Sue Holland -- October 2002 -- Walt Disney World (Offsite, OKWR)
INTRODUCTION: This trip started as a long weekend meant to bridge the gap between longer trips in early September and early November. However, I still have some old vacation time that must be used by June (lost 4 days this year) so I added one more night, figuring I would go home on Tuesday rather than Monday. I later decided that since the main reason for my trip is to see shows at the Comedy Warehouse, I might as well stay Tuesday night and just drive to work on Wednesday morning (3 hours away). My friend Leesa is a major Comedy Warehouse fan as well, so I decided to bring her along on the extra night (Tuesday) and just stay at her place. She lives far enough away that picking her up and taking her back home, then returning to OKW is too difficult - I'm not comfortable driving much at night (getting old, lol) and it makes for too late of a night. An event at work got rescheduled for Friday afternoon, which killed my plans to leave by noon. Instead, I'll leave (hopefully) by 3 and just meet Leesa at the Comedy Warehouse - thankfully our friend Nancy was able to pick her up & bring her in before starting work at PI. The work event includes food, so I won't need to worry about dinner before the shows (not that I'd ever choose food over seeing a show there, lol). I'll probably still be in my work clothes, and will be toting a bunch of stuff - some books for a CMs roommate's toddler, and cookies for the actors & other CMs, plus the camera, etc. I don't think this will be a particularly busy trip. I don't think I'm meeting anyone else for any plans (the 2 November trips will be VERY busy in that sense), so I hope to just putter around doing as much or as little as I want. Since Typhoon Lagoon will be closed for rehab during my next few trips I'm sure I'll spend time there. Comedy Warehouse every night is a given, and hopefully I'll find Tracy & Tyger there some nights, along with several of the other regulars. I'll definitely check out Mara for soup, and will probably eat at LeCellier again. I've got a couple of conference calls scheduled, but assuming they're not canceled I expect they'll be fairly brief (less than an hour) and won't interfere with anything I want to do. It hasn't exactly cooled off here in Florida yet, but I will try to remember my rollerblades just in case I think it's cool enough to get some outdoor exercise. The plans (subject to change) so far... Fri 10/4: Work, Comedy Warehouse w/Leesa Sat 10/5: Check in OKW, Typhoon Lagoon or Epcot, Comedy Warehouse Sun 10/6: AK or Epcot or MGM, Comedy Warehouse Mon 10/7: Magic Kingdom, Comedy Warehouse Tue 10/8: Typhoon Lagoon, move to Leesa's, Comedy Warehouse w/Leesa Wed 10/9: Drive to work DAY 1 FRIDAY OCTOBER 4, 2002: Who: Sue, DVC Member Leesa, Comedy Warehouse regular Plan: Work, Comedy Warehouse w/Leesa Actual: Work passed quickly, although I didn't get out of there until 3:30 (30 minutes later than planned). I made excellent time though, arriving at Pleasure Island at 6pm! I called Leesa on her cell phone to see where she was, then walked over to meet her on the West Side. We walked around Downtown Disney and stopped in the Ghiradelli Store for a sample. After we entered Pleasure Island we stopped at Missing Link and got some fries for Leesa's dinner (I had eaten at an afternoon reception at work) before joining the growing line at the Comedy Warehouse. We ran into Bob & Virginia with another couple while out on the street, and ended up sitting with them for a few shows tonight. I dropped off a bag of Chris' old books with cm Susan - for her roommate's daughter, and we had a short wait for the door to open. We were seated in long row (yay) and I went up to the tech booth to see who would be working in this show. My friend Larry in Scotland might have been pleased (since he took pleasure in July in wishing my least favorite actors would be working), but we were decidedly underwhelmed. Normally Friday night is a great tonight, but tonight there were 4 regulars not working, so we had 4 subs in. The 7:20 show opened with the name rhyme game, with Chris, Krista, Todd, Rob & Philip. They did This Is Your Life - a new game where they bring a volunteer up on stage and 1 actor questions them about their life, pausing for the others to act out those scenes. They picked a 15 year old boy named Trip, who despite not having much material (short life so far) was pretty good onstage. The game moved quickly, and was very good. Chris did a great job as the interviewer, and we saw Todd & Krista act out Trip's 2nd kiss, his win at a debate competition, and we saw into the future with Trip as a corporate lawyer. Each little scene was funny. Next they did Forgotten Songs, which is usually a favorite of mine (one of many, lol) but tonight it was pretty bad. Krista did a cute song called Fish, as a redneck fisherman who sang about how beer's the only reason to go fishing. Todd & Rob came out as Elvis or Fonzie types singing Chevy Corsica and when we thought it couldn't get any worse, Chris & Philip did a gregorian chant (I hate gregorian chant, so there may be some bias here) called "He lost his dog but he still loves her". It was gross at times - perhaps too gross to be funny. Basically the dog was hit by a truck, smeared on the road, etc. Yuck! Next Philip & Chris were mother & son telling a story called The Yucky Carrot. Philip had been born with a whole carrot in his body, and so for a long time could never bend. While he was performing in a school play he finally passed the carrot - another rather gross idea. Overall the show was barely ok - even the really good ones weren't able to save it. If anyone saw this show & then left - this is not what the shows are usually like, so give it another try! After the show we chatted with some of the actors, but spent the most time talking to Todd. I'd brought a big tin of cookies for the actors & servers, so I gave it to Todd to put where they could all access it. He's still working at the Ghostbusters Show at Universal, even though he subs a lot here. We headed outside briefly before the door opened again, and when we went back in to our long row seats I again checked the board to see who'd be working. I almost fell over - a name you almost never see here anymore was on one of the microphone buttons - Layden! When I returned to my seat, Bob said Layden had come in while they were standing outside the back door (while we were inside talking to Todd) and told him he was working the last 4 shows - looks like it will be a late night for me, but no way will I miss any of his shows when he's here so infrequently. The 8:15 cast was Philip, Todd, Rob, Layden & Chris. Layden rang the bell for Should Have Said, which took place in a funeral home and involved a kielbasa (sp?). Oh my gosh - it was so good to have Layden back, and even though this first game was just good, things were turning around some. Despite not working here much, you'd never know it from his performance, and his energy actually helps the whole cast be better than they already are. Next Philip did a funny Chinese song called Chop Suey - very good! They played Schmeopardy with Philip as host Bob Headlookslikeanipple, lol! He had this rubber thing on his head that looked like a nipple, and Layden's character kept teasing him about it. Todd was a wimpy named Steve who was an alligator wrestler with a plunger to