Yeah, those were definitely good photo opps. Miss that ride, though what they have there now is way better for my girls. Guess it has to evolve with the generations!

You're brave carrying all that stuff on a plane by yourself! I count 4 1/2 pics. The Star Trek pic counts as a half. You better make up for that in the next post! More pics!

Still Day 3: Okay, NOW this is the moment you have all been waiting for. Arrival of reds. We’ll pick it back up with their lunch at Cracker Barrel. For the past two years now they have stopped here for lunch. For some reason the girls were really excited about it. After they ate the girls wouldn’t leave because they wanted to finish coloring their pictures for Mommy and Daddy. Check out DD5’s shirt. Meanwhile, back at the Fort... Check out this steering wheel cooler: That’s pretty slick, but I don’t know I would ever really use it. I’m never in the GC fo

1. Great minds think alike 2. Bam. 3. Thanks! I can't wait to do more. 4. I'm about to make that my new mission. War on dumb GC drivers/scooter riders/skateboarders. 5. Dumb. 6. Probably right. I just read that Starbucks increased their prices again. Who can afford that stuff anymore? 7. I'll make sure I save your money for you. 8. I thought Paninis were supposed to be flat. Guess not in Italy. 9. I know right! Best one I've ever taken too. 10. Go Cards. 11. They're probably going to raise their prices again to pay for all the new ones. 12. Bam. 13. Thanks. 14. Bam. 15. BAM!!!

Thanks! Yeah, the girls take a good picture, but steer clear if you catch them in a sassy mood...which they get from their mother. Did you get free shipping? It was Mickey's. Yeah, not looking forward to teenage years so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stars. Who cares about me? Mouse poop was sesame seeds. The safari is growing on me. If they would cut out the rest of the fake information I would be happier. Like the reserve opening in 1971. Right. They talk to us like we're stupid. Thanks! Glad you're reading along! Thanks. It was official Mickey M

Okay, but there better be a bunch of pictures!

Day 3: Thursday, June 13 Now is where this TR gets exciting. Redheads. I know, none of you care about all the food and drinks we’ve had, or any of the pics we’ve had so far. It’s okay. I’m used to it by now. My family does the same thing. I have all of my mom’s pics mixed in with my own, so that means we will get to see her pics...synchronized with my own. So while DW and I are at the Fort and AK we can see what the reds were doing. Kinda cool if you ask me. Let’s stop stalling. MaMa and PaPa left our house with the girls about 7:30 that morning. That picture

Of course. Join the club. If you ask my grandpa he'll tell you the milkman. I disagree.

What I'm talking about!

I can see your kids did not get their hair from you. Or maybe that's where all of yours went...

Aaron wins.

Really? You just use me for the redheads? At least CoachClough had relevant comments! Okay fine. The next update will have redheads. I'll get to work...

mmm....dessert

Still Day 2: At some point during this day (don’t remember when) we went looping and came across MicknMin setting up camp. We had a nice chat and found out that they were waiting on a GC key because they didn’t have theirs. Luckily they had a daughter who picked one up on the way down. That is one of my biggest fears...forgetting the GC key, charger, or more importantly forgetting the keys to the TT. On a side note, later in the trip we had a neighbor come down to our site who was locked out of their TT. They had stepped outside and somehow the door locked behind them. We couldn’t

Thanks You definitely need to do it Spreadsheet would work My wife (in all of her reading about food) told me that there are people who just go around eating cupcakes all day. That's crazy. I don't know if I could finish one, let alone several throughout the day. Good to know about the peanut butter cupcake. What kind of salad doesn't have bacon on it? I'm skeptical. And I feel like all food portions are shrinking around WDW...but none of the prices are. I don't think it will upset me at all for the backlot tour to be taken out. Jury is still out on the stunt show...I nee

I can dig the coyote video. Just like dogs. Except not.

Still Day 2: Animation time! I have to admit, I never really knew much about the animation academy. It really wasn’t until I started reading about it in you-know-who’s trip reports. Not having the girls with us yet, this was the perfect time to try it out. I forget our artist’s name, but she was good. I loved the whole thing. Air conditioning. Low lights. Soft speaking artist teaching us to draw. I totally dug it. We drew Daisy. We got to vote, and the voting came down between Daisy and Stitch. Who in the Fort wants to draw Stitch? I wish Stitch would final

You get to see the fireworks first...

Which guy? The scarecrow or Uncle Sam? I'm guessing the scarecrow. Could be. Thanks! Not sure about kah rack though. Maybe it will grow on me. Umm...thanks? I'll be sure to go away more often!

OR...he could have a contest for Fiends to win a weekend at the Fort with TCD! Genius! Not only would they get to be at the Fort, they would also have the best tour guide the entire time! I call dibs on the first one.

Let's get going into the next day a little. Day 2: Wednesday, June 12. After my magic cookie bar breakfast (of champions), we headed over to DHS for ropedrop and AP pickup. We got there super early (how we roll). I had to pick up new APs for DW and DD5, and purchase a new one for DD3. For those of you who have ever bought an AP for a 3 year old, you will understand my agony. Over $600 for a 3 year old? Even I think I’m crazy. But, for the number of days we will be there in the next year, it’s worth it. But it’s ridiculous. While the CM was working on our stuff, she r

It was a pretty good culinary night. I see what you're going with the puh pow. I expect a new onomatopoeia for every comment you make during this TR. I don't like mushrooms either, but it made me a believer. And don't worry about the reds. There will be plenty of pics! Just have to build the anticipation. I know, right! GAG at HTT is actually a fantastic idea, but no, not this time. It does relate to a GAG in a way though. Yeah, I think my wife got those mushrooms from some sketchy guy behind the grocery store... Magic cookie bars fit in every food group and every

Woo hoo! We just recently went to our first animation class and loved it. We will definitely be making a habit out of that. Sorry to see this one end. I started reading your TRs back at the old place, and feel like I know the twins even though I've never met them. I'm sure there will be many more trips during college and AD (after degrees). And by the way, I think Rocky needs some Fort action. I'd like to see some more tetherball pics. I thought about letting my dogs try that last week, but figured we would end up with a popped ball.

AGU! I don't think I've ever used that acronym. Bam! We have been to the Lodge several times, but never just chilled in there. Definitely looks like a great place to get out of the sun/rain. Oh, and... woo hoo!

We have so much in common...
