polkadotsuitcase 12 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Love all the photos -- thanks so much for posting them. So much fun! Is peach cobbler now the official dessert of FFs now? I've been trying to be good, but after seeing everyone's peach cobblers, I'm going to have to break down soon and pull out the Dutch oven...Looking forward to more TR!

anolefan 8 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Quite possibly my all time favorite view at the Fort! I love the view from the bridge.Great report, I am really enjoying your photos! :popcorn: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just Whipperwhirl 24 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 I was just thinking the same thing about the peach cobbler- I think we need an official proclamation declaring it as the official desert for FF.net. For those of you that have never tried it - you need to - it is sooo good. Devores - you are a gifted photographer - some of these pictures are amazing. There are angles I have never seen before - looking forward to more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

devores 382 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wow,I take a nap and this report has run rampent.To save Lou's dignity, I will not comment on the last few posts.Now, where were we?Oh yeh, still 3 Jul 2011, we are at the beach for the fireworks. Fireworks do not require allot of comments, so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.I will say that I thought 9pm was too early to start the fireworks. It was still a little too light out to fully enjoy the show. Another note was the soundtrack. It was too low to hear and add on the thousands of people talking during the show, you could barely make any of it out. The night before we watched wishes and the soundtrack was nice and loud, a great change from previous times. But for some reason, the 4th fireworks show was low. So, now I'll share SOME of the shots I took during the show......You will notice the black cloud hanging right there throughout the show. There was zero wind this day and the explosions of the fireworks created this cloud that would not move. It just hung there. Kind of ruined a few photos but what can ya do.After the show, the kids ran to the campfire to catch the last part of Tangled then headed to keylime's site to "hang out". I guess that is teenager thing. The DW and I looped for a bit, then headed home for some much needed sleep. The next installment will be for Keylime, she had mentioned missing the GC parade, AGAIN, so I will share it with you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Your pictures are just wonderful :banana: Waiting for the next installment :popcorn: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Day 5, 4 Jul 2011We wake early to catch the GC parade. Ive always enjoyed these as some people put in allot of effort into thier decorations. But the past few have not been spectacular. Not many GCs participated. This one was different. There were hundreds. They also changed the route. It headed straight from the hitch/unhitch area to pioneer hall. I almost missed it because I was set up with the cart just outside of the 400 loop, where we always watch it. Luckily my junior TCD senses kicked in and I noticed somethings were just odd. So asked a ranger and sure enough, the route was different. So I get a spot just acrossed from Hilda's.Anyone else ever notice we never get the Big Cheese at the Fort? We have had Chip n Dale, Donald, and Goofey. Id love to see pioneer Mickey in one of the parades.You sick of GC pictures yet? Well theres more to come........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 This parade is like the energizer bunny, it keeps going and going and goingCan anyone guess the next installment?If you guessed GC parade, youre correct..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Still at the GC parade....I think we are almost there....one more page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yep, more GCsThis is the end of the parade, but apparently, this CM didnt get the memo that this would be going on today. He felt entitled to drive past everyone else to beat the traffic.How do I know he was a CM? He was in costume and had a name tag on. The popo were all over him though and made him get back in line like everyone else. They were not kind words either.Remember a few posts back we saw the flag dude? Well, he was here as well.So the kids just had to have thier picture with him. Turns out he is just a patriotic kid who wanted to show it off. I am not sure who won the GC parade, we never made it over to the judging or awards, so if anyone can let us know who won....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Memphis 105 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Great Report! Superb parade coverage. However, I did not see a single green Mickey head sign and only a couple snarky ovals, was Disney discouraging other signs on the cart windows? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
