devores 382 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I assume that was you guys who yelled at me over at the Thoughtful spot.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 No worries, Dave. We were wandering aimlessly at that point. You were busy but we at least wanted to give you a shout out. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Fa-Tang! I'm late but in. Having spent some time with some of you ladies, I can well imagine the fun you had. I look forward to reading about all your adventures! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 The Joke Bus & A Taste Of Heaven - Once we loaded up on the bus to head to DTD we quickly noticed something different. It was the special bus, literally special. It honked at least once everytime the driver turned. Nicole, I think, quickly dubbed it the Joke Bus. The driver was so embarrassed and tried to figure out how to get the bus to stop honking... to no avail. In the process he managed to some pedestrian jump about 5 feet in the air and honk the horn at pretty much everyone we passed. We got off the bus near Pleasure Island and headed straight to Ragland Road - Look Men In Black - While trying to capture a picture of the dancers, I got the first of what be many great looks from Nicole. This dancer was special. It appears that her arm disappears during the Irish Jig. Pood Forn..sideways but this was Mo's Appitizer in place of entree- (durn you flickr) Meanwhile I had a craving for some nice big fries and tarter sauce - Nicole's Salad and Fries- The reason we decided to go to Raglan road and decided against entrees and went for appitzers and sides ...Taste of Heaven...aka.. Bread Pudding! Next Up - The 24 Hours Begin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 A Brief Nap & The Fun Begins- We had intended on making it to Guest Relations after eating at Raglan Road so that we could do two things. The first was get Nicole her tickets and the second was get Mo's TIW card replaced. It turns out that when we had been at the TE for WWW they had given Mo Carol's TIW and Carol Mo's. Unfortunately Carol's card had expired. However dinner took so long, despite the abbreviated menu, that it was really late by the time we got back. We all decided on showers before bed so that we could just hop up after a 4 hour nap and head into the park. We set two phone alarms for about 15 minutes apart to ensure we woke up. When Mo's phone went but we all got up, dressed and headed out to the bus stop. There may or may not have been some slow moving people.... How we will dream of you fondly for the next 24... Nicole bestowing us with another look - Somebody is headed off to her happy place - And lastly, a really bad selfie group shot- I was expecting to find a bus with more than half the seats empty and no kids. I was wrong. Though there were seats available there weren't many and there were kids galore. We timed the bus route to see how long it took. Schmuck face knows his bus routes. 15 minutes or less. Our Target - We got separated and I ended up through the ticket readers while Mo and Nicole were in line at Guest Relations. I decided to go grab a locker key while there was one available. Best $5 dollars we spent that day. The rental is actually $14 but you get back all but $5 deposit. This is the crowd with little to no moving room at 5:45am. Here we are looking at Sully with my point and shoot camera zoomed all the way in. Our early arrival button. I am not sure how long these lasted but I know some people did not get them. And we are in the park - I know it's a short update but with three of us I feel like I need to stop this update in the event that Mo or Nicole have pictures that fall within this time frame that I do not....

alexwyattmommy 181 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Looks like a sweaty summer crowd there waiting to get in. That was a lot of people. You really have to change your mental preps to deal with crowds of that size. And it looks like someone had her game face on. I love the happy place photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You really have to change your mental preps to deal with crowds of that size. And it looks like someone had her game face on. I love the happy place photo. Things didn't get really sweaty until the sun came up. Then it was quite steamy - probably as humid as it would be all day in fact. Backtracking a tick, when we hit the line for the bus at about 5:20am, this many people were already waiting... As Nicki said, by the time the bus picked us up about 10 minutes later, the line had filled out quite a bit and the bus was fairly close to full. Here's the blurry bus that picked up our blurry selves. The time stamp on the photo says 5:26am, which explains the look on Nicole's face above. Nicki snagging a locker early was pretty much brilliant. We'd each packed a bag with what we needed to get us through the 24 hours - phone chargers, extra battery packs, ponchos, extra shirts, socks, sunscreen, water bottles, contact solution and glasses (for us blind folks), etc. The locker allowed us to offload as much stuff as possible to keep from lugging heavy bags all day. Whew! The one good thing about Nicole needing to get her ticket was that I waited outside the turnstiles, which meant outside the crowds. I was still able to get a good view of the opening ceremonies though... There was a quick intro announcing the special event and an appearance by Sully and Mike before the usual morning train "Good Morning" ceremony took place... I still had my paper AP, but by the time we were ready to go through the turnstiles the crowd had cleared out from in front of the train station and it was pretty much smooth sailing through. Dawn on Main Street... Still to come...- might as well go to Space first thing in the morning- morning "commute" on the speedway- silly spinners sitting on their hands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I don't remember anything from the ceremony that morning. Perhaps I was in lockerland or it just wasn't loud enough or I was asleep on my feet Quote Link to post Share on other sites
