Rough Riders!

There's two stories to tell in our blog this week. Darlene and Buzz and Pat and I headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios. This time we managed to "beat the line" at Toy Story Midway Mania. Darlene requested a Guest Assistance Card which turned out to be the "Ultimate Fast Pass." We beat feet to the attraction to see if our aim was still there. Pat and I ended up with exactly the same score but she held the trophy for accuracy. The 3:00p.m. parade made its way up Hollywood Boulevard so we took it in. It's just not the same without the "Block Party Bash." From there Buzz and I headed for "Lights, Motors' Action." http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/hollywood-studios/attractions/lights-motors-action-extreme-stunt-show/

They added another "character" to the show...

I think you all know who that is.

And, then of course the show just has to end with a bang...

We headed back to find Darlene and Pat and we bumped into Joan and Pete. It just so happened they were headed for "Toy Story Mania" so Darlene obliged them with her new "Fast Pass."

Of course we just had to see a show with our favorite "Landscapers."

You all know that this group really likes to "mingle" in the crowd. Sorry to say I missed their base player "messin" with Darlene...

We learned that "Mulch, Sweat and Shears" now has a "gig" in the stage in front of Mickey's Sorcerer's hat.

We got front row seats! Until they hit the base on their first song. The sub-woofer kicked in and it literally "beat us up!" The base was so loud and strong my hat vibrated on my head, Buzz felt it in his pace maker and the girls were already on the move! Wow, and I really like loud music, we just didn't want to have to hold on to the stage to enjoy the show.

Next stop it was time for the "Osborne Lights."

I'll let one photo speak for the light show...

Merry Christmas everyone!

Enough fun, it's time for a bike ride.

Once again we return to Winter Garden and the West Orange Trail. Our group continues to grow. We welcomed back Gary and Judy and Ray and Rose. Of course I asked for a group photo. With some grumbling our members slowly gathered. This time Jim thought I should get into the picture.....

SMILE....

Nice photo Jim. Now how about one of you....

SMILE...

"CLICK"....

Geesh, what some people will do to into the Blog!

Come on, it's time to move on we've still got miles to go, (at least three more).

Judy, Rose and John sure know how to take a break!

Now let's eat!

The Winter Garden Pizza Company will never be the same. (Maybe that's whey they put us in the "back room"... and then shut the doors.

Oh well, I'm going to leave you with this "Parting Shot." When leaving the restaurant my "inquiring" mind noticed something unique on these two fine, shiny new bikes.

It was these bright red saddles with a couple of big..... (er) .....S's on them....
