My legs are so sore from walking yesterday! We actually got home a little before 9PM, but I was too pooped to post.
My grandson was so much fun. He got excited over the signs and the character shaped bushes. Finally when we got passed the ticket area, my daughter excitedly told him we were at Disney World...we all peered into his face to see his reaction and he calmly says "I know.". We felt like idiots. We thought we were playing him and he was playing us. He said he knew it when he saw the water tower with the Mickey ears on the road.
Since we all bought our season passes, we didn't try to do everything yesterday. We did a few favorites, watched a day parade and tried to just enjoy the day. It is almost impossible to do Disney in a day. But....the weather was fantastic and the crowds weren't bad at all. Only once did we have to wait 30 minutes for a ride. For Disney, that is a really short wait.
We are such theme park aholics...until we are discussing going to another one of Disney's parks on Sunday.
I won't be online until tomorrow night. I'm going out of town to visit an old friend and plan to leave early in the morning. I found as many freebies as I could tonight!!
Thanks to everyone who helped out in posting Freebies. We all really appreciate it.
I was away for most of the weekend. Went to visit a friend out of town for Saturday, then took my grandson to the Animal Kingdom Theme Park yesterday. We enjoyed the day, but I think it was a little much after just going to Disney World on Thursday. I don't know how people survive doing the theme parks for a week at a time! I met some really nice folks from North Dakota though. They saved up for 4 years to take this trip with their kids. They were having such a great time!
I had to rest all day to prepare for the Oscars. Colin Firth won so my life is now complete. Of course, when Benicio del Toro won for "Traffic" I also thought my life was complete. I guess at some point it must have become incomplete. I hope I have a long way to go before an actor winning an Oscar will complete me again.
I've only been to Disney World/Epcot once. It was in '82 or '83. I loved it. My favorite part was Epcot. Those pavillions were amazing.
I know it has changed a lot since then and I do plan to go again in the future.
I woke up to a Charlie Sheen interview this morning. Would someone tell me why anyone actually cares what that creature has to say.
I had an Oscar party all by myself last night. Hubby and daughter went to their annual basket ball night out.
I thought the show was a little slow this year. Does there seem to be a few more technical awards lately? I know they are just as important if not more that the actors themselves but they sure aren't as fun.
I had some neighbors who moved. When I came home last night I saw they had thrown a bunch of stuff in the trash area. Apparently, they had run out of uhaul space. I got some plastic plants, a tree, a riding toy for my grandson and some other odds and ends. I have no pride. Seriously.
Anyone else ever do this or am I the Lone Dumpster Diver???
GloryB I have gone dumpster diving but not for good things. A few years ago at our family Christmas party we were getting ready to leave and I realized that my glasses must have gotten thrown away. This was the same year at the party my antique necklace my aunt had given me for my wedding was missing (she had received it as an engagement gift). We did find it. Well for my dumpster diving adventure in search of my glasses I had on a dress and high heels. Not a pretty sight when you are gagging in a dumpster but they had gotten rolled up in the dirty tablecloths and we had to go through about 12 tables worth of them before we found them..I never saw a bunch of people pull out of a parking lot so fast trying not to make eye contact with me...LOL My godchild stopped and jumped in there with me.

Think of it this way, GB, you are saving the landfill.
I never actually been IN a dumpster . I'm not sure i could haul my butt out if I ever got in but I'm not to good to pick something up like that. These days it's called recycling. Good for you for adopting the stuff.
