All caught up with your trip, I'm really enjoying reading it. You had such a great time at the clubs, I can't wait to try them in October. Beautiful necklace too - how nice of your hubby to suggest you buy both

Looking forward to reading more.

Dinner in Mexico and Comedy Warehouse

I woke up feeling refreshed but my ears were a bit squished due to the headphones on. Jim was still sound asleep, so I went online to send some e-mails. He finally woke up around 3:30 and we bundled up to out for the night. I wasn’t about to make the same mistake twice by not bringing a jacket!

Me and my Leave a Legacy tile

The view from my tile

We went back to Epcot and rode Test Track again. I almost talked Jim into going on Mission : Space ( I won’t go on it but try to get everyone else on, Yes I am very evil

!) but he chickened out. He was hungry so I suggested getting some quick Mexican food, he agreed. Whenever we leave Test Track and head to WS we always cut through the walkway near the Odyssey building. I find that not many people use it.

We ordered some nachos, a coke for me and dos equis beer for Jim. We sat down by the water and enjoyed the sunshine. Next to us was a very peculiar sight

, a “normal” looking family that consisted of Mom, Dad, brothers, sisters, aunt and uncle were celebrating a family members wedding. However the bride and groom did not look the typical Disney type to be married here. They were the most punk rock/gothic couple I have ever seen, complete with multiple piercing, tattoos, heavy eye makeup (on both) and black clothing and MICKEY BRIDE AND GROOM EARS on. They didn’t seem to like having them on so I am assuming the parents made them but then again you can never tell if goth‘s are having fun

Me in Mexico

We looked around the countries again and this time I bought DS Pam and DN Siobhan necklaces and earrings in Italy like mine. We ended up by the International Gateway and headed over to the Beach Club to catch the PI bus. It was still too early to get into PI but Jim wanted to look around the West Side.
Coming up: West Side and Comedy Warehouse

An evening in the West Side and Comedy Warehouse
It was a nice ride over to PI. The night was turning out to be another windy and chilly one. Jim was looking forward to shopping at Virgin Megastore (zzzz snore). I don’t mind going there but staying for more than ½ hour I start to get bored. We stopped first at the store that sells all the movie memorabilia, whose name escapes me at the moment. They have lots fun but extremely expensive things. Have you ever looked at the prices! After that we went over to Magnetron and ended up buying 2 magnets, one that looks just like a ham sandwich and a donut. They are incredibly lifelike. The ham, lettuce, tomato and cheese all look so real. The donut even feels like one. I don’t know what I will do with them but I have looked at them every time I go and decided that this time I will buy one.

Jim looks around the magic shop while a women is talking on her cell phone trying to return something for the person she is talking to. The poor guy working is trying to sell some tricks to a little boy and this women is yelling at him to talk to her friend on her cell. He looks at her and says have her call the store line and I will talk to her then. I just can’t believe the nerve of some people!

I sit outside while Jim looks around Virgin Mega Store and look at my watch. It’s 7:30 and time to head over to PI! I find Jim, grab him and go to PI. The first show at CW doesn’t start for another 30 minutes so we get another drink and sit in Adventures Club. Not much is happening yet there,the characters don’t come out until 7:45. It was a nice warm place to sit and people watch. I really looked around in the different rooms and noticed things that you overlook when the action is going on. Like there is a record player that is spinning with a record on it and you can really hear the music coming out of it. One by one the actors come out and mingle with the crowd. Soon it’s time to get in line for CW so we say goodbye.

The line is not too bad and pass the time watching every one dance to the music by the west end stage. Up until recently they had live bands all the time but due to budget cutbacks they no longer have them. It kind of sad to see the empty stage. One of the CW actors told me when the West Side opened PI really suffered. He said when he was at AC you could not even walk in the club and now it’s busy but not like before.

We were seated upstairs this time and had our favorite server Dee again. She remembered us again and brought our drinks over without asking what we wanted! We were sure to give her a good tip. The show opens and it gets off to a somewhat slow start but soon picks up steam when Philip comes out with the rest of the cast. He really energizes his fellow cast members! I decide again if they ask for an embarrassing story I will volunteer. Philip comes out and in fact does ask for one, my hand is in the air and he calls on me first. I tell them about the time when I was in high school and I fell off the bus and ripped my pants. Philip felt so bad for me and said “ Oh my god Jenn you poor thing”. The cast came out and sang a country song about me. It was so cute! Fortunately for the them I have plenty more stories for them.

