[Tracy161]

Page 10! OH MY I am slacking on all my TR's.. But i LOVE Living with the Land and i think i would ride it every day if i could, its a really nice relaxing ride but i just love it too!

Don't worry, I'm totally slacking on my TRs too... Every time I log on, I'm just overwhelmed by the list of TRs wanting my attention

I would absolutely ride LWTL each and every day if I could too

Hello!!!

Finally getting to read and catch up!! [/QUOTE]
And hello to you! Yay for catching up! I need to catch up myself... but... isn't happening! I think because I'm subscribed to approximately 180,124,589 TRs

Sounds like your first day is off to a wonderful start!!

It really was a great start!

Love Disney water!!!
Totally agree!!!

Yay!!!

I saw some odd clothing and shoe choices on my recent trip.

Right?!?!?!

I LOVE that picture with Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy - so cute!

Thank you!!!

Sigh, all that time wandering around World Showcase sounds just about perfect! Add in that lemon blueberry tart and you've got it all!

I was in heaven, trust me... Ahhh... to be back...

I'm a huge Living with the Land fan too! I find it very peaceful. And the water smell can't be beat!

Yay!!! Me too! Very peaceful indeed. Right?! Disney water is the best smell!

Very kind of Disney to fix you up with a nice boy - they really do think of everything!

They really do

Great night shots of Epcot! We loved those sparkling sidewalks after Illuminations! Excited to read about your night at MK and a DIS meet!

Thank you!!! Aren't those sidewalks the best?!

Hi Tracy!!

Hi John!!!

I love this meet and it's unfortunate that I've only been once. I either forget about the meet, forget my card, or both

I know! That's always been my thing in the past

How did Minnie handle this??

At first she wasn't too thrilled but then I saw a look that read something like "always the bridesmaid, lady, aren't ya?" so I think she pitied me and brushed it off

Great shot, but is that an awkward senior year picture I see on the wall in the background?

Haha! Actually I think it's my sister's college picture you see - I'm pretty sure my parents made her get it

The Land smell > Disney water smell, but I enjoy Living with the Land as well. Next time you go, check out the Behind the Seeds tour. It's pretty interesting and "cheap" if I remember correctly.

Yes! I really want to do this. I actually thought about it this trip and should have It's definitely "cheap" by Disney standards.

Great advice, I do this as well.

Wise minds, John...

As a fellow solo traveler, I look forward to the glimpse of my future and my beautiful cartoon wife.

I still can't believe he's gone.

I know...

Saw it and liked it!

Awesome!

NOMS

Indeed!

Glad to see the theme of "Trees of Epcot" is still going strong

They sure are

SUPER NOMS

Yepper!

How great your sister is visiting! I hope yall have a wonderful time!

Thank you!!! I'm SO excited!!!

 

[Tracy161]

How exciting that your sister is coming for a visit. Nice.

Thanks, Mary Ellen - I'm SO excited! She typically is able to visit twice a year so the whole family goes into "drop everything and spend as much time together" mode.

OK - working backwards - great day in Epcot! Yay for Soarin to ride right before your DIS meet.

It really was! And what better way to end my day at Epcot than on a ride on Soarin?!

You got some yummy looking food offerings. Both of those desserts look amazing.

They really were! I have a whole mouth full of sweet teeth so desserts are always my fave!

Cute pictures on Figment (which I haven't ridden in ages) and I also love your pics from Spaceship Earth. I like the tunnel picture and ...oh yeah....your new boyfriend!

Disney thinks of everything, don't they?!

I love LWTL too! There is something about that ride that keeps you coming back for more.

Exactly!!!

I laughed over your drink comment - a little expense for not being an adult beverage, but it looks tastly all the same.

It really was delicious - I'd pay $6.50 again for it

Never heard of the "popping" bubbles, or had them.

Neither had I! So imagine my surprise when I had one, um, pop! It just kinda bursts in your mouth. I could have done without it, to be honest

No! I can't risk losing the few brain cells I have left!
"Oh, look. There's ponzi. He used to write TRs... Now he's a house plant."

The cad!

#truth

You were too good for him anyway. He was so two dimensional. [/QUOTE]
You make a valid point.

My dad is from there, so we've been quite a bit to visit my grandparents and aunts and uncles. My sister lived near Colchester...which is a beautiful area! I need to get back over there but it's so expensive traveling with my kids. I guess I'll just have to settle for England at the WS

Oh, that's awesome! If you must settle for England at the WS... that's still not a bad option

 

[Tracy161]

I am loving that Visa/Mickey and Pals picture! I like how you have it framed in your apartment, like your other "family" pictures I plan on doing that next trip! I have had the Disney Visa for a while also and need to milk it!

Thank you!!! It was so fun getting it! Yep, the "gang" is part of the family, aren't they? You better get on that yourself!

