The Bold & The Beautiful:The Tale of Some Crazy Vikings!! NEW 10/29 Pg 20!!

[sheridac]

Chapter 1 – Good Food, Good Wine, Good Friends = Great Times!!!!!

A little trip report back story. Because we all know every story needs a back. And. As far as I’m concerned. You can never have too much. Back story. TFI. The WHY of the trip. Which is the real meat and potatoes. Unless you’re a vegetarian. Otherwise just use it as an analogy. :teeth:

If you want the whole, long, but highly entertaining back story go here. To The Pre-Trip Report. The Bold & The Beautiful:The Tale of Some Crazy Vikings - A Pre -Trip REPORT!!! (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1212656)

Otherwise you’ll take what I give you. And like it. :teeth:

So. To launch this ship properly. I’ll start. At the end. Just to be different. Because I am. Different. TFI. I am also loveable. Cute. VERY sassy. Witty. And. I have MAD SKILLZ. Which you will soon see.

But. I have a short attention span. And digress. A lot. Like now. See???!!!

Here is my WHY. My back story. My Trip Report. My way. And. A picture speaks a thousand words. Someone said. So. Here’s mine:

And this:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/untitled-4.jpg

And now for the beginning……

I’ve made many, many really good friends in the short time I’ve been here. On the Dis. One is always fighting a losing battle for his wallet. One fought a losing battle with her bowels. And taught us that art really does save lives. :teeth:

Some are Silli. One is a fixer. One is an animal lover. One loves Melooons!!!!! One says she is a meeeaaaan momma (but I know better)!!!!. One makes me wanna LaLa. In the kitchen. On the floor…..

Then there’s The Sisters of Insanity. So dubbed by Zzub. Henceforth to be refered to as J. ‘Cause that ‘s what I call him. He answers to it. Too. Try it, he likes it!!! Trust Sher!!! ;)

Anyways. The Sisters of Insanity are my sisters. In every way. But blood.

There’s my GramGram. Who makes me PMP with hysterical laughter.
Jami who showers us all with her sweet love.
Horseybabyborgtwinsiswiththegoldenblondetresses. Who really is. Just that. To me.
HaleyB. Who is just as silli as Silli in general is.
And Sid!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My lil’twinsis. Love her!!!!!!!!!!!

We are the Nutwings of the Vikings. Of which I am The Commander. Even tho that dang Tag Fairy ALWAYS gets it WRONG. It’s TRUE, I AM!!!!

And ALL the other Vikings. Of which there are. MANY. Most of whom you will all get to meet. We are a merry band of Vikings. All are unique. And special. In EVERY way. And. Of course. THEY ALL LOVE ME!!!! It’s because I am so loveable. That’s also a mad skill. TFI.

Also. I KNOW they’ll ALL be contributing. To this trip report. Enhancing it. As they rightfully should. They are the cast of characters, after all.

All are friends. Really, really friends. Friends I’ve had the pleasure to meet. At The Happiest Place on Earth. In OUR Laughing Place. Some I may never meet. It’s true. But. That’s all right with me. I know that they know that I know that they know that I know that they know that they love me!!!!!!

But I digess. Again. See?? I told you tho. Properly warned ye be and all that. :rotfl:

I can’t possibly give the whole back story of how our Viking friendship came. To be. Because I don’t really remember!!! Short attention span, remember?? (knocks reader on head)

Besides. The however we all came to be. Doesn’t matter.

We come from different backgrounds. Different geographic locations. Different religions. Different life philosophies. We are different. In many, many ways.

And. Here some would say despite that. I say BECAUSE of that.

We became friends. And. We are all. Every one of us. Each in his/her own way.

BOLD. And. BEAUTIFUL.

Inside and out.

We are there for each other. Thru thick and thin.

We have laughed with each other. A lot. DO WE EVER!!!!!

We ((((SLAP)))) each other. We ((((SLURP)))) each other.

And. We’ve shared the heartache too. We are THERE for each other. Always. Day or Night. Night or Day. Really, really.

And. I'm just sayin' - if (any of) you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for a beer. :teeth:

We are a loony, mad crazy group of friends-for-a-life-time.

Oh. And we have a mascot!!!! He’s been to the World. And around the world.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/44d211da.jpg

His name is Pluto. We call him Plutopants. As in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Plutopants. And travel he has!!!!

As of this writing Plutopants has had 8(ish) (math is not my friend, TFI!!) trips to WDW. He’s stayed at the Boardwalk with MelHappyaunt. Been to the Poly three times so far, with Brandt79, MommyP and DisFan3. He’s been to Pop, off-site (oh, the inhumanity!!!) and Old Key West with YAK. The Beach Club with Minnie. And the Contemporary with Horsegirl. And traveled to Pop with yours truly!!!!

Anyhoo. It soon came to light that several of us would be. At the same place. At the same time.

And. I am NOT one to be left out. EVER!!!!! After all, EVERYONE loves me!!!!

And. IT’S NOT A PARTY WITHOUT SHER!!!!!!! So. I was IN bay-bee!!!!!

Here’s the thing. Though. Mr. Sheridac is a VERY protective kind of guy. So. I could not go alone. And he could not go with.

LIGHTBULB!!!!! Good friend B!!!! One quick phone call later and B is in Bay-bee!!

And. SCORE!!!!!!! Free Dinning (hi J!!)!!!!!

In addition to scoring FREE DINNING!!!!! There was also the major SCORE of the F&W Festival.

SCORE AGAIN BAY-BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now. Where In the World?? Decisions, decisions. I like to research.

Another MAD SKILL, TFI.

I read the Dis. I surf the Community Board.

(True or False: If I were to stand on high ground in Key West with a good pair of binoculars, I’d be as informed as I am right now.)

We all have out favourite places to stay. The Holiday Inn. Off-site. :teeth:

Come down off the ceiling now. We’ll wait…… I’ve got nothing to do.
Just like a writer on a movie set.

There now. That’s better. Continuing on…..

Some people love POR. Some love the Poly. Some love the Wilderness Lodge.

Some love to camp. Can I just now here say EEEWWWWW??!!!!!

But. The decision was an easy one. I chose Pop. For several reasons:

432.ii) Most of these crazy nutwings are staying there.

J) I have always wanted to stay there. Doesn’t it look like fun, fun, fun??? I can twister with the best of them. Twist and shout too. Twist off caps?? Not so much though. Twisty-ties??? Those I can do.

One quick(ish) call to the WDW Travel Company utilizing that handy-dandy toll free number (my mama didn’t raise no fool!!!)

And. I was booked.

Good Food, Good Wine, Good Friends = Great Times!!!!!!!!

[horsegirl]

I'll chime in here! This might turn out to be a unique report like it's unique OP. We want to share our tale of our 3 hour tour....which was actually more like 5 days...I am nutwing #3, a Maelstrommer, or strommer, if you will, a sister of insanity, though I am sane....and one of the many Dissers that met for this epic meet. More later. Great start, Sheridac! :thumbsup2

[javamom]

Not an official nutwing, but a nut just the same. It was great to get to meet my DISfriends, the Maelstrommers!

Mad Skillz, Sher can't wait to read about the stuff that I didn't get to be there for! LYMI

[jamal]

Nutwing #4 reporting to say...great start, Commander!

Our plans and our meet were divinely ordained, IMHO. None of us would have guessed a year, or even six months ago, we would set sail together.

This Sister of Insanity had Pluto for a home visit over the summer. He looked all fresh and fluffy then. Things have been somewhat rough for our little mascot, though, and he has been around the block. How much do we love Pluto? Enough to let him ride up front with us when we............

.........you'll have to keep reading Sheridac's tale to find out about Plutopants' ride.

[kpk89]

Yes it is true. The mad skillz have been witnessed. By me.

Can't wait to read the rest of the report, Sher!!

[drebert]

Awesome start Sher!

I'm glad I was around for part of the ride. And what a ride it was!

Give Plutopants a big slurp for the BergBerts!

[UtahMama]

FABULOUS! I'm so excited to read your Offical Trip Report! I've been waiting!

I'm so amazed about the friendships that are formed here! SO many different personalities, opinions, and styles! It's a box of chocolates...some are nuts, some are just plain, some are fruity, some are sticky, but they're ALL good .

Try to explain the "inside joke" stuff so we all feel included, OK? :goodvibes


Love Ya OOOoooodles, Sher!!!!

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[pongoperdigirl]

Can't wait for more Sher.

As half of the official Radio, I can't wait.
Love ya my viking sista!
Even though I am not a nutwing.

[sleepydog25]

Way to go, oh chestnutnagwing commander! Diss my beloved WL right out of the gate. You say, "well, I didn't diss it, I just didn't stay there." Same thing. Savvy? But. I shall continue to read if only to see if you can salvage some semblance of sanity. . .say that five times quickly. . .now. . .it's time for coffee. . .lots and lots of coffee, I fear. . .

[ZZUB]

Wow!

What an amazing start. Even if I didn't "know" some of you guys, I'd still be very interested in this Trip Report. It's got several of the ingredients (mmm, ingredients [drool]) which make a good TR. Good writing, meandering digressions, back story, weird expressions (TFI=FYI for the three of you who don't read Mel's TR), pointed references to other Trip Reports, and of course, quotes from The West Wing.

If only you had Yoo Hoo on tap. I'd be fully down.

I'm glad you're undertaking this endeavor, Sheridac, and I hope the rest of the Maelstromers who met up with you guys chime in here as well. I know lots of us are looking forward to reading about your adventures.

Now then, I'm off to try to find the finest muffins and bagels in all the land.

:moped:

[sheridac]

Oh, rats!! You're right J. I forgot the legend.

Legend
TFI = FYI
PMP = Pee my pants
Dinning = Dining

[NAB]

And who knew she was a funny writer too....I did

Sheri such sweet words too. How can we not love ya...

Can't wait for more. Who needs notes you have a whole clan to help you to remember and offer their side. This should be good.....

Great start to your report and I look forward to reading the rest. And I especially look forward to more pics!!

What a perfect start Sher :thumbsup2

Though I couldn't make the meet and missed out on meeting all of you IRL I can't wait to here all about it :cool1:

We had sooooooo much fun with Plutopants when he stayed at the BC with us. I can't wait to read and see all the fun he had with you :banana:

Hi Minnie!! Thanks for stopping by!!!

[Backstage_Gal]

Sher! How the heck did I miss you posted this last night???????????

Great start to the story. Glad I got to meet some of the gang, if only for the one day.

It's great fun to reread some of the background. All the Vikings are super cool people, too, including the new ones!

[Disneyland_Mama]

Girl, you are fun--nay! :thumbsup2

I heard you had MAD SKILLZ and MAD SKILLZ, you have! :smooth:

I'm hooked, lovin' your TR style!

Now, off to find that pre-trippie, so I can pretend I'm in the "in crowd"!

[bratus913]

Sounds like a fun group - wish hucifer and I were there with you guys!! I can only imagine that adding another couple of nuts to the can only makes things crazier!!

Although is this TR going to drag out ala hucifer??? I don't think I can handle another one of those!! :faint:

[Minnie_Moo]

So I'm reading along and what ad should pop up, Sher?

Get your Life of the Party T-Shirts Here!!!!!!!

They've got your number, that's for sure!

Loving the trip report so far. Thanks everyone for sharing all your pho-toes and stories over on M2. It really helped those of us who were left behind make it through the week while you were away!

Not that we didn't make our own (mostly editless) fun, mind you!!! ;) :sunny: :rotfl:

Hey Brat!!!!!!! ((big grin)) I KNOW!!!!! You two have DEFINITELY got to be in on the next voyage!!!! I KNOW you would have been in on the 11:52 pm mad dash to Splash Mountain in cocktail dresses!!!!!!

And. It may. I'm not sure. I like to talk. A lot. Which translates to I like to type a lot. And. You may not have noticed. But. I also digress. A lot. Too. These are MAD SKILLZ though. Embrace them!!!!

Hey Moo!!! Ahahahaha!!! That's so funny!! And. You're entirely welcome!! We missed EVERYONE who couldn't come. Even that yoo hoo sucking baldy!!!! EMBRACE the balditity J!!!!!!

Hey Marita!! I'm tricky that way!! Mad skillz, ya know!!!

[sheridac]

I figured I needed 4 bags. For 6(ish) days.

I don’t got much junk in the trunk but I gotta lotta junk in the bags.

TFI

There’s my shoe bag. (Eight pairs for 6 days. I’m ashamed of myself!!!!!! What was I thinking when I left that ninth pair home????!!!)

And my cosmetics bag. (This is AmEx to me. NEVER leave home without it!!)

And my clothes bag. (Seven-teen outfits for 6 days. I’m ashamed here too. So many loverlies got left behind!! I am not a good marine!!!)

And my carry-on.

Plus my purse.

And.

My laptop.

For the live(ish) portion of this TRIP REPORT. Courtesy of Cap-i-tain Amazing - Loubon. HI LOU!!!!!!!!

Which you can find here: http://the-bold-and-the-beautiful.blogspot.com/

But. Here’s the thing.

I COULDN’T BRING LIP GLOSS OR MASCARA IN MY CARRY-ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, the inhumanity. Of it. All.

Can I possibly survive a flight of an indeterminate number of hours (hi J!!, Look how good I’m being!!!)

The answer is NOT!!!!

I can carry on a cork screw. But not lip gloss.

I can carry on a cigar cutter. But not mascara.

Knitting needles - yes. Liquid eyeliner no.

WHO WROTE THESE RULES ANYWAY????

So. I put my mind to solving this dilemma for myself.

What would Paris do?? :rotfl2:

And looked at the list again.

And.

To what do my wondering eyes should appear????

A gel-filled bra. Is A-ok. Well. Hot Snot!!!

LIGHTBULB!!!!

I will purchase one of these puppies. De-gel it. And re-gel it.

Lip gloss on the Left. Mascara on the Right.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!! :teeth:

But then. The TSA lightened up. On that whole plot to make women feel less than gorgeous. AS IF!!!!!

So. One box of clear, zippy-top, quart-size baggies later and DISASTER AVERTED!!!!!!

Hmmmm. I did entitle this chapter “Everyone Loves an Irish Girl” didn’t I???

Is it still a digression when the WHOLE thing is off topic???? A sort of SUPERNOVA of digressions????

Oh well. I hate to put it this way but I'm me and you're you and we're done when I say we're done. :teeth:

Movin’ on……..

The Arrival Day Outfit is a pretty important decision. TFI. IT IS!!!! Trust Sher.

Here’s why. Unless you have The Maddest of MAD SKILLZ (yes, I know I DO, but most people do not. I’m just sayin’!!!), your room is almost never ready. When you check in.

And. Unless you have a super good reason. Like 4 kids, 6 backpacks and a diaper bag and a collapsible stroller that refuses to collapse which also smells. Or you arrive at midnight. You go to a park. On your arrival day. You know you do.

