I’m sorry to hear about rickys knee 
it kind of reminds me of. Lot of famous people’s upbringing stories. They were athletes on the road to free ride college scholarship but a horrible injury happens so they end up finding another love they became successful at! Like acting or art or anything! Hopefully that’s the case with Ricky. Also, let me know what week you’ll be at WDW at thanksgiving time because I’ll be there the Saturday after for a week! Be great to have a DiS meet

I said they were where they are, which was NOT by House of Blues. Steve on the other hand believed them to be right over there by HOB and in that direction we went after a bit of light, gentle arguing 
I let him and Ricky walk ahead of me because whomever got there first was going to have a little farther to walk when we turned around to go the CORRECT way..........so we get over there to the wrong end and Steve starts questioning himself and looking at me; I shrug my shoulders back at him. He sees a CM standing there and asked her "which way to the buses?" and she points (with two fingers of course) past HOB, down a walkway past the Cirque building, and we do see a few people going that way. We see people going that way because that's where all the paid transportation goes, and the shuttles to non-Disney resorts 
Now I mamy not have known that but I did know this wasn't the way to the DISNEY buses, and Steve finally acknowledged that. So now in the drizzle with my son's leg hurting we had to walk all the way to the total opposite end of DS to get on our bus. Folks, I was very kind here in my description of how this played out, the facial expressions that we shot at each other and the words that were exchanged were not all G-rated! Anyway, I count this as both a #timeandtransportationfail.
BTW last time we left DS we also ended up waiting forever for a bus it totally made us wish we called an Uber or something too.
At least he gets to have drivers ed and will be able to drive as scheduled. He has really handled it well.
I'm currently in Disney-obsessed mode since our first trip in 2 years is coming up in July, so I've been all over these boards lately.
I am starting to think any chance of you going to the Halloween Party is cursed from the get go. Bright side=better weather than August! Where are y'all going to stay???
Maybe we can finally meet up!
He had to be homeschooled for a semester because his school was too big for him to get around.
I love telling people WL is my favorite resort! Almost wore the tank top yesterday; I bought it for August but since we aren't going I'm just going to start wearing it now 
I'm sure we'll end up getting our tickets before I finish this TR and I'll post it here with our definite days, because in case you haven't noticed I don't finish these things up too quick 
I haven't taken him out yet and actually, experienced him driving for the first time last night. All 4 of us were in the car; I was in the front passenger seat and Steve & Chris were in back. He did good! Needs to work on his turns a bit 
But OMG Backseat Driver Steve! I told Ricky he might be better off with me, they just kept going at it! But Ricky said that's what they do lol
). But family comes first and that's the most important thing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Ricky. 
), Mr. Disney Expert (me) says to get the get the bus back to CBR, we first need to take the monorail or ferry to TTC (again, that was the only way I had experienced arriving at MK before when I stayed offsite. Even when my lovely wife said "but don't the signs for the buses point left?" I said "no, you have to go to the TTC first. That's how Walt wanted it", so off we went in a massive monorail line. Eventually we get to the TTC and start looking around for CBR bus signs. Hmm..that's strange...there are none. At this point, I suspect the facial expressions between my wife and i were likely somewhat similar to your's and Steve's. I found a nice CM who went up to an empty bus and said "we have another one" - so clearly I was not the only "expert" confused that night. They were nice enough to give us a private coach ride to CBR (at least the private ride is how I tried to play it up to everyone to smooth it over - didn't really work).
