Finally, first page bragging rights!   Glad nothing was lost out the back.  That would have been horrifying.

:)     Rick is not a huge camper, and this is the longest time he's spent in the camper (by about double), so one of the first things he said to me when I told him the dates of our trip was "you want

Finally getting to this update. Didn't realize I hadn't uploaded the pictures for today yet.

 

Tuesday, November 5th.

 

Today starts with riding the cart up to Outpost to go offsite to the store.

On our way back from Wal-Mart noticed this sign was finally finished

After dropping the groceries off, we went to Epcot

Then we took a ride on Test Track. We had FP+, but still had a fairly long wait, Rick was NOT happy about designing the cars. Our mood for the rest of the day was only so/so, but to continue on

I drove past this sign again yesterday. The "signage" is gone, but the actual structure looks a bit more finished and landscaped now. There was a guy on a ladder doing something. So that was clearly temporary.

Why was Rick not happy designing cars?  Because of the time it took, or was there another reason?

That's weird.

 

They've been working on this project for years, and then they finally open, but the sign wasn't ready?  What's up with that?

New "Fancy 3-D" lettering is on it today.

The time it took. He just thought it was dumb.

 

Well, Rick is right!  I hate that too.

 

I liked it better when FP+ guests got to skip the design room. They still had a few kiosks in the FP queue for anyone who really wanted to design a car.   Everyone else could proceed right past the design room, which really saved a lot of time.

 

Now, even with a FP+,  you're going to spend a good 15 minutes in the queue, and maybe longer.

 

But, the funny thing is that my girls like the design room, and don't mind having to stop there.

We've designed a car once.  That's enough for me.

Finally caught up....great report...thanks!

As much as I love hitting the World with my boys, I am looking forward to the opportunity to just "wander" around with my husband. We honeymooned there many years ago I think it will be fun to just be there and see the things we pass right by with kids in tow.

Love the pictures of the gatherings. Hopefully one day I'll be able to attend one!

Continuing on,

 

For some reason, we were at Wilderness Lodge.  Maybe we took the pathway, not really sure.

We also went to DTD this morning. I wanted some new t-shirts to wear as camping pajamas. I've had customized t-shirts with the camper name on them since the t-shirt shop opened.  However, we had a HUGE difficulty getting the name approved this time. They apparently recently changed the rules.  It took a couple of managers, but finally got the go ahead.

Now, here we are at dinner at Tony's. We played musical tables here. First we were seated in a corner near the kitchen, then they put us out on the porch, which would have been fine, but we were getting cold, so we moved once again
