Okay, I know I haven't been updating, but at least I'm (sort of) keeping up with everyone else's reports.
So, I left off on the bus to MK. We arrived at 11:00 and rode POC with a five minute wait. Next up was HM with no wait. Love, love, love HM and POC!! On our way for lunch, we rode IASW. I don't know why, because we don't really like that ride, but there was no wait and we were a bit early for our lunch time at BOG.
Lunch was great as usual. Sorry no pics of any of this. We really didn't take a lot of pics this trip. We have sooo many of all our other trips and we were just busy enjoying the moment the entire trip.
Next up was the people mover, another favorite. Then Carousel of Progress. Nice power nap for Dan. COP is one of my all time favorites. Guess I love most everything at MK! After that we did Space Ranger Spin. Posted 15 min wait, actual was 8 minutes. I did terrible as usual, but I just love trying! Dan is always good!
Time for a hike across the park to BTMR to use our FP. We got right on with the FP, which was not always the case as we found out later. Next up was Splash. Sooo happy to ride this one!! We had a FP, which was a good thing since the stand-by line was huge! It was very hot and it actually started sprinkling while we were on the ride, but didn't last long.
Our next FP was for the Mine Train, so we opted to ride the Railroad to Fantasyland. Had we known it would take 25 minutes to get a train, we would probably have skipped it and walked over. Once there, we had some time to kill, so we ducked into the Circus store there and I bought a pin of the Genie in memory of Robin Williams. Then on to the Mine Train ride, which I loved!!
By now, we figured our luggage would be in our room (4:00) and we wanted to get back to our room and unpack and relax before our first ever DIS meet!! Sooo excited! On our way out of MK, we stopped to listen to the philharmonic band and to browse the shops (well, I browsed, Dan just sort of tolerated it. lol). On to the bus stop and after only a 10 minute wait, we were on a bus headed back to Pop, arriving around 5:00.
After only a 5 minute wait for a bus to DTD, we were on our way for dinner at Raglan Road and meeting Tess and Charlie! Since there's only one bus stop at DTD now, we had to hot foot it over for our meet and made it just at 7:00. Found Tess right away and I was sooo excited!!
Don't know why I felt the need to crouch down for this shot, but there I am. And as we all know, if there isn't a picture, it didn't happen!
We had a great meal and wonderful conversation. It's like we'd known each other IRL forever. Charlie is adorable and he and Dan hit it off as well. We also enjoyed the entertainment of Irish dancers. They were very talented! We parted company around 9:15 and Dan and I headed for the bus stop. Our bus was there and waiting, so we were back to our hotel by 9:45. It had been a long but extremely fun day!!

Condo update: We finally installed the upper cabinets last night! They look so pretty! It had been so long since we'd ordered them, I'd forgotten how pretty they were. And the doors are soft close, which I didn't realize they would be. I knew the soft close drawers were free because of a promotion when we ordered them, but the doors were an added bonus. Yay!
My he-man! lol
I have applied odor blocking Kilz to everything that needed it. Which was A LOT!!! I have cleaned every surface in the entire place except the dining room and living room since the cabinets and appliances have been stored in them and I couldn't get to them. I have painted one bedroom and most of the doors. Dan installed a new service door for the garage and repaired the kitchen wall instead of replaced it and it looks amazing! He has mad skills!
Our carpet estimate came in almost $2,000 less than we had budgeted, so that will almost pay for the new windows, since there's only 6 of them. Woot!!!
Okay, enough for now. I'm sorry this is so sporadic. Even as I type, I know I should have been doing something else
.don't we all feel that way?
Have a great day everyone!