I’m just sayin’.

So. The Arrival Day Outfit is KEY!!!!!!

Because. You wanna look cute, right??? But be comfy. And. Not cold where you’re coming from. But. Not hot when you get there.

Get it????

So. I chose a most favourite t-shirt. My “Everyone Love an Irish Girl” t-shirt. Because. After all. Who doesn’t, really??? ;)

With shorts. And flip flops. And a sweater. In my carry-on. ‘Cause while it was 90 in WallyWorld it was 60 in Sheri-land!!!!!

And. This t-shirt has MAD SKILLZ all on its own. IT’S TRUE!!!!!! Those skillz are enhanced by MY wearing it. Of course. Here. Read further. Trust Sher!!!!!

So. At the crack of itssoearlyonThursdaymorningitsreallyWednesdaynight , also known as 4:30 am, we high-tailed it to the airport. For to get out of Dodge.

Segway.

Inevitably whenever I travel I am ALWAYS searched. My bags. My self. I am wanded, patted down, practically strip searched and wanded again. It’s my magnetic personality. I think. ‘Cause I don’t look like a terrorist. CAUSE mayhem and terror, maybe. But only amongst friends!!!!

Anyhoo. I was totally prepared for it. Welcomed it even. BRING IT ON BAY-BEE!!!!!

And. Guess what???!!!

Mr. TotallyImpressedbySherSecurityMan said. To moi. “Everyone Loves an Irish Girl”, handed me my ticket and sent me on my way!!!!

But.

Not so much luck for B!!!! Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!

She didn’t actually get strip searched. But her bag did. And her “contraband” was confiscated.

I TOLD HER TO BRING THE CLEAR, ZIPPY-TOP QUART-SIZE BAGGIES!!!!!

All together now: TRUST SHER!!!!!

So we settled in for a quick(ish) flight.

Here’s our pals!!! Safe and sound. I even let them have the aisle seat. Although the gentleman that said seat belonged to wasn’t keen on sharing. What’s up with that???!!!

I know, having the MAD SKILLZ that you have, that you know why you are always searched!! After all "Everyone Loves an Irish Girl" - apparently ESPECIALLY airport security!!


Here’s our pals!!! Safe and sound. I even let them have the aisle seat. Although the gentleman that said seat belonged to wasn’t keen on sharing. What’s up with that???!!!

So true, so, so true....I went with basic black. Black Tank, Black mini skirt and black no wrinkle blazer shoved into carry on. Needed for the 55 degree 5 am trip to the airport, the freezing cold plane ride, the stop in Atlanta, which was also chilly, but not, and at Boma...I also went with black strappy heels to keep me chic.... ;)

I agree that disaster averted by TSA was just in time!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup2

Great report!

[Backstage_Gal]

Sher, another great chapter!

Airport security people can be strange. On my trip to Germany, I took a cheap, almost empty lighter, even had it in my hand t hand it over. Nobody ever glanced at my stuff.... Oh well, I'll just keep it then.

On the way BACK to US of A, I got searched no less than 3 times, wanded and all. And I had a second lighter, which I meant to leave behind but forgot. Not a soul noticed it.

BUT......... a girl in front of me, being searched on the way OFF the plane in Orlando (what's up with THAT, anyway???????), was relieved of her water bottle that was handed out on the plane :confused3

Anyway, great story, I am sure you looked just smashing!!!!!!!!

[Yzma and Kronk]

Issak the Bartender checking in here...........not quite an official nutwing, but nuts just the same.

And the bearer of mad giftz.....loot bags, in honour of Specto (who didn't get one). With a pad and pen so there are no TR excuses to be had.

Anywho.........great start Sher!

You were in fact, the first nutwing I did call, upon arrival at POP!

Because I knew, you knew, I knew that you are in the know!

One box of clear, zippy-top, quart-size baggies later

In Canader, they gave out freebie zippy-top bags......bonus!

I figured I needed 4 bags. For 6(ish) days.

And you did look good, girlfriend. The commander (er or ar, Jami??) has to look good, and look the part!

Because. You wanna look cute, right??? But be comfy. And. Not cold where you’re coming from. But. Not hot when you get there.

Dress in layers, layers are the key......except at Orlando airport they have a mini change room in the bathrooms......how nice of them to do that, for us cold to hot Northerners!

Great report

Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to the next chapter.....

Well. As a matter of fact. I do!!!! ;)

I know. But. Point of fact. He loved himself an Irish Girl just fine. Sharing his seat with our pals, not so much!!!!!

Nothin' wrong with that. (Either of 'em...)

So true. It's a fine balance, requiring Mad Skillz. Lucky for you.

Loving it so far, Sher. Did you take notes? I took NO notes. But hope to get mine drafted this weekend. If I don't, I'll forget it all and the TR will be history. Before it's even story. If that makes sense.

Can't wait for the rest!!! And yes, we NEED to see the pics. Even those ones, you know, after you lost your shirt. They are a must.

[kpk89]

I would suspect that Sher somehow had a hand in getting the TSA to lighten up. Just sayin'.

Mad love for ya baby,

I did take notes. Somewhat. They read like this:

Everyone loves an Irish Girl!!!
I Lost My Shirt on the Way to JellyRolls!!!
Does The Basement of TOT Really Smell Like a Basement or Is That The Gentleman in Front of You???
11:52 pm Mad Dash To Splash Mountain in Cocktail Dresses!!!

yada, yada.....

I'm relying on memory from there. So. You ALL have to add to. 'k???

Senility in Irish women strikes at an early age. . .

Be that as it may, I find myself compelled to read along anyway. I mean, laudanum didn't stop the Gothic writers from penning some mighty fine, scary books. . .

Hey Now!!! Just because I don't use additives and PRESERVATIVES in my coffee does not mean I have an affliction!!!!

And. Thanks??? I think.

[UtahMama]

YES, the first day the room isnt ever ready so we too went to the parks (ours was MK to ride Cap'n Jack ;) )

I went with CROCS, not dainty, not cute or feminine on size 11 feet...Just tres comfortable. Having woken (???) up wayyyy too early and then flying allll night, I chose comfort over cute. But my lips were sizzling hot and glossy, youbetcha!

I couldn't even figure out my own notes?? DUH! I am Dory! I'd write down "key words and phrases" and then not know what I meant by them!!! OK THEN!

Lovin It Muchly.

Is "no comment" a good answer?

Last edited by sleepydog25 : Today at 05:55 PM. Reason: Hmm, how about scary good?
Dog, I think the latter is the safer choice!!!

Sher - Keep those chapters flowing, please!

I hope you all left Pop and the Hippy Dippy in one piece for my upcoming trip! I will be wary of people calling out YAK, though!!!

I am having so much fun reading your report. Your an awesome writer. :woohoo:
Aawww!!! So sweet. I LIKE YOU!!!!! :teeth:

[sheridac]

Now then. Where was I? Refresh Sher please!!!! :teeth:

Oh. Right. More proof. As if I really needed to. We all know by now I have mad skillz, yes??

Our quick(ish) flight connected in an undisclosed, secret location airport (haha J - you thought I’d spill the beans here didn’t ya?? Give out TMI??? Draw these readers a map to my secret location?? But. I was a good girl. This time. So. Can I have a cookie, Mrs. Landingham?)

Anyhoo. Actually. Henceforth instead of anyhoo I’ll be saying Yoo Hoo. Because I can!!! And because someone I know loves Yoo Hoo’s enough to marry them. Yoo Hoo’s and frosted cherry pop tarts. The Breakfast of Champions!! Except. We all know the REAL Breakfast of Champions is Tonga Toast. Just like we all know I’m The Real Nutwing Commander!!!!!! Stinkin’ Tag Fairy!!!! (LYMI!!) ;)

Yoo Hoo. Our layover in this undisclosed location was supposed to be an hour. Which was enough to get B some breakfast and me some freshening up time. ‘Cause I like to do that. Give up food for freshening up. B likes to call me a skinny beeeyotch. Which I’m not. TFI. And even she admits I’m not one cracker short of the grave so…..

Digression Alert!!!!! I suppose here’s a good enough time as any to tell you. This report WILL be riddled with spelling errors. Grammatical errors. Actually, riddles too. It’s not because I can’t spell. Or use proper grammar. It’s that I don’t really give a frickin’ (NOF) fig as long as you get my point. Which you do. I’m sure. Mad skillz, bay-bee!!!! And. They’re really just typos. But not really. I’m bilingual!!!! :thumbsup2

Digression over…..

As it turned out, by the time we deplaned and arrived at our connection departure gate thingie, it was really time to board. The next flight. Rhut- Rho!!!!! Post hoc, ergo, propter hoc, no time to pee!!!!! Funny enough while I don’t, as a rule, have a problem using public restrooms, I do have a thing about using those outhouses in the sky. They smell bad. For one thing. And they’re just holes in the plane not-so-very-cleverly-disguised. And. Did I mention they smell bad??? Blech!!!!!!

WAIT!!!!! Slight rant here!!!! WHAT IS IT WITH THE HOVERERS?????? Do you NOT REALIZE that if you JUST SAT DOWN instead of hovering the thing that you fear most WOULD NOT HAPPEN???? Like EVER???!!! There is NOTHING more disgusting that walking into a bathroom and finding the toilet seat pee’d upon!!! Which could be completely avoided. If you just used the little protective paper and SAT DOWN in the frickin’ (NOF) first place!!!! Geez!!!! Women can be slobs. Especially these hoverers. Who can’t sit their lilly white bums down. But expect others to. After they’ve pee’d all over the toilet seat!!!!!

Rant over….

Yoo Hoo. Thanks to the magic of The Everyone Loves an Irish Girl tee, there was a short, 15 minute delay in the boarding of our connecting flight.

And. A short staircase. Right next to the gate. And. At the bottom of sad staircase. Lo and Behold. A restroom. WHICH NO ONE KNEW ABOUT!!!!!

SCORE!!!!!!!

As I was waiting in line to board. My tee spied a Kiss Me I’m Irish tee. And an IRISH tee. And a Notre Dame tee. Ducks fly together, lol!!!!!

And. Some old(ish) guy chatted me up. His opening line??? “I like your shirt.” HOW ORIGINAL. NOT!!!!!!! Followed by, “Let me guess. You live in Florida.” Uh, nuh-uh guyoldenoughtobemygrampa, I am from Antarctica. And the grand finale. “Oh, I thought for sure with that great tan you were from Florida.”

Uuum. What’s your seat number?? ‘Cause I need to be seated as FAR AWAY from you. As possible. And. Please go back to The Successfulpickupline Academy and demand a full refund. Plus extra. For Pain and Suffering. In fact. I know several good lawyers. I’ll give you a referral. Run. Don’t walk!!!!!!

As we boarded the Flight Attendant looked me in the eye and said (all together now), “Everyone loves an Irish girl!” Plus he gave me an extra oatmeal cookie. During the flight. From his secret stash!!!! :teeth:

Power of the tee: 3

NOF = No offense Frick (another pal. You’ll meet her later in the chapter entitled “Where The Frick (NOF) are the Car Keys???”

We are in agreement. Hoverers are the bain of our feminine existence. At least tidy up properly after doing so. I saw evidence of these offenders during my entire trip, even at, GASP! Disney. Ick. :confused3

Keep going! :thumbsup2

[TwinkieMama]

am I first!?!
Drats! oh hi horsegirl! Nice to see you.

Anyway, even though I am second fiddle: Whohoootyhootyhoo!!!!! to you. And me.

Great report commander. Didn't even notice any grammar or spelling nonconformities....

but I did notice this.....


And even she admits I’m not one cracker short of the grave so…..

huh? :confused3 What does this mean????

I know what "one brick shy of a load" means and "not playing with a full deck" and even "the lights are on but nobody owns the house" but a cracker short of the grave????? what is your friend admitting about you???

and does the double negative mean proof positive?

[horsegirl]

Well then Whohoootyhootyhoo!!!!! to you. And me.

Oh geez!!! You really don't get it???

Ok. Then.

DISCLAIMER!!!!!! No offense intended to skinny girls!!!!!

Sometimes when we see a skinny girl, we MAY, UPON OCCASION, say to each other, "That girl needs a sammich!!"

A REALLY, REALLY, SUPER skinny girl is...

[firstmickey]

LOL....You crack me up! :rotfl2:


and add me to the list of Hoverer Haters. :teeth: :rotfl2:
Honestly, there are less germs on the toilet seat than on the faucet when you go to wash your hands. (think about it) ;) Unless it's a magic turny on faucet when you put your hands underneath. :teeth:

[TwinkieMama]

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

ooooh I get it now (after you explained it thanks)


out here the usage for the former is "somebody throw a sub at her"

meaning of course a footlong Italian classic from subway with mayo and vinegar and oil and extra cheese.... just the way I like it btw

never heard the cracker one.....


thanks for my morning laugh (at myself for being slow on the uptake)

[Yzma and Kronk]

I hope you all left Pop and the Hippy Dippy in one piece for my upcoming trip! I will be wary of people calling out YAK, though!!!

He should have said, "What's your sign?" :smooth:

YooHoo - major deja vu.......

I heard this entire "rant" while resting in the room at Coral Reef. It was coming out of the loud speakers, instead of nice Disney music.....weird!
:rotfl2:

"That girl needs a sammich!!"

I got it. Even the cracker reference. Must be a "nuthun thang"
The above phrase goes well when talking of Celine Dion, or Nicole Richie!
:rotfl2:

I do have a thing about using those outhouses in the sky.

But do you, as a courtesy to the other passengers, use a towel and wipe the basin after use????

Great Chapter
Great report
Thanks for sharing

I hate hover-ers! Except I didn't know they had a name..I just called them a very bad word. ONCE, I attempted to hover and I got "wetness" ON MY SKI-PANTS! (we were sledding in Park City Utah and all they had were Porta Pottys!) EEEEK! File that under TMI: I'm sure my file is full(ish). BUT I dont care in the least. TMI: is my middle name.

I HATE even more than hoverererers is guys-who-try-to-pick-up-on-you-but-cant-think-of-anything-more clever-than-to-comment-on-your-shirt (or worse)! EWWWW! More Heebie-Jeebies!

Yes. Princess Chris, please. I am sooooooo excited to be on the list. Of Princesses. Second only to Aurora. I just LOVE Wesley!!! And. Hey!!! Where's my pics???

[sheridac]

I’m pretty sure I got a call from Jami. While I was waiting for take-off. I mean. I know I got a call from Jami. I just don’t benember if it was waiting for takie-offie or after landing. :teeth:

Yoo Hoo. It was sweet. Like she is. Sweeter than chocolate chip cookies. With nuts. Because really. What other way is there to eat a chocolate chip cookie???

WAIT!!! There is another way to eat a chocolate chip cookie!! Warm, right out of the oven with yummy french vanilla ice cream from Main Street Bakery.

Oopsies!! I digess. Again.

