Sorry it has taken me so long to get over here. An insane work schedule is right. I am in a lull right now until schools starts up again and have to deal with losing a few more folks and under current conditions being so ugly we may lose a few more full time to poor upper management as well. I will see if I can even hang in there.
In any event I NEED to finish this one up and Maybe just maybe a short brief quick catch up on the trips since then. ( there have been many)
Oh he makes sure you know when you are being picked on....
SEE????
Thanks Marv for Welcoming Yuki- Yuki it is sure great to have you here. I use weatherbug almost exclusively and on my android it is fabulous. My work phone is an iphone and the app is not as great there.
Oh Great .....
No New Soarin' for either of us. Actually a break in the Disney trips from November 15 to this Oct trip coming up.
I do think we are ready to get back though. Lots of getting back to planning mode done today.
Despite it being an official HM even I needed help looking for it and still don't have a clear Mickey...
Me too Rosie
Oh we tried to find it
Shirt but hard to figure out.
Uh huh Sure
Trying to get back on it and wrap this puppy up.
Yup and I have a picture - We miss Him and this was the last time we saw him.
I really want to know what the plans are for this area. Colortopia was just added so I am wondering what is really going on.
I agree.

Just making sure Marv hadn't picked on me and I missed it !!!
Oh he makes sure you know when you are being picked on....
Like I ever keep my "picking on Rosie" a secret???
SEE????
Oh, I just realized I never told you I was all caught up!!
I've never seen the EWP so I'll definitely try to catch it on my upcoming trip.
I love your bathroom photos!!! Really gives this TR a good PoV feel.
You had such good mojo with the rain!!! I'll have to look into downloading that app for my trip.
to our TR Yuki! Great to have you aboard!

You can pick your nose and you can pick your friends. .........
I'm not sure I do a good job of either
Oh Great .....
Love ya, Marv.
No that is one thing I agree with, you pick on me anywhere and everywhere
Do you have a "PICK ture of that
Now Liesa you do a fine job of both
Yes Marv great update , and you answered a question, you have NOT yet seen the new Soarin' As for the Hidden Mickeys I still can't see them!!

I liked your Maelstrom documentation! I am so sad that I never got to ride it after I had been to Norway. I think it would have made so much more sense to me now....
And I obviously have really bad eyes: I have no clue where there is a hidden Mickey on the picture that I quoted... My father used to say I have tomatoes in front of my eyes. I guess he was right after all.

I agree with al your comments , and I too must have tomatoes in front of my eyes !!!
Me too Rosie
Look just to the left of the clip on her clipboard. Ignore the "darker" folds in her shirt, that makes it look a little like a rabbit........
Once you spot it, go back to the bigger picture and it actually stands out more there, once you know where to look.
Oh we tried to find it
Is it on her arm or her white shirt???
Shirt but hard to figure out.
White shirt.........right beside the clip..........the clipboard actually cuts off the lower right side of Mickey's head
Uh huh Sure
My ticker says 3 months, 1 week and 6 days. No pressure or anything to finish up here...
Trying to get back on it and wrap this puppy up.
Sign #152 that you might get to go to Disney more than the average person..
Yup and I have a picture - We miss Him and this was the last time we saw him.
This makes me incredibly sad. Although no formal announcement by Disney has been made, this is what I found:
"
The Kuka robot arm simulator sponsored by Raytheon is no longer listed on the Epcot guide map, and the Sum of All Thrills website indicates that ride replays can be accessed until June 30 2016.
The simulator allows guests to create a thrill ride and take it for a spin on the end of a robotic arm. The attraction is low capacity, but has been the main draw to Innoventions East since it opened in late 2009.
Like all Innoventions exhibits, corporate sponsorship is key to their existence, and most are limited time agreements.
Innoventions West closed completely in April 2015, and much of Innovations East is now closed. Only Storm Struck and the recently opened Colortopia would remain if Sum of All Thrills was to close."
I could cry having never gotten to do this.
I really want to know what the plans are for this area. Colortopia was just added so I am wondering what is really going on.
Awww, cute threesome. 2 Goofys and a Princess.
Agreed!!! Every 3-5 years is a good timeframe for a change up!
I agree.
Well, thank Goodness! Now you could go to the most expensive dumpshop on property and try out some Laila!
Quite possibly the best news I've had all day. I guess I knew this, but now it's crunch time in figuring all of this out.
Aren't you funny, Rosie.
Of course I do. Hidden in deep vaults buried forever. Only to be found when I run for President.
It is getting to be crunch time. I am sure we will have plenty of picture to show how much fun we CAN have.
I thought you were going for a "Pat = Goofy" joke, but you dodged that one. Smart man.
I'm skeptical that that's really an intended Hidden Mickey. I think people saw "something" there and claimed it to be one.
He knows how to dodge ..... As for the HM see below.
That was one that was in the official Hidden Mickey book. Found it the first time I rode Maelstrom after getting a book (version 3 maybe?)
Yup it is there- Can't see it but it is there....
I know that at Epcot specifically they did add rather obscured hidden Mickeys. I found that it looks more like a hidden Mickey in the quote in Glen's post because the picture is smaller there, so I think it is a question of how you look at it. And possibly the picture distorts the contrast a little which makes it less obvious. Anyway, it has now been destroyed and we will never find out...
True all we have are our pictures.
That still doesn't look like Mickey head to me!!!
I know Rosie - I am having a hard time too.
Hopefully soon an update from me.
