CCIntrigue...aka Gwen

I just booked 11/5 - 12/5/17, and my deposit was $108. Nights without tax were from $96 to $120 (Thanksgiving week). Ouch.

David and I have been passholders off and on since the late '80s. We've only received one magnet in 30 years. Maybe we'll get one of these new ones when we get our new APs next fall.

Another Merry Christmas for Disney stockholders!

A projection show can never take the place of a parade!

At least if it's one of my grandchildren I'm not the one who has to pay for it!!

Thanks for the info! Did they still have a good selection of fruit?

I won't miss the lunch menu, but I will miss the salami and cheese at breakfast!

We were told by the CM at the Bike Barn that fishing is only allowed in three spots at the Fort now. One is Bob's dock. Can't remember the location of the other two.

That's what I was thinking.

Thank you, Ivy!

When one of your daughters gets married in the MK, I'd love to see the video!

After MSEP, David was tired and went back to the Fort. And, as always, he didn't want me roaming the park by myself at night. Especially since i was on an ECV. But I was determined to get some nighttime shots. It turned out they weren't so great either because of the rain. I could pop my camera out from under my rain parka briefly and then stick it right back under. I'd taken my tripod and remote control, expecting to get some great shots, but it just didn't work out. When the parade ended, a huge crowd blocked me in. And then they didn't move. I've never experienced that before.

Check into the Fort and enjoy your extra days!

My pictures of MSEP are here:

Jen, I'd have been able to help if I'd known about this earlier.

Since I'd never heard the phrase "happy wife, happy life" until I read it on Fort Fiends, I had to ask David about it. He said it's the same as the redneck saying "if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy," I've spent all morning editing my Main Street Electrical Parade photos. Now Photobucket won't let me upload them. I guess nobody's happy, at least in our house.

He's been very patient and attentive all morning getting me out to breakfast, a doctor's appointment, an hour-long wait at the pharmacy, etc. And now he's going out to mow my mother's yard. I think i'd better be nice to him!

Marty, I wish we could have seen you too! But I'm glad we got home when we did. My doctor was able to see me about my foot two hours after we got home and then got me into the orthopedist the next morning. Yes, I am working on more pictures. Don't know when I will start posting them, though. Since I can't do much besides sit here in front of the computer all day, I don't have an excuse to not post more.

We spent the night about an hour outside of Atlanta and left Braselton about 7am. My foot was really swollen, an I could barely walk. We made it into SC before 8am. We heard again that 95 is gridlocked and 26 is closed, so we were sure we made the right decision on the route coming home. We stopped at a CB before we made it to Greenville, SC, and made it into NC around 10:30am. After a fuel stop and a couple of pit stops, we made it home around 1pm. Next up, final thoughts.

Wednesday, 10/5, and Thursday 10/6: We woke up too early Wednesday morning, still wondering about our route home. I was in constant contact with Beckers, whose husband was driving up 95. Brian said there was a five-mile delay on 95 getting onto 26. That sealed the deal for us. We were going 75 through Atlanta. So we took the back way out of the Fort. So far, so good. We made it off the Florida turnpike and onto I-75 about 12:30. Smooth going so far. We made it to Georgia easily. Still so far, so good. Then we hit Atlanta. Okay, n

Tuesday, 10/4: Finally Photobucket is behaving nicely since we're home. Go figure. This was a beautiful morning. After a quick breakfast in Dolly, we headed to MK. We had one last ride on PPF and then went to 7DMT. We finally got the first car, so I had a great shot of the witch: The crane was finally down: The rain sat in, so we went to Gasparilla Island Grill at GF for lunch. Then David went to Alamo to turn the car in while I went back to MK. He joined me for one last attraction: Then at dusk we said our goodbyes and headed back to

Yes. He's had a hard time unpacking. He's been great about it, though. There are things in the moho we can't do without until my foot heals ... like all my underwear!

Thanks!

Love the drawer front, but it looks like a lot of work!