Is it still a digression when it’s a flash forward???

Back to the present. Well. Actually the past.

The flight to MCO was fairly uneventful. Except for the extra oatmeal cookie. To go with my cashews. And. My coffee. And my water. Hmmm… did I get anything else?? Nope. I think that was it. :teeth:

Every now again B and I would look at our watches and giggle. “You know what the best thing about right now is?? We’re NOT at work!!!” Giggle, Giggle!!!!!

Cap-i-tain Jon landed us 15 minutes early. The Power of the Tee??? You decide.

Now. Since I actually WANTED to get to the Hippy Dippy, I actually FOLLOWED the rules. This time.

I KNOW!!!!!! Sher??? Following RULES??? :faint:

It’s TRUE!! I did!!!

Digression Alert!!!!

I’ve noticed some people have a problem with that fake monorail at MCO. PEOPLE, PEOPLE!!!! You are THERE!! You are NOT back in your office, which, if you are like J, smells of vomitus from too many LaLa stories. EMBRACE the fake monorail!!!! You're giving it a complex.

Yoo Hoo. Rule-Following Sher advanced toward Side A. For to experience. The Power of The Magical Express. Would it be Magical??? Would it be Express???

Digression Alert!!!

I have actually done The Magical Express. Before. And found my experience to be both Magical. And Express. But. I’ve also seen the stories from other Dis’ers. The HORROR stories.

Here’s the thing. I think you have to take all you read with a grain of salt. Do what you WANT to do. Anyway.

Except for this Trip Report. That is. This you should take as gospel. Just sayin’!!!! :teeth:

Segway.

First we had to make a stop. At a restroom. Unlike me, B did not have sad mad skillz. In dressing appropriately. And. Needed to change. Which made me said. I wanted to GO, GO, GO!!!!! But I waited for my friend. It was the right thing to do.

I guess. :rotfl2:

Now the last time I did the ME. I TRIED to follow the rules. I LOOKED for those waving Mickey hands. I looked HIGH. I looked LOW.

The plan looked promising on paper.

There were no sad hands to be found.

This time. The Power of the Tee prevailed. We hopped on a elevator right next to the restroom. And when the doors opened. What to our wondering eyes should appear??

The ME check in desk. RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!

SCORE!!!!!

There was a bit(ish) of a line(ish). Which. I didn’t mind. One bit(ish).

You’re THERE people. Stop your bellyaching about the lines!!!!

Geez!!!

While I was in line the guy behind me started a chat. He was REALLY excited. I LOVE to see that!!!! He kept waving to his wife. He was really cute. I believe he was staying at POR. So. Hey Cute Guy in the ME line!!!!! I know it wasn’t you J. ‘Cause he had hair!!!

Bwahahahaha!!!!

I know that you know that I know that you know that you love me!!!!

Yoo Hoo. The Power of the Tee prevails and I spent less than 5 minutes in the ME checkie-innie line.

And in less time than that on board the ME bus and ON OUR WAY!!!!!

THANK YOU for the legend at the end! Nifty reference tool.

Because there's newbies a-foot (around) and they might be confuzzled. I wish there was reference guides when I was new..."back in the day"!

I didnt see any big mickey hands either! Very strange,that!

:dance3: just because!

Way to go Sher!
Can't wait to read how it all plays out!

[ZZUB]

Man, that flowed fast. Despite the digression within the flash forward to a scene which had yet to take place while dissecting the benefits of cookies, this was a fast read. And funny.

Balding. Not bald. Just to be clear.

Looking forward to more. And less. But mostly more.

Last edited by ZZUB : Today at 03:22 PM. Reason: I'll risk the wrath. You're wrong about nuts in cookies. Choc Chip cookies should NEVER have nuts. Nuts ruin the cookie!

So as not to get OT.....

Have you got to the part where Jami brought cookies???

And they were excellent, I must say!

But I'm with you Zzub......no nuts in the choc chips! Or brownies either!

{{{{Shiver}}}}

[kpk89]

We didn't see Mickey hands either. Lucky for me, I was carrying my ME booklet so a CM accosted me very politely and sent me in the right way.

Doug had only his boarding coupon, and sad coupon was in his pocket, so he went to Baggage Claim B. :rotfl2:

BRING BACK THE MICKEY HANDS!!!!!

[NAB]

We couldn't find the hands either when there in Jan. But of course you have mad skills so who needs Mickey Hands.

Carry on.... popcorn::

Sher, great installment again!

Just a word regarding the missing Mickey hands. Some months (a year?) ago,
the other cabbie companies filed suit because they were not allowed to solicit business on the arrival level. Henceforth, no more Mickey hands to guide you. TFI

[HaleyB]

This report is okay. When did the fun people get there?

Actually I was already there. Had already been there for days. Two to be exact(ish).

[eeyore45]

Wish I had been more involved - grateful y'all let me join in anyway!!

Lovin the TR!! Too much fun - let there be more - always more!! :sunny:

Hey Great report so far !!!

Nice to meet you btw TFI etc at the Maelstrom meet :) :rotfl:

I'm sure I speak for many who would like to see a photo of the tee with all the POWER!

I tried to find an Everyone Loves an Irish Girl t-shirt on-line to give a friend as a gift, but there were many to choose from. So if you have no pic of sad tee, a recommendation on the design that enhances one's mad skillz would be muchly appreciated!!!!!

That was absolutely, in no way a pick on the Mods. As a matter of fact it was somewhat of a compliment given I said if all of the nuts left the only ones left would be Mods.

Honest! :)

[1000thhappyhaunt]

I'm with the nuts. And against the nut.

Cookies are better with nuts. Brownies too. Pancakes also.

If you want to get into it more.

However.

What I'm trying to say is this: Great job so far Sheri. :teeth:


Cheers, Melly. (big grin!)

[Ron from Michigan]

Just thought I would let you know that I'm enjoying the trip so far. Once I figured out what the heck was going on with the pre trip report. Once I figured out that you just read every second word backwords it all became very clear. :)

Thanks Kimmie – I lifted this from Kimmie everyone!!!

As the bus was rolling along. I couldn’t help but think. Of all my friends. That rolled along this way before me. And of you J. Something you said once. About the ride from MCO to WDW. I forget what exactly. You know my short attention span. Was it something about the palm trees???

Yoo Hoo.

It got me thinking. And so. I did what I do. When I’m thinking. I picked up my phone. And called Grammy.

“I HAVE ARRIVED!!!!!” “I’m on The Magical Express!” I may have even said “And. It is Magical. And Express.”

‘Cause it was.

TFI

Then I looked at my watch. And giggled.

I may have even chatted with her the entire way. Which explains why it didn’t seem to take that long.

By now. You are all. WELL AWARE. I have mad skillz. And The Power of The Tee. So of course I had a ME exit strategy. It consists of 7 steps.

a) Sit near the front of sad bus.
27) Never put anything under sad bus.
127.ii) Scope out strollers, small children, back packs, diaper bags, overloaded Disney dads, etc, en route.
J) Do NOT, under ANY circumstances, allow sad bus to come to a complete stop before standing up.

It's a good thing I went to school for 22 years.

So. After passing under this:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/mkarch.jpg
I lifted this from Kimmie. Too!!! TFI.

I was getting ansty. I may have needed to visit the loo. Who knows, really. Excitement, peeing, same difference, right???

Yoo Hoo.

Pretty soon we saw these:

(Insert pics of the really fun, fun, fun Pop entrance ‘cause Sher didn’t take any here)

And.

The Race Was On!!!!!!

We dodged a few dads. And hurdled a few strollers. We may have knocked over a couple of small children. Too. No!!! Just kidding!!!!

Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!

And were FIRST. In line. For to check in.

Right behind all the people from the last bus that got dropped off.

Segway.

I love striking up conversations with people in lines. Especially if they’re grumpy. I can really take a frown and turn it upside down. It’s another mad skill. TFI.

And. People like to talk to me. For some reason.

Oh WAIT!!! I know. It’s those mad skillz again!!!!

So. There was a cute little blondie. About 4(ish). And we had an entire conversation about what Goofy’s favourite candy is. Which is the green kind. TFI. Duh!!!!!

When it was my turn to step right up and receive MY Key to The Kingdom the CM was Ms. EarningHerEars. Which I love too. I really appreciate all the things these CM’s do for me to make my stay magical and I try to give that back.

Segway.

Having mad skillz is a mad skill. BUT. KNOWING HOW to employ those mad skillz is THE MADDEST SKILL. Of all.

Benember this???

Unless you have The Maddest of MAD SKILLZ (yes, I know I DO, but most people do not. I’m just sayin’!!!), your room is almost never ready. When you check in.

And this:
YES, the first day the room isnt ever ready so we too went to the parks (ours was MK to ride Cap'n Jack ;) )

Well.

YOU SHOULD HAVE MORE FAITH IN SHER’S MAD SKILLZ UTM!!!!!

And.

MORE FAITH IN THE POWER OF THE TEE!!!!!!

Here’s why.

Ms. EarningHerselfSomeEarsAndDoingAMightyFineJobOfIt said. To Sher.

“Everyone loves an Irish girl. Here you go. YOUR ROOM IS READY.”

Did you hear that??

Here. I’ll repeat it. In case you missed it the first time.

YOUR ROOM IS READY!!!!!!

My mad skillz and The Power of The Tee.

NEVER DOUBT THEM. Again.

Ms. EarningHerEarsAndDoingASpectacularJobAtIt said. To Sher.

“You’re in the 70’s. Right out the back door. First building on the left. Second floor.”

This is a major score. To me. ‘Cause I LOVE music from the 70’s. Subsequently you found me boogie-ing down each and every day coming to. And from. My room. With my refillable-for-life mug. Filled with the good stuff. From Grammy. And the REALLY good stuff. From Yak. And. Every morning. When I came back from my run.

Digression Alert!!!!

YES!!!! I really did run. Every morning. Except that one time. When I ran at night. Instead. What can I say. I actually, almost, kind of, in a strange and bizarre way, enjoy it.

GASP!!!! I KNOW!!! I also brought my weights. Which I used. Too. Every day.

NO, I AM NOT A FREAK!!!!!

Well. Maybe I am. But not because of that!!!! ‘Nuff said!!!

HA!!! The Power of the Tee MUST have worked because the next day Ms. EarningHerselfSomeEarsBlahblahblah checked US in. AND.

Put us in the wrong type of room!! Cause my pal #7 needs first floor and I sad it 100,000 times!!! AND. Ms. SeeAbove gave us FOURTH floor keys.

This is where I had to use my OWN powers of persuasion.

Which have NOTHING to do with T-shirts or their contents.

I did, though, recently score a free replacement battery at the Verizon store while because the Verizon Cast Member liked my "Don't Make Me Release The Flying Monkeys" T-shirt.

Anyway. I got the first floor room. Right next to the PlayDoh can, 60's section. Just a stumble from the pool crowd.

Nice story and pics, Mme. Commander!!

Bring it!!

Mad love,
Nutwing #4

[Backstage_Gal]

Sher, great chapter again. You finally made it!

[Grammyof2]

Actually the conversation went something like this:

Sheri -"I am on Magical Express, and it is indeed magical and express, where are you."

Grammy - " I am driving down 95 at 80 miles an hour and have to pee"

Sheri - "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH"

Grammy - "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH"

About 16 minutes later, we said goodbye, talk to you soon, call me blah, blah :banana: :banana: :banana:

Another mensa convo between 2 mensa's :rolleyes1

[ZZUB]

Yoo Hoo = anyhoo. Or anyway.Actually, Yoo Hoo is a delightful chocolaty drink. And, nota bene, it contains no nuts. As no chocolate should ever be mixed up with nuts.

I don't know why you'd think of me on the ME bus, except that you were on your cell phone and you know how much I appreciate people who talk on their phones on the bus. How's the cat? Did he bite your catsitter?

And finally, what in the name of steroid injected avatars is the deal with your over-sized avatar? It's freaking me out.

:moped:

(Insert pics of the really fun, fun, fun Pop entrance ‘cause Sher didn’t take any here)

And.

The Race Was On!!!!!!

Borg babee cause this Mama was not born yesterday. I ditched the kids, the Mr, and the crap under the bus and made a mad dash of my own. And, as if I even need to say it, I was 1st in line, from our bus. Right behind me was the family I pushed out of the way right as we got to the doors.



Ms. EarningHerselfSomeEarsAndDoingAMightyFineJobOfIt said. To Sher.

“Everyone loves an Irish girl. Here you go. YOUR ROOM IS READY.”

Did you hear that??

Here. I’ll repeat it. In case you missed it the first time.

YOUR ROOM IS READY!!!!!!

My mad skillz and The Power of The Tee.

So should I tell you that we have never not had our room ready at check in, and have been upgraded twice out of our last five stays? (It was twice out of our last four stays before this one).



“You’re in the 70’s. Right out the back door. First building on the left. Second floor.”

This is a major score. To me. ‘Cause I LOVE music from the 70’s.
NO, I AM NOT A FREAK!!!!!

Yeah, um, about that. First you are a freak. Second your 'mad skillz' caused poor Yak to be banished to the outer limits. Also they would not, under any circumstances, give us a room anywhere near you. Due to that little note on your ressie... :rolleyes1

Although we were in the 70's too.

Hmmm...and I thought her freak-ish because she brought weights!!!!!!!!!!

And the REALLY good stuff. From Yak.

Just doing my duty..... :teeth:

HA!!! The Power of the Tee MUST have worked because the next day Ms. EarningHerselfSomeEarsBlahblahblah checked US in. AND.

DOUBLE HA!!!

I had the Magical gatherings number all ready. Because Haley had mad skillz putting us altogether. Ms. EarningHerselfSomeEarsBlahblahblah, said,

"I've put you in a room next door to your Magical Gathering family. There are infact three rooms together."

And where did I get put. In Siberia. Manymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymany steps from the requested Hippy Dippy. Because I had duties to do. (Hee-hee)

With empty rooms beside me. Which should have been for Grammy and Gramps. That night. Because the POP was full. :confused3

So I did also run, everyday. From Siberia to the Hippy Dippy! ;)

It is the power of the T!

Next time - we should all have the T!

Even if we are not Irish.

Great Read
Looking forward to more
Thanks for sharing

[sheridac]

On the way to the room I made another call. Do you get the idea I’m on the phone a lot??? I wonder why??

This call was to Brian. Of Garden Grocers. To let him know the eagle had landed.

Segway.

I LOVE Brian!!!!! This is the second time I’ve used his services. (oh yeah. I almost wrote this was the second time he serviced me. Mr. Sheridac thanks me for not. writing that.) He ROCKS!!!! He gets me EVERYTHING I want. Even Guiness. Which Mama no like. TFI. But. Mr. Sheridac does. Which is wacked I say!!!! Who likes beer they have to chew??? Eeeww!!

Oopsies!!! That was last December’s trip. Is it still a digression when it’s a flashback???

