mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Time for another update.... We are still on Saturday, October 25th. when we left off, we were heading back toward Future World for a couple of FP+ Our first is Spaceship Earth.... yes if you are into big attractions, this may seem like a waste of a FP+, but since they introduced FP+ as others have reported, the line is usually pretty long. Also, we left the scooter parked outside and walked in because the accessible line is always very long. We got a couple decent shots inside the attraction Our Future! Rick on a surboard, like that will ever happen.... Next we're wandering over to Soarin for our next FP+ Then it's time for DINNER!!! Some more Epcot wandering first... but we're just about at photo limit, so more to come soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ependydad...Doug 176 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 No simple answer on the shelters. I made it. I got the 10x20 EZ-Ups off of ebay. I got two sets of screen walls and two sets of solid walls from Wal-Mart (First Up Brand). Then I got some zippers, set up the two shelters in my backyard, and started cutting and sewing. The camper goes underneath one of the 10x20s, then the other one goes next to it, and the screens zip around. The third 10x20 is just set up cross-ways in front of the other two. We park the golf cart and the ECV under there, and gives us extra dry space to unzip the screen. Thanks for the info! I'd love to see more pictures of it. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have a minor, but valid, complaint. It's 2014- hasn't technology advanced to the point that they can take a photo of guests on Spaceship Earth that doesn't look like a puzzle piece mixed with Swiss Cheese?: Our Future! Seriously, are we supposed to be impressed with that? TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD I was actually severely disappointed in the update, and I got to see it during the "soft openings", and yes, our pictures are terrible.... I agree!! Thanks! I had the exact thought. It looks ridiculously hokey and way too "80's". Agreed! At least I'm not the only one with a hole in my head! I didn't even post our pics b/c they were so bad. I "think" they are blocking out logos, and the software puts a hole in anything that looks like words.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 So, when we last left off, we were finishing up a FP+ at Soarin', then heading for dinner.... More wandering on our way to dinner... Can anyone guess where we're heading?? It's Rick's favorite restaurant.... Yes, it's Cape May Clam Bake :) Now for some Pood Forn! A picture of our ship!! Hopefully someday we get to sail on her again! Our cabin, just to the right of the last lifeboat :) It was dark when we left the resort That is just about picture limit. We have one more FP+. It's something I've never experienced, mainly cause I refuse to wait in those lines. That will be coming up in the next update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Cape May ... yum! I heard they quit having crab legs every night. Is that true? And last time we were there they were small, hard to crack, and stringy. How were they for you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 But my visor was plain ... If you'll notice my ear had a hole in it too. I'm guessing their software pics up on anything that looks remotely like words. Cape May ... yum! I heard they quit having crab legs every night. Is that true? And last time we were there they were small, hard to crack, and stringy. How were they for you? They obviously had crab legs the night we were there. They were pretty good. I didn't have that many. I like crab legs, but really don't like working that hard for my food. I go mainly for the clams, mussels, shrimp, and their yummy seafood soup! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duane 152 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 then heading for dinner.... More wandering on our way to dinner... It's Rick's favorite restaurant.... Rick is the MAN! and has good taste in eating places…. This is my all time Disney favorite as well… In fact a couple of years ago when we spent Thanksgiving at the World (sadly, not the Fort, but Saratoga Springs), this is where we ate Thanksgiving Dinner! Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving like some crab legs and mussels in butter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing says Happy Thanksgiving like some crab legs and mussels in butter! We've only been to WDW once for Thanksgiving many moons ago, and we got in a "mood" that day for Thanksgiving and ended up eating the offering they had at All-Stars food court..... (If I remember, we didn't eat together either). Rick does like good food :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yum!!!! I love crab legs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Time to continue! As I said earlier, because of FP+ I'm doing something I've never done before, and that is go to Character Spot at Epcot! We met with my buddy Mickey and Goofy and Minnie Then we headed out of the park Terrible picture, but Rick saw some deer on the way back to the camper I also started something that evening, that I did almost every trip back to the Fort. I actually got off the bus at WL and rode the scooter along the path between the WL and FW. It just made for a relaxing end to each evening. We spent the evening at the camper watching Football. I believe that was the evening Auburn was on SEC Network, so we watched the Alabama game. More to come soon!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