keep the gator's mouth closed. Rob was astronaut Kurt Armstrong, the illegitimate son of Neal. Layden was an oven maker - Magic Chef. Between Layden & Philip, the game was excellent, with lots of laughs. When the show ended we talked to Layden for a while - he said Nancy had told him I was here tonight. Now that his ABC thing has closed he's back to Streetmosphere at the Studios, and is hardly ever at the Comedy Warehouse anymore. It was nice chatting with him again, and we all hope to see him more often at CW! Before the 9:15 show started Tyger had arrived, so she came over to talk to us. Tracy would be meeting her for the next show, so I was glad to be able to tell them that both Layden & Todd were working tonight! As Adie & Lisa reported in their trip report a couple of weeks ago, Tyger had applied/auditioned for a Bimbo role (princess), but didn't get it because she's too tall. I never thought about it, but I guess it makes sense that each bimbo/princess remain the same size regardless of who she is underneath <g>. Anyway, we chatted with her until the show was about to start. The 9:15 cast was Chris, Krista, Ed, Layden & Todd. This ended up being the best show of the night, in my opinion. They started with a poem - The Rabbit Died (which had nothing to do with pregnancy) and then Chris rang the bell for Should Have Said. Krista was the queen bee, with Ed & Layden coming in as worker bees. They had to keep flapping their wings because Krista told them if they stopped they'd fall - they finally went and "landed" on some seats to give their arms a rest, lol! Krista was hysterical as the queen fussing over feeling fat & complaining her butt was too big. The guys all did a great job as well - it was a very funny scene. Next they did a musical set in a Walmart. Layden was a greeter, and Chris was an illegal alien named Carla looking for a job, and running from her husband Pablo. Layden falls in love with her, and takes her to his apartment, where he confesses that he is really from the Ukrane. He has to do this in the style of a Ukranian ballet. He sang quite a bit in this scene, which was wonderful! Overall it was a great scene. They also did the game where there are 4 actors & 4 words. The first one starts a scene with the first word, then the scene is frozen and the 2nd actor must enter & pick up a different scene using the 2nd word. After all 4 are in, then they mix things all around. Tonight Todd had washer, Chris had quilting, Layden had dodgeball and Krista had hair dryer. They closed with an embarrassing story about a woman who'd been discovered engaged in a rather private activity alone by her mother. Layden took the information as delicately as he could, since this was Disney, lol, and although the song was pretty dirty it was mostly just funny. After the show we talked to Todd again, and Chris briefly, then went outside to watch for Tracy's arrival. The 10:30 show featured Ed, Philip, Layden, Rob & Chris. They did a 1-act play with Ed & Philip gardening but unable to remember where they'd planted each vegetable. Layden came in as the pretty Heidi, and it was a good musical scene. Next was Cliché - with Layden being tortured until he guessed he was in a dentist's office, and the phrase "It's fun to do the impossible". He ended up guessing it before Philip's final clue, but it lasted long enough that we enjoyed several clever clues being guessed. We chatted with Layden more after the show, mostly about his specific situation with the Comedy Warehouse. Without going into details, some of the stuff Disney is doing & saying to him is absolute crap! We were still talking when it was time for the actors' notes meeting to begin, so Philip got on the sound system and "paged" Layden to the notes meeting - and Layden responded by saying "Jesus?? Is that you?", LOL! Earlier in the show he'd called Rob Jesus because of the dark wig he was wearing - so it was pretty funny. We had a long wait for the final show - which kind of stinks because the last show seems to be a little shorter than the others. Ordinarily none of us would have bothered, but with Layden there none of us considered leaving <g>. While Leesa & I were waiting at the back door a guy in an electric scooter came flying down the ramp really quickly. We tried small talk, and Leesa is always very friendly to everyone, but this guy was such a major jerk I just shut up and refused to bother with him. He was so pompous and had no sense of humor at all - ugh! Leesa just asked him if he'd been to the club before, and he got snotty as if she was some kind of moron for not knowing he'd been there before. What a shame to be such a pill! The 12:05 cast was Ed, Philip, Krista, Layden & Rob. They did Styles, where a scene is interrupted 3 times for a different song style. Krista & Layden were in a Victoria's Secret and Rob came in as a customer with very droopy boobs. Tey did a Ziedeko (sp?) song called I'm Starving, and a religious Madonna song called Noooo - where Krista sang about "Swing low, sweet breast tissue" rather than "swing low sweet chariot", lol! The final song was a polka called "It seems there's a redneck behind you" - and it was very funny. They also did Actor's Nightmare, where 3 actors read from a script and the 4th actor has to make all the dialogue make sense as if it was all 1 play. It was Philip's nightmare, and he was fixing a toilet. It was ok - the toilet suggestions get pretty old though. We talked to Tracy & Tyger briefly before leaving. Poor Tracy has to be at work at 6:50 am so it was a very late night for her! Leesa & I drove back to her condo, looked at a few of her best pictures from her recent Seattle trip (and the yummy gifts she brought me back) & called it a night (morning). I read most of my email & got the report done & posted, so it was 3:30 or so before I actually went to bed. Tomorrow's a Typhoon Lagoon day, so I can always catch a catnap on my lounge chair if I'm tired. Today followed the plan, although seeing Tracy & Tyger tonight was a bonus, and having Layden at CW was a HUGE plus! I was disappointed to miss Greg, Mary & Matt tonight, but hopefully they'll be back before I leave. DAY 2 SATURDAY OCTOBER 5, 2002: Who: Sue, DVC Member Tracy & Tyger, Comedy Warehouse Residents (not sure why they pay rent on their apartment, lol) Plan: Check in OKW, Typhoon Lagoon or Epcot, Comedy Warehouse Actual: I was awoken at 7:30 by the alarm beeping away. Damn! Who's stupid idea was it to get up so darn early????? Oh yeah, mine. I took a quick shower, made some mint hot chocolate, IM'd with a couple of friends and got ready for the day. As expected, Leesa did not wake up, but that's good - that means I wasn't too noisy. I was on the road to OKW by 8:45. After chatting briefly with Angelo I went inside to check in (1 person ahead of me in line). The cm found a vacant studio that met all of my requests and soon I was on my way to building 35. I like this location, although this specific studio is the unit I like the least in this building (having stayed here before). However, I'm happy to be here - in any studio! The housekeeping cart was parked in the parking lot, thankfully in a regular parking spot rather than blocking access to anyone needing the handicapped spot. This has been an ongoing problem at OKW, and I hope they're finally dealing with it. I tossed my stuff into the studio and then drove over to AKL to get breakfast since I was