Yoo Hoo.

Brian rocks. And he gives me everything I want. Get it??? Good!!!

Brian’s on schedule for an early(ish) afternoon delivery. But. I’m late. I’m late. For a very important date. With TOT and RNR bay-bee.

NO TIME TO WAIT!!!

Mad Skillz and The Power of The Tee convince Brian to leave everything at the front desk. For Sher. And Ms. EarningMyEarsRocksMySocks agrees the delivery. Can be delivered. To my room.

But First. We must check out The Power of The Key to The Kingdom.

WAIT!!!! I forgot. The view. From(ish) my room. Lookie at Mickey!!!!

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/IMG_0705.jpg

I may have even done a little dance. On the bed. Because I’m borg that way.

Yoo Hoo.

We decided to try out the Food Court at Pop.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/IMG_0632.jpg

We (well, I actually, since I don’t really know what time B got up) had been up since 3:30 am. B was ready for lunch. I myself was ready to scream. On TOT. And. Walk This Way. On RNR. Plus. I had all that food. On the plane. Thanks to The Power of The Tee. Benember??

But. I waited for my friend. It was the right thing to do.

I guess. :teeth:

Plus. I’d heard MANY, MANY great things about Pop’s Food Court. From DISUNC. Hi DU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Segway.

You know. At WDW when you’re not on the dinning plan and it’s time for lunch. It’s kind of like this:

“ Excuse me, Toby. I was heading out for lunch and I'm a little short. You wouldn't happen to have a hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars I could borrow, would you?”

NOT!!!!

FREE DINNING BAY-BEE!!!!!!!!!!

Oh. The Smell of Free Dinning!!!!!!

Except. I couldn’t fully appreciate it. ALL that food. On the plane. Benember??

I had a salad. Those of you who know me. Know. This is a HUGE departure from my normal fare. Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

B had a Beef, Bean and Bleu flatbread. Which was. TO DIE FOR. It was!!!!!

And the best part????

IT WAS FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus. I did a little shopping. At Everything Pop. Again, A HUGE departure from norm. For me. :teeth:

And. I HAD to get my refillable-for-life mug. Since I had to subject myself to morning Nescacrap for 2 days until Grammy arrived. With The Golden Coffeemaker.

FINALLY!!! It was time. For to get my scream on!!!!!! And. Walk This Way!!!

Bay-bee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As I waited at the bus stop for Calgon to whisk me away to MGM.

I looked at my watch. And giggled.

Power of The Tee: Is anyone EVEN counting by now?? It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it????

Yeah, I don’t think you need this. This time. You are all assimilated!!!!

Doh!

I mean't to have that!

It was staring me in the face everytime I got on the elevator. In Siberia.

Funny your always on the phone and your across from Mickey and a huge phone....

Free Dining always comes with dessert you know...........even if you take it with you or give it away to someone who isn't on the plan.

[GeorgiaAristocat]

Hello.

Checking in. Finally.

I only give rulings on Maelstrom rules. Not on free dinning. We all know that J is the expert on that and what to put in refillable for live DVMC mugs. Ask him about the cheesecake. Or cheesesteak. Or whatever.

Great report by the way. Thanks for sharing.

[sheridac]

Addendum to Chapter 6
Didn't you also have the tie dyed cheesecake :confused3 with the salad?????
I did, in fact, have the tie dyed cheesecake. I forgot. Which was only ok. Which is probably why I forgot.

Not good enough to stuff inside the refillable-for-life mug. Sorry!!!!!

Digression Alert!!!!

I LOVE CHEESECAKE!!!!! It's true. I do. And even so. I'm not too picky about my cheesecake. If it's cheesecake, it's good. To Sher. Usually.

But. The tye-dyed cheesecake had a chocolate cake. Which didn't float my boat.

So I only ate the cheese part. Not the cake part.

B had the chocolate cake. Which was chocolatey good. Here's the thing. We decided to try different things when we ordered our meals.

More yummy goodness for us!!!!

This did not work out so well at Cali Grill. Just so you know. But more on that later(ish). Probably Chapter 20 (ish). Or so.

Well no I don't feel so bad about never getting around to the Cheesecake at Everything Pop.

Maybe next year...

But the chocolate cake is yummy.

SHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved the POP food court shopping center as well.

Except.....
I only had breakfast and Emergency Refillable (for life!!) Mug Diet Coke runs every evening and every afternoon!!!

But the breakfast there was yummy! #1 , #7 and I had our usual mad sharing skillz on there. Mostly I ate the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant which, as everyone SHOULD know, is THE cure for laryngitis and ear infections!!! That and the coffee set me free each morning after the alcohol sapped me at night.

The shopping there was right on. We found many many souvenirs for our poor negelcted at-home children. Armloads, in fact!!

WALK THIS WAY!!!!!!!!!!

I love me some Steven Tyler!!!!

Bring it.

And I'm anxious for to see the TEE!

[averill94]

WOw what fun you are having! I knew you "looked" familiar- my dd3 was chatting your ear off on the bus to or from a park- You inspired me to buy those mickey head earrings! And did you make that Maelstrom shirt or can it be bought? When I commented on it you automatically said" Did you know it is a Fast Pass?"

I think we actually went on Maelstrom that night- My mother and I laughed our buts off- my kids were freaked out.

Looking forward to more!

Now that's funny!!! LOVE that!!!



awww....shanky, shanky very much!!! :)

[sheridac]

On the bus there was THE sweetest little baby boy on the way. To MGM. He was sooooooooo sweet. He momentarily distracted me. We played peek-a-boo.

For 20 minutes.

Segway.

You may have noticed. Unless you’ve been skimming. I LOVE children. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their sweet little selves. I have three of my own. They’re all growed up now. Though. Yes. It’s TRUE!!!

I had them when I was twelve!!!!!! :teeth:

Sigh.

And. Children LOVE me. For some reason. Can someone help a girl out and tell these folks why that might be????? Thank-you-ever-so-muchly!!!!! ;)

And another thing!!! I must say. Right this minute. I have THE GREATEST APPRECIATION for The Disney Dad. He’s the Dad you see overloaded with crap. Backpacks, camera bags, coolers. Carrying the 75 lb collapsible stroller that refuses to collapse. Which also smells. And maybe a child. Or three.

As a mom. You don’t really appreciate The Disney Dad. When you’re in the trenches. You’re just looking for a pack mule. To share the load. Uh, I mean joy. Yeah, that’s what I meant!!!

But now I see with a fresh eye. Holy Crap!!! That’s a lot of crap. They carry. And from what I saw, all with a smile on their collective faces.

Sigh. Again.

We took our kids to Disney every year. Since they could walk. Barely. In fact, on our first trip the twins were just 3 (ish) and the baby was a year and a half (ish).

Talk about a lot of crap!!!!! And Mr. Sheridac was a great Disney Dad. He did have one flaw though. He never could seem to remember to replace the lens cap on the video camera. Or turn it off. Even. As a result we have vintage footage of all of Disney World.

From the ground up. :rotfl2:

But I digress. Again.

Yoo Hoo.

The bus ride took no time at all. Really.

BTW. Why do some people get their panties so wadded up about WDW transportation??? I mean, really. Once again I say. You’re THERE people. Not in your crappy, smelling office (oh. well. that could be just J) WORKING!!!! Good grief!!!

EMBRACE YOUR VACATION!!!!!

Plus. I find the WDW transportation to be not so bad. You get on. You get off. Not much thinking required. Plus. You’re not driving. So. You can spend the entire trip looking over your goody bag. Of park purchases. That you purchased.

That hour.

Or be like me. And play peek-a-boo with two-year olds.

Oh, wait. I guess I do both. Of those. TFI

Yoo Hoo.

The Power of The Tee plus my mad skillz prevail. Once again. The driver decides to pull right up to the entrance. For to deposit his precious, precious cargo.

Thanks Matt!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone Loves an Irish Girl!!!! :teeth:

We walked up to the baggie-checkie area. For to have my bag checked. Which contained. My own precious, precious cargo. This:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/ATT00008-1.jpg

See??? He really did go everywhere with me. Mostly. That is, until he started going wild and crazy. Drinking everyone’s yummies and dancing on the tables.

More on that later(ish). Oh, let’s just say Chapter 12(ish).

As we approached the turnstile I had a thought. I’m sure it’s the same thought you all have. No, not the “did I bring enough pairs of shoes thought” !!!!

The “will this finger-thingy work or will I get stuck half the day in Guest Services” thought. Like poor Sharkbait. Who had to pull out his ID. And show his age!!! Which is really OLD!!!!! BTW, if you haven’t read his TR, you should. Besides being really OLD, he’s pretty funny too!!! That’s NEBO. Entitled something about screaming at the Pop. Maybe he was there the same time as me????

But I digress. Again.

You understand I did not have this thought for myself. Mad skillz and The Power. Duh!!!!

OF COURSE. I stepped right up. Put my card in. Wiggled my finger a bit.

And.

With an “Everyone loves an Irish girl” from the CM, I AM IN BAY-BEE!!!

B?? Not so much.

She put her card in. Wiggled her finger. Put her card in again. Wiggled her finger. Again. Put her card in. Wiggled a different finger this time. I think you know that of which I speak.

I reeeeeaaaaaalllllllllyyyyy wanted to go. Ahead. I LOVE the thrill rides. I could do them ALL DAY. I wanted to Walk This Way, Bay-bee!!!!!!

But I waited for my friend. It was the right thing to do.

I guess. :teeth:

The CM took pity on me. I’m pretty sure she thought I needed a visit to the loo. Or was a Tigger impersonator. Or both. Same difference, really. I was hopping up and down. At that point. Maybe. Just a little. Teeny, tiny bit. Sorta. Kinda.

Finally.

WE WERE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lookie. Here we are:

And this:

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/tnt.jpg

Scream On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously. THERE WERE NO LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say again.

THERE WERE NO LINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sher’s mad skillz and The Power of The Tee.

Walk This Way Bay-bee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But. We did the run-walk. Anyway. ‘Cause we had a boat to catch. At 5:30.

Ok. To be PERECTLY honest. I didn’t do the run walk. To RNR. I did the boogie walk. I even did it backwards. Too. And in circles. I do that. A lot. TFI.

In fact. If any of you were in WDW between Sept 28 and Oct 3, that she of caramel-y colored hair, short(ish) woman you saw dancing?? In the streets. On the rides. In the lines. On the boats.

Well. That was me!!! Oh. And I sang on the boats. Too. The whole lot of us did. Actually. It’s THE best way to get the driver to let you off sooner. Rather than later. Especially if the song you’re singing is.

Cumbayah. My Lord. Cumbayah.

Oh Lord. I’m pretty sure. I heard the boat driver said.

But you’ll hear more about that. Later(ish). Oh, let’s say, Chapter 32(ish).

Segway.

After riding both TOT and RNR 4 times each. It was time for dinner. We had an early(ish) ADR at Spoodles. Which we had to get to. In order to get back. In time. For Fantasmic.

So. We skipped (and I do mean that literally BTW) over to the Friendship boat launch.

As I waited in line to board.

I looked at my watch. And giggled.

Next Up: Sunset Is Paradise (In Spoodles) and Fantasmic IS Fantasmic!!!!!

And

Did Sher Get A Disney Surprise Like Hucifer??? (maybe!!!!)

Find Chapter 8 Here!!!! (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1243466&page=10&pp=15)

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Lovin' it Princess! So glad you got to do RnR. We tried (on day 10), but did not make it. The Magic Magnet was not with us (because he can't ride it, after all). And I did not have a Magic Tee, either. Apparently.

Love all the pics! Does B still love you?!

But. I'm ready for you to meet some Maelstromers!!!

[javamom]

what fun pics with your friend!! Looks you had a great time :)
:teeth:

[NAB]

Sheri this is so funny. You definetly know how to have a great time.

I am really enjoying your report. I for one hope you do get to chapter 32 or more.

[Grammyof2]

And. Children LOVE me. For some reason. Can someone help a girl out and tell these folks why that might be????? Thank-you-ever-so-muchly!!!!! ;)

Hayley, if Auntie Chris comes by, what are we to remember? "Never get in the car" Good girl


We took our kids to Disney every year. Since they could walk. Barely. In fact, on our first trip the twins were just 3 (ish) and the baby was a year and a half (ish).

Talk about a lot of crap!!!!! And Mr. Sheridac was a great Disney Dad. He did have one flaw though. He never could seem to remember to replace the lens cap on the video camera. Or turn it off. Even. As a result we have vintage footage of all of Disney World.


He is a good man!!!


B?? Not so much.

She put her card in. Wiggled her finger. Put her card in again. Wiggled her finger. Again. Put her card in. Wiggled a different finger this time. I think you know that of which I speak.

I reeeeeaaaaaalllllllllyyyyy wanted to go. Ahead. I LOVE the thrill rides. I could do them ALL DAY. I wanted to Walk This Way, Bay-bee!!!!!!

But I waited for my friend. It was the right thing to do.


Yes, Sheri, it was the right thing to do :cheer2:


WE WERE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lookie. Here we are:

[Lanie]

Love your trip report!!!

I thought that I recognized you at the airport, but I didn't want to seem like a stalker or anything... And them my fiance tells me that he was chatting with a nice person in the ME line that was wearing an "Everybody loves an Irish Girl" shirt...

I can't believe I have a cameo in your trip report!!!! :blush:

[UtahMama]

but I said you looked young too! :wave2:

Are you still mad at me about the treat? I am soooooo sorry! :blush: for true!

[sheridac]

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was sooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!! He kept waving and waving at you!!! And. He was so excited. He's a keeper. Yep!!!!

[MomPlanner22]

I am with Umama here. You can't be a day over 28 (which if you are and you had the twins at 12 they'd be 16 and at least trying to manipulate their way into your Va-Ca!).

Great report, fun fun fun!!!!

[latoberg]

And. Children LOVE me. For some reason. Can someone help a girl out and tell these folks why that might be????? Thank-you-ever-so-muchly!!!!! ;)


I have stated this elsewhere, but not many saw it. Children love you because you have within you the spirit of Peter Pan. And could play Pan without really trying, on stage.

And, they also love you because they can look you in the eye. Without you bending down. Or sitting on the pavement.

LY/MI

[UtahMama]

But you DID get a treat...kinda, "I" ate it ...and it was fabulous ("They're REAL and their FABULOUS"!)!!! SEE? I was looking out for your-not-a-day-over-28 teeny-tiny cute body!!!! I am a good friend. :thumbsup2 Disney Logic in ACTION!!!!

[ZZUB]

Why do some people get their panties so wadded up about WDW transportation??? I mean, really. Once again I say. You’re THERE people. Not in your crappy, smelling office (oh. well. that could be just J) WORKING!!!! Good grief!!! I both agree and disagree. There hasn't been a good debate on here yet, so this is my effort to help you out.

