| A great update, Dyan! I'm glad you've decided to continue...  You'll just have to do whichever next update feels right to you, as far as I'm concerned.

| Yay!  Glad to see you haven't forgotten this TR, Dyan. And I promise to do my part to harra... remind you to finish it. Sounds like you had fun at DCA (well, I guess not so much on the Golden Zephyr ). I love the Electrical Parade and was sad it wasn't showing during my trip, so the video helps that. Looking forward to Day 5 (<-- my prediction  ).

| It's about time..... and I am glad you have promised to get this one finished before starting your next one in oh...about a month or so!Looks like a great way to finish off your day. Thanks for posting the link to the ELP; Izzy has been asking if she could watch it as she has never seen it. I vote for posting Day 5, you could always add the video detour at a later time. Looking forward to your next update...real soon! danielle

| Thanks everyone!! Quote:
your sense of humor! I’m glad you can just ‘roll’ with things!  Quote:
 Todd!! I agree about there being more open space at WDW. Things do seem to be more crammed into DL.Quote:

Kenny!!Quote:
Cheryl! Looking back at it, I can’t believe how much we fit into that day, as well. Quote:
Marnie!!Quote:
Stephanie!!Quote:
Laura!!Quote:
Sharon!! And, thanks for the reminder in your PM!! We the Electrical Parade – it’s sad that they can’t show it every day! Quote:
Kristen! The bugs were fun!! Quote:

Danielle! I am going to do my best to keep my promise of finishing this up! It has gone on WAY too long! I hope Izzy enjoyed the video. Quote:
Quote:
Meg!! A double dose of TRs is what is encouraging me to finish this up!! I can’t imagine trying to keep up with writing 2 TRs at the same time!  :Okay, folks! I started my video in earnest and worked on it most of the week, while I was with my ‘friends’ in the Alternate Education Program (AEP), but I just couldn’t get it done. Soooo…without further adieu, we will move onto day 5…

| Tuesday, February 19, 2008 - Day 5/Part 1 Now playing: Will we find Nemo?? Tuesday, February 19, 2008 – Day 5/Part 1 We were up bright and early. (Did I mention how wonderful going westward was in terms of time zones and being able to get up early without any problems??) I don’t have anything in my notes about breakfast, so we must have eaten cereal at the resort. We hopped in the car and followed the same routine in getting to the parking area. Today we didn’t park in the Mickey & Friends’ garage, but we did park in the Pinocchio lot just outside the garage.  We opted to use our one early entry day today, but by the time we got through the extensive line, we had missed half an hour. Looking back, I think we should have just waited that 30 minutes and tried again on Friday. Oh well, live & learn. While we were waiting, we did come across a few surprises, which were noticed by the boys in the family. It did bring great delight to me, though! ARROYO!!!  61!!!  After admiring the tiles and getting through the turnstiles, we found the lockers and placed the backpack Jeffrey was carrying & I’m thinking our sweatshirts too in it. Once another guest helped us figure out the locker system (self-serve), we found it to be much easier than the system located in WDW. I also remember the area just outside the lockers was pretty interesting. There were all sorts of recorded voices coming out of the ‘buildings’. Once everything was stored, we hoofed it back into Tomorrowland to get in line for Finding Nemo. The wait was already quite long, but we knew it would only get longer as the day went on, so we got in line. We spent most of the time mixing up Kyle’s Rubik’s Cube and watching the other guests in line pretend not to watch him. It did help me strike up some conversations with others, which helped pass the time waiting in line.  It was well worth the wait, as Nemo did not disappoint. I did manage to take some photos, but most came out HORRIBLE and wish I had just sat and enjoyed this incredible attraction! The technology in the interior portion is similar to the Nemo attraction in The Living Seas at Epcot, but with being in a submarine it makes the experience that much better. We all loved it and had the line not been so long, we would have ridden it multiple times.  Upon exiting Nemo, we went over to Autotopia to get a FastPass and then got in line for the Matterhorn. We rode the side that lines up next to Nemo (I don’t remember if that was the red or blue line). The boys loved it, but we never did manage to catch another ride before we left. We planned an early lunch today at Pizza Port, but we still had time to kill prior to its opening. Jeffrey and Kyle decided to hitch a ride into outer space at Space Mountain, while I perused a gift shop and then waited at a table near the exit outside of Pizza Port. There was already a line forming outside the door for lunch. Kyle took a ghetto photo of the ride photo and then they met up with me at the table.  And, then we were off to experience the counter service restaurant we were all looking forward to. Up Next: We find a DREAM in Pizza Port!

| umm I almost rode on the nemo ride at WDW EPCOT but the car that had wheelchair access wasn't working I know for the fact I will never beable to do the sub ride again since it have been open. So Hopeful next visit to WDW next year I'll go on it. By the way I think they kinda ruin the future underwater port when they added nemo what do you think?