hungry. At AKL it was very noisy for some reason. It's so beautiful, but the noise ruined the atmosphere for me. I went down to Mara and got one of the yogurt/granola things and drove to Typhoon Lagoon. I was there from just after 10 until 1pm or so, and other than the 30 minutes I spent in the wave pool with the bobbing waves I either sat at the edge of the water or sat/laid on my chair reading. It was a beautiful day, with no clouds in the sky at all. The park was not overly crowded, but it was doing a good business. I really enjoy this park - the atmosphere, the fun beach music, and of course the bobbing waves. It was a great way to spend the first part of the day. I returned to OKW to unpack, take another shower, and head out to the Studios. Based on Layden's schedule, today would be my best chance to see him doing Streetmosphere, and since I've never seen the parade over there I might stick around for that. At the bus stop I waited a little while before deciding it would be easier & more pleasant to just drive, so I got the car and headed to the Studios. The parking lot wasn't very full, which was a good sign for me! After getting through the security checkpoint I entered the park. Thanks to Layden I pretty much knew where & when to look for him, and sure enough I found the Streetmosphere gang right off the bat. He was sitting on a bench with a hankerchief hanging from one nostril - a real classy pose that I didn't bother to photograph, lol! I went to check the tip board for a minute and when I returned he was gone. The rest of the actors were there and soon a scene started about a lady's dog who had gotten shaved bald the night before. They involved people off the street, and it was fun to watch. By the time this ended it was time for them to go in, so I walked down and rode the Great Movie Ride. It's been ages since I was on this, but I didn't notice any changes or updates. Of course, I had my eyes closed through most of it - from being tired, not scared. When I got out it was almost time for Streetmosphere to do their pre-parade stuff, and soon they appeared. This time Layden was driving the car, with the 2 male actors riding in the back seat. As they would slowly go down the street they'd stop and interact with people waiting for the parade. It's nice the park has this to break up the monotony of waiting! Soon it was almost time for the parade to start, so they sped up to get off the road. I decided I really didn't care about the parade at all, and left the park. Everyone says it's cute, and possibly the best one of the daytime parades, but I had better things to do with my time <g>. I was hungry! The tram took me back to my car and I drove to AKL again. It's a good thing I didn't stick with the buses, or I would have had a much longer commute! At Mara they still had several of the yogurt/granola things, so I picked one up for future breakfasts. They must still be getting a great deal on gumbo ingredients because the soup of the day was 3-bean sausage gumbo. Ugh - I settled for the tomato bisque, which is always good. Rather than eat in the noisy Mara I brought the food back to OKW. One of my soaps' Friday episode was starting on SoapNet, so I watched that while updating the report and eating my soup. Around 6:30 I was fed, changed (fresh clothes - it was warm at the Studios), and out the door on my way to Downtown Disney. Parking was a nightmare, thanks to the private event that took over Mannequins and the Waterfront for the entire evening. Lots of those guests evidently came by car! After unsuccessfully checking a couple of lots, I settled for whatever I could find. I entered PI and soon ran into Tracy & Tyger on the street. We talked to cm Lisa, who's now working as a bartender instead of waitress - she was in the outside bar tonight. David came by to see if I wanted to join him for the show (backdoor), but I told him there were 3 of us. The crowd was very small, and we were the last to join the line. David had sat in the 4th seat from the end of long row, leaving 3 for us, which was really nice. Some others came in before the show started to finish our row - that was where the crowd ended tonight! We were lucky they were even doing a show, with such a small crowd. We saw the schedule on our way in, and the show looks like it should be great, with a couple of our favorite games scheduled. I was disappointed to see there are still several actors out working on some other event - Greg, Joy, Jake, Philip & Jen. At least tonight the subs were mostly good. The 7:20 cast was Matt, Todd, Mary, Krista & Graham (from Adventurer's Club). They started with the name rhyme game, which Krista won. The first name or 2 they did an excellent job with, and it took a while for someone to get buzzed out. They played a new game next - Todd & Matt were in a bank and had to start a scene where everyone can only say 1 word at a time. I thought it was pretty bad (not funny) but Tracy said it actually wasn't as bad as it usually is - but it definitely wasn't funny. Thank goodness they didn't let it go on for too long, and hopefully they'll drop this game if they're not able to do something else with it to make it entertaining. Next they did our favorite - Cliché! Krista was tortured and after first guessing she was in a beauty salon she had to say "He was busier than a one-eyed cat watching 2 mouse holes". The initial clue was very funny, and it moved along quickly. Cliché is always lots of fun! Overall, it was a good show. Considering it was the first show, and the crowd was barely 40 - 45 people, it was outstanding! We got back in line right away, and the 8:15 cast was Matt, Krista, Graham, Mary & Jen Br. They did Song Cue, where the scene is interrupted to sing different song styles. Mary & Matt were a mother & son working in a sawmill. Matt ended up firing her, and the entire scene was very funny! They did a Native American song called "Come to Mommy's bosom" which was pretty wild <g>. The next song was a jazz number called "You're walking through the streets in your underwear", and Graham came out on stage with his pants removed and a pair of boxers on! He just walked on through, lol! They also did a country song called "The Oedipal Cycle" about Matt not wanting to risk marrying a girl like his mother so he bought a mail-order filipino bride (played by Graham). It was also great. They did Up Your Alley next, with Mary as host Carol Canning (looking & sounding like Carol Channing). The topic was go carts and Krista was a beer-drinking Maimie who drives a go cart since her last DUI because they don't require a license. Jen Br was Joey Slick, a kid who makes go carts & other moving things with her dad. Graham was a snail named S. Car Go. After the show I talked to Mary for a little while, then went up to get in line again. By now the line was long, and we ended up in the very top row, but it beats killing an hour or more until the next show! The 9:15 cast was Chris, Matt, Todd, Krista & Brian. They started with a poem called "I like mustard on my weiner", which was very good. Next Matt called styles of tv, movies, etc while Chris & Krista created a scene in the Thai restaurant in Maui. Brian came in as the waiter, and they all did a good job with it. Next they did another new thing - Todd & Brian were 2 brothers telling a story about a kid's bed that looks like a train. It was pretty bad, unfortunately. I think Brian could have taken off with it, but Todd isn't the right match for Brian's craziness. Next up was Schmeopardy, hosted by Krista doing her rapid talking. Todd was a quilter named Sam Needle, and Matt was an events coordinator named Mac Adonia. He works at the Holy Land Experience in Kissimmee planning the second coming - and said this show counted as mass for all the catholics out there <g>. Brian was Squeeze G. Man, a window washer at the Empire State Building. He has fun peeing off the scaffolding, lol. After the show we were discussing whether or not to stay for the next one (not much enthusiasm for it, though). I knew Mary would be back in the next show, but I didn't want to get home so late, so I decided to not stay. Brian came over to compliment me on the pictures I'd taken last month. 