A lovely wrap-up to a nice trip, I like the way you flipped the giddy and the nostalgic parts to make a good ending.

For the unitiated, it would be nice to define your acronyms when first used, e.g., Tomorrowland Transit Authority (TTA) car.

Interesting factoid about "teenage." I wonder if "teen-ager" was the acceptable form before 1921.

Lots of great pics, I think I like the one of you with the Sword in the Stone best!

I thought I had explained the acronym in an earlier post. And I'm pretty sure "teenager" is what came along in the 50s. I remember reading a book stating that the teenager was an invention 1950s.

I love that pic - it may be my new favorite Disney photo of me. :)

Carousel of Progress is my favorite! Didn't see it on this last trip, though. Not sure how I let that happen. Hmm.

In the TTA pics, Michael and Joe look genuinely happy. You, Andrew, and Linda all look like you have an internal monologue of "Ow, that hurts." going on behind the scenes.

I didn't see PhilharMagic on this tour, for shock and forfend! It's my favorite 3-D film! Though I did see Tough to be a Bug and MuppetVision 3-D.

And yes. It hurt. Poor Linda!

Oh hooray! It was meant that way!

When I went to Carousel of Progress, the ride operator asked if any of us considered ourselves Disney trivia buffs. I raised my hand before considering it probably meant I'd have to answer some CoP trivia. Luckily, it went something like this:

Ride Operator: Do you know what attraction first used Audio Animatronics, causing a big splash at the 1964 World's Fair?
Me: Uh...I'll take a wild guess and say Carousel of Progress.

Good catch with the "teenager," though.

Also: Where is there a Chili's left in Boston?

I think it's out on Route 1. In Dedham, actually.

Yey you for getting the ridiculously simple answer! I would have gotten it wrong, sensing trickery.

EVERYTHING takes on grandeur when Morgan Freeman narrates!

I want him to read all my books for audio.
