NYC 2010 – Mamma Mia!

John has been taunting me with a surprise since January.  He told my close friend Diane what the surprise was — so she knew for 2 months!  But I didn’t get to find out until the week before.  The surprise was a day-trip to New York City (via Amtrak) to see Mamma Mia! on Broadway.

Disney 2010: The End

If you’ve been reading the blog, then you know that we did see the shuttle launch yesterday (and you got to see what I saw through my camera video), so I won’t go into all of that.
We got back to the hotel a lot earlier yesterday than we did after Sunday’s failed launch attempt.  We [...]

Disney 2010: Day 9

It took us a while to recover from being awake over 24 hours in an attempt to see the space shuttle launch, but we were finally up and around, and ready for lunch by 2pm.  The first thing we did was go check out the “Most Unique McDonald’s in the World” right down the street.  [...]

First things first.  We woke up to this monster:

We slept [...]

Disney 2010: Day 7

We woke up to this monster:

We started the day somewhat sure we aren’t going home, but still hoping that the storm would pass quickly and we could get out of here.
Our first stop for the day was Animal Kingdom where we had some “cleanup” to do.  We had missed the Kilamonjaro Safari and the Finding [...]

Disney 2010: Day 6

We started our day at Hollywood Studios to finish up the things we missed on Sunday.  First we did Toy Story Mania (and grabbed Fastpasses for later), then the Toy Story Character spot to see Buzz and Woody.  John beat me by almost 10,000 points.

We had some time to kill before the Beauty and the [...]