2-3 weeks ago Greg told me he had ordered prints from the Ofoto site and given them to the other actors, and evidently he must have told them I'd taken the pictures. I think there was a picture of Brian in drag - hopefully Greg got him that one, lol! The 3 of us walked out together, since none of us were going to stay for the next show. Tracy & Tyger should be back in time for the 9:15 show Sunday (after work), so hopefully it'll be a good one! I drove back to OKW and finished the report but decided to skip getting online until the next day. I found General Hospital's Friday episode on SoapNet at 11pm, so I watched the 2nd half of that (after the news) before turning in at midnight. Today followed the plan, and was a great day. Typhoon Lagoon is always enjoyable, and I was glad to finally see some of the Streetmosphere stuff at the Studios. I doubt I'll head back there this trip, but may look for more of it on future trips, as long as Layden's still working there. Tomorrow assuming I get up early enough I may go to Magic Kingdom for the Extra Magic Hour. DAY 3 SUNDAY OCTOBER 6, 2002: Who: Sue, DVC Member Tracy & Tyger Plan: AK or Epcot or MGM, Comedy Warehouse Actual: Since the Extra Magic Hour thing is brand new, and it really only benefits me at the Magic Kingdom (I don't do most of the EMH attractions or can easily do them later in the day at the other parks), I decided to alter the plan and spend at least part of the morning at MK. Besides, I was curious about how busy it would be. I woke up to the alarm at 6:30 and got ready for the day. Breakfast was cappuccino and part of the yogurt & granola thing. I just missed the MK bus, but the next one came along in less than 20 minutes. By the time we left the resort most of the seats were full but nobody had to stand. We arrived at the MK shortly after 8, and it was a breeze getting through security (for a change) with the small crowd! They had lots of characters out down by the train station and more at the other end of Main Street. Some but not all of the shops on Main Street were open. I headed to Space Mountain first, and although the times weren't illuminated for fastpass, the machine issued one to me when I inserted my pass (8:50-9:50). It was about 8:15 now, so I walked to Fantasyland and rode the Pooh ride with no wait. Next I walked onto Snow White, then had to wait 5 minutes or less for Peter Pan's Flight. At this point it was after 8:30, so I returned to Tomorrowland and walked onto the Buzz Lightyear attraction. When that was done it still wasn't 8:50 yet, so I went through the standby line at Space Mountain. The wait was 5-10 minutes, which wasn't too bad, and I got the front seat! When the ride was over I exited and got another fastpass for Space Mountain before getting right into the fastpass line with the 1st one. There seemed to be some confusion on the part of the cm, who didn't realize the fastpass machines weren't shut off (ooops) earlier. This time I had the very last seat, but it was the same rocket I was on earlier (#18) - what a coincidence! Next I headed to the Haunted Mansion, which was also a walk-on. It seemed like there were not as many cobwebs as before, but otherwise things looked the same. At the end of the ride, the ghosts who ride in your car were not working - the people ahead of me told the cm on the way out, and she was going to report it to someone. From a distance I could see empty seats on Big Thunder so I walked over there and had a less than 5 minute wait to get on. I was in the last car, which is my favorite, and it was a fun ride! The line was longer when I got off, so I didn't bother trying to repeat the ride. On my way back through Fantasyland I stopped to ride Small World to kill some time. Although it wasn't crowded, the boats were backed up through the entire last room or so, making getting off the attraction somewhat of a pain. By now the attractions that typically have longer waits had pretty decent lines formed - long enough that I knew I should be leaving soon. I returned to Space Mountain to use my fastpass, but it was closed. Instead, I rode the TTA and when it went inside it looked like Space Mountain was operating again. When I got off I returned to Space Mountain, but the cm was still saying it was closed. I didn't feel like hanging around, especially since I'd already ridden it twice, so I headed out. At the Candy Store I got a small sample of fudge and noticed they are selling the marshmallow thingy with m&m's again. I didn't want one, but it's good to know they are there if I decide to get one in the future. I left the park and went to the bus stop, not wanting to bother with the monorail & having to transfer at TTC. I was headed to Epcot, so I waited for the bus that was doing the Swan, Dolphin, Yacht, Beach, Boardwalk loop. There must have been some big convention going on at the Swan & Dolphin, because they had security stopping all cars on the way in, and there were signs that only buses & taxis were allowed at the Dolphin (lot full). It took so long to get through each of those resorts, then when we got to the Yacht Club and there was a guy in an ECV that needed to be loaded, I just got off the bus and walked in from there. Even without the ECV it probably would still have been faster to walk than to ride to the next bus stop, lol! I entered through the International Gateway, and overheard one cm tell another that the new parade route was from Monaco to some other country (forget which). Hmmm, I know there's been talk of a new country coming to World Showcase, but I must have missed the addition of Monaco <g>. I'll bet it's cleverly disguised as Morocco, though! Hopefully they won't be directing any guests to watch the parade from Monaco. Once in the park I went to Le Cellier and was able to be seated immediately. It was only 10 minutes or so after their 11:30 opening, but it wasn't crowded at all while I was there. My server was terrific (Carmen - her 4th day of serving) and lunch was great. I of course ordered the cheddar cheese soup (without the green onions) but decided to skip the wine. I'd thought about trying a different one, but ended up sticking with ice water. The soup was excellent, as always. I felt bad about the check being so small with only soup, so I ordered the kids' Chocolate Moose dessert (ok, so nobody believes that crap - I wanted the chocolate mousse, lol). I'd set the uneaten breadsticks on my plate for Carmen to take away, and wrapped the rest of the pretzel breadstick in the paper to take with me. She saw it and asked if I wanted her to wrap it up in foil, and give me some extras. I thanked her and said 1 or 