I'm Losing it! I'm Losing It! This last trip put me over the edge, I tink.
I have no idea where I am, or where I was, or even who, whom? I was with.
Oh yeah, Smidgy.
Smidgy's all look the same after a while.
( Diane, read the love in my fingers as I type this)
(and, yes dear, I know I put the apostrophe in the wrong place)
And yes dear, I did put the garbage out by the curb, balanced the checkbook, finished unpacking, and picked up Mcdonalds'.
Geesh, she's not even home and still on my case.
Can you tell we've been together a LOT recently?
I love her, she's the greatest!
Ok, it's time to get back to business.
Thanks again all of you for reading and posting, and I'm sorry if I didn't get to you earlier.
Also, I'm really not trying to do a "cliffhanger" thing on this last trip, but I've got a friend developing the pictures pretty darn cheap and it will take a bit of time. And I can't do any justice without the evidence! So, as my good buddy Kevin said, you're gettin the wattered down version of the may trip tonight.
Ahem, Kevin? I prefer to refer to them as "highlights", do you concur? For sure.
Our last two days there were spent again at MK and Epcot. It seems we always end a trip with a day at Epcot. Now, bear with me here, and really look at what you are about to see. This is very impotent because it just took me a half hour to find these photos in my albums on Photobucket.
SO you Vill enjoy Dem!
Oh, ha ha ha, anudder nebo typo, nope, you're not gettin me on this one.
IMPORTANT.
You see it's like this: Either last year or the year before we were also there in may, and I took a picture, which, ahem, I think is the prettiest picture you will ever see of Epcot.
So this trip, I remembered that photo, and tried to see if I could reproduce it, but not knowing exactly where I was when I took the original.
Are you with me Dismorgh? (I've got my eye on you)
So, here's the original, during the flower and garden festival.
Please, hold the applause.
hmm, that title looked a little funny, hope it comes through all right.
Anyway, this is the picture that I took trying to mimic the other, as you can see, I missed the spot by a tad.
And there you have it. You tell me, there's no substitute for the original, is there? You choose.
I've got to tell you another great pasttime.
You leave AK at 8:30, get back to Coranado Springs and make a "walkin drink", then you, if you're not already there, head over to the Casita's section. This is then followed up with a stop in the Jacuzzi, on the way back to the room.
Man, that is the best it ever gets!
Especially when some sorority girls are there skinny dipping.
Don't believe me?
I've got pictures, here, I'll even show you.
HuH? What? Not what you expected? Hey, I didn't say that I SAW them skinny dippin, just that it would be the best. Now that picture, for me, is the best.
Now comes the scary one: not one of my better photos:
And we'll follow that up with a generic one: traditional, if you will.
And I think you have them all, that's it for the CS photos. Except for one disgusting one that my lovely wife took of me when I was trying to relax by the pool. You'll have to bribe me to see that one. And furthermore,,,,,,,,
Crap! Crap crap crap! I can't take it. I have to break off into something I learned this trip, that I mentioned in a call out.
In the past, I have twisted an ankle, messed up my back, and even once sent a poor little Japanese man into a wall, trying to make a fast pass time.
Shoot, I even once dropped my Sunny D on the way.
(Yes, I went back and picked it up, geesh)
But all for NAUGHT!
We tried this 5 times on this trip. Space mountain, EE, SPlash Mountain, TOT, and Soarin. My fastpass for Space Mountain was for 10:15 till 11:15, we used it at six o'clock that night. All the other fastpasses were used hours after the "window" had elapsed.
Trust me, this is handy stuffage to know, and really works great on "split" days in the park. Get the fastpass in the morning, first thing, then two hours later after that, get another one. Do whatcha wanna do, then go back to the resort, and when you return, and fastpasses are all out? And the stand by line says 50 minutes, Bingo! Now you can cash in your fastpasses!
Thank you, thank you, again, hold the applause.
I will have you know, that I got greedy. I'm sorry, I just had to try. You know me, it's my nature to make a fool of myself.
I tried to use a two day old fastpass.
Uh uh, didn't work on Soarin.
But everyone of them that we used were inspected, and not once were turned away for the fp's after the time had elapsed.
Just remember, you didn't here this hear.
(I can't wait to see who yells at me first on something I typed up above.)
You know, one thing I was finally able to decipher in my head, is what my favorite resorts are. This last trip helped me make that decision.
We are Moderate people. No, I won't turn down a stay at the Poly or GF if it was affordable, but I like staying in the Casita's the best at Coranado. Second would be French Quarter, and third would be the mansion section of Riverside.
Anyway, like I said, some of our best times were had just walking around the resort.
By the way, for the record, I have said, and always said, that Epcot is my favorite park. No longer.
Unbelievably, it's now MK.
I love getting to MK for E entry, and then trying to see how much we can knock off. For some reason, the rides there just don't get old, no matter how many times you ride them. And besides, late at night, after Wishes, the bus rides are the best.
Let me explain.
The next day, thursday, may 17th, we did all that at MK. And then went back at night for specto and wishes. You know Spectro:
Funny thing was, when we got dressed that night to go back, I looked at her and said:
"Um, excuse me, you're not wearing that to the park tonight, are you?"
her: "Excuse you! You just saw me change, and yes , I am wearing this to the park tonight."
me: "Oh, ok, just wondering. "
her: "Oh no! You're not getting off that easy. What's the problem?"
me: "Uh, it's just that we look alike, that's all, we both have back shorts and black tank tops on. It looks funny. "
Well, we went to the park "lookin funny" . Diane just loved it. At a smoking area, she got a woman to take our picture.
And there you have it.

I'm scared to death to see if all this goes through tonight, so I'm gonna end it here. goodnight everyone, hugs
