.

We weren't far from you during the "Remember the Magic" show! Wish I had seen you guys...I would have introduced myself....probably not..I'm painfully shy. We took the backstage path when we arrived at MK that night. Not sure how I feel about that. It was interesting, but not the Disney I was there to see.

Great report as usual!

Hi Steph! We rode by your site late Saturday night after we arrived, but the party looked like it was dwindling down....we were tired and had the boys so we didn't stop. I rode by Sunday evening, but didn't see anyone. Hate we missed you all. It looks like everyone had a wonderful time.

As I said in our emails, please Thank Jordan for his service!

Yay! I'm in! First page too!

As an FYI... scientists say that we are never more than 3 feet from a spider.....

Okay so that creeped me out.....

Looking forward to more!

Pluto's tongue had to be shortened due to a sexual harassment lawsuit from Lady.

Seriously???

I'm in!

Southern Smothered Hot Dog at the Meadow snack bar!

Sounds yummy!

I'm gonna have to join the weight loss thread after this trip!

GAG is on my list..not sure Main Street Bakery will be open when I'm there, isn't that where they are putting Starbucks? Not sure what a Black and Tan is..drinking around the monorail sounds fun.

Walleye fishing?

Well....since I have a list started....

Any suggestions on what else I need to try?

Believe it or not....I've never had a Dole Whip. That and Tonga Toast are on my list of things to try this trip.

I have however developed an affinity to Pineapple sherbet with Pineapple juice. Quite tasty, but I sorta doubt it's as tasty as a Dole Whip in the Magic Kingdom.

Looking forward to the rest of this report and hearing about New Years with the Fiends!

First Page! Looking forward to hearing more!

Thanks for taking me along on your trip! Great report!

Wish I were an hour away from the Fort!

Yes, recipe please....that looks yummy!

Enjoying the report...thanks!

What she said........

As much as I love the Lion King, the Nemo show is my favorite. The costuming is so creative. Think I'll have to try the hot dog.

Patiently waiting for more!

I'm in... And on the first page too!

I'm watching them too Gwen. Although I'm still struggling with how to explain to my boys that I may spend a weekend with a bunch of people I met on the Internet and they can't meet people on the Internet at all!
