I am a very shy person, and if the floor could have opened and swallowed me up, I would have been happy. Turns out that Bob knows them all well, and had secretly been pointing to me. I could have killed him - but decided to marry him instead - serves him right, lol. In 5 weeks I will be a permanent resident living 20 minutes away from WDW - woot!

Originally Posted By Chedstro ^^^ OK newly Susie here - nope will never tire of it. There is so much to do, what with grooming the goats at the Affection Station and just wandering Epcot. Lol never mind tracking down the elusive churro that was so easy to find at DLR and fighting off the seagulls to keep it. Never a dull moment. Susie (Cindy)

My husband and I couldn't stop laughing. It was really funny.

I'm assuming you'll get an AP, and if that's the case, you can just head down to EPCOT to walk around for fun and really take in the ambience adn see the little thigns that you don't see while rushing through the parks. I'm quite jealous!

She looks just like a marble statue. She stands on a pedestal, and torments passersby. We watched her antics for a while, and got some pictures. She held out her hand to my brother, and he put his hand in hers for the picture. Well, then she wouldn't let him go. When my dad and uncle went to get their pictures taken, she motioned my dad to step up onto the pedestal with her, and began posing him in a "Hercules" type body builder pose, arms raised, flexing his biceps. My mom began to count to three, and as she said two, the statue jumped down, leaving us with a very funny looking picture of my dad. It was great! It's her job to play tricks, but this one was particularly funny, and we have a great photo to remember it!

Originally Posted By Chedstro ^^^ oh yes and a day or evening just strolling around Epcot is pure heaven. Yes, got an AP on my January trip. Left it with Bob since he can get my VMK stuff with it. Thanks for the note
Originally Posted By NYthrillseeker <he walked us ALL OVER THE restaurant then turns around to us and goes, I'm just kidding I don't work here...> The nerve of some people!! That guy had nothing better to do that to have two strangers follow him and pretend to be a restaurant host?!! --- I'm totally kidding, I think it's histerical that he did that to you guys. LOL It's people like that guy that make a vacation more enjoyable, and memorable. And for you and your husband to appreciate the joke, it goes to show you all have a great sense of humor. Very funny stuff.

I went off with my friend's family, while my twin brother, dressed differently than I was, stayed with my family. While on a line for a ride with my friend's family, her mother shouts to her husband, "Hey, that family has a kid that looks just like ours!" and points at my brother walking out of queue with my family. Well, it was hard for me to keep a straight face, but I did my best acting job and looked astonished that I had a clone in the park. Needless to say, the faces of the people around was priceless. Many people looked at me and at my brother, and back again. Some people were actually fooled into believing it! It made for a really good laugh, and highlighted our trip.

She knew that it was a dropping ride because she saw the people through the windows. I then told her that you could get off of the ride when the story was over if you didn't like the drop factor. And guess what, she believed me! So she rode the ride all the way through and she still hasn't forgiven me!
