MontyMon’s 2-10 February ’08 TR

This would have been done a lot faster if I hadn’t had to download all 539 pics from my camera to my computer ONE AT A TIME! And if a certain someone hadn’t constantly interrupted while I was composing… LOL!

Day One – Arrival & DHS

DS12 and I flew direct Ottawa-MCO, arriving at 2:44PM. DME whisked us to the Polynesian [even with stops at WL and Contemporary it was still quick], we checked in and found our room [Fiji 2320] and we were at Disney’s Hollywood Studios within two and a half hours of our plane touching down.

Our room:

We headed for RnRC, but the wait was 140 and FPs were long gone. Then we tried ToT, the wait was 40, but we had dinner ressies that meant we couldn’t risk it. So we wandered stores and went to Sci Fi for dinner. DS12 had the Shrimp Penne and I had the Grilled Chicken Bruschetta sandwich. After dinner we rode GMR and then headed to Fantasmic! to queue for the second show. The queue was very crowded and the first show took a long time to exit, so we were late starting. The show had been down all week, so there were a lot of folks trying to squeeze it in before leaving. We got great seats, front row and slightly left of centre. The show was as wonderful as always.

After Fantasmic! We crashed for the night.

I was very surprised how laid-back and easy-going he is. I kind of figured at the Meet we'd be all these fogies and he'd be bouncing off the walls. :lol:
He's a pretty fantastic kid... Hopefully mostly my fault. :D

I've been told it is still there. It was just closed while we tried to see it. :shrug:

[there was another guest who tried to open the doors, so it wasn't just that they'd swung closed or anything... :(]

A vast majority were out-of-focus, or just blurred by movement, or just crap... But I had to get them onto my computer to determine what was savable and what wasn't...

That's it, Monty has spent way too much time in the South :rolleyes:
Actually, no... I just adapt easily to others' linguistic traits... When I speak French, Russian, Serbo-Croatian or Italian, I sound like a native speaker to natives. It's just a knack I have. [My other languages, not so much, but that because I didn't learn them from native speakers]

I've always wanted to speak several languages. Russian and German are both up there on the list for me. I don't want to travel outside of the USA so I don't know how I would use any other language....:confused:

There's a great big beautiful world out here... Come visit some of it! :D

I've been to China, Japan, Venezuela, England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Bermuda, Grenada, Curacao, The Virgin Islands and The Bahamas. I have every intention of visiting many, many more places when the opportunities present themselves. I love meeting people from different cultures.