Great Update!! So, what is this magic you speak of about charging your phone while on a ride?? I have a smart phone and Keith and I were just talking about we fully expect them to die while at the parks. I was actually thinking about working in some "charging" time on our trip at some of charging stations that I know are around the parks. However, if I can take care of this while riding on Living with the Land...that is just a dream!!

I actually got the phone charger free from my travel agent. But I'm sure most electronics stores have one these days. It was crucial! Otherwise I couldn't have made it past 3pm with my battery life.

By the way, I'm totally onboard (hahaha...get in onboard...it's a boat...ok nevermind) with Living with the Land...I absolutely adore this ride and I really can't explain why. It's always a must do while at Epcot (preferably a few times).

I see what ya did there I just love this ride!!!

I hope you enjoy your time with your sister. Fun Fact about me...my Mum is from England

Thank you!!! Oh, that IS a fun fact!!!

All caught up again!

Yay!!!

I love love love your Epcot nighttime photos!

There's just something extra special about the parks at night...

Aww, they wanted to adopt you! That's cute! Families never want to adopt me, I'm too big and Shrek-like.

They were great but... there's a reason I travel solo peeps! Sometimes a girl needs some space

I love this!!!!!!! (I have that same frame, too!)

#soulsisters

OMG I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST ME!!!!

Nope. Also, see about hashtag.

Between Soarin', Living with the Land, Sunshine Seasons, and Garden Grill... I always end up spending a lot of time in this building. (It's a also a prime ECV charging spot, so it's fine for me!)

Me too!!!

Whaaaaat! Disney always sticks me with some weird old lady!

It was the only time I saw my boyfriend... he must have a fear of commitment

Typical.

Yup

Mmmm, I LOVED that thing! So tasty and different!

I was over that!

I loved this! Did you love it? The tart was good, but that blueberry fluff cream stuff on top was just dreamy!

I didn't love it, but - to be fair - I was about to burst and ate it anyway so...

Also typical! Also, I can't see photos of the queue for Soarin' without hearing Patrick saying "Hell-oh!" Is that weird?

YES!!! [not "yes" to "is that weird" but yes to I do that too!]

 

[pkondz]

Neither had I! So imagine my surprise when I had one, um, pop! It just kinda bursts in your mouth. I could have done without it, to be honest

I could see how that might be a little disconcerting!

 

[cinderkelly]

Great update!!
When I saw your photo ( the one in the Mickey frame ) I said to myself, I betcha @Elevationist has that frame too, 'cuz so do I!! I completely forgot about the free character photo for Disney Visa card members! Must do next time
I love Soarin', I think my all time fav. ride at Epcot.
Beautiful photos of the flower gardens

 

[JDUB]

Awesome PHoto from the Visa character meet. Our first trip to Disney, my kids (2 and 4 at the time) freaked out crying at Mickey and Pluto. So our free photo was a lovely group pic of just my wife and I.
Great photos of Flower and Garden too. So artsy fartsy lol

 

[Elevationist]

When I saw your photo ( the one in the Mickey frame ) I said to myself, I betcha @Elevationist has that frame too, 'cuz so do I!!

The difference is that mine is still sitting in it's box because I still need to pick a photo to display in it. Whoops!

on thinking Billie must have that frame as well It's such a cute one, isn't it?! Yes! Be sure to do this next time It was so fun.

Thanks! It's so easy to take great photos during that time of the year... everything is beautiful! Just look anywhere and take a picture and it turns out great!

Oh, no! At least you and your wife got a great photo of just the two of you

Thanks!!!

I love your Visa Meet and Greet picture! I've had my card for several years and never gotten a picture, either. I'll have to change that one of these trips!

We rode Living with the Land several times during our trip, too. It's such a nice, relaxing ride.

I found our Soarin' waits with Fastpass were also on the long side. Perhaps they give away too many Fastpasses?

Have a wonderful time with your sister! I'll be seeing mine again tomorrow for Father's Day!

You're certainly packing a lot into your first Disney day!

Thanks, Jenny! Yes, be sure to do that next trip!

It really is

I'm thinking that may be it... I couldn't believe how long some of the "FP" lines were!

Have a wonderful time with your sister! I'll be seeing mine again tomorrow for Father's Day!

Thank you!!! She gets in today!!! I can hardly contain myself I hope you and Anika had a nice time with your dad

You're certainly packing a lot into your first Disney day!

I really did! And there's so much more to come before the first day is wrapped up!

 

[KatMark]

I just wanted to pop in and say since I rarely get here anymore (and I don't want to miss any of your updates).

Hi Kathy!!! You haven't missed a thing! I haven't been on much these past couple weeks (various reasons, the first of which you can guess). Also, my sister just arrived from England so I've been spending each moment I can with her Hope all is well with you Thanks for checking in!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

Oh my G. How the heck did I get soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo far behind??? I haven't had any alerts so I'm blaming the DIS. Yeah totally the DIS's fault!
