Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted November 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 The Post In Which A Camera Takes An Unexpected Expedition & Busman Gets A Shout OutFinally IH is on vacation. I look up the best park of the day in my nifty Touring Plans app and we are off to AK. I finally get to take my first ride on Everest. Strangely my camera also took an expedition but not with me.First up we rode the Kali River Rapids. All I can say is that poor poor women. She got wet at every opportunity. She was facing downward, laughing at all us saps who were gonna get wet next, when suddenly the raft did a 180 and she got it again. We had a few splashes barely even a drop...Then we separated. I had a long held desire to ride the rails at Everest and the IKs dragged the IH off to Dinoland for dino dumbo and Primeval Whirl. Somewhere between the above picture and the below picture my camera took it's own adventure.Here is me on the ride but my camera is still missing....I loved Everest. It was awesome. One last picture before we headed back to the Fort...You know how a certain busman is always telling us to stay off the buses. I had one day in which I had to agree with him. I believe it was this day.We walked out to find a bus just arriving in the precious FW & WL spot. We started to hurry then noticed that the sign went dark. We also noticed the dude that didn't get on the bus. Our precious transport had gone out of service. Oh, well. It happens. So we wait for the next bus. Then it happens. The Driver Exchange Program. We were privy to this often, almost daily, during our trip. So we wait patiently and it took between 5-10 minutes, finally we are off. Earlier in the day we had hit Blizzard Beach prior to being dropped off at AK, so I didn't expect to have to see it after AK. I was wrong. We picked up a few people and headed to WL. Almost the entire bus departs here as does the driver. He keeps getting on the bus looking at something near the steering wheel, getting off and repeat about 3-4 times. Eventually his curiosity is satisfied and we head to the Fort. Upon arrival we once again hit the Driver Exchange Program for Fort buses. From the time we headed out the exit gates at AK to arrival at our site, it took between one hour and 1.5 hours.Next Up the Bon Voyage Party.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I am a reformed planner. i now subscribe to the TCD & Lou method.....Our first trips to the Fort were planned meticulously via my handy dandy spreadsheets. Then I slowly moved away from the planning and just went with the flow. However, I'm back to the spreadsheets for our upcoming trip, mainly for budgetary purposes. Am planning a bunch of crockpot meals for the camper. I found that we ate out a lot more without planning, which is great and all, except we need to stick to more of a budget this trip, especially being 2 weeks. I'd go broke feeding 7 people at Disney for 2 weeks without a plan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TnBob 311 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 It is much much better to eat at the camper anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then everyone didn't sign up for the events using the DDP. I cancelled the DDP, kept our favorite ADRs, and we ate at home if it were available or in the parks QS if needed. Worked beautiful and saved us a bunch of moolah but you have lots more kiddos than us too so I can see the need for planning the meals Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Are you ready for an update? Tough you are getting one anyway - ATTENTION GENIA... ATTENTION GENIAIt's the Bon Voyage/I can't believe you are leaving me Party -Can anyone explain why we all love this guy? For the record, though I tried, I never once saw Bob on his dock with or without a fishing pole.... we may have rename that dock.After seeing Carol's TR I expected to find only pics of Carol behind a camera... I was wrong.This picture should in theory make Genia happy. She has been begging me to get a picture of someone's butt for months. Well Genia, I finally complied with your request.......Kathy with a butt shot of TJLorna's gonna kill me -Sweet Thang Rainbow Gas GalNow Doodle's gonna kill me -Bob Talking Again -The One In Which I Meet The Mayor -Rita Wants To Kill Me (did you know there is a photo taking protocol?)Don't listen to Ed... she's a sweetie pieMacho Grumpy & Another Sweet One -Is Sheila still sulking over loosing the Candy War? Rita I keep forgetting the protocol...There... is this better?Trouble .... has to be...Please tells us what was so funny....\Later in the night we moved over to Bob's for some of Kathy's Coffee but the camera was put away for this one. This was the night of the not so CCintriguing, not so street walking, not lengthy meeting of TCD. I was standing out in the street talking about fulltiming when up walks a very familiar dude. We said hi, exchanged a few words, he walked to say hi at Bob's site and I continued my conversation. The End.... the other version sounded better..... yes, I am pouting.There we have it.... They left us all alone in party loop central.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 November 4, 2012This next update is a bit of a fail. In order to forget about everyone leaving we hit the parks. Two people, two cameras, one clue.....This is the only clue I have as to which park we went to....I am guessing this was in One Man's dream. We finally check it out, on Carol's recommendation, while waiting on our TSM fastpasses.We also have a bit of a family park problem at DHS. I may have mentioned it before but just in case...I can't ride Star Tours and the rest of the family loves it. I love TOT and like RRC but the rest of my family ... Well ID, who is 8, did ride TOT. She didn't even squeak and said she liked it but she wouldn't get back on it. IS, well after a ride with a small drop (Primeval Whirl), I had to remind him to breathe. He literally turned WHITE! IH will ride them if the family does but he prefers ST or TSM or Buzzlightyear space ranger spin. So the plan was always, I take the APs get the FP for TSM then ride TOT and RCC at least once. IH, IS, ID head to ST ride repeatedly until the wait line gets too long. Head over to the Muppets, which once again I can't watch and then we meet up to ride TSM or eat.The only other pic I have from the day is of coming home to find someone sight looking like this -Also this was the start of the TAC Walt Disney World Fort Wilderness Rally. Eighteen months of of planning, Disney canceling things we hoped to do, cajoling rally participants to make ADRs ASAP, being ignored, and spreadsheet watching finally come down to this one day. Ok to be fair the rally took up exactly two evenings of the entire week. This the meet and greet night, which ended with us watching the fireworks from Clementine Beach and a really cold dark bike ride back to the 900 loop. The second was an impromptu happy hour/dinner feast in the 300 loop. I suppose the rally was successful enough as some would like to have it every year. However, since I don't own an Airstream anymore I declined to host it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
