Oh, and just had to share this video of cute rhinos! Then off to bed. We still have 6 more days!

Its like going back to the old days of dial up and message boards?

Not as far as I know, but, that is because I really was never on the interwebs back during that time.
Just ridiculously featureless anymore, and you have to wait for the one and only mod to approve your posts.
I don't understand why the "forums" aren't just shut down.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Hugs and kisses to your doggie.

I don't have a dog.

After the STudios we went to the Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. I can't say enough good things about this show! LOVED IT! I guess the only thing I didn't care for was the chili but it had tons of beans and I don't like beans in my chili at all, but at least the chili had good flavor. The show had cowboys, Indians, Mickey and gang, buffalo, Annie Oakley, Buffalo Bill, and just good fun. This is a must for DLP guests.

We were given cowboy hats.View attachment 100798 View attachment 100799 View attachment 100800 View attachment 100801 View attachment 100802 View attachment 100803

The main food was: roast chicken, beef ribs, pork ribs, sausage, potatoes, corn bread, tortilla chips, and drinks were soda or beer. I bet you can't guess which I choose?!?

Thanks again, and love all the pics and report!
But, yes, there are DEFINITELY no beans in a good ol' bowl of Texas Red...!

You're crazy.

I may very well be.
But, I'll take my hot crazy over your cold crazy, any day of the week...!!!

We had dinner at Boma tonight and while it was nice, I don't think I'd do it again. The roasted chicken was super yummy, and I liked the lobster stew and zebra domes (of course), but that's about it. Good thing we're on the dining plan cuz it wasn't worth $40 to me!

you should try the Sanaa.
Their indian fusion food is really good.

just watch when you go.. because back in feb.. it was always FULL TO THE SEAMS!

 

[donaldtoo]

No, I didn't say that I enjoy standing on the surface of the sun. I just like it warm. It makes me feel like everything I thought the south was like when I was a kid. That appreciation was helpful in getting me through Vietnam as well. I don't honestly remember it ever getting below 90 degrees there, even at night. Once in awhile, after a monsoon like rain, it would drop to the mid 80's occasionally and that was downright chilly.

And OK, you are crazy!

I'm OK with that (see my last post).

No, the slide goes under the ski jump straight down. Just looks like they would get launched off, but it's fake.

I haven't finished sharing my London photos so if it is okay I will share some more today and probably finish up tomorrow.

The Tower Bridge

The Tower of London, it was an awesome place to visit. It was fascinating to see the crown jewels (no pictures allowed in there). I could see myself in those jewels!

Just what I picture when I think of London

Our double decker tour guide told us this little park helped inspire some of Mary Poppins, I don't know if that is true but I could picture Bert doing some chalk drawings out front.

Speaking of Mary Poppins...here is St. Paul's Cathedral. It was amazing inside (no pictures allowed in there either). Feed the Birds kept going through my head though!

Westminster Abby (again also gorgeous on the inside and no pictures allowed). At one point while touring I imagined I was Kate marching down the aisle (yep I'm a nerd). We also went back for the Evensong worship service, listening to the choir while looking at the amazing artwork around me just leaves me speechless.

We also toured Winston Chuchill's War Room, underground bunkers, it is amazing to think that people spent so much of WWII down there living and planning out the war. This is one of the meeting rooms.

I'm sure many of you have a picture of these from Epcot.

Buckingham PalaceView attachment 101506

superb photos as usual.

so bad they have this no photo policy on most of their buildings.

Anyway.. I never imagined the lamps and walls around the Buckingham palace, to be THAT BIG.

 

[Cesar R M]

No, the slide goes under the ski jump straight down. Just looks like they would get launched off, but it's fake.

good, I definitively was all "THESE PEOPLE ARE NUTS!!!" as I imagined them being launched from that height.

And here's a nice sunset view from our room at Kidani just now:

Beautiful view.

I kind of had luck. I wanted to buy the new Disney Van's shoes. I didn't find them but I tried on the same version of the Mickey shoe I wanted so I had an idea of size and if I would like the style. I did order the Mickey ones online today. If I had just bought them online in my normal shoe size it would have been too big, so I'm glad I tried on a version of the shoe.

Woot! I'd like these.

 

[donaldtoo]

That she is a nerd????

Nope, not the nerd part.
I already knew she is a majorly awesome nerd...!!!