This is Philip taken without a flash

One of the skits that was so funny. Starting L to R.. Philip as a Pepperidge Farm Train Conductor, John as a 7th year senior, Brian as Nurse Betty who is a very bitter head nurse at managed care hospital.

We stay for the next 3 shows only missing the 12:30 show. I was tired as was Jim so we headed back to the hotel. It was a cold wait at the bus stop, the wind was blowing so hard! Jim was hungry and he was in luck as Everything Pop was open for 5 more minutes. He grabbed some grub while I went to the room. We watched TV for a while from our separate beds and drifted of to sleep………..

...the most annoying bird calls known to man, a screeching eagle/hawk and a crow like sound that goes CAAAACAAACAAACAAACAAACAAA. He does them constantly ,at top volume but I can’t believe he still there, or maybe it’s his offspring. Next time you go listen, you’ll hear it!

Are you sure this isn't the recording of the "distress" call they use to keep birds away from Epcot?

Your trip report is fabulous!! I love all the PI info. I'm hoping to get there with DH in May.

Sunday January 16, 2005

Plans for today: Disney MGM Studios, Lunch at Sci Fi Drive-In, Animal Kingdom in afternoon and Pleasure Island at night.

I forgot to post this picture yesterday! Dee the waitress took this of us at Comedy Warehouse

I can’t remember what time we woke up today but I am disappointed that we are not sleeping late as we don’t have to get up with Jameson. I guess we are programmed to get up early no matter what

We called Pam and didn’t speak to Jameson this time. He is having a ball but he does keep asking when we are coming home. I miss him yet am so glad to have this time alone.

We ate at Everything POP again and this time it was crowded, people just everywhere. We ate over by the lounge as it’s a little more quiet. They have the exact same toaster/condiment area as the other main parts except it’s barley used! We gobbled down our food and went back to the room to get ready for the day.

A quick stop at the room and an even quicker bus ride over to MGM we were ready to start our day. We walked over to One Man’s Dream and then I wanted to see WWTBAM but it was taping the TV show with Meredith Viera at this time and tickets were long gone

Jim wanted to see the new backdrop on New York street, he really liked it but most of the buildings were boarded up so they could take down the Christmas lights. I really miss the bus and other cars that used to be on that street. Why did they get rid of them?

There doesn’t seem to be much going on at the Studio’s, everything is closed or being rehabbed. We did a few other things before our PS time at 11:30. We were seated right away. Jim loves this place and loves watching the old movies especially the cartoon “The cat who hates people”. I got a hamburger and another glow cube drink, while Jim got a mushroom burger and a chocolate shake

We decided to go over to AK after this as we were pretty much done with this park. We looked through all the shops on the way out including Sid Cahunga’s where they had a ton of All My Children clothes. My god Susan Lucci aka Erica Kane is teeny tiny! Her waist must be as big as one of my thighs!

We wanted to go back to the Hotel first before going to AK and the bus stop had a huge line at it. One bus pulled up and it took forever to load 2 people in scooters. It took so long that another bus pulled up behind it and everyone got on that one. This one family is at the front letting everyone go by saying they are waiting for someone. By the time we get up to get on the person they are waiting for (Mom) comes running over, I guess was shopping because the father told me that 3 buses had come and gone while waiting for her. So they get on the bus and she turns around and asks me “What is Pop Century? Is it fun?” WHAT?

I tell her it’s a hotel and she looks at me and asked are you sure? Uh yeah pretty sure! Not 2 minutes goes by and the peopleon the other side of me ask the same thing!!!!!!

I kid you not! How can you not know what bus you are getting on or where you are going? Do they just see a bus and randomly get on? Did they not read anything about WDW or even the information they give you a check in? Jeez! I don’t know why but it always irks me when people don’t read up where or what they are going to do on vacation. I guess I always want a game plan, it’s nice to know what’s to offer where you are going right?

Coming up Animal Kingdom and Pleasure Island
