CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Wow. Last night was not fun. Glad it's over. Here are a few random shots from Disney Springs: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Thursday, 9/22: RealFeel today was 103. Again, it was hot, hot, hot! Again we went to the Magic Kingdom. Rode Buzz (I beat David for a change!), PeopleMover, PoTC, and saw Philharmagic. We also saw the Festival of Fantasy parade, but I wasn't in a good spot for great pictures. I did get some decent shots in PoTC that I'd like to share with you. While waiting for the FoF parade I saw this guy. That must be one heavy hat! Like I said, I wasn't in a good spot for parade photos. I was too close to the floats. We came home, went looping for awhile, and then went to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. Around 9pm the power went out all over the fort. It came home about midnight. It was hot.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Friday, 9/23: Today after I cooked breakfast we went to DHS. Had a FP+ for TSMM and used it. Then the park was so crowded that we left. We drove over to Old Key West because we'd never seen it before. We were both underwhelmed. Just didn't like anything about it. David had wanted to go to World of Disney, so we drove over there. Had lunch at D-Luxe Burger, where we split a burger and fries. Then came home and went looping with NaCole, Simon, and her children. I hope tonight is quiet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope tonight is cool for you and the rest of the fort. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David liked it too. Before we went there, he was complaining about the lack of meat. I told him if he wasn't full he could stop at McDonald's on the corner on the way out. He didn't stop. I just hope the power stays on tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Saturday, 9/24: This morning we went out to breakfast offsite and then went to EPCOT. Touringplans.com said EPCOT would be a 3. We knew that wouldn't be true. We visited the Seas and then Journey into Imagination. At 11:00 Journey had a 20 minute standby! Yep, the park is a 3 ... right ... We decided to venture out into WS but only got as far as McDonald's. The crowd was so heavy that I could barely maneuver my ECV through it. We turned around and left. Then we decided to resort hop. We went to All Stars because neither of us had ever seen them. Next up was Art of Animation, then Pop Century. We have now seen all the resorts. We got back to the Fort and went to TE to refill our mugs. When we got back NaCole's daughter had noticed we went out on the golf cart without her, and she wasn't happy ... she is so sweet. Seriously, her kids are so smart, so well-mannered, so lovable. We took them out later for a brief cart ride. After cooking dinner I collapsed. I've done too much walking and standing the past few days, and I can't get my pain levels under control.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Sunday, 9/25: Another MK day. Finally I was able to get a photo of the castle with the crane in position so that I could Photoshop it out: We visited a few attractions. The park was really crowded. We spent most of our time just walking around and soaking in the atmosphere. We got hot dogs and fries at Casey's. I had their version of the Southern Smothered Hot Dog -- not quite as good as the one at the Meadow pool. We came back to the Fort right after lunch. It was another really hot day. Too hot to stay in the park in the afternoon sun. Went looping with NaCole, Simon, and her children again to cool off. I cooked dinner, and we called it an evening.

Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'm surprised that Touring Plans said Epcot would be a three on a Saturday during F&W. Josh at Easywdw had the crowd level for WDW at 7 with Epcot being "Not Recommended". His only recommended park that day was DHS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I was surprised too. Now they say the crowd was 6. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Today ended up being a fort day. We went out to breakfast this morning, visited the Disney outlet again, made our yearly trip to Camping World, bought groceries, etc. We planned to go over to Animal Kingdom when we got back. And then it started thundering. I suggested that we hold off on leaving for awhile to see what the weather would do. Soon it started pouring rain. And the thunder and lightning intensified. So we stayed in and decided to go to the Magic Kingdom later. Meanwhile we had lunch about 5:00 and as we were finishing Gretchen and Bill came by for a visit. The rain had stopped. So after they left we packed up and started out the door to leave for MK, and it started raining again. It's been raining off and on for an hour, and David wants to be back in time to watch the presidential debate, so we're staying in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Tuesday, 9/27: I have given up on posting pictures while we're here. The last few days, I can only get Photobucket to cooperate around 5am. Too early while I'm on vacation! Today we went to EPCOT to have lunch at Biergarten. I really like it there, David not as much. He thinks it's too expensive for what they serve. What can I say? It's Disney. We watched a performance by Voices of Liberty. They have quite a few new people in their group but were as good as always. Then when we left a thunderstorm started. We waited for quite awhile for the rain to slack up. Then we did something we haven't done in 30+ years. We watched Impressions de France. It was really good. Don't know if it's the original film or whether it's been updated. Got back to the Fort in time for David to blow off the top of the motorhome before dark. He has to do it about once a week because of all the droppings from the trees. Am getting sad. One week from now we'll be packing to go home. It seems like we just got here. I know we are incredibly blessed to spend a month at the Fort. But it's never enough time. In the next week we'll be trying to cram in everything on our to do list that we haven't had time for yet. I big wish is that one day we can stay at the Fort long enough to get tired of it. Maybe winter here. Good evening, all. Mikeypro 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
