jedimaster1227 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Actually we are at Epcot today! Sitting in the lobby of Boardwalk at the moment feeding KidTums. We'll be back at Epcot in a bit. --Robb Darn! I just missed you! Which park (if you are still here) do you planning on going to on Tuesday? I am probably going to make one final Disney visit before I leave for England/Ireland on Thursday... It would be nice to see you guys again!

havenli Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Holy crap, WHY did I not tell you guys that I was working on Splash Mountain for my College Program?!?! AND how did I not know that Reed was on this form, because he was TOTALLY one of my managers. Are you reading this, Reed? Hi! It's Natalie! Anyway, the day you guys were there was my very last day of my program. I'm home now and going through some major Disney withdrawals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Awww. I'm bummed we missed you. I'm sure we'll run into you at some point. We saw "Magicspringsguy" on our way out of the park today (hi magic springs guy!). And Jedi we're done with parks. We are in Sarasota now with Elissa's parents (hmmmmm.....maybe we will go hunt down Homer....) I will post photos later and I know Erik took some today too. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastGunslinger Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Kidtums has the best facial expressions in this update; she's very photogenic, like her mother (her father, not so much ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Speaking of photos, here are a few from Epcot today. I bet some of you have every single one of these rules memorized. Approaching 65 m.p.h. Leanne had "Test Track" hair today. So fast and intense. Prepare for Impact! Oh no, it looks like we are going to hit that wall. Until we accidently ran over Soren. "Sorry, Soren!" Test Track is always fun. "Tell them, Large Marge sent you!" Convoy. Here is a picture of Robb taking a picture of Elissa&K.T. with some squirrels. Totally a credit. I bet you can not find the hidden Mickey. For some reason, this reminded me of people from the UK. All I needed was a shrinking ray, so I could have earned a new credit. Yes, its quite nice. The lobby area is themed to old fashioned amusement parks. This was the first time we have been over to the boardwalk area. "I was almost killed by the Drum and Fife band." Pirate Mickey is still here. "We Choose To Go!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney Dood Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 KidTums must be pissed because there's no kiddie rides at Epcot. Just a few thrillies and educational stuff.... I have never been to the boardwalk, but I went past it on a boat, so I got close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Wow, the boardwalk area looks REALLY nice, I don't think I've ever paid much attention to it in PTRs before. Nice pictures Erik! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Volcano Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Wow, that water slide is cool! Thats at Boardwalk?? I managed to miss that somehow on my visit... unelss its new, because the last time I was at Boardwalk was like two years ago. Anyways, looks like you guys are having a fun time! Thanks for keeping us updated with the TRs and photos. And enjoy the vacation with your kid while she's that young, it will be a solid memory someday, and then another she'll be sitting right next to you riding the coasters with you! Thanks for the updates, keep us posted! Glad you guys are having fun -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 So today we were at Epcot....our final park day in Florida. We're in Sarasota now at Elissa's parents house. Maybe I'll do a random tour of this place! Anyway, we had a really awesome day! I still think it's interesting how Epcot is a park without any coasters that I just NEVER grow tired of. We spent a pretty full day there, 9am to 5 or 6, and it was just a great day! Anyway, here's some photos and video...... Mmmm.....it's like a tube of sex. Um...yeah...*slightly* too big! Baby Kristen is our little Disney Princess! "Mom, what the HELL are you doing to me?!?!?" Lou wasn't answering her phone because she was in here. WHERE THE F**K ARE THE DOUBLE DECKERS?!?!? "Mr. Happy...." yup! Should be "Little Miss No Fun" Hey KidTums, do you want to call Lou? Yay! More "fun with furries!!!" "FeetTums" It's a good thing there were instructions on how to wash my hands otherwise they would have been covered with sludge. Hmmm...what ride is this? Hey look...not even Son of Beast can do that! But she sure seems to lik sucking down that nasty milk stuff (just wait until she gets the Beverly!) KidTums is a little too young to even drink the Diet Coke! "HI DEREK!!!!" Microbrew and meatloaf will do just fine. Yay Spoodles!!! Boo for not being over for lunch. We made a stop over at Boardwalk for lunch. Hey!!!! Get back here! Where are you going with that KidTums?!?! Everything's better in Japan. "We built this city...." OMFG! THEY ARE CHASING ME!!! NOOOOOO!!! THEY WILL HAUNT MY DREAMS!!!! Random All-American Drum squad. They are kind of creepy for some reason.... The definition of "wedgie" "RANDOM DONKEY!!!!" This place just isn't going to be the same without TPR's Soren around. Hey Soren! Sorry we missed you today! "Hi Julie!" Erik the Monkey Random Ox KidTums is going to get quite the shocker at her next feeding! "Time to go to Ice Station Cool for some Beverly and random other free drinks!" "Hi, I'm KidTums...check out my on board air conditioning!" "Hi Wes, how's it going?" "I want you Wes....I *NEED* you Wes...." Mission: Space just doesn't deserve the bad rap it got. "Is KidTums Turtle food?" And the old Turtle Talk theater already has random fish and other stuff. Turtle Talk was so popular that they gave it a brand new theater! (well, it's actually an old theater, but please don't let him know!) It's totally true! Although I hope she outgrows that.... The best thing at Epcot (the seagulls, that is!) of course KidTums' first Epcot ride has to be the giant ball of cheese! Even Stitch is all "Hi, I'm a flower..." Epcot was having it's flower and garden festival so there were plants and stuff all over the place. Hey Disneyland....um....pay attention!!!! Yay! We're at Epcot....with GrandMilf! (Am I the only one that doesn't mind the Epcot wand?) Girls! Wake up! Time to go to DISNEY!!!! kidtums_furry2.wmv "Furry Encounter #2" (downloadable version on the bottem of this update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 More photos..... kidtums_furry2.zip Downloadable version of "Furry Encounter 2" And finally we leave you with one more "Furry Photo!" Our Walt Disney World trip comes to an end and now it's time for "random family stuff." Hope you all enjoyed these updates! Random KidTums shot because....well...JUST BECAUSE!!! Overall the update to the ride was "ok" but I miss the nacho cheese factor to the old one. Looks like Mexico put KidTums to sleep! At least the Oingo Boingo "Dead Mans Party" dudes are still here! That's more like it! KILL! KILL!!! Meh....too much Donald! KidTums is looking pretty excited about her first ever 'boat ride' Oooh! It's the NEW "beaner boat ride!" Boo! To the Japan restaurant for being closed!!! If Todd Long were a crash test dummy.... GrandMILF gets "hairtime" "Moo!" Test Track never gets old!

