| Re: Bill and Jan\'s Mousefest Adventure!!!!! THREAD 3 Day 6, 12/1/2005 Updated 1/8/06 [b] Day 7, 12/2/2005…The rest of the Day… After the parade, we spent a little money in a few of the shops and headed down towards the Streets of America for the Osborne Lights again. While we were wandering around spending money, I took a few more photos [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We saw this shirt in the engraving area of the Celebrity 5 & 10 and it reminded me of someone I think I know… ![]() [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rofl2.gif[/img] Anyway, we headed for the lights and I video taped the opening and while we were walking around looking at the lights. You have already seen a LOT of really good pictures of the Osborne Lights, so I’m going to skip them this round… After we looked at the lights again, we headed for the exit and got a boat back to EPCOT. The line for the boat was long, but we picked on a family of complete strangers (mom and 2 teenage daughters waiting on a bench while dad stood in line behind us). I had fun [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rofl2.gif[/img] Off the boat at EPCOT and we walked around some. We decided to eat dinner at the American Adventure (2 chicken strips combo, Strawberry shortcake, Cobbler, Diet coke and hot chocolate=$25.93 [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] ) We sat outside and listened to the Candle Light Processional as we ate, great music!!! Off to Germany for a little wine for Jan, and we walked and wandered while I took photos… We eventually made it back to the front of the park, got on the bus, and headed back to POP Photos from EPCOT at night… ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() NEXT: Dec 3, 2005 Day 8, MegaMouse Meet, Candle Light Processional, and Dinner with special friends… |

THREAD 3 Day 6, 12/1/2005 Updated 1/8/06 [b] Day 8, 12/3/2005, MegaMouse Meet, Candle Light Processional, and Dinner with special friends… This day started like the rest. We were out of the room by 10:30 and we caught a bus to EPCOT. I was headed to the Dolphin for the Mega Mouse Meet to help and Jan was going to wander around EPCOT until I was done… We parted ways around the pin trading station. As I walked towards the International Gateway, I ran into Marie and Sarah. Sarah gave me a big hug and made my day, and Marie got that cute photo of me and Sarah… After that I headed for the Dolphin. As I got to the boat area, a boat was leaving. I decided to walk to the Dolphin. Believe it or not, at a “normal” pace, I got to the Dolphin before the boat got to the Beach Club. The boat went from EPCOT to the Boardwalk to the Beach Club. They were pulling up to the Beach Club dock as I was walking along the back of the Dolphin… Anyway, I got there and found the right floor (I followed the signs :rofl2; ) We got “briefed” on our assignments and had a blast. I got to meet and see lots of fellow internet Disney junkies [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img] Some of the pics from the meet… At the “welcome” table… Ann (disneyknut), Donna (GoofyMom), And Margo (*Pixie Dust*) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Guess Who??? ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the Passporter Crew… ![]() Passporter info ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Way too serious here… [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rofl2.gif[/img] ![]() ![]() Ummmm, Margo, I need to be somewhere… ![]() Yep, I’m listening… ![]() ![]() Oh No!!! It’s a Scary Lady!!! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img] ![]() ![]() Mark has a glowing ball in his mouth [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] ![]() I left after my shift and a loop or two around the room with Sue and crew… In the lobby of the Dolphin ![]() ![]() On the walk back to EPCOT… ![]() ![]() ![]() Back to EPCOT and Jan and I finally got together… NEXT: More of day 8 |
