CCIntrigue...aka Gwen

I really enjoy this thread. Hope someone revives it!

All caught up. Sorry, I've been out of town for a couple of days. Having never been to a Disney water park since River Country, I really enjoyed your videos!

I can see all but the latest pictures. Great job on the TR!

If we're able to make it, please push it to the 12th! We won't cancel unless we absolutely have to.

NaCole, when do you check out? We have reservations for 11/11 - 12/11. Hopefully we can see you! (But I won't be surprised if we have to cancel this trip too.)

All caught up. Curious about the rest of the dog story.

I'm in too!

I am guilty. We had to cancel our month-long trip trip to the Fort this year because of my mother's illness. It's hard for me to come here because I'm so depressed that we couldn't enjoy our cancelled vacation.

Sorry i got behind. Been spending lots of time taking care of mom. But caught up now and really enjoying your report!

I'm in. Great start!

Working on something that I hope will make my photos load easier ... it appears that this will significantly improve things. So I'm gonna work on all my existing photo links before I finish up the report.

Sorry about the laundry! I'm just grateful that we hand that chance encounter at the marina -- all because of your helping hand and beautiful heart. Thanks! I would have been more panicky if I hadn't been on that huge scooter. It was my safety net. And now I'm having trouble seeing them in Chrome! I agree about Pandora. It seems they have a lot more land that they could have used - especially the long stretch down to the bridge heading to Lion King. Sorry about your withdrawals! I know the feeling. If you ever get the chance to meet Jean Ann, please do

Thank you both!

Awesome x 2.

Hmmm ... I'm wondering if we both spoke with the same person.

Maybe she changed her mind ?!? I also found out that there's at least one TE employee (another hostess, not Paulette) who has a great deal of animosity toward Josephine. She said some very derogatory things about her to our group. Very unprofessional. I was shocked.

And she told me a few weeks ago that she IS retiring next year, Lord willing.

Thank you, Duane! David is working today, and i'm camping in my computer room. Wishing a happy Thanksgiving to everyone too!

Miniature bears? We visited Discovery Island several times and never saw them. I'm saying "hmmm" too.

Continuing through World Showcase. Then I got near the American Adventure, and traffic stopped cold. It was shoulder-to-shoulder people, and no one could move. I sat in the same spot for several minutes. It was so bad that a man behind me jokingly offered to pay me to mow some of the people down and create a path for us. I was starving. Had only had a breakfast bar and an order of onion rings all day. But the lines at the food booths were so long that I just kept going. I finally found a food booth with no line -- New

More EPCOT photos:

At that point I had a decision to make. Jean Ann, Ceil, and Mary had already gone to EPCOT. They were going to visit some F&WF booths for dinner and then go a dessert party which included viewing Illuminations and then a ride on Frozen. I really wanted to see Pandora at night, but the area was becoming way too crowded to get decent pictures. I had paid for a park hopper that I hadn't used, and I wanted to take some nighttime shots at EPCOT too, so I decided EPCOT couldn't be as crowded as Pandora and headed over there. Again, I was wrong. Future World wasn't too bad.

(NOTE TO SELF: PHOTO LINKS CORRECT FROM HERE ON) More Pandora pictures:

Thanks, Beckers! Thank you. Yes, it was great to recharge my batteries. The only thing was they were depleted again after two days at home.
