NOTE
we drive and get dream maker silver so we are lucky to be able to enjoy check out day at our leisure and take full advantage of our tix.

obviously there are many hilights that are not included in the outline of our travels now i will list a few of them.

the WORST thing that happened was on the way to MK by bus one day the tranny blew and the bus wouldnt move. help came fairly quick and we were on our way in no time. I just feel sorry for the people in the bus that was blocking traffic for us as we unloaded and boarded our new bus. theirs WASNT broken and they had to wait with us .. thanx.

i shot over 20 hours of videoat WDW! and still managed to have a great time! I captured the Skippy pre show at AE before it closed, off kilter 3x, british invasion in whole or part at least ELEVEN! times, 2 trips on the WDW RR, a trip on the TTA, spaceship earth, Cindys suprise celebration, small world, potc 2x, beauty & the beast, FITS 3x , Illuminations 3x, Spectro 2x, share a dream... parade 2x, jammin jungle parade, fantasmic, Illuminations from CBR 2x, lots of street shows at all 4 parks and the safari at AK 2x also about a half hour of various angles of the tree of life
i shot brief clips of indys stunt, hall of presidents, various monorail and boat trips, the inner cues for many atractions as well as the ride photos and exit areas (stores heh), jungle cruise, one mans dream displays and TONS of charecters around the various parks. Hours upon Hours of shots of everything you can imagine everywhere we went in WDW

I must say after having done it for the fIrst time on this trip i REALLY enjoy the triple park hop MK>Epcot>MGM in both directions

aside from various carts and counter service places we had dinner/lunch at least once at Tonys, planet hollywod, house of blues, le cellier, garden grill, sci fi, rainforest @ AK & the plaza on main st

We DIDNT get to disney quest, pleasure island, mini golf and my GF didnt get the dole whip she wanted. she wanted chocolate and pineapple and i talked her into the "classic" vanilla and the guy dint put any pineapple in hers so i got in trouble heh (she made me add that lol. p.s. aparently im STILL in trouble too hehe)

as for memory , i marked down on the park map each time we rode an atraction and a calendar for what park each day
as for keys tour i cant remember her name but she wasnt very young and not very old, aparently she has been doing tours for awhile tho. I might remember if you could throw out a couple of names

p.s. the 20+ hours of video doesnt hurt the memory either lol