Generally speaking, a bad day at Disney beats even a good day at work. But there are times when the hold up is so extreme, the cast member so rude, the smell of your fellow Disers so offensive, or the lack of extra towels so dramatic that it can put you in a mood. When you're in Disney World you want to be in one of three places: a park, a restaurant, at your resort. Maybe DTD if you're a woman (if nothing else sparks a debate, that will).
No one wants to be waiting on the bus, monorail or boat. We tolerate it. Like a salad before dinner.

That being said, I don't mind riding the bus. Actually, I kind of enjoy it. Parts of it. It's the freaking waiting I can't stand. I hate the waiting!

And another thing!!! I must say. Right this minute. I have THE GREATEST APPRECIATION for The Disney Dad. He’s the Dad you see overloaded with crap. Backpacks, camera bags, coolers. Carrying the 75 lb collapsible stroller that refuses to collapse. Which also smells. And maybe a child. Or three Thank you. We appreciate Disney Moms too. For other reasons.

:moped:

[Lanie]

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was sooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!! He kept waving and waving at you!!! And. He was so excited. He's a keeper. Yep!!!!


Thanks!!!! We were really looking forward to this vacation, since we've been living in different cities for 6 months!

Can't wait to hear more about that crazy viking trip!

[celerystalker]

As quoted by the almighty Sheridac:
WAIT!!!!! Slight rant here!!!! WHAT IS IT WITH THE HOVERERS?????? Do you NOT REALIZE that if you JUST SAT DOWN instead of hovering the thing that you fear most WOULD NOT HAPPEN???? Like EVER???!!! There is NOTHING more disgusting that walking into a bathroom and finding the toilet seat pee’d upon!!! Which could be completely avoided. If you just used the little protective paper and SAT DOWN in the frickin’ (NOF) first place!!!! Geez!!!! Women can be slobs. Especially these hoverers. Who can’t sit their lilly white bums down. But expect others to. After they’ve pee’d all over the toilet seat!!!!!


OhMyGoodness! I am not a girly girl. If I ever wear makeup, it's just mascara and lipstick. I don't wear skirts or dresses often (except when I dress up as Minnie Mouse. Then it's fun). I am hair styling challenged. So I have a tendency to regard certain people (like, say, you?) who always seem to be put together as completly alien from myself. I always assume it's those type of people who pee all over the seat. Can I just say I love you all the more for this rant? Like oodles and oodles. Because peeing on the seat is one of my top three pet peeves.
For those keeping score at home:
1. People who do not wash their hands, especially after using the restroom. I'm not Adrian Monk or anything, but I do wash my hands around 100(ish) times a day. Plus I really like his show.
2. In order for me to like you, you can be either dumb and sweet or smart and a b***h. Dumb b***hes automatically become my nemesis. I have many.
3. People who think it's ok for them to spread pee all over the seat because all those "other" people are so filthy that their stupid butts wouldn't dare sit down.

So I was ranting your rant this morning almost word for word before I even read yours! Wow! We're like borg or something.

[Minnie_Moo]

Thanks for the pic of you in the TEE with the mad powers, Sher!

Have a great weekend.

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Good one, Todd!!

This doesn't explain at ALL why they like Jay so much, though.

[nicolemarie]

Sher - It looks like y'all had so much fun!! Love the pics AND the report.

Keep in comin', girl!! :sunny:

[AshClan]

You may have noticed. Unless you’ve been skimming. I LOVE children. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their sweet little selves. I have three of my own. They’re all growed up now. Though. Yes. It’s TRUE!!!

I had them when I was twelve!!!!!! :teeth:

No, no, no! This is how it goes..Voice of Sher, "I was very young when I had my kids. I was very, very, very, very young. I was barely even born yet when I had my twins." (I can't believe Z missed this one!!)

Good one, Todd!!

This doesn't explain at ALL why they like Jay so much, though.

It's the opposite, Kim. Jay attracts the kids like a pied piper. Plus, they seem to like his bigness. I used to say that, to my nieces and nephews, he was their own personal playground. They just loved to climb all over him!!

Great Job, Chris. You are catching up to me! I have to get hoppin!!!!

[sheridac]

I have stated this elsewhere, but not many saw it. Children love you because you have within you the spirit of Peter Pan. And could play Pan without really trying, on stage.
Lacto!!!

You did say that elsewhere. To me. And. I wanted to say. To you. I've had many a compliment paid to me. In my lifetime. But THIS. Meant a lot.

This??
And, they also love you because they can look you in the eye. Without you bending down. Or sitting on the pavement.
Not so much!!!! :teeth:

That being said, I don't mind riding the bus. Actually, I kind of enjoy it. Parts of it. It's the freaking waiting I can't stand. I hate the waiting!
Do you not like the waiting?? 'Cause, I'm not sure. You weren't too clear!!!

Thank you. We appreciate Disney Moms too. For other reasons.

:moped:
J!!! Hahahaha!! Now you know the way my mind thinks. And. I'm pretty sure I know. What you mean. Here. Actually. I have me two trains of thought. Here. We’ll call them ‘Answer A’ and ‘Answer B.’ :teeth:

OhMyGoodness! I am not a girly girl. If I ever wear makeup, it's just mascara and lipstick. I don't wear skirts or dresses often (except when I dress up as Minnie Mouse. Then it's fun).

Why celery!! I just love it when people love me. Like oodles and oodles!!! And. Just so you know. I LOVE me a good garnish!! :teeth:

2. In order for me to like you, you can be either dumb and sweet or smart and a b***h. Dumb b***hes automatically become my nemesis. I have many.
How do you feel about sweet and smart???

Wow! We're like borg or something.
Borg is good. Very.

Hey NM!!!! Thanks for reading, girl!!!!!

[sheridac]

And. Did Sher Get A Disney Surprise Like Hucifer??? (maybe!!!!)

Hang on. I need some coffee. You go too. Meetcha right back here. In a sec …….

Ok, then. I’m back. Now. You’re probably wondering, “Did she really go get herself some coffee?” And the answer would be. You bet your sweet bippie!!!

What exactly is a bippie anyway?? Oh, uuumm, I guess that should be a conversation. For another day.

Yoo Hoo.

As we stepped aboard our Friendship boat I noticed something. About the Captain. ‘Cause I’m observant that way.

His name. Was Dan. That’s right. Captain Dan. Why is this significant, you may wonder?

Well. Let me tell you.

At some point earlier this year (yes, I am observant but I also have a short attention span, benember???) my baby and I went on an impromptu shopping excursion to Manhattan. We stayed at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square so we spend a goodly enough time on Broadway.

Ok. We would have done that anyway but it was oh-so-convenient for us. To return to our room. For to deposit our goody bags.

Yoo Hoo.

We went to lunch. At the now INFAMOUS (at least to us) Bubba Gumps. Shrimp COMPANY. Where one would expect to be able to ACTUALLY eat themselves some SHRIMP. Which I reeeeaaaallllly wanted. TFI.

I spent a long time with that menu. Pondering my choices. And chose. The Shrimp Shack Pasta. To which our server (who’s name is PERMANENTLY erased from my memory bank) replied, “Oh, I don’t think you can have that. I don’t think we have it on our menu anymore.”

WHAT??? Am I not looking AT your menu??? Do I not see it ON your menu???

So. I say. “Oh, well that’s too bad.” (in my head, of course I said lots of other things. Too. TFI) I’ll have the Penne Pasta with Shrimp.”

To which our sever server (who’s name is PERMANENTLY erased from my memory bank) replied, “Oh, I don’t think you can have that. We’re all out of shrimp.”

WHAT???!!! Am I in an alternative Universe where it’s not actually possible to order SHRIMP??? At BUBBA GUMP’S??? Shrimp COMPANY????

All I can say. Is this. Life is like a box of chocolates all right. Except at Bubba Gumps you know what you’re gonna get.

NOT SHRIMP!!!

Yoo Hoo.

I tell you that because. I have no clear recollection of my little Friendship boat ride. Such was the rage Captain Dan evoked. In Sher.

But. Sher’s rages don’t last too long. Unlike others I know. And. By the time our boat stopped at the Swan and Dolphin. The Yacht and Beach Club. The All Star Resorts (all of them, TFI). The Publix. And Walmart. And docked at the Boardwalk, the rage was over.

And. As I de-shipped, Captain Dan said, “Everyone loves an Irish girl!”

Who could rage against that???

We were a bit early for our ADR so we wandered around the Boardwalk. And went into The General Store. To shop. Of course!!!

What fascinated me was the wide selection of frozen foods they had. Pizza. Burritos. I think even the fixin’s for a turkey dinner. Including stuffing and cranberry sauce.

Now. I don’t know for certain how you all feel. But as for myself. I am on VACATION. There is NO WAY I’m cooking ANYTHING. Even a frozen beef and bean burrito.

I’m just sayin’.

Yoo Hoo.

After the BIG LAUGH at the thought of cooking whilst on vacation, we sauntered off to Spoodles.

(Insert pic of Spoodles here ‘cause Sher didn’t take one. Apparently.)

Our sever was really sweet and I actually have no clue what her name was. But she brought us several yummy adult loverlies, so that might be the reason. Why.

We had:

Sangria. Something called (I think) a Sunset Surprise. Which was. Quite surprisingly refreshing. And loverly. And. PARADISE!!!!!

I think I also had a glass of wine. Knowing me, it was a Riesling. Or a pinot grigio. B had some blue chocolate frozen drink. Which also. Was yummy. And loverly.

Did I mention this liquid repast was both yummy and loverly??? ‘Cause it was. Just so you know.

As I pondered the menu something PARTICULARLY wonderful and aromatic wafted past. My nose.

What WAS that???? WHAT???

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was The Smell of Free Dining!!!!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the garlic shrimp (Yep, I got my shrimp on bay-bee!!) and B had the Grilled Lamb Kefta with couscous and tzatziki sauce (that’s funny. I had the most delish meal last night that was a trio – duck, shrimp and lamb. I wasn’t a fan of the lamb. And, just now, as I typed this, I benembered I wasn’t a fan of the lamb. Then. Either. Wish I had benembered that last night!!!)

I also chose the Oak-fired New York Strip with sweet potato steak fries and a horseradish chive cream drizzle. What can I say?? First and foremost, I am a beef eater.

EMBRACE ME FOR WHO I AM PEOPLE!!!!!! Of course. I know you do. I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know that you love me!!!!!

B had the Portuguese Seafood Stew - shrimp, oyseters, clams, mussels, calamari, scallops, crab meat, and fingerling potatoes which was also really, really good.

For dessert B had the gelato and I had the sugar free cheesecake.

I KNOW!!!!!! I have NO IDEA what I was thinking. The yummy loverly adult liquid repast, benember????

Yoo Hoo. Even though I couldn’t finish it, the meal at Spoodles was lovely. And. I would recommend it. Really, really.

After aaaaalllllllll that food, we felt like fatties. Kinda like Violet Beauregarde. After that unfortunate incident. With the gum. Minus the blue part. Though. TFI.

So we decided to walk back to MGM. But first. I had to swing by the Boardwalk pool to give my regards to Pennywise. :teeth:

Now. Let me just say here. As I did then. And there. MANY TIMES. I LOVE my friend B. But really. Just exactly how many pictures of birds, bunnies and lizards does one need, anyway???? Let’s just say the walk took a little longer than it should have. And leave it at that.

After we took a picture of EVERY lizard in ALL of Orlando, possibly in ALL of Florida even, we arrived back at MGM.

Bag check, finger wiggle, “Everyone loves an Irish girl”, yada, yada.

And headed towards Fantasmic. Neither of us had ever seen it before.

I KNOW!!!!!

But. Can I just say right here, that theatre is HARD TO FIND!!!!!

We must have walked past it a hundred times. And then I asked for directions.

‘Cause I’m not a man.

Of course we sat in the “wet(ish) zone”. And there was a group of Disney dads. With their girls. Right behind us.

Digression alert!!!!!

One thing I forgot to tell you earlier was this. I had been missing phone calls from incoming Vikings all day. Because my phone was in my bag. And I couldn’t hear it.

Kind of like a tree falling in a forest when no one’s around. I think. Or maybe not.

Yoo Hoo. Before I sat in the wet zone. I put my phone in my back pocket. Instead.

And set it to vibrate.

Digression over….

Now. Take a look at my shorts in the pic’s. In the last chapter. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

I could be wrong but I’m guessing my vibrating backside made that show pretty Fantasmic for those Disney dads. Too.

I’m just guessing. But there was the applause. And that wave. They did. Every time my phone started. Vibrating.

Yoo Hoo.

There are no words I could come up with to describe Fantasmic. Except that it is. In fact. Fantasmic.

Here. Look see.

You’ll just have to make do with the pics. Or read someone else’s report. That’s better with words. Than me. Like Mr. Silli. Just be sure to bring your Merriam-Webster online dictionary. With you. :rotfl2:

Of course I snapped the obligatory hat at night shot on the way out.

http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/mgm.jpg

As we waited in a short queue for the bus back to Pop.

I looked at my watch. And giggled.

PS~ lest you think I forgot my other friends, rest easy. They had a VERY busy day with us and were quite exhausted!!!

See??

OH!!! PPS~ DU?? I guess you’ll just have to wait a little longer to see if Sher gets a Disney surprise a la Hucifer!!!!!

BBL with actual content :rotfl:

Back :)

As I pondered the menu something PARTICULARLY wonderful and aromatic wafted past. My nose.

What WAS that???? WHAT???

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was The Smell of Free Dining!!!!!! Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had the garlic shrimp (Yep, I got my shrimp on bay-bee!!) and B had the Grilled Lamb Kefta with couscous and tzatziki sauce (that’s funny.

I also chose the Oak-fired New York Strip with sweet potato steak fries and a horseradish chive cream drizzle. What can I say?? First and foremost, I am a beef eater.

Mmmm those shrimp were quite excellent. I was sad we did not order more of them. Ry had tha calamari and the Garlic Shrimp were way better. Though the calamari was good too.

I had the Oak Planked Salmon and it was to die for. I have never been so sad to not be hungry in all my life. I ate about 1/3 of it. Sad. Sad. Sad. I wish I could have some more right now.

Next year we are going to Spoodles much earlier in the trip. Mr Silly still thinks we should take a year off from WDW. Just because we have several big trips in the works already for next year. Silly might be a good choice for a screen name afterall.

LY~MI and it is so much fun to read all these trippies :rotfl2:

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Very good Chris! Now you can add "The Magic of the Vibrating Phone in My Back Pocket" to the rest of your charms!! :rotfl2:

Todd mentioned Pan-like qualities. I sense some Tinker Bell-like qualities. As well. Myself. :thumbsup2

[Yzma and Kronk]

Nevermind......I need to read the whole thing!!

OK - I'm back.

I had a brain-fart in the middle....sorry!

But excellent chapter none the less!

Here's the thing I love about Disney. You say pot-a-toe, I say potta -oh.

