Yesterday with Matterhorn Fan & Flippyshark was just the best day I've had at a theme park for years. We went on my First ride of the trip (Expedition Everest) and I got off the ride shaking from excitement !!! What a marvellous triumph of imagineering that one is !

The rest of the day became a whirlwind - we went on Dinosaur! and Primeval Hurl (where my body-weight gave MF an extra-spinny ride). Then on to EPCOT for some Nemo excitement, and then....

Then....... Beverly my Beverly, how I love you my sweet Beverly...... I was in Bev-heaven.

I'm working out how to get a hidden 5 quart backpack connected via tube concealed in my sleeve down to a tiny cup in my hand..... a few hours of button pressing and I'd be made. Either that, or emigrate to Italy.

After that, we planned to see a really cool show in the Imagination pavilion, just after the Figment ride...

Stoat, MF & I were on the way into the pavilion, when we were stopped by the Dream Team just inside the entrance and given Year Of A Thousand Dreams Pin Lanyards. They have two exclusive pins on them, and we were just chuffed out of our skins to get them. See - wishes really DO come true !!!!! The ride and the show after were really good and lots of fun. I love science.

We then ran MF around World Showcase, then (forgetting Mission Space & Soarin' were there.... Oops) we went over to MGM for some original HTH action and some Rockn Rollercoaster starring Aerosmith (I really did know the name of the band,..... really...) and NOT the Red Hot Capsicums or whatever they're called.

I ould have gone on until 11:00 pm but we had to let MF go, as I tend to forget that other people have to work when I'm on Holidays.... call it vacation adrenaline or whatever you like, but I'm off and away, and I usually even forget to eat (which I pay for by getting sudden hypo's. We're remembering to make me eat regularly now, and I'm getting into more of a routine.

Then, after a long nights sleep we met HTHBellcaptain today ! What an amazing guy - we got a fantastic tour of the tower and had all of our questions (sorry there were so many) that we ever dared to ask answered - It was our own little Dream Come True™ :o) I can't thank him enough, but I feel we might have to drop some Vegemite in for him tomorrow......

Tomorrow we will probably be going to MGM, EPCOT and Magic Kingdom again (maybe not in that order - Park Closing at Magic Kingdom is a little hectic getting to your car - thanks for the heads up, MF)

Photos coming soon.

Cheers,
Rob.

I swear, I only get jealous of WDW vacations when people talk about getting the tour with MF, Flippy, and HTH. One day, kiddos.

Does that mean you experienced the multi-hour wait for the monorail? Or the cattle call of the ferryboat at night? Or are you just bracing yourself?

Best advice--leave the park before Wishes, and watch the fireworks from the ferry dock area at the TTC. Music and everything. I should have told you that on Sunday, but the sun must have deleted that tip from my brain.

What's with the cradling the Wonder-style bread? True, Florida's a bread wasteland compared to Northern California (a spoiled, bread snob, that's me), but surely the supermarkets of Florida have something better?

Oh, and Flippyshark's been trying to call you. Answer your cell phone.

Your tour includes kaki gori. I haven't forgotten. Get out here, will ya?

Cadaverous Pallor · 03-21-2007, 07:00 PM

Visible mojo for MF - we'll hold you to it someday.

I forgot to mention the best quote of our evening with the Lashs. We brought up scaeagles at one point. That's when Bear turned to Stoat and said in his exquisite Aussie accent, "That's Leo - with the ham for a butt."

Yeah, I wrote it down.

Hectic day at Animal Kingdom again, then EPCOT today. I lost my Park ticket

. Didn't discover this fact until we got into the hotel room tonight.

The lady at the hotel front desk here assures me that Disney's really good about this sort of thing and I should get a replacement no prob - after all, they've got my fingerprint against the ticket.

Fingers crossed.

The GOOD news is, we're going to Boma on Friday night with Flippyshark & MF, and maybe HTHBellcaptain !

A Boma meet with the Florida crew is one of the BEST experiences ever.
