Travisma 1,317 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm sure he has "people" scanning the mediaverse for any mention of his name. If it's interesting enough it probably gets shown to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Millermouseketeers MaryAnn 150 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Wow amazing! It's funny I wasn't offered any of the food from the trucks as I was staring over their little fence. After all I was one of the "settlers." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 OK now I am really sorry to have been away for so long. Am half way through this thread aka page 16, but had to stop to say WOW!I wonder how else they spend money and what charities they help along the way. Maybe the rest of the story will tell me lol We live close enough to WDW to hear the fireworks and this explains the looooooong one after all the parks had finished theirs. I had a really lame 4th watching PBS from D.C. but did score an ice cream cone at Twistees. Sure wish I had been here, I'd have tried to crash the Fort, but it's hard to get in there on the 4th. Back to reading as soon as I fix dinner for the DH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I can be entertained for a lot less than that.I wholeheartedly agree. Just give me a cooler with some beers, a fishing rod, bait, a comfy chair by the water and I am fully taken care of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fladogfan aka Gretchen 259 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 FINISHED IT!! :) So maybe I'm mistaken and it wasn't on the 4th of July but the 5th. But still remember hearing loud, loooooong and late fireworks that weekend. Thanks for all the videos and photos and reports live from the scene. TCD good for you telling the rent-a-cop "NO" ! Loved that :rofl3:To Mo, Jason and all the rest of you posters big thanks. You made me laugh out loud!!!!I'm a fireworks junky also, even just hearing them is a treat.

It was on the 5th and considering where you live, not only should you have heard them, you should have felt them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
