We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. Lou doesn't have a bald spot any more!

I love pictures of the bins and wall of Mickeys from the Emporium. I'm glad you're writing us a report!

Thanks. But isn't there something a little unsettling about the way the Mickeys and Minnies are all squished in? Like they're being tortured?

Ahh, Kenny, a very unique individual.

That's a very unique way to put it :)

I thought so too.

But at least you always get great service and leave with a smile on your face!

Have had dinner at TE a couple times, but never breakfast. I really need to correct that on our next trip.

Yes, you do!

Ahhh, much better with pictures! And who doesn't love bacon?! :jumpforjoy

Sorry about the picture situation. I've never had this much trouble with Photobucket!

Saturday, March 3 -- Part 2

And then we moved on to the WS. The Flower and Garden Festival was being set up, so you will see pics of it scattered throughout. I've taken and also posted sooooo many pics of WS in the past that I'll trim them down this time!

Norway was our first stop.

We visited the chapel … had never been there!

And then skipped China, except for taking a few photos. We would visit there later.

Saturday, March 3 -- Part 3

Then we walked around to Germany

I took this picture especially for Dave:

We moved on to Italy

These ladies were hilarious:

A few pics around American Adventure, which we will visit again later

And then on to Morocco

This next photo was taken inside the Moroccan museum -- another first!

We stopped to split an order of shrimp at the Refreshment Port and I forgot to take photos of the food, but it was good.

On our way out of EPCOT we stopped into MouseGear … my favorite place to shop in all the World … and David surprised me with this gift:

He said he just had to buy her because she reminded him of me. Umm, what does that mean? More on that later.

Enjoying it Gwen! I have never been inside the Norway chapel either.

Keep it coming :popcorn:

Thanks, Stefa. We spent part of this trip trying to find odd little nooks and crannies that we had previously overlooked. It was amazing all the new things we saw!

When someone tells us we can't do something-we just say-oh, okay. then just continue on like we never heard them. :rofl2:

Our trailer is on our site if we can fit it. Great tr so far. Now you have me wanting a taco salad at mk... thanks a lot! :)

The crowd level looks like it is low and just the way I like it. More please.....

I could handle a taco salad now too. The crowd level wasn't too bad that day ... but it gets much, much worse quickly!

Much more to come, but I have to edit photos so it will be awhile.

Sunday, March 4 – Is Kassie Okay? -- Part 1

90 yesterday and 41 predicted tonight! Woke up to wind and rain.

Kassie was acting funny … when she is feeling bad, she has a habit of walking strangely all around David's pillow ... double dosed her on the seizure meds and that seemed to calm her down.

Cooked breakfast, charged up DeeDee.

After we were satisfied that Kassie was okay we went to DHS … bag check was no fun. This is just part of the line:

We visited Animation Academy -- another first.

20120304AnimationAcademy1.jpg

I’m embarrassed with my drawing of Ray, considering I majored in art in college … David did as well as me, and in all the years I've known him he's never drawn anything!

Well, let me tell you ... they give you lousy drawing pencils with no erasers! Phooey on them!

20120304AnimationAcademy2.jpg

We then went to Beauty and the Beast, another first:

And on to see the Muppets (it’s been a long time):

Can you tell David wasn't too happy with me taking his picture?

Sunday, March 4 – Is Kassie Okay? -- Part 2

Went to ToT and saw the antique-filled lobby (I am deathly afraid of elevators and refuse to ride it):

Had lunch at 50’s Prime Time … I was scolded for having my elbows on the table and made to do my chores … after splitting the fried chicken (4 pieces with two veggies) we got applause for cleaning our plates and then had dessert. Carole was our server, and she was great! She says she is on YouTube.

David’s Dad’s Brownie Sundae:

20120304Dadssundaeat50sprimetime.jpg

I tasted it -- was very good!

And my sugar free cheesecake (delicious!):

20120304Sugarfreecheesecakeat50sprimetime.jpg

After lunch we briefly visited One Man's Dream ... a favorite of David's. W'd be back for a longer visit later.

Went back to Dolly late afternoon, cooked dinner, and crashed. David was tired and wouldn’t go back out. I needed to quit worrying about how many days before we have to leave! After all, our vacation was just getting started!

What would the weather be like tomorrow? Would it impact our visit?

Holy cow! That's a heck of a bag check line.

Tell David that he looks cute in his 3D glasses, especially with his real ones underneath. :)

I do the same thing about counting my vacation days. Full-on pout starts about 2 days before check-out.

Wonderful updates Gwen!!!

One thing I do when the interwebz is giving me troubles, is start my TR in Word, copying the links in there, then removing hyperlinks, then copy the entire post into fortfiends. I don't lose anything that way!

Thanks, Carol. I've been doing the TR in Word but not inserting the photos until I get here. I'll try your way next time.

And the lines only got worse with time ...

David would kill me if he knew I posted that pic ...

My full-on pout started about a week before check-out this time. It took so much to get there that I never wanted to leave.

BTW, I finished up part 2 after you both posted. Sorry about that!

Okey dokey, I'm all caught up. :yay:

Your pictures are wonderful! I love the shots of WS, particularly the topiaries. Why the dislike for Snow White, Dave? Is there some horrible event in your past to cause such a nasty reaction to this sweet, young girl who is kind to the animals? ::)

This is twice now I've heard about 50's Prime Time. I'm taking it as a sign to go there next trip. Your desserts look yummy...

Waiting patiently for the next update....