2 would be great - I ended up with 5! She also brought me a container so I could take the rest of the mousse with me - it's far too much for 1 sitting, but I would have hated to let it go to waste. Looks like I won't need to buy dinner tonight <g>. With the 20% DDE discount, the check was only $5.92 but since Carmen had been so great I left $10. I left Le Cellier and went to Future World, where I was able to get right onto Test Track using the single rider line. I was seated with 4 women from Dallas who were very nice. When the ride was finished I stood up to get off, and because was the birthday of the lady next to me (& her twin in the back seat), they were getting to ride again & invited me to stay on. So, we got to ride a 2nd time without having to get off - pretty cool! I noticed then they were both wearing birthday buttons, so I guess the cm noticed it and did this since I didn't hear them ask to stay on. I walked by Mission Space, but there's nothing to see. The sign referred to a preview inside Innoventions East, so I went in there only to find a place to take a quiz about space stuff. I was hoping for information on the attraction, so this was disappointing. On the way out there was no line at Spaceship Earth, so I rode that. At this point I had done enough in the parks, so I went to the OKW bus stop and waited 10 minutes or so for the bus to arrive. I was the only passenger and the driver took me straight to my bus stop before hitting the other stops. Once in the studio I put away my "loot" in the kitchen area, and got online to post yesterday's report. I also updated today's report and had hoped to start documenting some of the many pictures take (Comedy Warehouse) but it was getting late & I decided to take a chance on finding Gus at Animal Kingdom for my friend Kathy. Lately I haven't had much luck when I haven't been with her, but I'll give it another try & hope for the best. I drove to Animal Kingdom, not wanting to deal with buses and delays. Entry was very quick, since not many people arrive 75 minutes before the park closes! I went straight back to Harambe and raced through the Pangani Forest Trail to get to the gorillas. Some of the family was out, but it was quiet on the bachelor side. I checked Gus' usual spots but didn't see him anywhere (& couldn't smell him). I asked the cm if he knew where he was, and I could tell he wasn't sure how to handle the fact that I knew his name, lol! He kept referring to him as the "dominant male silverback" and told me he was out there somewhere. Eventually he came over to where I was and we started talking, and he relaxed a bit. KJ was playing down in the water, so I watched him for a while. I heard some loud bangs over by the doors in the cave, and found Gus watching some of the others in that area. He never really came out where I could photograph him well, though. He walked around dragging his blanket, and settled in the first cave entrance. While I was on the bridge watching & talking to the cm, he rumbled (Gus, not the cm, lol)! I ended up spending around 45 hot, sweaty minutes out there, but left as soon as Gus disappeared. Even in the shade on that trail, it is HOT! Since the park was still open I rushed over to Dinoland and rode Dinosaur before leaving. That's a fun ride, and after being on the hot trail I knew the air conditioning in that attraction would feel great! When I got off it was after 5, so I headed out to the car and drove back to OKW. Once in the studio I was able to view the pictures on the laptop and make notes so I'd know the characters' names in the different Comedy Warehouse games. When that was done I recharged the camera for a while and updated the report while watching the local news. When I got hungry I ate the rest of one of the pretzel breadsticks and then had some of the chocolate mousse for dessert. A little after 7 I drove to Downtown Disney and killed time wandering in my favorite shops in the Marketplace. For a Sunday night, it seemed pretty crowded. I went back to PI and was up at the Comedy Warehouse before 8 - the line was already pretty long so I got right in. When we were seated I lucked out --there was a single seat left at the end of long row, so that's what I got! The 8:15 cast was Todd, Matt, Jake, Eddie & Chris. Todd opened with the phone thing, and Matt & Jake popped out to interrupt a few times, which was pretty funny. The guy's name was Ram, which caused a great deal of confusion, lol. Chris rang the bell for Should Have Said, with Jake starting the scene. The suggestion given by the audience member was that he'd just seen his parents having sex, but Chris accepted it after changing it to "caught his parents in a compromising position". The actors of course, weren't very subtle <g>. Jake & Matt were kids, and Eddie & Todd were the mom & dad. They'd been divorced 15 years ago, so sex between them wasn't a normal thing! Eddie was dressed in the long flowery dress, and carried a cigarette - it was a pretty funny scene. Next they did Cliché - torturing Matt. He had to guess that he was in a chemical plant, and the cliché was "Colder than a brass john in the Yukon". As always, Cliché was lots of laughs, and Matt ended up guessing the last word before getting the rest of the clue. It was a good show - especially for the first show of the night! Tracy & Tyger were waiting at the back door for me, so we went upstairs together to get in line for the next show. As luck would have it, we were in long row again! The 9:15 cast was Eddie, Jake, Chris, Todd & Joy. They started with a cute poem called Doggonit. Next they did This is Your Life with a volunteer from the audience. Todd was the interviewer, and it was a bit confusing because he started off talking about the game Operation and then Mousetrap and asked what thing from the past someone still thinks about. A lady raised her hand and said Etch a Sketch, so he brought her up on stage. At one point she asked him - What does any of this have to do with Etch a Sketch??? The other actors did a great job of acting out 2 scenes from the woman's past and one look into her future. They did her first kiss at age 13, and a previous job fitting bras at Vanity Fair. The bras thing was hilarious! Last they played out her dream of owning a Subway franchise - and her son looked exactly like her 13-year old boyfriend and kept asking his dad why he didn't look like the rest of the family (the family was all blonde, this kid was hispanic with the same mustache & hat as the boyfriend). Next Eddie came out to do a song by himself, and asked for a noun - and some classy person yelled out condom. Carol Stein was shaking her head "NO" to him, to not take it, but he didn't see her. He created this rap song about condoms that was so full of language & innuendo that pretty much crossed the line we couldn't believe it. He didn't use the word "whore" but his lyrics certainly implied it (and the rhyme was set up for that) - yikes! I'm sure the parents with kids in the audience loved that one. It was very funny - but perhaps not appropriate for here. They also did Scene Freeze. Chris had Nordic Track, Todd had minister, Eddie had bra, and Jake had circumlocution (excessive horniness). It was pretty good - they stayed away from the horniness and just focused on "excessive". After the show Todd & I talked for a long time - tonight's his last night working for this trip. I introduced him to Tracy & Tyger, who