Cast: Pogo & Patti, Experienced WDW Travelers.

Day Two, December 12th., Golf and more……. Much more.

Day two started at around 8:00 AM with a couple of cups of coffee in the room and weather reports to get us started. We had a 10:15 pickup in front of POFQ. We were riding with Sarah and Traci to Fantasia Gardens for our JQU Golf Tournament.

We only had thirteen people for this as many people backed out at the last minute. Why is it that people wanted it at Fantasia Gardens instead of Winter/Summerland and then didn’t even show up ? Oh well…. We had fun anyways. The results are listed below.

Champion : Jerry 46 Green Champions Jacket

Runner up: Robert 48 Stuffed Possum

Sue 51
Rhonda 52
Deb 53
Bethany 54
Tim 58
Traci 65
Sarah 68
Tom DQ
Patti DQ
Jym DQ
Rachel DQ

As champion, Jerry had to wear the “Green Champion’s Jacket” to the rest of the JQU Meets which he did. He wore it to Breakfast and Dinner the next day and it looked good on him.

After golf, we went to walk through the Beach Club and then to Epcot for lunch. While at Epcot, we met up with Blythe, Julia and Emma and we were joined by Dan after his real golf match. We went our separate ways and Patti and I rode Spaceship Earth for the first time since the refurbish and loved it. We went back to the room to freshen up and then to DHS for Osborne Lights meeting up with Rhonda, Robert, Jym, Rachel, Alex, Carol, Gilles. We briefly seen Ellen, Ben, Natalie, Matt and William.

After seeing the lights we went through the Chronicles of Narnia and were very disappointed by the refurbish. Disney once again missed the boat on this as it wasn’t anything more than watching a trailer for the film. Why can’t they make a major attraction out of this wonderful movie ?

Then it was back to the room for some much needed sleep.

Did you take the time to meet Prince Caspian? Or just do the attraction?

What a fun day!! Sorry we opted out of the golf... Soarin' won that round! But it was great to meet up w/ you at Epcot, however briefly... the girls thought it was so cool to see you at WDW. :D

I agree w/ you on Narnia... I was a bit disappointed, although I still liked seeing the cracked table. But more would have definitely been better!!

Off to read about day 3...

Maybe older ! :D

We were so dissapointed, I don't think it would have made a difference.

After seeing the lights we went through the Chronicles of Narnia and were very disappointed by the refurbish. I can certainly understand that. We waited "extra" for DS to meet Caspian, which was cool - but when it came time to see the "attraction", DH was like, "what IS THIS?" I had heard the first one was a time waster so we never viewed it. I don't know that you can really consider this an actual attraction!

Notwithstanding, it sounds like a good time was had by all at the golf tourney. Looking forward to reading more! :mickey:

No I didn't cheat ! :blush:

Jym and I were hosting the tournament so it wasn't right to compete. So we DQ'd us and our wives. We presented the prizes at the end.

Do you really think I would cheat ?????? :shake:
