Loved the update (and our surprise appearance, of course)! Darting from the MK to MGM and back to the MK reminds me of another group I know well...
One month from today we will be at Disney!!!
I'm joining you 'cause Monymony told me to... JUST KIDDING! I'm glad I found you- I think you're hilarious!! Heading back to the beginning....... -Stace
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack.
I'd like to thank the dear moderators for unlocking this thread.
We won't discuss the fact that it's been so long that it was locked in the first place.........
Ahem...
Where was I?
Aaaah, yes, no Tiki Room for us.
I kept meaning to get to this, but we never did. It's now been '07 since I've been in. I'll have to take up residence here in August. It kinda looks like the Polynesian doesn't it?
I do love Aladdin, but we didn't meet him on this trip either.
It was now time for our first ride of the trip, and I have this thing for riding a Disney classic. It's a mini tradition of mine that the first park is always MK and the first ride can only be one of the following...
*Space Mountain
*Small World
*Peter Pan's Flight
*Snow White's Scary Adventures
*The Haunted Mansion
*Pirates of the Caribbean
On this trip, we decided to go visit some pirates. This decision was based on it being midday and there being a decent likelihood of there being lines elsewhere. Usually the Pirates aren't too crowded.
We weren't disappointed. It remains a masterpiece.
We waved at Splash Mountain and its horrendous line ....
Passed through Liberty Square....
...and headed for another classic and acceptable ride for early in the trip.
Who doesn't like 999 Happy Haunts?
At this point, the sky was looking ominous.
So, much to my delight, we ducked into yet another classic on my list!
Can I tell you that we have a restaurant in my neck of the woods that looks just like this picture? You can feel free to be the judge.
I'm glad my companions realized that these rides had to get out of the way before anything else could get done.
KOWLOON BABY!!!!!
This is where my DW and I had not only our first date but also where I asked her to marry me! Love seeing Kowloon on the DIS!!

Great TR! I can't wait to read more! I am from NH, but used to work in the Boston area, so I am enjoying your NE references too!
I'm so happy for you that you got to stay at the GF..it looks beautiful....I've stayed at the WL 3 times and BC, 2 times. I hope to stay at the GF someday!
Heh, you're not the only one I know who's gotten engaged there.
This afternoon, my uncle (my father's brother) passed away suddenly, and I am likely going to be on a plane tomorrow morning to GA for his funeral. By the time I return, there will barely be time to do a wee bit of laundry and turn around and head for "The World."