talked to Eddie & Joy for a while. Todd claimed to have eaten a LOT of the cookies I'd made, lol - and I found out he worked at the improv club on the Magic for 4 months. He enjoyed his time on the ship, and bought his wife's engagement ring in the Bahamas - he had some cute stories about getting engaged <g>. We spent quite a bit of time inside - since Todd was off the next show he wasn't going anywhere, and he's very friendly. I finally said "we've got to go get in line" and we headed out. The line thankfully was not long, so we got right in. Once again, luck was with us and we were seated in long row! The guy next to me was a friend of Brian's, and I found out Brian was in Grease on Broadway with Rosie O'Donnell (as the radio dj). We had a nice conversation, and he confirmed that on a non-Disney stage Brian can be REALLY wild! The 10:30 cast was Matt, Brian, Joy, Jake & Eddie. They did Fill in the Blank with 2 audience volunteers. Joy & Brian were embalming Seattle Slue, and Matt the cop entered the scene. The volunteers were both adults, and they did a good job. Next Jake & Matt sat & told a story together, about paper towel holders. Quite often this game isn't terribly funny, but they did a good job with this one. Of course, it was somewhat disrespectful to their fat, smelly, sweaty grandmother - who Matt injured by knocking her down when he was too drunk to recognize her. She was so fat she sweated gravy, and after breaking her hip and needing knee & elbow joint replacements as well, she ended up getting hit with the paper towel holder & was knocked down again! Nothing like elder abuse to get a laugh (kidding)! We left after this show, and walked out to the parking lot together. Tracy & Tyger will come back tomorrow night after work, so they should be there for the 10:30 show. I drove back to OKW and finished up the report so I could get it posted & not have to bother getting online in the morning. Today was another good day, and a pretty busy one! The plan was followed, and then some! I almost can't believe I did early entry, spent time in 3 parks, had a nice lunch, and of course spent the evening at Comedy Warehouse with friends. Now that all the "parks" stuff is out of the way, I think I'll relax tomorrow and do a lot of nothing - and see what I end up doing <g>. DAY 4 MONDAY OCTOBER 7, 2002: Who: Sue, DVC Member Tracy & Tyger Plan: Magic Kingdom, Comedy Warehouse Actual: I purposely didn't set the alarm, and woke up around 7:45. A few minutes later I heard Chris' dad talking to me on the (NexTel) radio, so I got up. The local weatherman said it was still only 74 degrees, so I decided to go rollerblading. Since it had been a long time (Hilton Head last March) I wore knee pads & wrist pads, and of course carried water. I skated along the Conch Trail (my friend Darla's favorite spot for rollerblading <g>) to the Disney Institute, and was gone almost an hour. The Townhomes section was completely fenced off and although I could hear construction equipment I couldn't see anything. It was kind of strange skating through the bungalows with not a single car in the parking lot! The path around the lake wasn't very passable on skates because when they mow the grass they're not blowing the debris off the path, so I turned around to head back to OKW. As I was skating across the street near the cinema I noticed that th e pavement was much more cracked/chipped than I'd realized. I hoped for the best, but there was no way to stop, and one skate got caught - so I went flying through the air and landed on the sidewalk (how graceful - NOT). There was a cm blowing leaves on the next block - I jumped right up and skated away before he could think I needed any assistance. Luckily the protective gear absorbed all of the impact and I wasn't hurt at all - I think one benefit to being a lightweight is any falls aren't as traumatic to the body as they would be if I carried an extra 50-100 pounds on my frame. I skated back to OKW without any further excitement or stunt work, lol! Back at the studio the air conditioning felt sooooo good! It's really not quite cool enough for rollerblading to be comfortable, even though a lot of my time was in the shade. I made some cappuccino and ate the rest of the yogurt & granola thing - those are really delicious! Some good news - my conference call today is canceled, so I don't have to work around that. Today is also my dad's birthday, so I called him and then gathered up my stuff to spend the morning at the pool. It was tough deciding which pool to use, but I ended up deciding it wasn't worth the trouble of driving (to pool hop) so I just went to the pool here in Old Turtle Pond. Different people came and went, but it was never busy. I stayed from 10 until 1 and earned CPE's by completing a correspondence tax course, so it wasn't entirely "wasted" time. The snack bar opened at 11, but other than 1 guy getting a soda and brownie, it wasn't doing any business at all. They only serve cold food at this location, but do cook at the snack bar at the main pool. The other 2 pools have no snack bar at all. I'd brought a pretzel breadstick with me, and ate that when I was hungry. Back in the studio I showered and got dressed for the rest of the day, made some phone calls, ate the rest of the chocolate mousse, and got online until my soaps were done. I left the studio around 4:30 and drove over to the Premium Outlets to see if there was anything worthwhile in the Character Premiere store. They had a lot of Grand Floridian clothing, along with a limited supply from Wilderness Lodge, Boardwalk Villas, and the Poly. Otherwise it was mostly the usual assortment. I did pick up a small ceramic round box with the Epcot Lights of Winter painted on the top. For $1.99 it looked pretty, and I love those lights. I drove back to Disney property and went to Animal Kingdom Lodge, going straight to Mara. The soup of the day was Mulligatawny (spelling is probably wrong), which I assumed probably was a variation of 3-bean gumbo, lol! However, it isn't - it's the chicken & apple soup I absolutely LOVED a long time ago! I ordered a cup to go, and got a yogurt & granola thing for tomorrow. I got back to the studio just after 6 so I ate dinner while watching the local news. The soup was excellent! Besides chicken & apples it had green peppers, red peppers, celery & a couple of carrots. I removed the offensive carrots but actually like the rest of the stuff, and the soup has an excellent flavor. Shortly after 6:30 I drove to Port Orleans French Quarter for a quick visit. I had heard they'd redone the food court while the resort was closed earlier this year, and wanted to see for myself. It's a big improvement! Now you can order at several different stations and then pay on your way to your table. They've got those electric menus like at All Star Movies and Mara, which rotate through pictures of the menu items at each station. Since I'd just eaten dinner I didn't try any of the food here, but the pictures I saw looked good. After leaving PO I drove to Downtown Disney and parked at Pleasure Island. I walked around the Marketplace and West Side before meeting Tyger & getting in line at the Comedy Warehouse. They've finally got the pretzel stand installed as you enter the club, but it still needs some work. They also got new refillable bottles, but I didn't get to see one (they're not unpacked or for sale yet - price is unknown). We were seated in long row, and the 8:15 cast was Matt, Jen, Jake, Brian & Joy. They opened with a cute poem called "The bird ate the caterpillar". They did Song Cue, with Jake & Matt in a bathroom at the Magic Kingdom. They were intrigued by the sensors that flush & turn on the water for you, until they realized the electronic eye meant Disney was actually watching them. They sang a country song called "It's Starting to Flood", classical song called "All You Have to do is Wish", and a really funny calypso song called "I Wanna See His Face".