We are all looking forward to the trip. My kids have never been on an airplane, so its going to be fun. I'm not bringing my computer... :help: I don't know which is going to be worse.. when I quit smoking or this week coming up without a computer.

Title: Re: Going away Post by: cormy on November 27, 2007, 10:24:22 am Be sure and find the coke machines on display in Epcot, I think they are in "India". Have your picture taken next to it. Also restored gas pumps in gift shop in "Dinoland"? at Animal Kingdom I believe. (It all becomes a blur).

And don't worry about not taking your computer will still be here when you get back, Just like those poor house plants that will be dead :wow: pat Title: Re: Going away Post by: Jim on November 27, 2007, 11:45:18 am Hey, what about me...?
I know my schedule became very hectic when Dave (aka davethebirdman) visited Florida; but if anyone visits the Orlando area, let me know to see if we can get together for a chat or even a soda... I don't want to intrude on family vacations but you may find yourself with a little down time... Ken, PM me with some of your plans for the area... Title: Re: Going away Post by: davethebirdman on November 27, 2007, 12:01:53 pm Ken I had two weeks in Florida without a computer in May so I know what you mean. In the end I went into the mall and used one in the Apple Shop... Have a great time. We loved it so much we are planning on going again in June (hopefully no raging fires so we can meet up with Jim) Dave Title: Re: Going away Post by: bubba on November 27, 2007, 02:04:34 pm 2 weeks I would have pulled my hair out... A few days, I should be able to do.
I'm not worried about the plants.. I left them outside for our first few frosts at night... They don't use too much water now :glare: Cormy.. I'll pay attention to the stuff at Epcot... This is probably the park I am looking forward to the most. Christmas around the World is supposed to be setup at each of the countries... I am really looking forward to that.. I am also glad to see that I am leaving 40 degree weather for 80 degree weather. Jim... check your pm.. We are staying in one of the Disney resorts and I'm not even renting a car. Title: Re: Going away Post by: Pat Pixley on November 27, 2007, 02:29:22 pm Well Ken glad you took care of the plants, Smart thinking self watering leave them outside :laugh:.
Get some photos you know how we love photos :hopefull:. Pat Title: Re: Going away Post by: Creighton on November 27, 2007, 04:32:47 pm Have a great time. That sounds like fun!!
Creighton Title: Re: Going away Post by: bubba on December 06, 2007, 08:54:18 am Well, we made it home... :down:
What a trip... this had to have been the best vacation we have been on yet. The weather was awesome, the kids were awesome (unusual), the lines didn't exist, and the place we stayed at was excellent. Considering the mileage we put on our feet, I don't think we are all the tired. We got home about 10:00 last night, and the kids were out the door for school this morning. This time of year, the parks are all decked out for the holidays, the people (workers and guests) were all friendly and there were no lines.. We stayed at one of Disney's resorts, and used their transportation. We have more than 700 photo's to go through. Jim.. sorry we couldn't get together... I should have mentioned it sooner.. I get around for work a bit.. I'll let you know when I have something coming up that way... Title: Re: Going away Post by: SIGNGUY on December 06, 2007, 01:58:21 pm We have more than 700 photo's to go through. Please post all the photos for us to see!! :laugh: :laugh: :biggrin: Title: Re: Going away Post by: bubba on December 29, 2007, 11:30:03 am Well, we finally started going through the pictures.... We have narrowed it down to under 500 for printing... :oh:
Here are some of the Coke things I found while down there... (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/coke1.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/coke2.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/coke3.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/coke4.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/coke5.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/coke6.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/coke7.jpg) These were all in a market area in Epcot Center. They weren't attached to any country.. they were outside what they called a Trading Post. (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/coke%208.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/button.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/sign.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/sign2.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/gas%20pump.jpg) (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/never%20nox.jpg) These were mostly in MGM... I think one may have been in Animal Kingdom.. Title: Re: Going away Post by: bubba on December 29, 2007, 11:35:33 am Here is a pretty cool picture of the Magic Kingdom as it is getting dark.. This is supposed to look like ice. The pic doesn't really do it justice, but it is still cool looking..
(http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/disney%20ice.jpg) And last one for now, is a pic of the sign that shows wait times for attractions in Epcot. This was definitely the time of year to go.... (http://www.groelfamily.com/ken/disney/wait%20time.jpg) Title: Re: Going away Post by: TomFromJersey on December 30, 2007, 09:53:03 pm Nice pics Ken. Glad to hear you had such a good time.