TheLastGunslinger Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm glad you're all having a fun time here on the east coast. It's a good thing you got away from the Drum and Fife corp while you could; they're a bunch of ruffians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsguilkey Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Great Update Robb! I don't mind the wand at Epcot! Disney is about Magical... at least that what I think! Kidtums is getting used to the furries so no "fingers" has been found in this TR. If Mexico put KidTums to sleep... then you should hired Mariachi Cobre to be a full time nanny if you and/or elissa have trouble sleeping Erik! Welcome to the monkey club! It fit you! Maybe I'm missing something... Did Soren already head back home? Elissa's Dad remind me of The Monopoly guy! "Pass Go and Collect $200" After you land on free parking, grab some booze with Derek! -Jeff "Deaf Roller Coaster enthusiasm" G.

Wes Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Awesome update! KidTums looks like she's having the best time of her life. Thanks for giving me a wake up call at 8:30am in the morning of the Mission: Space preshow. Nothing like being woken out of slumber by the muffled voice of Gary Sinise.

KingOfNynex2003 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 great photo tr guys! Am I the only one that noticed on the video that only 1 of the seagulls sounded like the one from the movie? You would've thought that Disney would want to keep it in sync with the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicSpringsGuy Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Great update Robb! I just started working at Disney World with their College Program, and knew y'all were in Orlando, and wondered if I would probaly bump into you.... I tried to take Elissa with me, but I don't think Robb liked that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English theming looks great with the shops and the pub. And, thanks the TR updates guys, looks like a great trip. Kidtums looks like she is loving it.

moinab Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I'm enjoying the reports on KT's first theme park experiences. We're expecting our third child in late October/early November, so we'll be hitting WDW with him/her (find out in three weeks) before Christmas! Congratulations Maureen! I can't wait to get back to WDW, so much has changed since I was last there. Stitch, Monsters Inc (duh), Tiki Room, I haven't even ridden Pooh yet! As long as it's been since I was in Florida, it's been even longer since I was at WDW, and even longer than THAT since I was at MK so... I need to get back. Thanks, Lou! Hope you'll be able to travel to Florida soon! Erik - great photos and captions! "Convoy" made me spit out my tea. Robb - you're not the only one who doesn't mind the Epcot wand. It doesn't bother me, at all, and my kids love it. We all love Epcot, too. There's such a wide variety of things to do and see, and yet we find it to be a very relaxing park, too. We like the Gran Fiesta Tour. El Rio del Tiempo was one of my 4 year old's favorite attractions - she called it "Epcot Small World." I kind of miss the vendors at the end, but the kids love the Three Caballeros, so it has been a big hit with them. Sorry to see that Kristen has to endure the snot sucker. Hope she is feeling better, soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 More awesome photos and the best captions yet! I especially enjoyed the Starship reference. Epcot is a great park. If they would somehow move Dinosaur over there, it would instantly become the best park ever. Maybe they should re-do Spaceship Earth as Dinosaur, that way you'd really have time to enjoy all the darkness with the really slow moving vehicles. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