&n bsp; It was a great scene, with plenty of jabs at Disney, and it stayed away from the obvious bathroom humor. Next Brian & Jen told a story called "The Mad Car". They were a fighting married couple attending Anger Anonymous, but when Jen had been drunk Christmas Eve she threw up in the car and then crashed it into the church at midnight mass. She then peed on herself as she went into the church, but told the kids it was holy water. Brian was angry at her for crashing the car & everything, and they ended up agreeing next Christmas they just wanted a divorce. Parts of the story were a little slow, parts were wonderfully irreverent & funny, and overall it was the only time I've seen this new game where I actually liked it. Next they did Scene Freeze, led by Matt. Joy had wheelbarrow, Jen had Christmas lights, Brian had weed wacker, and Jake had caterpillar. Overall it was a good show. We got back in line right away, since there's so little time before the next show. The 9:15 cast was Jen, Brian, Matt, Philip, & Joy. They did Fill in the Blank with 2 audience volunteers who did well. Philip & Brian were 2 cops on a sting to prevent singles from exchanging numbers. Matt came in as the decoy while Joy & Jen were the singles. The volunteers gave crazy suggestions rather than stuff that was logical, so it was a lot of fun to watch! Matt & Jen then sang a song as the Kingston Duo - a folk song about English language tapes. This was also very funny. They did Up Your Alley about antique cars with Brian as host Wally Beaver. Jen was an antique car model named Kikki, Joy was an avon lady called Wing Wong, and Matt was a caveman named Ookla who built the first car (before the wheel was invented, so it's on cement blocks). Antique cars aren't particularly funny, and neither were the questions from the audience - it was not one of the better Up Your Alley scenes and I didn't mind when it ended. We got back in line one last time, and were joined by Tracy for this show. The 10:30 cast was Jake, Brian, Philip, Mary & Joy. The opening song was about a girl who works at the All Star Resorts and was here with 4 gay guys who were CMs in entertainment. Of course there were lots of gay jokes & references, which went over very well with the large number of gay CMs in the audience. It was pretty funny, and a lively start to the show! Most of the show was Conducted Story, led by Jake. The title was "Animal Soup Blocks Your Intestines". Joy died right off the bat, by a flower vase. Mary came in as Zelda, the vase of fertility, and killed her for not having flowers. Next to die was Philip, who died in the style of Charles Schultz. He was Snoopy, Brian was Schroeder, Mary was Lucy, and they couldn't find Woodstock so Joy was sent in as Big Bird to kill Philip. It was a fun death, and Philip dancing like Snoopy was hysterical! Brian died next, and brought up the husband of a lady who'd argued with him over buying their daughter a bathing suit on this trip. Brian played the wife, and the guy was himself - it was very funny! Philip came in as the daughter, wearing the hot pink leotard thing, a long wig, & glasses. The audience went crazy with laughter at this point! Brian ended the scene by having an allergic reaction to a banana. That left Mary to wrap up the show, and she did so as a folk song - doing it very well. The closing song was about a guy who's little girl stuck out both of her closed hands and asked him to pick one. When he did, she had a fist full of poop. Needless to say, the verses were all about poop, but it was funny. We all left after this show, but will be back tomorrow. I drove back to OKW and ate a pretzel breadstick while finishing the report. It's a shame this is my last night here, but at least I have another night of Comedy Warehouse to look forward to! I heard from Greg the other day and he'll be working Tuesday, plus I know Mary will be there and most likely Jen. Tonight we had no subs working, so hopefully tomorrow night will be the same way! The day didn't exactly follow the plan, because I felt I'd done enough things in the parks to last the rest of the trip so Magic Kingdom plans were scrapped. It was really nice just relaxing - rollerblading, time at the pool, shopping, etc. DAY 5 TUESDAY OCTOBER 8, 2002: Who: Sue, DVC Member Leesa, Tracy & Tyger, Comedy Warehouse regulars Plan: Typhoon Lagoon, move to Leesa's, Comedy Warehouse w/Leesa Actual: Once again I chose to not set the alarm. Since I already had my breakfast in the refrigerator and Typhoon Lagoon doesn't open until 10, there was no reason to get up early. I woke up before 8 and had plenty of time for breakfast and packing up my stuff before dropping the laptop & camera with bell services on my way to Typhoon Lagoon. I got there just before 10 but they were letting guests through the turnstiles - holding them up further ahead. I just missed getting my favorite spot, but didn't mind. I set up my chairs nearby and headed into the lazy river. I think I may have been the first one in the creek - and even when I got out there were barely a half-dozen other people within site! It was nice to have it to myself like that. When the bobbing waves were going on from 11:30 to noon I was in the wave pool, but otherwise I spent the rest of the time on my chair - doing some reading and relaxing. Around 12:30 or so I called Leesa and then stopped by OKW to pick up the laptop & camera. When I drop it off, they just take it from me and don't give me a claim ticket or anything. At first it felt a little weird, but I'm used to it now. When I showed back up the guy who took it went into the cage & brought it out - he'd tagged it with my name even though he never asked what it was. Sometimes they don't even tag it - they just know it's mine somehow. I drove to Leesa's, wanting to arrive in time to take my shower before doing a 2pm conference call. After bringing my stuff in and chatting with Leesa I showered and got ready for the call. After a while the few of us that were on the call found out it had been canceled this morning - oh well <g>! I won't miss spending time listening to work! I got online and IM'd with Leesa for a while. Yes, she was in her room & I was in mine - it was easier to IM than shout, lol! She showed me how to do some computer stuff, I watched my soap, and we just hung around deciding what we wanted to do before CW. We left at 5, and after a stop at the grocery store went to Animal Kingdom Lodge. As we passed Boma on our way outside we heard drums and music, but it was really loud & distracting - not pleasant dining music. I've never heard that before, and sure hope they aren't doing that when a bunch of us eat there next month. We went to Mara, where I got the tomato bisque (soup was chicken corn chowder), a yogurt/granola thing for tomorrow, and french fries for Leesa. After we ate we went to watch 4 giraffes who were very