...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?

I didn't know they had that! It makes sense now that I think about it! Really how could the same bird be there year after year!

I just read your entire trip report so far! You are so hilarious!! Can't wait to read more!!!!

**Colexis Mom** · 03-22-2005, 07:06 AM

Another great installment

Okay, I can't believe those people got on the wrong bus

They must have thought that the bus would take you anywhere you wanted

More please

Jenny, I don't understand those 'random bus' people either! We run into them at least once a trip. I think there are still tons of people out there who think that Disney World is like Great Adventure.

Great update! I love those glow cubes too and have quite a collection of them!

**DrDolphin** · 03-22-2005, 08:10 AM

Another great installment Jenn!!! I like the glow cubes too - but give them to the kiddos!!

I can't believe those random bus people either, what were they thinking

Oh well, they gave us a good giggle so I guess they served their purpose

What is Pop Century and is it fun?

That cracks me up!

Animal Kingdom and Pleasure Island

We watched all the people that asked us what Pop Century was get off the bus and look around and say this is it? HUH, why would I lie? We picked up our packages at the store then went back to our room for a little rest. Actually we didn’t really rest just freshened up a bit, it’s amazing how much that can re-energize you.

Back to the bus stop and on to the AK bus. Not that many people getting on as it’s only a couple more hours til the park closes. We get to the park and head right over to Dinoland and on to Primeval Whirl. Jim and I get our own car and each take a side. I soon find out without another body next to yours you slide back and forth which add to the scariness. I didn’t like that too much! We also went on Dinosaur and acted terrified when our picture was taken but didn’t buy it.

We walked around and decided that we really didn’t feel like doing anything else but the jungle trek. Those dumb tigers were still sleeping!! I swear to god I am going to bring in some fireworks to wake them up! Maybe then I will see them swim or play with their ball.

I guess at this point we took the bus to AKL and looked around. We stayed here in September 2001 for my 30th birthday, unfortunately it was only 9 days after 9/11 when we came down and was extremely quiet. The smell of the BBQ was driving me nuts, I was only 9 weeks pregnant when we came in 2001 and was just starting 4 months of constant sickness so I must associate the smell with throwing up all the time.

We caught the DTD bus at AKL and went to have dinner at the Earl of Sandwich. I held a table while Jim ordered for us. He grabbed a soda and a beer from the cooler from the side then got in line. Almost to the register to order an employee came up to Jim and basically yelled at him for taking soda and beer from that side of the restaurant.

What is that about? I looked at the cooler again after Jim sat down and am 99.9% sure that it is part of the store so why can’t you bring up the drink that you are paying for when you order? I couldn’t finish my sandwich but Jim was able to chow down his and the rest of mine.

In the Adventures Club Main Salon

Jim in the same place, just the other side

We shopped around for a while in all the stores but didn’t buy anything. We headed over to PI just in time for the joint to open. We went over to AC and took some pictures but they didn’t come out even with the flash. We saw a big commotion going on as the actors that were playing the parts of Hathaway Browne, Sugar Snap the Maid, Pamiela Perkins and Samantha Sterling came out. All the “regulars” were talking to them in tight circles and looking very upset. Come to find out all those actors were just let go and being moved to other parts in WDW. What an uproar that has caused on a AC board that I belong to. People were emailing the president of WDW, the president of PI and the list goes on about how unfair it was for their actors to be fired. The letter writing campaign didn’t work. Ok I like AC and CW but if an actor was let go or left I would be bummed but jeez lighten up people. I guess when you are an actor that works for WDW you dream of getting into the AC or CW casts as they are at the top of the food chain and anything else is considered a step down.

We got in line for CW and this time didn’t get any drinks. We were really far back and got seated way towards the back. Right below us was a guy that thought he was so funny he keep asking his friends “are we going to heckle them”.

Oh god I wanted to scream! How old are you? His friends wisely ignored him and luckily for us he didn’t heckle them. What a jerk to even think that. He did get on stage though, they asked for someone who was an expert on something and he said he was an expert on hockey. He was trying to give funny answers but the actors just cut him to shreds!

