I'm late, but I'm here! Am I the only one who think Innoventions is silly? It just seems like there's nothing of interest in there anymore. Maybe if I had little ones, I'd feel differently? I bet you

Continuing on, still strolling around the resort

I'm sure somewhere in the morning we had breakfast at the Food Court and just chilled out.

We then decided to head to Magic Kingdom.

We got one of the new buses with the new tie down systems. Kinda neat

IMG_1680.jpg

Then we arrived at Magic Kingdom.... Only one word to say about the place... CROWDED!!!!!

We decided to go monorail resort bar hoppin!

We ended up having our drink at the "Wave". I forgot to take a picture :(

Our next stop was the Poly. Rick decided it was nap time, so he stayed on the monorail back to MK and headed back to All-Stars

More coming soon!

Well folks, I have a few minutes to continue. I'm sorry bout not responding to individual comments, but if I want to get this thing finished before Defeated Creek, there is just not time.

As ya'll guessed, YES we are heading to the Fort!! It's Auburn Football Saturday, and no way I'm gonna miss watching the game with my favorite Auburn Fiends!!!!!!

Rick actually went back to our room to pick up some drinks for us, and headed straight for the Fort and the 1300 Loop where Jen and Lorna and TJ were set up!

I'm greeted by this smiling face!!

IMG_1622.jpg

Lots of Fiends hangin out!!

IMG_1623.jpg

WAR EAGLE!!

IMG_1624.jpg

The game was rather disappointing, but here are Fiends doing what they do best, Eating and running their mouths!!!

After the wonderful dinner and laughs it was past my bedtime. TJ was kind enough to give us a ride back to our resort.

Nighty Night!!!!

It was a great night and such a nice surprise to have not only Carol and Rick join us, which I didn't know they were coming, but the night before I ran into Dan Bishop and His lovey Wife and there new dog. They joined us for dinner, it was so nice spending time with them, great to see you Dan

I finally have time to add to and possibly finish this report soon!!!!!

As I said before, my next stop was the Poly!!

IMG_1841.jpg

My drink this time, a Pina Colava

IMG_1843.jpg

Wandering the grounds

Since Rick left me the scooter, I decided to take the walkway between the Poly and Grand Floridian

IMG_1853.jpg

IMG_1854.jpg

IMG_1855.jpg

It looks like there is a wedding about to happen

IMG_1856.jpg

IMG_1858.jpg

Some Grand Flo construction

IMG_1861.jpg

IMG_1863.jpg

IMG_1864.jpg

It was time for a late lunch, by the time I arrived at the Grand Flo. So I stopped at Gasparilla Games, grabbed some food and sat outside and just chilled for awhile

IMG_1866.jpg

The wedding carriage came by again

IMG_1867.jpg

I didn't have a drink at the Grand Flo, was actually just not in the mood for any more.

Back at the bus stop at the MK to go meet Rick

After I went back to All-Stars and met up with Rick and relaxed for a bit, we headed back out to Magic Kingdom for dinner at Crystal Palace!!

During dinner, things got a little weird. Rick was having a bit of a sugar low, we got some Orange Juice, and a couple of deserts for him, but it didn't get better as quickly as normal. So we went next door to First Aid.

They checked him out and even recommended calling the EMTs. We hung out there for a little bit, and he did eventually feel better.

We were supposed to wander the park with TJ and Missy, and they did drop by. This is where he got the Where in the World Pics.

IMG_1902.jpg

These are drawings by Walt Disney himself, so they say.

The good news is that Rick has visited his doctor since our visit, and after seeing the EKG results that the EMTs had given us, and some new blood work, and the weight loss Rick has had, they adjusted some of his meds DOWN!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

After leaving the First Aid place, we swam upstream and got out of the park before the parade and headed back to the resort early and called it a night.

Nighty Night!!!

First of all, I'm glad Rick is feeling better. He looks awesome and I know he is feeling better since the weight loss!

Sorry that he didn't feel well at Crystal Palace though. :(

You packed a lot of fun into your weekend, thanks for sharing it with us! I love the MK at night!

Now waiting for the end, sad to see it coming though.

The next morning, I went back over to the Fort to spend a little bit of Fiend time, and also to help Chris & Jen get more site pictures. We thought we only had a few left, but some got lost or corrupted. Since there is usually a Mass Exodus on Labor Day morning, we thought it would be a good time, and it was!! Chris and I got a good majority of what was missing, and hopefully the list is back down to just a few left.

I took the first park bus that showed up, which turned out to be an Epcot bus, I think, then transferred over to a Fort bus.

As I was waiting on the bus to the 1300 Loop, I saw this construction fence up at the Outpost.

IMG_1903.jpg

IMG_1906.jpg

As we were hanging out around the Fort, we saw this HUGE spider

IMG_1911.jpg

Rick finally got himself going, and I passed my hugs out, and met him over at the Studios

After leaving Great Movie Ride, we wandered the park

I'm glad we wandered New York Street, cause right after our trip, they started pulling out the Christmas Displays

IMG_2041.jpg

IMG_2043.jpg

IMG_2044.jpg

IMG_2046.jpg

We were hoping to pick up something from High Octane Refreshments, but they were still closed

IMG_2047.jpg

We did take a spin on Toy Story Mania.

IMG_2048.jpg

We had plans to have dinner with Lorna and Rich this evening at Planet Hollywood

So we wandered Downtown Disney some

IMG_2066.jpg

IMG_2067.jpg

Too bad we were about to eat, this looked yummy

IMG_2070.jpg

Jenny has seen better days, she looks like she sunk (I'm guessing this water is not very deep)

IMG_2071.jpg

IMG_2073.jpg

Great friends and an awesome weekend!!

IMG_2076.jpg

After dinner we wandered World of Disney for a bit, then back to the hotel.

Tuesday morning, I had an early flight up to the Virginia area and Rick drove home.

Until next time, thanks for readin!!!!
