if you found out that you only had a few years to make memories with those you love… and you could go anywhere to start on this extremely urgent and important task… where would you go? where would yo

I like the jungle cruise early in the morning because all the animals are out.

so…lets talk about my ride….this is the 'Dash'….rented by one of the off site companies….they also rent the 'Dream'….

I wanted a Dream….but after talking with a Magic Bus…..I decided to just Dash….

Probably just as well that you didn't use the external buses Craig.

I'm looking at the scooter in the photo and it appears, not sure though, that it wouldn't fit inside the scooter template painted on the ground at all the resort bus stops.

If anyone is planning on renting a scooter and planning to use the WDW external buses, do your homework. Don't rely on the rental company to tell you that you might have issues on some WDW transportation.

What a great report so far! I know you were thrilled to have this time with your family!

I'm with you on the scooter thing. My MiL can get around okay day-to-day, but there is no way she could navigate Disney or anything else by foot (arthritis, knee problems, age). We took her with us to the zoo and tried to get her to rent a scooter and she refused, and she ended up missing out on a lot of good stuff.

Yay about nursing school! That's pretty good job security, too. There are always sick people who need to be taken care of.

I wonder what ride we go on first?

I wonder how many people go to this same ride as the first ride of a trip?

so…that railroad train ride is fast Grandpa….

not long after that Grandpa decided to head back to the Fort….

tip for you if you find yourself in the MK at parade or fireworks time….

CM's keep a path open so that you can pass through the stores on both sides of Main Street….who knows…you might buy something too…

so, Grandpa….went through the stores and hopped a boat back to the Fort….and climbed into his bed and shut the door on a really nice day….

a really nice day….like a bucket filling day…..

so back at MK….
