I love all the pics of the GMR! One of my favorite rides!

Stop.....just kidding...Looking at your pictures, I'm thinking "how come I never thought to take those pictures". I think the only time I took a non-family non-character pictures was when we were at a 2 BR at BCV. I took about 15 pictures of the room. I don't think I've ever saw the army men. What part of HS do they appear?

the army men were over by the Drew Carey show... which I have never seen, because it is never open while I am there.

More of DHS… I must warn you, I took over 3000 pictures and that doesn’t include photopass… there are over 300 that I have to go through and edit and border.















Chef de France and EPCOT...

It's amazing what you see when you look up. I don't remember all that stuff by the muppets ride.

I'm sure someone will ask you this, so why not me. What camera do you have? I need to get a new one. Something you just turn on and hit one button. And cheap, I forgot cheap.

I love taking scenic shots... that's just me.

2 years ago my husband bought me Sony cyber-shot. It's a great little camera, but the zoom isn't that great, I was spoiled with my last camera it is an oldy but goodie, but very heavy and slow.

Wait till I post the fireworks shots, they are continuous - I do love my little camera.

Did you see Remy at Le Chef's? I love all your pics. You took a lot that I often skip, because I think everyone has seen that a million times. I love 'em, keep them coming.

No Remy wasn't at Le Chef's - that would have been cool.

Day 2 – September 27, 2009

Keep in mind this is Sunday am.

DH and I got up around 5:30/6:00 am. He was off to the health club and I was off for my morning walk to the main house to get coffee. We were planning on going to Magic Kingdom and catching the Opening Ceremonies… I love the Opening Ceremonies.

With DH off to the health club, I started getting ready for my morning walk. I woke MissSMIG and told her that I was heading for coffee and should be back in about 30 minutes or so, she said fine and started waking up. The light was on and when she opened her eye she said that her eye hurt. I told her to take out her contact lens and put some drops in her eyes. As she took her contact lens off and looked up at me I noticed her eye. She said that it really hurt, all I could think was that she might have pink eye.

For the past few trips, I have gotten the trip insurance, and almost canceled it this time around, but I am glad that I didn’t. I called the front desk and they gave me all the information that I needed to get MissSMIG seen. I wasn’t taking any chances with her eyes.

Around 7:30ish MissSMIG and I headed for the main house, we were going to be picked up by Centra Care driver at 8am. We waited, I of course got more coffee, MissSMIG was on a hot coco kick and we waited. The driver arrived around 8:15 and we were off to Centra Care, which was only about 5 minutes from CSR.

I filled out all the necessary paperwork and we waited. While we waited the power went out… OH MY! I thought to myself, so they carted us off the Kissimmee to their other location. It was close to 10am at that time, so we waited and waited. And MissSMIG was finally seen, and she was given drops for pink eye. Since we had to wait for another WDW guest to be seen, MissSMIG and I decided to walk over to Walmart. It was a short walk, plus I wanted to pick up a few things.

We got back to Centra Care, waited for 15 minutes or so (by now it was 1pm) for the van to pick us up and off to WDW we go. We got back to the hotel around 1:30pm. DH was a little disappointed that our morning at MK was gone, so we decided to go to EPCOT. We got the bus rather quickly and before I knew it we were on spaceship earth. The day is kind of a blur; I guess it was because I was overly concerned with MissSMIG. I do remember that we tried to get photos at the Character Connection but the line was very long. I remember meeting up with MissSMIG and we enjoyed Ellen’s Adventure, did the orange section of Mission Space, wanted to go on Test track but the line was long and we had ADRs at the Turf Club for 5pm. So we bordered the bus for Saratoga Springs for our ADRs. We arrived at SSR – it is a beautiful resort. DH and I started talking about DVC (I’ll get into that later), he wanted me to get more information, I got excited of just the thought of him thinking about purchasing a DVC. Anyway, we got into the Turf Club waited about 15 minutes to be seated. DH had the lamb chops, MissSMIG and I both had the Prime Rib, it was very good, and the Turf Club has made it to our “Do It Again List” (so did Chef de France).

Anyway, it was around 6:30 when we finished eating, so we decided to take the boat over to DDT. I wish we never did. It was PACKED. We walked around a while, but I was kind of tired, it was a stressful day and I really just wanted to get some rest.

We had to walk back to PI to catch the bus, they were working on the Marketplace bus stop. So we waited for CSR bus and went back to our room. It was close to 9pm when we got back.

I’ll post pictures later today or tomorrow am…

Day 3 to follow shortly.
