mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Oh, one comment, on the boat ride from the Fort to MK, I overheard somebody reading the back of my Fiends sweatshirt, and they all now have Fort Fiends Cards!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 More fireworks pics for your viewing pleasure (or pain)FYI, to get these, I found a post sticking up in the sand, and sat the camera on top. Couldn't angle it the way I wanted without a tripod. Also, I just had it on auto without a flash. I'm thinking I may have to find a different setting.And that's it for the fireworks. Had to quit half way through cause it was starting to sprinkle, so had to hide the camera under my sweatshirt. Didn't want a paperweight on my hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 After leaving the Poly, we took the boat to the MK, then got on a VERY crowded boat back to the Fort. We were pleased to report for Linda (Grumpy and Grandma) that there is an accessible path from the monorail all the way to a wide concrete walkway right on the beach, so she could very easily see the fireworks from the Poly beach!!We got to the Fort, and gathered under Doodle's awning for more conversation, and Toasted Almonds!!!!As you have probably figured out, Lorna and Rich DID stay the extra night, and I slept on the couch again. I felt bad for having to move this sweet fellow. I just picked him up blanket and all and moved him to Rich's chair.Nighty Night!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 What is it with Lorna trying to kill fiends with electricity?! And why is Mike raising his hand in the Poly lawn chair? Did he have to go potty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 What is it with Lorna trying to kill fiends with electricity?! And why is Mike raising his hand in the Poly lawn chair? Did he have to go potty?I'm thinking it was the after effects from the electric shock.Your fireworks pictures came out pretty good, Carol.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 OK, lets finish this one up.Monday, February 6, 2012Once again awake fairly early, get online, head for the comfort station, then load all my stuff in the truck.Then I head out on the cart one last time. Stop by and say my goodbye's to Fiends around the campground.The only picture I get is this.A Six Seater Fort Golf CartThen I head back to Lorna's site and say my goodbye's to Lorna, Rich, Doodle, and Mike, then hop in the truck and head on.I stop by Downtown Disney, cause I wanted some Earl of Sandwich for the road.A few picsAnother Volcano under refurb....... Is there only one volcano refurb company in town and Disney got them to work on all their volcanos at once :rofl2:World of Disney, was hunting for a Mickey Camera Strap for the new cameraBasin behind construction wallsIn line at Earl of SandwichAnd that my dear Fiends is all!! I hopped back in the truck, filled up at the Hess Station by the Boardwalk, then put the cruise on 75-76 and headed home.I got even better gas mileage on the way home, and reached the house at 9pm Central (Left Downtown Disney about 11:30 am Eastern). Only had a minor slowdown in Atlanta on I-20.I figured out something. I have 180 miles of my trip in Alabama, right at 300 miles in Georgia, and almost exactly 200 miles in Florida.Thanks so much to all the gracious Fiends that let me crash at their place, fed me, gave me drinks, and let me use their golf cart!!Most of all thanks for giving me the stress free weekend I needed to get through this next week of work!!I LOVE you all!!!!Until next time!!
