Our visit to Disney!
This is a top pick! This is a little late in being posted, but here it is anyway...out of sequence. We went to Epcot on December 20, Disney-MGM on the 21st and the kids went to The Magic Kingdom on the 22nd while I moved the trailer to the campground from the Resort. ...
Finally...The Incredible(s) trip is here
This is a top pick! After months of planning...because we like to plan...unless we don't, it's time for us to go. In an unusual display of responsibility, we packed the night before... because unlike Mrs. Incredible, it doesn't take us three whole years to unpack our ...
First Base
I made it! 3 flights and 29 hours after jetting off from the dreary International Terminal at Perth Airport I touched down in Orlando to end the first travel phase of the trip. At Perth Airport Qantas must be having a crackdown on carry-on luggage as ...
Older World
Ah, I enjoy the long sleep-ins that I get to have on holiday. It wasn't until a bit after 11am that I walked the short distance around the lake to Epcot. From the hotels area at the lake there is a side entrance to the park, which allows ...
Visiting Mike and Janet McKinney
So we rerouted our trip from it's northernly direction to visit Virginia, and more specifically Mike and Janet McKinney. Mike was a missionary in Ireland when I met him and it was great to meet his sweet wife, his son Mikey and his beautiful new baby ...
Half of the World
I figure that Disney isn't a bad place to start a holiday that involves long flights and a 12 hour time difference. I was a bit annoyed that my body didn't want to sleep much, waking at around 8am to kill some time at the hotel ahead of taking the ...
Day 22 - Grasping Opportunities
... and it seems to get better as I go. I had a unique opportunity today to join Nick and his friend Ryan who were headed to Buena Vista, south of Denver, for some camping and rafting. I said my farewells to Kate and Jim who'd been very hospitable and met up ...
Roadtrip - Through the Rockies to Buena Vista
... , thousands of feet above sea-level. We stopped for lunch at Leadville, a picturesque ex-gold-mining town, before heading on to our destination - Buena Vista. Staying in Buena Vista was purely based on it being a three and a half hour drive from Denver, ...
Route 66
After an adrenaline pumping 48 hours in Moab we moved west into Colorado and started heading south through the Rockies. We'd already seen the Canadian Rockies so we made this a fleeting visit and drove through most of it. When it came time to stay the ...
Day 57: Johns Hollow to Brown Mountain
Hey all, I was just going to start writing about our peaceful little shelter location but just now two fighter jets went screaming overhead. So much for that! Nice walk today of about 18 mi. Had a monster climb first thing in the morning but it was ok ...
Fiddling - the blog
... picked up a list of events in and around Lexington – here’s one item on the list that caught our eye; The Beuna Vista Fiddlers Convention we felt it was a must., especially as it featured 'flatfooting’ – no we didn’t have a ...
Road tripping through the Rockies
After our adventures in Moab, we moved west into Colorado and started heading south through the Rockies. We'd already seen the Canadian Rockies so we made this a fleeting visit and drove through most of it but it was still really lovely to see the ...
Buena Vista
... think I will even forget being that close to lightning. After that the day just got calmer. We checked into our campground in Buena Vista and drove into town. The town again small had a really neat river front. They have redone part of the Arkansas river ...
Day 1
First day: drove the 1.5 hours to Disney and checked into our hotel for the night: Disney's AllStar Music Resort. Not my favorite place, but it's clean and had a great special rate for FL residents... and the Wilderness Lodge didn't have anything ...
My first(and probably last) Easter at DisneyQuest
Yes-I spent all of my Easter evening at my favorite five-floor interactive theme park. Yes, I will probably never spend another Easter Sunday at DisneyQuest. I definitely made the most of my shift, as I was making magic all over:Aladdin(I was awarded a ...
Rachael! Rachael! Rachael!
Good morning! Today is Wednesday, February 23, and what a beautiful day God gave us! Yesterday was a pretty wonderful day, as I woke up around 9:00. You won't believe what I did next....HOMEWORK! Hooray! Brad was productive! I knocked out four or five ...
Did Brad pass his assessments?!?!...
.....of course he did! Today, I had the all-important Assessment Day, as I had to take written tests over all eight attractions I will be responsible for, in addition to a fairly substantial test about Disney Quest in general. Questions included ...
Productivity is neat!
Hello dear family and friends! There are four minutes left in this glorious day known as March 15. I actually accomplished quite a bit today, so I am pretty proud of myself. I slept in until 10 am, and it was as magical as it sounds. Then, I finished ...
Another night of "half-priced apps"
Hello friends...I love my life. It basically dominates at the moment. Today, I sprung out of my cozy little bed around 9:00, ready to take on Round 2 at Kouzzina! Oh Cat Cora-you had me at artichoke spread on kalamata toast. As many of you know, I am a ...
Lakers!
Good morning! Last night I was able to see my Aunt Penny, Mike, and Nick at DisneyQuest!!!! Did you know the DQ is my favorite 5 floor interactive theme park?! I was working cybrolators (ticket turnstiles) when Penny and Mike arrived! I have never seen ...
I've got a golden ticket!!!!
Good morning! It is 7:46, and I have a feeling today will be a tenacious Tuesday in Orlando, FL. Yes, tenacious is not the best word for that sentence, but I like alliteration, and terrific wouldn't cut it. Yes, last night, I did indeed receive a Golden ...
Expatriate Development with a side of pancakes
Good morning! Today is Wacky Wednesday, March 23! The Beeman clan, all the way from Bellevue, NE arrived in Orlando last night!!! Hooray! Unfortunately, I am unable to see them today, as I have an appointment, and then I work from 4:30 until closing. ...
Traditions....TRADITIONS!
I had the lovely opportunity to wake up at 6 am today (Jan. 19) to go to Traditions. I think I will be going to sleep very early throughout this program, as I am exhausted by 8 pm! Today was very fun, as we set out to Disney University for a 4.5 ...
Fabulous day with family!!!
Dragging ourselves out of bed early, EPCOT was the destination for the day. The Daddona's are leaving today and smartly had everything packed and at bell services before we headed out the door. Rob opted to stay back for the morning because he was not ...
Blue Skies, Chacos, and Cold Water
After surviving Del Norte we continued north to Colorado's sportsman's paradise. Buena Vista sits aside the Arkansas river at the base of the Collegiate Peaks . The "Ark" is known for world-class whitewater kayaking and rafting. Our timing was no ...
I like living in Disney Wold
... wanted to adopt me. However, I would miss Diet Coke and ice, so have no fear-I will continue to live in the United States. I worked a variety of positions last night, which was nice. I worked Pirates, Coaster Greeter, launch bays, and CYBROLOATORS WITH ...
I really need to learn Spanish...
Hola! La Salida es aqui! Tres! Dos! Ocho! Gracias! Un momento! These are all statements I utilized today, as 90% of the guests today did not speak English. Unfortunately, I do not know the phrase "If your AstroBlaster does not start operating right away, ...
A fantastic food day...
"YUMMMMMMMMMMMM." That was my most popular word today, as Laura and I once again conquered some must-do dining establishments in Disney World! woop woop! I woke up early (8:15), and worked on my paper for about 3 hours-isn't that impressive! I am ...
The Greatest Birthday Weekend Ever!
Hello! I am 21 now...did you hear? It is pretty exciting! I arrived back at Chatham not too long ago, as my parentals and Patty and John were headed to the airport, following a magical vacation in Florida. I had an absolutely spectacular time with them, ...
