Great start, Terri! I know the feeling about trying to get work done just before a trip. It's totally impossible to concentrate!

Glad you enjoyed your dinner at the Plaza. It's a place DH would like to visit.

More please!

I love that the CLT® gets a shout-out in this TR and we haven't even "met up" yet on the trip...

Heee!

Glad you're doing a report, Terri! (Seeing as how the other two-thirds of the CLT® have been totally lame about TRing our hilarity... and I wasn't planning on doing a Mousefest TR so I could just concentrate on the Two Chips and a Dip TR... Hmmmmph!)

Please be kind about my hollering like a banshee on Everest!

Great start Terri! I have been avoiding reading TR's lately until I got mine started. I'm glad that you haven't gotten too far yet. I'm looking forward to more with hopefully Lesley piping in. It was really a pleasure meeting both of you but more on that later.

What do you do when you are stuck in an airport with two more hours to go??? How bout a TR update (maybe two??)

Fireworks photos - as promised -








After fireworks – we headed to the exit. I was supposed to follow Lesley and Mitzi to the Off-site condo – a Hilton Vacation property, not far from the Premier outlet mall. I noticed (and took bad pictures, which I deleted) that NONE of the garland was hung on Main Street and the Christmas tree was not in town square – even though the parade show taping was over. As we exited – we decided to take the little boat from the MK to the Polynesian and then walk to the TTC to catch the tram to the cars. I cannot remember why that was the route we chose – was the express monorail not operating?? I know there was one night at MK that all guests going to the TTC were told to head for the ferry.

While we waited for the little boat (there only seemed to be one or two running – so it took a bit of time) – we saw the Electric Water Parade finish at the Grand Floridian – and as it passed the MK ferry area – the lights turned on – so Mitzi got to see a little bit of that.




We made it over to the Polynesian – where Lesley practiced her “stop, drop and roll” technique as she got off the boat. She tripped walking along the dock – but was successful in not hurting herself as she fell. We could see some of the holiday decorations at the Poly – and I showed Lesley and Mitzi the hidden Mickey in the stone of the lobby floor. We walked to the TTC – I headed to my car with directions from Lesley on how to get to the condo – we separated and I headed out to meet them.

I arrived a little before they did – and the guard would not let me in – I had to call Lesley to get the unit number – and when he called and she did not answer – I was refused entry until she pulled up and I followed her in. Wonder if flashing my Hilton Hhonors Diamond card might have helped? Doubtful.

We headed up to the main building to stop and get some items for breakfast the following morning (bagels and fruit salad if I recall correctly) and then we headed off to the room. I unloaded my bags from the car and we settled in for the evening.

Next - A LONG day with TONS of Passporters!!!