We went to Spoodles. Same trip. Different night.

I would give it two thumbs down. Very perky happy CM, but she kept getting everything all messed up. Steak was really bad and overcooked, but I was too tired to send it back. It was free. I felt bad. For her. She was having a bad night.
Calamari was just OK too. (I agree Haley) Don't remember what my friend K had, but they messed up her order twice. Not good.
But two great reviews, here on this TR.
So who knows?

I could be wrong but I’m guessing my vibrating backside made that show pretty Fantasmic for those Disney dads. Too.

I’m just guessing. But there was the applause. And that wave. They did. Every time my phone started. Vibrating.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[AshClan]

You are still behind me!! OF course, you got there a few days earlier. AND now you are going to rely on me to help your memory....Aren't you?!

And Haley has mad skillz! She's beating everybody to the "first post" punch on the TRs! Great job, Haley!!

Loved to hear that you liked Spoodles. We are heading there in a few weeks. The sound of "Filet and Sweet Potato Fries" is music to my ears! Hope it is as good when we try it out!! And....after the whole Capt. Dan/Bubba Gumps flashback, I'm happy that you were able to get some shrimp! I'm sure that eased the pain of reliving that horrible experience!!! :rotfl2:

[Grammyof2]

Not sure what is funnier, Yak's brain fart(wonder what kind of noise that makes) or Bubba Gumps, no shrimp for you. That moment will live forever, and has repeated itself over and over, and not just at Bubba Gumps.


I am postitive that I called you during Fantasmic, cause I was eating somewhere in Gerogia, and it wasn't free. I am glad I contributed to the wave that evening pirate:

[sheridac]

And Magic Kingdom: Splash Mountain Hair And. Sher Find Something That’s Free!! Really!!!!!!

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s 6:00 am. And the alarm is ringing. But it’s on B’s side of the not-so-handy-dandy bedside table. And B’s not-so-much a morning gal.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG GGGGGG!!!!!

It’s 6:10 am. And some freakin’ annoying alien is on the phone. Where’s my Pal?? What happened to my Pal???? WHERE’S THE FRICKIN’ PAL?????

Yes. Pick you chin up off the floor. I do get up this early. Even at Disney.

“Why, dear God, why????” I’m sure you’re asking.

And the answer would be. So I could run. And workout. Yep. It’s true. The only way Sher can combat The Smell of Free Dining is with The AM Run and Workout.

Which. To be honest. I kinda sorta like. A teeny tiny bit.

As I pulled on my sneaks….

Digression Alert!!!

I had THE hardest time finding these sneakers. I searched high. I searched low. I couldn’t find EXACTLY what I wanted. Or. If I liked them, they didn’t come in my size. I FINALLY found a pair. At JC Pennys. Size 3. Childrens. They have rhinestones and blue flowers on the bottom.

Well. Rhinestones on the top. Not the bottom. TFI.

Why do I tell you this?? I have not a clue. Other than this. Please remind me not to wear these sneakers while committing crimes. ‘K???

Not that I would. Or would I?? :teeth:

Digression over…..

As I pulled on my sneaks. I looked at my watch. And giggled.

For two reasons this time. First. I was still NOT AT WORK!!! And second. Most of the Vikings were scheduled to arrive. TODAY!! And I was having dinner with a fat lot of them later. That evening. Where I had to pull out some mad skilz.

But more on that later.

Yoo Hoo.

I grabbed my refillable for life mug. And. Ran down the steps. Hung a louie at the Big Wheel. And a rightie at the 8 track player. And found myself lakeside.

Digression Alert!!!

I always carry 2 things with me when I run. My phone. And my Ipod. I’m very musical. And I love ALL kinds of music. ALL kinds. And I sing. Along. When I run.

The route I take at home goes through a cemetery. I like it. It’s peaceful and quite. No one stares at me.

Except last Memorial Day weekend. That is.

Here’s the thing. I always enter the cemetery from the back. Where there’s a building. That obstructs my view. Of the cemetery.

Yoo Hoo.

As I came in. Aretha pops up. You know the one I mean. So. Here I am. Going along. Singing at the top of my lungs. And. I get to the chorus. As I come around. The corner of the building.

Singing.

You make me feel like a natural woman.

And there they were.

Ten cars.

All lined up.

In a row.

Staring at Sher.

Grinning at Sher.

Actually.

NOT a funeral.

Vet’s. Visiting.

I’m pretty sure I brought them back. To the glory days. Of the USO. It might have had something to do with the grins.

Or the applause.

And. It could have been worse. The next song on the playlist was. Save a Horse. Ride a Cowboy. Followed by. SOS. Man I Feel Like a Woman. I could go on. But I won’t.

This time.

Well, now. I’ve digressed so far this time even I don’t know where I was going. With this.

Oh right!!!!!

If any of you were on the lakeside of the 70’s or 60’s buildings. Or the parking lot side of the 50’s building. Between Sept 28 and Oct 3. Did you see me waving???? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure you heard me.

I’m just sayin’.

Yoo Hoo.

I came around to the Food Court. For the DREADED Nescacrap. Which I had to endure. This am and tomorrow am. Because although Grammy was arriving today. WITH THE GOLDEN COFFEEMAKER. She was staying at the Swan.

WHAT????????

SHE says. Pop told her. There were no rooms. For that night. I guess that might have been true.

All I know for certain. Is this.

REAL WOMEN DO NOT DRINK NESCACRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That stuff is swill!!!! It is worse than swill!!! It is the foam on top of swill!!! No. The bacteria in the foam on top of swill!!!!!!

But what’s a girl to do??? When she needs her caffeine??

Not that there’s any real caffeine in Nescacrap. But. My brain talked my body into. It.

That and the promise of the real thing. Later on.

As I made my way back to my room I passed some sweeties playing in the poop jets. Their kids were there. Too. Standing on the side. Watching their dads.

No!!! I’m just kidding!!! Those Disney dads let their kids in.

Every third turn.

Well. Now. That’s enough for now. To wrap your heads around. You poor souls!!!!

I’ll get to the Splash Mountain Hair and the Freebies next time.

Find Chapter 10 Here!!!! (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?p=15079355#post15079355)

[GADISNEYGIRL]

Chris, you're such a tease! Thanks for sharing the cemetary story again! I laugh out loud every time I picture it!!

And cause Rhonda is first, I'm going to try and be second...Will it work?

Blessings!

Oh yeah -great report. Rhonda doesnt' like the coffee either. There.

I'm all caught up now, laughing and smiling and giggling as appropriate!

[Yzma and Kronk]

Very funny Sher!

This is where we are opposites. I'm NOT a morning person. As I was reading I felt so sorry for B. All that noise, noise, noise at 6am!
I'm sure the sparkle from the sneakers was irritating to her also!

;)

:rotfl2:

But Bravo for running before walking 10,000 miles!

love the "attention getting" tee...i know i would have taken a double
take!


when i saw your pic of mickey...all tucked in..i thought to myself...he such
a lucky guy..to have found such a lovely girl..[just my imagination running
away from me...

i sure wished we had crossed tracks...it is so evident how much you enjoyed
sharing your happy feelings with others....well since i didn't run across any
you guys..i was forced to devoured the cholocolate bars, poor me....i also
noticed you, was smiling in all your pics...if walt himself, had caught you, i'm
100% sure, he would have chosen you to have been "the" disneygirl
ambassador! you!...lil role model...

that's zzub..and his insights..i'm taking he 's a meat & potatoes..man,
after his comment about waiting & salads...

..i could be wrong..but i think if you and melly girl got together..could be a
few problems...i never realized...how much your husband & gary s. looked
a like...and you know how much time she spent riding mission space?
:cat: fight? especially if she put her paw: paw: on...the control board.

i'm still catching up..[ok, i admitt it, i always sneaked lookin at the pics
first...and i sorta recovering from our cruise..we sorta party liked teenagers
..alone...with the parents away on vacation...for 11 days. kind like the old

this cruise]..

true confessions..on pirate night..a very nice/good looking lady approached
me..and told me how "nice" my legs were...i can't say why, but i thought of
you. :rolleyes1 ..daggone it!..i should have asked if she was Irish...you know
they have an eye for pickin up such details..*well i was always told growing
up,that real Irish girls are covered with honey...something you have went a
long way of proving..in all of your delightful & a "pinch of devious" ways.


at barbadous...we went on an excursion..with one other couple [from
england..they knew the royal family..funny becuase at test t..,we rode
with a fella..on prince harry polo team..see? the benfit of socializing..]

but they had rum for 30 people..well you know how the Irish feels about

BTW, BTW, coffee at the Swan was pretty good. A latte even, I believe :wizard:

[ZZUB]

I could go on. But I won’t.I find that hard to believe.

The coffee at Disney is lousy. But actually getting up to run? That's just freaking insane!

And so is this: :moped:

[NAB]

You did get dressed before you put those sneakers on to go run didn't you.

People wouldn't be looking at the sneakers anymore , just saying.

[Mr. Silly]

Mmmm those shrimp were quite excellent. I was sad we did not order more of them. Ry had the calamari and the Garlic Shrimp were way better. Though the calamari was good too.

The calamari were horrifying. There were what appeared to be a whole baby octopus in many of them, and in general tentacles do not belong on the dinner table, IMHO. The Sweet Potato Fries looked good, though I had none. The Gnocci were really good - they weren't on the menu, but they had them, and I enjoyed them. And the Creme Brulée made it all worth it. I think it was the best Creme Brulée I had while in WDW this time.


Mr Silly still thinks we should take a year off from WDW. Just because we have several big trips in the works already for next year. Silly might be a good choice for a screen name afterall.

Actually, well, um, no, I think that might not work out, actually, but we can talk about it more later. I think I should have gone with some form of "Capt. Nemo," for a nickname but it's too late now, and I am stuck with this goofy moniker forever now, despite my generally grim and somber outlook on life. Now that I think about it, "Mr. Gravitas" is pretty cool as far as nicks go, maybe I'll reregister.


It’s peaceful and quite.

Quite what?


The bacteria in the foam on top of swill!!!!!!

I just wanted to quote that.


Exactly how mini are you, Sher?

She's so small that one time I walked right past her when i was leaving the pool area and didn't even see her. I heard this tiny voice call out "Mr. Silly" like in Horton Hears a Who, and luckily I spotted her. H. is super short, and sheridac looked short next to H.

BTW, I am just kidding about the "tiny voice" thing. She definitely projects volume.


We went to Spoodles. Same trip. Different night.

I would give it two thumbs down.

The first time we ate there (in '05) I was unimpressed (though the dessert was good). The second time (in '06) it was pretty good. The calamari were horrific to behold, and it was definitely too loud (note that my inner crank always needs something to complain about), but besides those two things everyone was relatively pleased.

[HaleyB]

What he is trying to say here is he licked the dish clean, and then flagged down the waiter as he was clearing the table next to us and licked those dishes clean too. The ones the Creme Brulee came in, tfi.

I find that hard to believe.

The coffee at Disney is lousy. But actually getting up to run? That's just freaking insane!

And so is this: :moped:
Hey fella, I said if you were in an accident I wouldn't stop for a beer and you call me insane??? That FHOAM is a moped of another colour though.

And.

I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know you love me!!!!!

You did get dressed before you put those sneakers on to go run didn't you.

Lou!!!! I had NO idea!!!! Not that there's anything wrong with that!!!

And the Creme Brulée made it all worth it. I think it was the best Creme Brulée I had while in WDW this time.
Mr. Silli - did you like the Creme Brulée??? 'Cause I'm not quite sure. If you did. :teeth:

What he is trying to say here is he licked the dish clean, and then flagged down the waiter as he was clearing the table next to us and licked those dishes clean too. The ones the Creme Brulee came in, tfi.
I guess that clears that little mystery. Up. :teeth:

Quite what?
Just. Quite. What?? Why can't something just be. Quite?? Why??!!!

Nuh-uh. I think H is shorter. TFI.

Just finished reading the entire TR. I'm in and subscribing! Just figured out that a bunch of you all met at WDW and I want to read all about it.

I agree with ZZUB on the jogging in the morning - INSANE.

Aaaww, Sammy!!! May I call you Sammy?? Actually, I just did. I have a habit. Of renaming people. It's true.

You may...you did...I like it.

Can I go OT on your TR for just a sec?....see, samc is one those things where the 's' stand for somethin and the 'a' for somethin etc....any-hoo the 'm' is for me and my name, mel(anie) but there's another pretty famous Mel on these boards...have you heard of her??? :moped: ....so TFI, I prefer Sammy and thank you for thinking of it :)

Fresh meat!!!!

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And WELCOME to my trip report!

Pull up a chair. Stay awhile. You can leave the lights on. I don't mind one bit. Throw peanut shells on the floor. Too. :teeth:

[MyTalula]

Sher, you my dear are a laugh riot! I hurt from laughing... but in a good kinda way. Hurtsogood song ringing in my ears now. Damn

Hey!!! More fresh, uh, another newbie!!! :teeth:

Welcome, welcome. Felicitations. And all that.

Here's the thing. At first. I thought you meant that Linda Rhonstadt song.

And. I thought.

"Why is this person singing Linda Rhonstadt. To me???"

But.

You meant JCM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And he can sing to me. Anytime. He. Wants!!!!!!!

And you can too. Assuming you can. Sing. But. Even if you can't. Offkey singing is A-ok. With me.

Along with peanut shells on the floor.

No coke zero. Though.

But. I digress. (see how it's done, sammy??!)

Thanks for coming. To play. With me.

mad love from,

~me

[sheridac]

I have a confession. To make. By now you’ve probably noticed. I’m not on my arrival day. Anymore.

If you’re observant.

And you’re fluent in gibberish.

Or you’re Schpupin!

Clearly I will not be wearing The Tee. Again.

And. So. THE Confession. Is this.

The Power is not really in The Tee. TFI.

The Power is in ME. And YOU. And you, and you, and you. Yes, even you!!!!

Power To The People!!!!!!!

Here’s the thing. I like to joke about my mad skillz. But. Really. I have this theory. I try to live my life by. It’s a simple one. Really.

Be nice to people. They’ll be nice back.

I told you it was simple. Maybe that makes me a simple woman. I don’t know.

But. If it does. I’m ok with that.

My other theories are these: Don’t sweat the small stuff. Don’t sweat the big stuff either. (Really. Don’t sweat at all. ‘Cause that’s just gross!!!!)

And. Embrace life!!!! It’s for living!! And laughing!!!!

Every day.

It’s just too short.

To not.

Again. It may be quite simple. But now. That it’s done. I hope you don’t mind…

But I digress….yet again. I know you’re not surprised in the least. By that.

Yoo Hoo.

I boogied through the foosball table and went back to the room.

Now. When last we left B she was slumbering semi-peacefully after mumbling something about coming into the light??? Oh. And. Diamonds are girl’s best friend???

