Greetings folks, how ya doing?

Well, with the tropical storm quickly approaching, my friends and I knew that there was only one way to prepare. A trip to the most magical place on earth!

Not alot to report other than it being very humid, and alot of walls are up everywhere. I also tried something new this time for updates, video. Its not real good and I moved the camera a bit too fast at times but Im working on it. And with a little work, that may become a larger part of my updates. Ill try to post the video a little later today but for now, its picture time.


Well arriving there around 2, we parked at the TTC to head to the MK. We got parked right up front near the TTC and caught a monorail over the MK where we messed around for a little bit. Not really anything to really report there.

Rain on the Monorail...

We then decided to go over to Epcot. So we took the ferry back and caught the Monorail over to Epcot. On the way passing the brush fire, which was large at the time. There was also an empty Epcot parking lot to see.

A brush with fire...

Parking lot of emptiness...

The reflecting ponds of FWW have once again been drained. To be cleaned most likely.

We were going to hit Soarin' but with an 80 minute wait time we decided not to. So we ventured over to FWE to do TT, which was 120 minutes, so we didnt do that. Hmm, what to do? Oh I know, MS, which practically had no wait at all.

2 of my friends did green, leaving the rest of us to do orange. I had not ridden MS since AP Previews, I dont care what Disney says, the original has also been toned down, but I suppose its for the best.

We can still dream it...

Venturing to the WS, Malestrom had a 30 minute wait. Nothing else to report really except for walls and lines.

Lines at the American Gardens theater, I didnt see who was playing but these people apparently liked em...

Are you sure they toned down the original? If they did, that stinks!!! I don't think Disney should tone down rides!

Thanks for the picture of the manatee at Seas! They are always one of the highlights of my trip and I didn't get to see them when I went during the rehab last fall.

Great photos. I was at Epcot yesterday too. Peter Noone was playing at the America Gardens Theatre and there was a line like that everyday for every show. And I stood in it. Not yesterday, though. I need to get on posting the rest of my photos.

Thank you so much for the photos. It is so nice to see "recent" photos of WDW. It makes me feel that I am a part of the WDW experience currently going on. Thanks so much.

Thanks to the storm we had the roughest plane ride ever!!!!!!!!Wife was very ill and scared. We went to ILL. last night and the ride back to the contemp or the TTC was packed due to the fire and the lot @ Epcot being closed!