I love it! The audience was laughing at him not with him and he walked back to his seat a little smaller..hehehehehe.

We got back in line for the next show and this time seated a little closer to the stage, but behind us was a very drunk and very loud guy. He kept thinking he was funny and laughing so hard at his own jokes (which they weren’t)

. Security came by at stood near him while one of the bouncer type guys came over and talked to him. He calmed down a bit until the show started and they called someone on one of the phones. They asked for the women’s name and before she could say anything the moron screamed “ugly”.

Everyone in my section turned around to stare at him and he looked down the floor and kept quiet the rest of the night. Besides the jerk the show was great. I didn’t offer up an embarrassing stories this time, could it be that I because I didn’t have any drinks I didn’t have the courage? Maybe I was tired

. We stayed for the next 2 shows before calling it a night. Oh am I going to miss this place!!

The bus ride home was quick and the worst part was when they turn on the lights! Wowee does that kill your eyes. I climbed up the 4 flights of stairs with a heavy heart, it was my last night in WDW. Tomorrow I would be going back to Mommyhood and have to leave my singleton side in Florida.

Another great update Jenn

I'm sorry it's coming to an end

Jillybean · 03-23-2005, 10:29 AM

Oh no!!! That was your last day???

Jill

**DrDolphin** · 03-23-2005, 11:51 AM

Gret update Jenn!!! Wow - what drunk jerks at CW!!

Tara O'Hara · 03-23-2005, 02:40 PM

Jenn, what a yucky dude at CW!!

I can't stand when people act like that! The rest of your night sounded great though!

Going home

The day I always dread on any vacation, going home day. We got up pretty early today, they town car would be coming at 10 to pick us up. We showered and changed and went down to have one last breakfast at Everything Pop. We sat in our usual place and had a peaceful breakfast. I called Jameson and he seemed to understand that mommy and daddy were coming home today. When we got back to our room we finished up packing and hung around for awhile. Jim is always a stickler about making sure nothing is left in the room, so he looks in every draw 2 million times, under the bed etc. Only once did I almost leave something behind ( a wet bathing suit on the back of the door) so since then he feels like he has to check up on me GRRRRRRR

We had the same town car driver as last time which was great. He talked the whole way back to the airport. Check in was a breeze at the Southwest counter and we had no fog to contend with this time, although I was secretly hoping for a snow storm in the northeast to strand us here!

On the plane ride home I watched my DVD’s again while Jim listened to his Ipod. I fell asleep for most of the flight, which is only a handful of times I have done so. Jim always manages to sleep. We landed on time and I got the luggage while Jim went to get the car. It had a couple of inches of snow on it so it took him a little longer to get the car. I called Pam to let her know I would be to her house in 1 ½ hours. Jim picked me up curbside and 15 minutes later we were home. The cats missed us and our fish tank was half full due to evaporation but Keebo seemed to fair well with his vacation feeder.

I literally dropped the bags at the door and took off to Pam’s. Jim had to go into the office and finish up some lab cases so I went alone to get Jameson.

As I got closer to Pam’s house I couldn’t wait to see Jameson and pictured him running into my arms yelling “Mama your home”. I ran up Pam’s steps to the front door flung it open to find Jameson running towards…..his cousin Terrence. I said Jameson I’m home! He looked at me and said hi and started playing.

We chatted for awhile and I gave Pam and DS Siobhan the gifts I bought them (my nephews didn’t want anything). I told Jameson it was time to go and he didn’t want to leave! He was king of the household over there and didn’t want to go. But when I said daddy was waiting he quickly changed his mind and ran to get his coat on.

Back home Jim and Jameson had a great reunion and we opened all the presents we brought back to him. His favorite was his new Captain Hook hat and sword. 30 minutes later it business as usual, laundry, cleaning up spills, tripping over toys….oh well I wouldn’t trade it for a thing, ’cept maybe for another WDW trip