I’m not really too sure what that was about. She may have been momentarily blinded by those rhinestones on my sneakers. But. Since she doesn’t really remember. I guess we’ll never know. For sure.

Let’s just say B wasn’t exactly ready.

But. Since Dead Men Tell No Tales. And I would be one. If I told. I’ll just say this. B is not-so-much a morning person. And leave it at that.

We took a look at the pictures I took yesterday and I bemoaned a bit about gravity, age and breastfeeding not being very good friends. To Sher.

But then. B had THE BEST idea!!!!

We’d establish a fund. And get Jerry Lewis to go on TV. And raise money.

For my vertical enhancement. :teeth:

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’re funny. Sometimes.

At least we like to think so.

Segway.

We packed up and shipped out. Did a little disco inferno on the way to the bus stop. Might have done a little bus stop with a couple of Mug Men. Too.

Or did I???? ;)

There was the tiniest bit of a line at the bus stop. For to go to The Magic Kingdom.

And just when we were about to hop on?? Mr. Bus Driver said, “hmmm. I’m not sure there’s room for anymore.”

So. (benember my theory??) I said. “Please, Mr. Bus Driver. Don’t you think you could fit just 2 more?” And he smiled at me. And said, “Come on aboard.”

Power To The People!!!!!!!

We were off!!!!!!!

I was stoked!!!!! ‘Cause I love me my Magic Kingdom. It’s THE place. For me. When you step through that tunnel and hear the music. See Main Street. All the happy faces. And that CASTLE!!!!!

Sigh.

We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

We’re here:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/IMG_0480-1.jpg
I have a funny little story to tell about this skort I’m wearing. Remind me when I get to BTMR.

But. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT???????? Over the castle??????

Good Gravy!!!! They’re de-golding the castle!!!!! How sad is that???? It’s like Cinderella after the ball. A couple of my girl friends after the prom. Too.

And. Why do we have to SEE it???? WHY????

Can’t I keep living in my rosy-colored glasses little world???

Huh????

Yoo Hoo.

After our round of obligatory (at least to me) pho-toes. We made our way.

To Splash, Splash bay-bee!!!!!

I may have said. Just once or twice. I LOVE THE THRILL RIDES!!!!!!!!! And. So does B.

And. Splash Mountain. Was. Walk on.

I’ll say it again.

SPLASH MOUNTAIN WAS WALK ON!!!!!!!!!!

We did the run walk anyway. Well. B did the run walk. I did the boogie walk. Forwards. Backwards. In circles. Too. It’s what I do. It's a bare necessity!!!!

And. Really. You all do it. Too. The run walk, I mean. Admit it. Come on. You’ll feel better if you do. Trust Sher!!!!!

When we got to the loading area we pretty much had our choice. Of logs. And seats. On sad log. CM Earl tells me, “Sit right up front. It’s the best seat in the house!!”

And. I almost did.

BUT WAIT!!!!!!

“I don’t want Splash Mountain hair, Earl!!!!! It’s only 9:30 and I’m having dinner tonight with my imaginary Internet friends. Most of whom I haven’t met. Yet. Who aren’t scary at all. Even though all our spouses think we’re about to get kidnapped. And sold into, well something.”

Personally I think there’s plenty of times Mr. Sheridac might like to see the backside of me!!!!! I mean, he studies it often enough!!!! :rotfl2:

“And Earl. I want to look good, Earl!!!! I’ll sit in the back, thank-you-very-much!!!!!”

And so. We did.

And all was right as rain. Sure as you’re born!!!!

Until the drop. I’m pretty sure it was that GIANT wave. You know. The one that sufer dude on Gilligans Island surfed in on. And out again. And why is it that ALL those folks could come and go but the 7 castaways never could???

But I digress. The point is. That wave made it’s way to Splash Mountain. After all these years. Right on time. Just for Sher.

Yep. You guessed it. Splash Mountain hair.

Here’s the funny thing. You might not get. About me. Unless you know me. REALLY know me.

I really didn’t care. That’s what I said. I really didn’t care.

Too much. But. Here’s the thing. I really hadn’t planned to go back to the hotel. Before dinner. With my imaginary Internet friends. Many of whom I’d be meeting that night. For the first time.

And. I know that they know that I know that they know that I know that they know that I know that they love me.

Their friends and spouses???? Well. They were the ones that thought I was:

a) a bad influence (hi Mr. Silli!!!!)
12) maybe a scary kidnapper

and

IV) all kinds of other things, I’m sure.

In short. (Not unlike myself. TFI) I wanted to make a good impression. But. I really wasn’t worried. After all. Everybody loves Sher!!! That’s a given. But. Sher wanted good-looking hair. Too.

So. I put on my mad skillz thinking cap. I’ll just stop and shop on Main Street. For some hair thing-a-ma-bobbers.

Right after I ride BTMR bay-bee!!!!!!

Now. You may have noticed. I’m a teeny tiny bit. On the small(ish) side. So. The question is. Am I tall enough to ride???

Let’s see:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g88/sheridac/IMG_0484-1.jpg
The funny thing about this is the CM is actually shorter than me!!!!!

("What, what's that?? Oh. Right!!")

Segway.

See that cute little skort I’m wearing??? Let me just say right now. I love skorts!!!

For 2 reasons: I like short skirts. And. I like to bend over.

Yoo Hoo.

I hadn’t worn this skort in a while. And when I put it on that morning. I noticed. It was a tad too big. But. It had a drawstring. Which I drew. Up tight. But. Not tight enough. Apparently.

Benember the wave on Splash, Splash Bay-bee??? Well. Then. My skort may have gotten a tad wet(ish). So I had to stop. And re-draw. So. I untied the knot. And pulled smartly.

And the left half of the string came off in my hand.

Rhut-Rho!!!!

Next Up: Can Two Grown Women Fit on The AstroOrbiter (And Why Would They Want To???) and The Freebies (I promise)!!!!

PS~ How many of you are sitting there wondering what I did about my skort???

Hahahahhaa!!!!!!!!!!! Next time!!!

I'll be waiting - thanks for sharing :teeth:

Sigh...I'll have to read about Vikings, won't ever get to be one. I love, LOVE my Coke Zero, and I couldn't give it up.

Wonderful, oh mad skilld one!! When I saw you that night I noticed nary a TRACE of Splash Mountain hair!!!!!!!!!

Zippy Dee Doo Dah!!!!!!

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Sigh.

We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

Are you SURE?

'Cause I SWEAR I thought that was Kansas.

Behind you.

But... Yellow Brick Road it is.

After all.

Now then... I am confusselled about 'skorts'. Myself.

I don't know where they belong in the grand scheme of things.

It's these small stuffs that I sweat.

Shorts... NO.

Skirt... NO.

Do you iron them?

Do you fold them and put them in a drawer?

Do you hang them? Up.

See?

I cannot abide by them.

They are more difficult to deal with than...well... Corn nuts.

For one.

Is it corn?

Or nuts?

Ok.

BTW.

Your trippie is KILLING Me(l).

You sure know how to work your jelly.

Cheers, my friend, Melly.

Hey ya...that's me...fresh meat...a nice rare steak :p

I like being a newbie cause if I make any mistakes, I can just reply "but..but..I'm just a newbie" *grins*

BTW - I like skorts too. comfy. short for the heat. no worries about your panties showing :teeth: and ya...i'm wondering what you did about it.

MEL: I place mine in my dresser, one on top of the other, no wrinkles, no muss, no fuss, the only way to go.





HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fresh meat!!!!

Uh.

Yep. You guessed it. Splash Mountain hair.

Here’s the funny thing. You might not get. About me. Unless you know me. REALLY know me.

I really didn’t care. That’s what I said. I really didn’t care.:faint: Next, you're gonna tell me Santa isn't real. And. Quit scaring the newbies. blue_river seems nice. We need nice. And. Pamlur. Drink what youwill. You've subscribed to the Swill Queen. . .

blue_river IS nice.........we all need nice. A little bit of niceness goes a long way. My momma always told me "if you don't have anything NICE to say...don't say anything at all"

my motto too...i follow it...always...WELL...ALMOST always :teeth:

[MyTalula]

Here's the thing. At first. I thought you meant that Linda Rhonstadt song.

And. I thought.

"Why is this person singing Linda Rhonstadt. To me???"

Linda Rhonstadt NOOOOOOOOO I would never ever do THAT to YOU.


You meant JCM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now we're on the same track. ;)


And you can too. Assuming you can. Sing. But. Even if you can't. Offkey singing is A-ok. With me.

Well it sounds good in my head, when I'm shout/singing, whilst skiing, or mountain biking, or runwalking, cause see I don't run anywhere, ever. My DD now shout/sings too, DH pretends he doesn't know either of us. :teeth:

[samc]

But. I digress. (see how it's done, sammy??!)

aahhhhhhhh.....now I got it.

[samc]

Here’s the thing. I like to joke about my mad skillz. But. Really. I have this theory. I try to live my life by. It’s a simple one. Really.

Be nice to people. They’ll be nice back.

I told you it was simple. Maybe that makes me a simple woman. I don’t know.

Embrace life!!!! It’s for living!! And laughing!!!!

Every day.

It’s just too short.


10-4........I knew I liked you.....and you knew that I knew that you knew....


It may be quite simple. But now. That it’s done. I hope you don’t mind…

Oh. In the refrigerator, right beside the Coke Zero, I have Rosa Regale. Equally good stuff.

Edited because I forgot to say that I love your group picture.

[sheridac]

(And Why Would They Want To???) and The Freebies (I promise)!!!!

Alrighty then. Where were we?? Right. When last we left this intrepid reporter she was in quite the fix. Caught with her pants down. So to speak.

Never fear!!! I just hiked my skort up and rolled it over a couple of times. Kind of like what I need to do to a certain part of my anatomy when I’m not wearing my anti-gravity apparati. You know that of which I speak. The one(s) that gravity, age and breastfeeding haven’t been such swell friends. Too.

Yeah.

Nice mental picture for ya!!!

You’re Welcome!!!!

Segway.

After BTMR there was a little matter. Up for consideration. Fix my drawers??? Or go ride Johnny???

DUH!!!!

No contest there. Plus. Going through Adventureland WAS the logical path back to Main Street, right???

And. Yo Ho, Yo Ho, you guessed it.

WALK ON!!!! Again.

I kid you not.

I am thoroughly enchanted with the new POTC. POTC2, not so much. That was 2 and a half hours of my life I’ll never get back. TFI.

Yoo Hoo.

I did not manage to get ANY good Johnny pics. Either. So Friends, POST AWAY.

Please and thank you.

HaleyB!!!! This means you!!!

BTW~ Are those boats faster than they used to be??? Or is it just me??

After we de-boarded our pirate ship aaargh!!! We exited into ye old dump shop. I played Lady Pirate with a couple of boys.

Their wives weren’t too happy. :teeth:

JOKING!!!!!!

Then we stepped out into the bright sunny day.

Segway.

I’ve heard. Since I’ve been back. A couple of so-called Suth-nah’s.

COMPLAINING ABOUT THE HEAT.

WHAT???!!!

Can I just say right now. I LOVED THIS WEATHER!!!! It was PERFECT!!!

And. As multiple Vikings can attest too. I spent every waking moment.

BASKING IN THE SUN!!!!!

Yoo Hoo.

(Actually. At this point in my notes. I have a note. It reads, “in and out”. I have not a clue what that means. Let’s just pretend we didn’t see that, ‘k??)

B and I meandered our way back towards Main Street. For to find. Three things.

1) hair thingamabobbers for Sher’s hair.
2) safety pins for Sher’s skort.
3) A CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH

THOSE THINGS ARE KILLER!!!!!!!!!!!!! They ROCK MY SOCKS!!!!! Or they would. If I was wearing any. Underwear either. For that matter.

No!!! I’m just kidding. Or am I??? ;)

But I digress (are you taking notes sammy??).

We stopped in the first little shop. I forget what it’s called. You know. The one with all the Disney crap??

WAIT!!!!

THAT’S what that note meant!!!!!! In and out. ‘Cause that’s what we did. We went IN AND OUT of EVERY freaking store.

No soup for me.

No hairthingamabobbers either.

Or safety pins.

BUT THEN.

I had a BRILLIANT idea.

The (insert fancy French accent here) hat shop!!!!!

SCORE!!!!!!

Not only did they have bobby pins.

They GAVE them to me.

As in. FREE!!!!!!!!!!!

Power to The People Baby!!!!!!!

Something FREE at the World. Whatdaya know!!!!!

Be nice to people. They’ll be nice back.

See now. If you know me. Here’s where you’d be asking yourself.

“What??? Sher settled for bobby pins?? Not tigger ears??? No Goofy hat???"

Here’s the thing. I had my heart. Set. On the cuuuuutttttteeeeesssstttt pair. Of Mickey ears. I saw them last December in Animal Kingdom. They were cheetah. I think. Maybe leopard. I’m not sure. But. They were super cute. And. For once in my life.

I resisted the impulse to buy.

And regretted it this whole past year.

But. I could ONLY get them at Animal Kingdom. And I wasn’t going there. For another day.

So. It was bobby pins for me. Plus. I can do some snazzy hair maneuvers. I’m like MacGyver. But for hair.

Now. Where was I???

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!!!

Oh. My.

A moment of silence please.

But. Holy Crap!!!! Those suckers are BIG!!!! So. B and I split one. And used one snack credit.

Did I mention yet that this was FREE????

‘Cause it was. Just so you know.

Seriously though. That sucker was soooo big. I could only eat half of a half.

I know. HORRORS!!!!!

But. There ya go.

As we passed the corner into Tomorrowland 2 CM’s eyeballed my ‘cream. And asked Sher to share.

Sher has no problem. With sharing. TFI.

Yoo Hoo.

Space Mountain...

Aaaaahhhh. The Third Mountain. My day is complete(ish).

Power to The People!!! ‘Cause this line was soooo not. A line. At all. We rode twice. In a row. Of course this ride is a perfect example of why one would choose a skort. TFI.

Digression Alert!!!!!

B was perfectly happy to be along on this little adventure. Knowing she’d be meeting up with my imaginary Internet friends. She only had one request. And that was Boma. Which we were doing. That very night. In fact.

But. For some reason. Unbeknownst to me. And. TO THIS DAY I WILL NOT UNDERSTAND.

Her eyes landed on the AstroOrbiter. And she wanted a ticket to ride.

Why???? Dear God, Why???!!!!

But. I went along with my friend. It was the right thing to do.

I guess. :teeth:

I swear this is THE lamest ride. Holy crap!!!!

But. A funny thing happened on the way to the AstroOrbiter.

On the way up we recalled a trip we took together. To St. Louis. And. In typically SUCKER tourist fashion. Shelled out the bucks. To go up in the Arch.

WHAT A RIP OFF!!!!!!!!

Did you know once you get in that POD and the doors close. THERE’S NO WINDOWS???

