Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Sorry, but I got behind and there is no way I can comment on everything that I would like to. So, I'll just address one thing. The calliope. According to the Disney Parks Blog, it is supposed to be out all this week for a 4th of July pre-parade. See here: http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2013/07/celebrating-the-fourth-of-july-at-disney-parks/ When I read this, I forced Twin #1 to forsake her friends and run over to WDW yesterday. We arrived in time to see the calliope in action. We had to sit through a downpour. But CM's assured us that the parade would still go on. And it did. But guess what? They lied. It was just that blue wagon. No calliope. Fail. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I bet the reds love the dance party in Tomorrow Land. It makes for a good distraction while we ride swap Space. TCD, does that mean a trip report is coming??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 TCD, does that mean a trip report is coming??? No. Not enough photos for a new trip report. But I will add the photos as bonus features to the last report. Check for them later today. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 This was the third wagon that we have seen in this room in the past year or so. Hey- Good work! I have seen that red wagon. And, I have seen that photo. But, I never put two plus two together. Awesome! And, I never made this connection before either, so Mrs. CK2 owes you some props. Not a fail at all: Does that look familiar? What about now? Anyone? Compare to this: Bam! The word on the streets is that they modified one the Flight of the Navigator ships and put it in Tomorrowland. They smoothed it out a little and added the windshield part, but you can still see some of the lines. I started putting two and two together. Then DW is all, “yeah, I knew that.” Fail. You probably already knew that as well. Apparently I missed the memo. Regardless, I think that’s pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CKCK 45 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 well... *I* didn't know that either so... KABLOOEY! That's a good one. And three syllables. You are officially winning. three syllable onomatopoeia: "murmuring" eh... Yeah. Three syllables suck. How about 4? Nice truck how do you like it what size camper do you pull I pull 31 feet with the tundra and love it. We have a 26' trailer and I also haul a golf cart in the truck. I have air bags on the rear suspension. If I didn't there would be no way we could put the GC in there with the camper hooked up. In a couple of months I'll be putting E rated tires on it, so hopefully that will help out too. I bet the reds love the dance party in Tomorrow Land. It makes for a good distraction while we ride swap Space. Luckily we have shielded the reds from the dance party so far. I don't ride SM too much because DW tends to get a little queasy after big rides. Plus, Redhead #1 isn't tall enough yet. Boi-oi-oing Does it count if it uses hyphens? The jury is still out. Aaron is impressed, though. You my friend are good. Hey- Good work! I have seen that red wagon. And, I have seen that photo. But, I never put two plus two together. Awesome! And, I never made this connection before either, so Mrs. CK2 owes you some props. Not a fail at all: That's two bams right there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CKCK 45 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Still Day 5: We decided we needed to check out the restrooms. On the way there I saw something I had never noticed. These topiaries were way better than those the topiary lady was cutting earlier at DHS. While I was standing there I had a poo encounter. I mean Pooh. He was on his way to the meet and greet outside his ride. We finally made it to the restrooms. The fanciest restroom area I have ever seen in a theme park. We had been through here earlier, but hadn’t had the chance to stop to take it in. So I took pictures. Hard to see, but I totally dig how the stone work on the ground is in the design of the flower thing from Rapunzel. Pretty cool attention to detail. See the bottom of that one? That dude would love some GF hoity toity tea. Supposedly there are a bunch of lizard things around here. We couldn’t find very many. I don’t know if real lizards officially count, but in my book they do. That’s enough lizard pics. At this point we were ready to head out. We decided we needed something to drink first. My first inclination was dole whip. duh. But we decided to stop at Sunshine Tree Terrace instead to mix it up. DW of course had read about some drinks she was interested in. First she was hoping to find some non-alcoholic sangria that at one point was around somewhere in the MK. The problem was she wasn’t sure exactly where. So we asked the CM. She must know, right? So my wife is all, “do you know where they serve non-alcoholic sangria up in this joint?” And the CM is all, “huh?” So my wife is all, “you know, they put fruit and stuff all up in it.” And the CM is all, “huh?” All while this is going on DW is on her phone looking it up. She realizes that they serve it in the Tortuga Tavern (if you can ever catch it when it’s open). So my wife is all, “oh snap, they do that up in the Tortuga Tavern.” And then you know what the CM says? “IS THAT IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM?” epic. fail. How are you going to work as a food CM right around the corner from a place that you don’t know exists? I don’t care that the Tortuga Tavern is rarely even open, how are you not going to know where it is? Obviously this CM had to have been in the college program. But still, fail. I got the piña colada slushy thing. DW got lemonade with some berry foam. And of course the redheads drank most of both of them. They were good though. On the way out we were wandering through the gift shops and I found this: Bam. Happy Anniversary to us. I have to say, I can’t remember the last time I bought a cd. However, I couldn’t pass this up. We have listened to Wishes on the youtube, but the quality is always bad because it’s someone recording the live performance of it. Now I can put on my own Wishes. I’m a big dork, but I don’t even care. BAM! And that’s day 5. Tomorrow is our last full day here. But it’s Father’s Day. And we will get some last minute ADR’s that it turns out we really didn’t need, but it made us excited nonetheless. And I’ll get to settle something I have been wondering about for awhile now. And we’ll get our Epcot on with some old and new food. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We can call ourselves...Fiends Of Genius Having Excellent Adventures During Every Day This will be our official dance :bf-birddancingsmiley: I'm down with the group, but maybe not so much on the dance. You better be using that CD to put on your own fireworks display tomorrow. THAT would be amazing. I don't think there will be any fireworks around here...too much rain! Aren't you under water as well? Their must be a dorks club, because that CD is also in my truck ! BOOM ! Yes!

Annie is definitely in the lead. You are allowed to be a dork........you're a dad. In fact I am going to be a dork around my kids on purpose when they are teenagers. Otherwise, what's the point? Yes, my daughters are not going to be happy with me on many occasions as they get older. Isn't that our goal in life, to embarrass our teenagers :) Absolutely. This TR has just taught me that I am a dork. Dork status has now been acknowledged and embraced. Bang Zoom! That's the first step. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
