I had a great time, particularly when I met some delightful Texas gals: Robbie and Clari (clarigirl) and their group of girls: Vanessa, Alexis, Tiffany, Lauren, and Jeanene. I whooped and hollered on the thrill rides with the girls on Monday night (at Tot), on Tuesday afternoon (at AK), and a little bit on Wednesday (at DHS) --which is when I had to say "Adios" and head for home.

Here I am with Tiffany, Jeanene, Alexis, and Lauren on Tuesday morning. We headed straight for Kali River Rapids (my first time ever). Alexis sat with me, and we hardly got wet at all. (Of course, at day's end when we rode it one more time, Alexis and I were not quite as fortunate -- or as dry!)

These girls are as sweet as they are cute -- and that's saying a lot. BTW, Robbie is proud mom to Tiffany (in picture below, Tiffany is on the far left) and Clari is proud mom to Vanessa (the smallest girl, to the immediate right of Tiffany). Alexis (far right) is Clari's sister-in-law, and Jeanene and Lauren aren't related to either Robbie or Clari -- just a couple more of their daughters' friends. A really fun group of young ladies.

Of course, I immediately identified with the most rambunctious kid, Jeanene, who lost no time in asking to borrow my Pirate Goofy hat -- no problem, since I was wearing my brand new long-billed Goofy cap (which kept the sun off my face nicely at AK). One of the last things Jeanene said to me as we prepared to ride RnR one last time on Wednesday was "You're a good friend, no matter how old you are." Right back at you, Jeanene!

I love this pic of Tiffany (top) and Lauren, who were peeking at me from their seats ahead of me on Expedition Everest. I rode this attraction 8 times, but the girls netted even more rides than that. I couldn't keep up with them!

Great start!

Can't wait to hear more!

On Sunday, PassPorter enjoyed two enormous celebrations -- and both involved food. Our special lunch in a beautiful private room at Finding Nemo & Friends was so much fun. Jennifer gave each participant a commemorative picture frame and encouraged each of us to autograph everyone's frame. Here's mine, along with one of my favorite ToT "meets" from this trip -- you'll see several PP folks on board the elevator -- or maybe you won't. We had a lot of daredevils on this ride, most of whom were holding their hands up high, so you may not identify many faces!

I'm jumping all over the place now, but here are some pics from DHS. Jeanene and I wanted to pose with one of the Toy Story army men, and so we did:
