Wowsa - a Quick Report due to a Quick 5 day trip (one day off-site)......
DD is down at WDW with the College Program following her Big Brother (May thru December of 2012). Started in May and is employed at the Liberty Inn.
: In the second row of Soaring when a Shoe came flying off from above.
DD got deployed to the Pinnochio Villaga Haus for 2 weeks - has enjoyed it and has picked up some misc shifts: WWOS, Whispering Canyon, Fantasmic, etc. And, she got selected for Food & WIne! Life is good for her!
The Itallian Sub at the Pinnochio Place is to die for! And, I mean to DIE FOR!
Went through OKW security on day 2 and the Security Guard came out of his hut and studied that pass like it was forged! We dubbed him: Galileo.
One of my Son's best friends graduated in May and also started the College Program while we were down there! Four years of college and is now wearing a silly uniform and making pizza at the AK Pizza place! But, go's to the park for free: WINNER!
Caught up with the Son's old roomies from College Program - who are now lifers! Quite fun! Good kids!
The College Program is really quite addicting - my son calls it a narcotic - he just left for Law School yesterday! #EmptyandLonelyNest!
: OK - my stuff is usually funny - let's get on to the Funny!
: On day 3, it was raining and raining hard! OKW Galileo stood in his shack and waved the 2 cars in front and us through without any official inspection!
Went up to the 16th floor of BLT for Fireworks viewing on Day 2 - AWESOME! Love BLT (on my list of places to stay!) and am not dissing any owners when I say this as I know the rooms are fantastic: "I just keep waiting for a Petrologist to walk out of a room!".
Personally loved the new Fantasy Land architecture. Will be nice when the coaster is done.....
One of the kids we took was born in FLA and had not been back since. He said on the ride down that he had "Passed Through" once - I commented that if you are passing through Florida you are on your way to Cuba.
: OKW is our place! LOVE IT! Unless you are 213 pds and in a 3rd floor room with 36 stairs (with all 36 given obscene names) and no elevators. Attempts to hoist me up via rope failed.
Liked BLT Fireworks so much we went there on Day 2!
Day 4 - fantastic! Won 5 straight shuffle board matches against the 21 something crowd. Followed that up with 3 straight Ping Pong games! The kids admired my greatness and paid for Adult Cocktails on the rest of the trip! Also found the elusive Hidden Mickey on the OKW slide!
Two Crows showed up outside our place every morning - at the same time! Smartest birds in the world. One bird cawed out - that is the fat guy who tried to hoist up to the third floor and is good at Shuffleboard and Ping Pong! They are officially my favorite ugly black bird. Do yourself a favor and look for documentary "Murder of the Crows". Wait - will give you a lead: http://video.pbs.org/video/1621910826/
My inability to find OKW trash rooms is legendary. 6 years ago I was dumping my trash outside Cirque. 3 Years ago I was forced to crash with a family at Saratoga Springs. This year, they found me snoring on Discovery Island the next morning......
On closer inspection, President John Tyler is making an initial movement to Pick at some ear wax - then - surprisingly holds off.
Kicked tires at new Test Track and accidentally hit the rim - OUCH!
: This years winter project will be a repliction of the Mine Train.
I-75 was GOLDEN - only 10 miles of construction this summer!
Final night - went to Bob Jackson's show - TOTALLY NO TABLES! Went to BLT fireworks instead!
Certainly not my funniest - but - a good trip nonetheless.

Not sure what happened to 2009 to 2011 - will have to research!
