A Quick Lazy-WET weekend at the Fort, plus other randomness


Recommended Posts

I have very few pictures to share, but many folks insisted I take a few, so I did.

 

I've been traveling back and forth to Orlando for work, and took some time to drive over to the Fort on a couple of occasions, then last weekend I bunked with Lorna for a few days.

 

I only had my phone and my small Kodak Point and Shoot for a camera, so the pictures are sporadic and so,so....

 

Pics coming soon!

OK, here we go, like I said, total randomness!!

 

One evening during my workweek, I think on a Wednesday, I drove over to the Fort.  I wandered over to Angie's but only Skeeter was home, so I kept wandering.  Took the yellow bus over to Wilderness Lodge and had dinner from Roaring Forks, and sat outside and watched the geyser :)

Then I wandered back to the Fort, found a spot that was relatively people free and watched the Electrical Water Pageant and Wishes, then drove back to my hotel.  Also saw a very cool lightning show flashing all around Bay Lake :)

On Friday of that same week, got a text from TJ that he had Ohanna reservations, would I join them?? (TJ, Tim, and Sheila) Well, believe it or not, that was a maybe.  Friday was a heavy work day for me, but I finished in time to scoot over there (FYI it was a 40 mile drive from my hotel to WDW).

 

I was a bit late finding a parking spot, then gave up and valet parked, and snuck up on Tim and gave him a big hug from behind, then the 4 of us proceeded to pig out on Ohanna's awesomeness!!!!!!

 

Afterwards we wandered the Poly a bit.....

On Saturday, I had actual plans to meet up with folks at the Fort. Angie and friends were cookin that day, so met up with Lorna and Richie, and Tim and Sheila, Angie, Donnie, a gaggle of kids, Skeeter, Dan and Jen, and a few others I don't remember names.  As you can see there was a typical afternoon summer storm going on

Random rules!! I love anything that doesn't take a spreadsheet to plan so of course I'm in!

 

Besides, I'm here in 1600 and haven't seen hardly anybody, so I'll live vicariously thru your pics until I find more of my fiends outside...

Just think if the lightning show would have hit the EWP.

 

Would have been epic.

Fast forward to June 26th. I had been in Orlando, the previous week, then mooched off of Lorna for a few days afterward.

 

On Saturday, Lorna and myself went to DTD. Lorna liked the seats on this golf cart so I took pictures...

Later that evening, Lorna and Rich were picking up Just Beachy from the airport, so I went looping and watched the EWP

Sunday morning, we sleep in, and I get a text

 

TJ: "Y'all awake yet?"

 

Me: "Sortof ;)"

 

Me: are you at the fort?

 

TJ: No, I just sitting under my pop up. Wishing I was there....lol

 

TJ: I miss the morning conversation

 

Me: well come over for a while, Rich said something about making pancakes

 

TJ: Ok

 

Me: see ya soon

 

 

Translation...... TJ bouncing up and down in his chair, goody, goody, goody, I get to go out and play :)

 

 

So TJ comes by, Richie makes pancakes, and we sit outside and run our mouths, then come in for a bit when the rain starts, and run our mouths some more.  We notice some sites across from us emptying out, so we text other Fiends arriving today, that the sites are empty

 

Ami and her family arrives at the Fort and parks right across from Lorna and Richie!!

Then we're talking about dinner, and our "cousin" TJ says we can go to Hoop De Doo, 4:00 show for 50% off.

 

Lorna and Richie have NEVER been to Hoop De Doo, so we do some online checkin, make some phone calls, and we're goin to Hoop De Doo!!!
