    Post

    (I was going to post this on Saturday, at the one-year mark, but I was worried I wouldn’t be feeling like it, so up it goes today, a little early…)

    To my friends from the Odyssey-(Especially, WDWacky, TiggTigg5, Patricia, Imalismom, Fantasmic, JohnY, jpl, Michael Darling, Figgie and Cat, mktiggerman)

    A year ago we made a trek,
    And at hotels our bags we did check.
    We came from near and came from far,
    Some by plane and some by car.

    Meeting at first was a little scary,
    Some of us were shy and some of us hairy.
    Some brought family, and some came alone,
    If we hadn’t come at all, we never would have known.

    The friends we made, and good times shared,
    To them, nothing will ever be compared.
    We had tons of fun and acted real crazy,
    That Pleasure Island night is a bit hazy. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

    We lost boat 13 on It’s a Small World,
    Patricia rode ToT and nobody hurled.
    The pool bar was closed, which we thought was absurd,
    Then Ed’s son got a gift on the head from a bird.

    We yelled No Bad Dancing and took some bus rides,
    We rode every ride, and lots more besides.
    We twirled our napkins high and we twirled them low,
    Janet’s wet shorts were Patricia’s “Hello”

    Amy’s Banana Split wasn’t for a wimp,
    And Jeff don’t you know you have to peel all those shrimp?
    The steaks at Concourse were cooked just fine,
    And those KK’s at AK tasted divine.

    We saw evil squirrels in Epcot who posed for our pics,
    Where was JimmyC when we needed his tricks?
    The last night we had churros, and a funky gift ball,
    The week was hot as hades, but we didn’t mind at all.

    We always have a great time in our favorite spot,
    The parks, the food, the shows, even in parking lots.
    So my ode to the Odyssey I wanted to make,
    Just a little reminiscing for old time’s sake.

    Here’s to all of us, let’s do it again guys!

    Hahaha..

    Thanks for not mentioning my little fall.

    Ahh.. there were some funny moments.

    Did you say hairy?
    After riding in the front of R&R coaster with Jeff (each our first ride), we were cracking up at the end looking at each others big hair mess.
    I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

    Oh you mean when you feel over your own feet in the Mouseworks shop? (I still don't think that was a display you tripped over.)

    How about some of us carrying a billion bags of pins all the way through Epcot and about passing out?

    I wanted to write more, but I was afraid it would be the world's longest dumb rhyming poem

    Very cute, Janet!!

    It is hard to believe it has been almost a year. I was never so sad to leave WDW in my life!

    We sure had a great time, though.

    And Patricia ... I agree with Janet ... You fell over your own feet!

    Great job, Janet! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Not dumb at all!

    Of course, this has only stirred up the remembrance of the sorrow felt by those of us that couldn't make it last time... so I agree, it's time to start planning for a new meet!

    I wasn't even on INTERCOT when Odyssey happened. I registered a few days after it ended, but even I know all about the infamous "I'm here with people I met on the Internet" line. [img]graemlins/rotfl.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

    Wow... hard to believe that it has been a year since I was whining because I couldn't go...

    Great poem, Janet!! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

    I still laugh when I think about Jeff and Patricia's hair too!! [img]graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

    Yes, we need to do it again so those of us that couldn't be there can plan for next time!!
