Ha! You crack me up!

That was pretty good!!

AmyH24 · 09-23-2005

I will start with the tours....

We did the Family Magic tour where my DD fell in LOVE with Wendy. Peter Pan and Wendy took us in the back entrance to PhilHarmagic and we sat with them at the conclusion of our tour...... BTW, you can not find ANYTHING Wendy to buy on the entire property... Not even a pin.

Dolphins in Depth was awesome. I love dolphins and to be in the water with them in WDW was a dream come true.

Back Stage Magic..... WOW........ Tour was great, so much to see. Behind American Adv., costuming, creating, the X mas wearhouse, floral shop, Utilidors, Momma Melrose's... Expensive but worth it....

dznygrl · 09-23-2005

WOW am I ever jealous!

Those tours and all those restaurants! Sounds like the makings for a perfect month in WDW!!!

AmyH24 · 09-23-2005

Ummmmm let's see..... Went to see the DVC at Saratoga Springs...... Kayaking in FW, mini golf at Fantasia (the harder of the two courses), we rented one of those speed boats at FW, fished the canals (saw a baby gator), rented a golf cart for the month. Typhoon Lagoon and DH went golfing twice..... I think that was all the recreational things we did.... And of course swimming....

**WishUponAStar** · 09-23-2005

Wow, so do you have serious PDD (post disney depression) now? Or do you get sick of it all after that long? I bet you are so glad to be home. Those tours sound amazing, something I will definately have to consider next time. How long was the Backstage Magic Tour? Did you make arrangements for that before you left or after you arrived?

**Dana** · 09-23-2005

I want every detail you can remember...daily highlights, special meals about the tours...ok I'm asking for a lot, but I'll take anything you can remember.

AmyH24 · 09-23-2005

We had our tours arranged ahead of time. The Backstage Magic was from 9-4 (I think) and $199 but we got a discount because we are annual pass holders.....

By the end of the trip we had enough but some of that was anxiety about going back to work and getting stuff done around the house before school started......

It was nice however not having to rush around.... Also a nice perk was the Guest Assistance Card my dad has. It was good for everyone in our group. He did not have to wait in lines and make him feel like heck and we got to bypass the 110 minute Soarin' wait.....

AmyH24 · 09-23-2005

We did go to the Brown Derby for the Fantasmic Dinner Show. The food was excellent. One of my new favorite restaurants there. Fantasmic however was canceled that night due to the weather.........

O'hana's was my second favorite dinner.....

We could hear Wishes every night and see them from FW but on our last night there we at 6 pm sat right under tinks cable near the noodle station. We played cards at a table and waited. Lightning in the distance, no Tink starting wishes....

Peter and Wendy did tell us that you can find Tink flying around the store near the castle. Look in the chest to see her...

We did learn that the characters work 20 minutes on and 40 off in the summer. And that they are given books to learn about their character including mastering their signature....

AmyH24 · 09-23-2005

There is also a story about "George". He was a CM on POC and died while there. If you say his name on the ride it sometimes breaks down..... Well we went on POC at least 20 times (it was 105 degrees in Aug and POC is cool and shady) and we mentioned George a few times with nothing happening. I even asked two CM's about him and one said "he is not malevolent just playful"....... They did not miss a beat when asked...

Well what we thought would be our last time on it we said" where's George"...nothing happened....

It just so happens that the next time we went near POC (we had to say goodbye to Wendy) we decided to take our last plunge on POC so to speak. This time I told my Mom and Dad about the tale of George.... The entire time we were all saying, "George isn't real" "George where are you" and at the scene where the pirate is auctioning off the maidens the ride stops..... FOR 20 MINUTES......
"Show em your larboard side" for 20 minutes, over and over and over.......

They made an announcement that they were shutting power down and CM's were in waders pushing the boats in the water..... Then they said"powering up" and finally we got moving again..... It was neat to be in there with lights on......

You can Google George and CM have posted on different sites about him...