close to the viewing areas by the pool. We each took several pictures, and enjoyed watching them moving back an forth to eat from the different trees. From there we drove to Downtown Disney and parked at PI, then walked around the Marketplace until it was time to return. We found Clinta working the outside bar across from Beach Club, so we chatted with him until he got busy, and then went up to the Comedy Warehouse. As we were walking up the hill we were talking about (CW regular) David, and just then he comes walking up behind us with an arm over each of our shoulders - speak of the devil, lol! We don't use the backdoor for first show, so we said we'd see him inside. We met up with Tracy and got in line - once inside David had saved us seats next to him, just in case we counted wrong <g>. Deb was our waitress and she had one of the new Comedy Warehouse cups. It sounds like Cruzan Rum is probably paying for it, since right now it's being sold only with a drink that's mostly made from their products. Tonight the drink was Rob's Radical Rhumba - Rob's one of the bartenders, and the drink has banana rum, orange rum, pineapple rum, sour mix, cranberry juice & sprite. I wouldn't order another one, lol - the Bye Bye Blues is much better! The cup is rather tacky & garish, or "fun", depending on your point of view. We joked that it would fit right in at the new section in Animal Kingdom where they've got the tacky carnival setting <g>. These big lips & teeth protrude from the cup, but it does clearly say "Comedy Warehouse" - so of course I had to buy one, and so did Tracy. It's $8.25 & comes with the lovely drink - refills would be regular price ($6.25). Overall it's more of a souvenir to sit on the shelf rather than a functioning cup to bring on future visits. It's plastic, so it "sweats" and you have to keep wiping it dry. The old cups had the spongy stuff that absorbed the sweating. The old cups were much larger, as well - these are 16 ounces. I'll through a picture of it on the Ofoto site where I'll put the Comedy Warehouse pictures. The 8:15 cast was Philip, Mary, Jen, Joy & Jake. Before the show started Philip voiced an announcement that small children may burst into flames during the show. The sound tech then played sounds of a baby crying, followed by a fireball bursting, lol! The show opened with a poem called The Fondue Pot, which was pretty good. They did Fill In The Blank with audience volunteers. Jake was a nursing home patient, Joy was a great caregiver who was leaving, to be replaced by the awful Philip - it was ok. Next they did Cliché, which was great. Jen was tortured, and after guessing she was in Uncle Jim's basement she had to guess the phrase "I'll be there in a couple of whiles". She had all of the words & syllables, but did not "get it" for the longest time, lol! Jake came out and called her stupid at one point, and finally once she realized it was a phrase that made no sense she was ok. We stayed inside after the show - Tyger came in so she & Tracy went up to get in line. Mary stopped to see if we'd be around for the next show, and I could hear server Michelle yelling to the other servers and mentioning my name - very strange! It turns out tonight is the first night of selling these CW cups and they have a contest - whoever sells the most tonight gets a free drink and a shot. Michelle was telling Deb it was "no fair - Sue & her friend bought them but she doesn't count", meaning Deb had an unfair advantage. Ours were the only 2 sold, lol! They're not exactly going over like hotcakes, I guess! Later in the night Dee was yelling at me for buying mine from Deb, reminding me that she's the one who told me they were in. Of course, she was yelling with a smile <g>. The 9:15 cast was Greg, Jake, Mary, Philip & Joy. They did a 1-act play with Mary & Philip as a fighting couple. He had told her she looked fat in a particular dress, and since she's lost 60 pounds this year his comment really ticked her off. Greg came in as the paper boy, commenting on how "hot" Mary looked, and mentioned that Philip looked a bit bloated. To apologize, Philip sang Mary a reggae song about how she's not a cow anymore now that she's thin. It was a short but pretty funny scene. They did Schmeopardy and Philip was host Bob Headlookslikeanipple again. Jake was Decklen, a chicken plucker. Joy was Speedy, a rat catcher. Greg was Billy Nurture, and animal keeper at a mouse house for mice who need rehab for strokes, cardiac problems, etc. Next Joy rang the bell for Should Have Said, with Philip breakdancing for Mary as they continued their characters from the 1-act play. It was short & cute. After the show Leesa went to talk to Jim Roberts, and I talked briefly with Greg before he went on break. It's so great to see him back! Mary came out and was off the next show, so she & I chatted for quite a while. Eventually we went outside with Tracy & Tyger, and Leesa had one of her attacks where she becomes completely paralyzed. Luckily she was sitting on the bench when it happened, and she could still move her eyes to communicate. She was completely unable to speak or move. She carries stuff with her in case this happens, and was able to drink it through a straw after I mixed it up. Nancy came out to visit just as we'd gotten the drink ready, and soon Leesa came out of it & was ok. Tracy & Tyger were not staying for the next show, so we said goodbye to them - it's been great seeing the shows with them every night! The 10:30 cast was Greg, Krista, Jake, Joy & Jen. Greg rang the bell for Should Have Said. Joy worked in a hot air balloon place, and Jake & Krista were customers going up for their first flight. Next Jen & Greg told a story together - she was Peaches and he was former Senator Gary Heart. He had met her in a book store and taught her to read and got her a boob job. They also did This Is Your Life, led by Joy. She got a guy from Canada, and Jen & Jake acted out his first kiss outside a movie theater - their lips froze together while waiting in the Canadian cold. Greg came in as her dad. They also acted out the guy's worst job, as manager of a Blockbuster Video, and his dream of being general manager of a the big hockey team in Canada (Maple Leafs?). It was pretty good - this new structure seems to work better than any of the other new ones. After the show Greg came to chat before his meeting. I was glad to hear he'll be here during my next trip (Mary & Joy will be gone for most of the time - so more subs!), but he'll be away during my Thanksgiving trip. He's working on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, which sounds like fun! We said goodnight to the servers and headed out, driving back to Leesa's. I finished up the report and got it posted. I'm not going to bother with any summary or listing the magical moments, since I need to get some sleep! In the morning I've got to drive back to Ft Myers and go to work. I'll send out the link to the Comedy Warehouse pictures by this weekend, after they get posted. My next trip will be a fairly long one - 11 days starting November 1st. There are so many friends who will be there as well, it's going to be a very busy trip! After that I return for a week over Thanksgiving (& attend Nancy & Clinta's wedding). So, in November I'm very lucky to be able to say I'll spend more than half the month at WDW! Thanks for reading! Sue Holland wdw1972@aol.com Mail a Comment to Sue Holland |
