I am in Pain, Star Wars Weekends is over, We drove 13 hours to get to FL and Had a Blast, This is going to have to be another Break down by day Starting on Thursday so here we Go:
Thursday: Not much to say here, woke up very early to drive down to Richmond. Met up with Rusty (one of the Tyranus Guys) and we Headed from there to FL. It was a Very long trip. Thankfully we had an Audio Book to Fill at least 6 hours of it. We got to Gerry’s Place by about 9 pm and Crashed out (after watching the “Transporter”).
Friday: Our first Parade Day!!! We woke up around 7:30 and Headed out to MGM Studios to Get ready. Met up with a LOT of the 501st guys that came in from all over. I have to say that Marching in a Parade through Disney’s MGM Studios is one of the Coolest things I have done yet with the 501st! It was such an Incredible rush! All of the Tourists Smiling and Waving and Taking Pictures. It was Amazing. After the Parade, I Went to the Hotel to meet up with Arik and Brian. We were Staying at the Old Key West Resort which was really nice! That Afternoon we Decided on a Break from the Disney stuff and Tried out Universal Studios. Sadly it started to Rain and Storm ): BUT… It was a Nice rain, and it cleared out a lot of people, after the storm Passed, we were able to ride quite a few rides really quick. The Spider Man ride was one of my Favs. After that it was a Nice dinner at the house of Blues and Back to Get some Sleep.
Saturday: Up again for Parade! This time we had the Largest Showing of Troopers, 18 Bikers and bout 60ish TK guys. it was an Awesome sight! After the Parade Arik and Brian Met up with me in MGM and we Checked out all of the Star Wars Stuff. Then headed over to Epcot to check out the new Mission Space! It was a great ride. Was very Excited to find out that one of the Pubs in England (Epcot world Showcase) Serves Cider!! I was a Very Happy boy. After a quick Jaunt around the world of Epcot, we headed back to MGM to ride the Aerosmith Coaster. Then it was off to Dinner at the Polynesian Resort. There is a Restraunt there called Ohana (Ohana means Family) and it’s amazing. All you can eat Fresh BBQ. I was Stuffed! and with my feet starting to Hurt from all the Walking / Marching, I was done. Arik and Brian headed out to Pleasure Island to see the Clubs and I went to bed.
Sunday: Last Day for the Parade. With still an Impressive showing we Did our last parade for the Star Wars Weekends. This is something that I will Never forget. After the Parade I headed back to the Hotel while Arik and Brian Checked out the other Parks (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom) I Met up with them again at Epcot (after a Nice Morrocan Lunch) where we did the Official World Tour. We met up with a Great Bunch of young Ladies that we Kept running into Through-out the Park. We had a Nice dinner in Italy (with good Company), and Headed out to watch the Fireworks Show over the Epcot Lake. At this Point, I was ready to chop off my Feet. I think it would have Hurt less. a Nice Bus ride back and we were at the Hotel Crashing out for the evening.
Monday: The Drive! Woke up at around 8 and Had Arik drop me off at Rusty’s Hotel. We hit the road at 11am with another Book in tow. 11 hours later we hit Richmond and it was my turn to solo it the rest of the way. Made it home by midnight and Promptly Crashed out to come to work the next morning. What a weekend!!!