Well. There’s a window in the pod. But. What you see.

Is the inside of the arch.

I do. NOW.

Yoo Hoo.

As we approached our own personal tin can of cyclic H-E double hockey sticks, B says to me, “Gee, I’m not sure I can get in that.”

So. Silly me. Says, “ Sure you can. You get in first. I’ll get in behind you.”

Well. Let me just say right now. Two grown women CAN ride AstroOrbiter. I still have not a clue as to why they would want to.

Yoo Hoo.

I climbed in behind my friend. But could not fit my legs around my friend. And ended up riding the entire ride. With my knees. Up around my ears.

Now I know what my twins felt like cooped up inside my 105 lb body for nine months.

If you were in Tomorrowland on September 29th, that HYSTERICAL hyena you heard???

That would be me. I COULD NOT STOP. Laughing. Like a loon. The ENTIRE ride. With my knees. Up around my ears.

Segway.

No trip to the Magic Kingdom would be complete. For me. Without paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow and, of course. The Carousel of Progress.

Sigh.

That’s the magic right there, folks.

God bless B ‘cause right about this time she decided she’d like to retreat. To the Pop. Which was A-ok with me. Since my skort kept threatening. To do some retreating of its own.

But. We couldn’t leave without picking up a hitchhiker. So. We went back through the castle. And caught ourselves a doombuggy.

Good times.

As we headed back down Main Street. And out towards the bus stop.

I looked at my watch. And giggled.

Up Next: Boma Baby!!!! The Swan, Yakking at the Hippy Dippy and Mr. Silli Ignores Sher!!!! (ok, even I’m fully aware that’s far too ambitious. You’ll take what I give you. and like it!!)


PS~ From what I can benember. I think the Viking contact for this day was:
Jami~ while on the hair thingamabobber quest
Gram~ while dining at Pinnochio’s
YAK~ I believe it was on The PeopleMover. My favorite ride. In all the World.

<--- Have knocked out 4 pages, 2 yoo hoos, a sack of popcorn & a dr. pepper, not a bad read.

Particularly.....


I do have a thing about using those outhouses in the sky.
You're not alone....in fact I've heard there might be a "club" for this. :rolleyes1



And. Some old(ish) guy chatted me up. His opening line??? “I like your shirt.” HOW ORIGINAL. NOT!!!!!!! Followed by, “Let me guess. You live in Florida.” Uh, nuh-uh guyoldenoughtobemygrampa, I am from Antarctica. And the grand finale. “Oh, I thought for sure with that great tan you were from Florida.” Those never worked for me either. :duck:



Got the dp's on ice & got the weekend to catch up... :hyper:

[NAB]

Sheri that is why you are so little , only half an ice cream......What am I saying I usually only get half or less after the kids get at it.

You should try the Orbitor at night...

[celerystalker]

NAB - it was half of a half.
Which makes me sick!
She's tiny like a wittle baybeeee!

Now I know what my twins felt like cooped up inside my 105 lb body for nine months.

All the rest of youse guys!!!!!

Thanks for reading!!! I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know I'm glad you're enjoying my report.

I am ignoring this thread ;)

You have got to be kidding! There is no way you have 20 year old kids!!!

Come on the rest of you crazy Vikings -- rat her out! She is full of it. She got carded everywhere you went, didn't she?

I believe you -- you obviously have heart and integrity but I just can't believe it! I'm gonna go run through a cemetery.....

[Disneyland_Mama]

Ok, I go away and come back only to find I have to read 11 pages to catch up? Good thing the kiddies are tall enough to open the fridge.

"Uh huh, you hungry honey? Go eat a Lunchable."

"Uh, huh.... dinner, dear? Uhhhh, how about you order pizza. No, not at Pizzahut.com, Mama's online. I'm reading 11 pages of Sher's outragously funny TR and I can't possibly stop now!"

Lovin' your mad skillz, girl! As I drink my coke zero.

Twins??? You had twins???? I know our bodies can do "creative" things, but you must weigh a buck five, soakin' wet! :lmao: Ok, now that I got that out.... 20 year old twins??? And you what, had them at age 10??? :rotfl2:

[Shelby5514]

I know that you know...............that I am enjoying this.

[Minnie_Moo]

The calamari were horrifying. There were what appeared to be a whole baby octopus in many of them, and in general tentacles do not belong on the dinner table, IMHO.

I totally agree. What is up with the baby octopus thing? (((SHUDDER))) This happened to me recently at Carrabba's on a free appetizer combo platter. I was told if you don't want to see the tentacles, be sure to ask for calamari "rings" only! I figured since I had a coupon for a free appetizer, I got the crappy calamari.

Sher - I am WAY behind due to my very busy work week. But I just had to comment on Mr. Silly's calamari comment.

I love going in and out of all the stores on Main St. But why is it so difficult finding sundries in the parks for minor emergencies? At least you have a fighting chance at the resort gift shops! Good thing you have mad skillz with bobby pins.

[sheridac]

MommyP and DMama~

You ladies are THE best!!!!

But.

RUN, DON'T WALK!!!!!!!!

To the nearest optometrist.

OBVIOUSLY.

You're having problems. With your vision. And totally missed something in this last chapter.

I draw your attention to exhibit A:

Never fear!!! I just hiked my skort up and rolled it over a couple of times. Kind of like what I need to do to a certain part of my anatomy when I’m not wearing my anti-gravity apparati. You know that of which I speak. The one(s) that gravity, age and breastfeeding haven’t been such swell friends. Too.

Sher - another great installment.

Full of insightful observations!

I sooooooo agree about POP - uniforms and tunes! They need a "Best of POP" CD. Now!

And. OF COURSE. A call from CAN-A-DA!!!!!
Yeah. Mr. Sheridac thanks you all for last month’s cell bill. TFI. Especially YOU Yak!!!!

Check you cell phone records, there won't be any calls to/from Canada.

Unless you are calling The Beer Store.

For special orders....

It's the double secret YAK cell phone number, comes from somewhere you can all call me cheaply. Think Amy/M&R/NM/Chappie...... ;) :teeth: However, K has to pay the price!!!

However, this does explain why everytime I called you spoke to me at record speed. YAK, YAK, YAK, bye now! :rotfl:

[Shelby5514]

Oh. And a tip. For you. From me. Don’t sit for prolonged periods of time in a hand-woven water hyacinth chair. In your undies. It doesn’t make for an attractive look. On your butt. TFI. :teeth:


Here's another one for ya. Don't sit on a vinyl car seat in the middle of August in your undies either. You'll not only scorch your bippy but you'll also rip the skin right off when you get up. OUCH!!!! Not that I've done that or anything.


Nice trippie, but you knew that. ;)

[jamal]

SHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm first, which is amazing as DS12 has not given me ANY computer time since yesterday afternoon...

Awesome chapter. I am loving the story before we enter the scene.

And this??

Two things I did feel were lacking at the Pop. Were this.

The cast members uniforms!!!!!!

No!! They HAD uniforms. Sillies!!!!! Butt. They were BUTT UGLY!!!! They looked like prison guards. EEEEK!!!

How much more fun would it be if they were dressed in bell bottoms?? Mini skirts and go-go boots??

And.

The music. They play all that great tunage but have NONE available for purchase.

The Disney Marketing Machine really missed the boat on this one. They could have had The Best of The Pop. Volumes One through Infinity. And beyond.

I would have bought them all.

We sad the same thing about the CM costumes at check in! They look like a poor version of what someone might design for POR?? I guess??? Get some groovy POP on there, Disney!!

I had not thought about the music marketing, but you are SO right! Most of us staying there have danced our hineys off to every decade of that music and would snap up a 5 CD set to take us back to POP anytime!

We're almost to BOMA! Great job.

Keep on truckin baybee.....
Mary Ann (or am I??)

[sheridac]

Sher - another great installment.

Full of insightful observations!
Yak!!! You're not calling me profound, are you??? :scared1:

Check you cell phone records, there won't be any calls to/from Canada.

Unless you are calling The Beer Store.

For special orders....

It's the double secret YAK cell phone number, comes from somewhere you can all call me cheaply.
First. I may have done that. Or maybe not. I'll never tell!!!!

Second. I TOTALLY forgot about that double-secret cell phone number!!! Now we'll be Yakking all the time!!! The good yak. Not the bad yak. :teeth:

However, this does explain why everytime I called you spoke to me at record speed. YAK, YAK, YAK, bye now! :rotfl:
Oh, NO!!!! I'm sure it was because someone else was calling. I know that you know that I know that you know that I don't care about my cell bill. I will talk for HOURS. Just ask Grammy!!!

Here's another one for ya. Don't sit on a vinyl car seat in the middle of August in your undies either. You'll not only scorch your bippy but you'll also rip the skin right off when you get up. OUCH!!!! Not that I've done that or anything.


Nice trippie, but you knew that. ;)
Shell-bee!!!!

I'm not sure I wanna know how you know that!!!! Do I???

OF COURSE I DO!!!!!!!!! Spill it sista!!!!

(why are you sitting in the car in your undies, huh?? why????)

SHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm first, which is amazing as DS12 has not given me ANY computer time since yesterday afternoon...

Awesome chapter. I am loving the story before we enter the scene.

We're almost to BOMA! Great job.

Keep on truckin baybee.....
Mary Ann (or am I??)
Jami/Mary Ann!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

I totallly love you. And I know that you know that I know that you know that!!

And.

You KNOW you'll always be Mary Ann. To Sher. But since I've been advised to drop the legend I'll be referring to our little Viking family members by their Viking names.

[AshClan]

OH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH!!!!

Oh. My.

A moment of silence please.

I KNOW!!!! (moment of silence has passed....) Jay and I split one too. Only one snack credit! (Actually, I think it was you who told us about that...) It was so yummy. We have been pining for another since then. Yummo!

Great installment (#11), Sher. :rotfl2: Now I'm off to read #12!

[AshClan]

One thing that I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. Is this. You pay BIG bucks to stay at the deluxe hotels, right??? But. You share your bus transportation with at least 2 other hotels??

Pop costs significantly less. Like. ¼ less. And shares transportation with no one else.

WHAT??!!!!

That’s just whacked. I don’t care who you are. It makes no sense. Either.

Again, ITA with you, baby! Its why I like the Epcot deluxes best. At least I can WALK to two of the parks. I just don't understand why spending MORE Disney Dollars results in LONGER bus rides. It is, as you say, whacked!

Next Up: Mr. Speedo and Mufasa’s Pride. :teeth:

Hmmmm....don't think I heard this story. Can't wait (I think....).

Ya hoo! It's almost time for Boma! Like Jami, I am really enjoying hearing the "back story", i.e., before we came along!! Maybe I'll also get the real reason for us getting ditched at the pool bar!!!!

[Loubon]

I just don't understand why spending MORE Disney Dollars results in LONGER bus rides. It is, as you say, whacked!

Oooh, ooh, I know the answer! The Pop has approximately 5,760 rooms. So does the All Stars (1,920 for each of the three). By comparison, AKL has about 1,300 and the BC/YC has about 1,200 (not sure if that counts the BCV but you get the idea). So it is strictly based on the number of people they have calculated to optimize the bus system. :)

[Grammyof2]

(I probably won’t even get to Boma!)

Yeah I sad this earlier


Oh. And a tip. For you. From me. Don’t sit for prolonged periods of time in a hand-woven water hyacinth chair. In your undies. It doesn’t make for an attractive look. On your butt. TFI. :teeth:
I know of only one solution :lmao:

I’m also sure Grammy is right. And I talked to her a bazillion times. Because we do that. Every day.

A telethon is in order to pay my phone bill :guilty:


It all looked good in my head.

Lots of things look good in there, but that doesn't really mean anything :rotfl2:



Two things I did feel were lacking at the Pop. Were this.

The cast members uniforms!!!!!!

No!! They HAD uniforms. Sillies!!!!! Butt. They were BUTT UGLY!!!! They looked like prison guards. EEEEK!!!

How much more fun would it be if they were dressed in bell bottoms?? Mini skirts and go-go boots??

And.

The music. They play all that great tunage but have NONE available for purchase.

The Disney Marketing Machine really missed the boat on this one. They could have had The Best of The Pop. Volumes One through Infinity. And beyond.

I would have bought them all.

:thumbsup2 Really, I could design some banging uniforms!!!! AND Grampy would have been all over the C/D collection. Like we need more Oldie type music in our lives :rolleyes1



We got to the bus stop for Animal Kingdom at 4:55 (ish). And thought.

SCORE!!!! No line!!!

And stood there for about 5 minutes. Before it occurred. To me. That Animal Kingdom closes at 5:00.

Duh!!!!

No soup for me.

No bus to Animal Kingdom either.

See above, lots of things look good in there................


Which meant no ears for me. Either.

Sigh.

Now. Miss B loves Sher. And. Even though Sher’s pretty cute. When she pouts. Wanted to make it better. For Sher.

And said, “Cheer up!! Maybe they’ll have those ears at the gift shop at the AKL. And if they don’t, we’ll just get ‘em tomorrow.”

Ok!!!!!

Says the Mommy to the 5 year old, and sad 5 year old smiles :rotfl2: :rotfl2:


RRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!

It was Horsey. She was there. WHERE WAS I????

“I’m in the gift shop." (Where else would Sher be, really??)

Screams, hugs, jumps and kisses all around. Intro’s too.

Now.

WHERE’S THE BAR?????????? ‘Cause Pluto’s THIRSTY!!!!!

Horsey suggested the indoor bar. But Gram and I had previously agreed to meet at the pool bar.

Yep, cause the sights there were................. :rolleyes1


Ok, the good part, I am off the phone and alive and well at the pool bar :dance3: :dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

[Hound 109]

< ----- Caught up! :woohoo:


Random thoughts as I read 15 pages of whimsy & literary brilliance:


- If dis'wife ever packed free weights...it'd be the last trippie the "hound" family ever takes. :rolleyes2



- Nice inclusion of "pop" shoutouts..such a "disco inferno", (which would be Tavares) & "Bet your sweet bippee" (dickey martin from Laugh In), & too many others to mention. :hippie:



- Facinating sequencing of chapters, addendums, sub-chapters etc. (Did you contribute to the Dewey Decimal System?)



- Lost my po riverside "refellable-for-life mug" at the beach club.... when we went swimming over there for the afternoon. (can i get a new one on ebay?)



- Regarding your two trains of thought on why disney dads like having disney moms around.....it was "answer A" ::yes::



- Do those "skorts" have back pockets to acommodate vibrating cell phones?



- Nice "shout out" to Violet Beauregarde...but perhaps Augustus Gloop would have been the more approriate comparison. I mention this for 3 reasons:

1. I've always loved the name Augustus Gloop and have never typed it out. Also, now many will silently mouth the words to themselves today...maybe when they are out driving...maybe as they gaze at patrons at a chinese "boo fey" restaurant...truly a great name in literature!

2. With Halloween next week, wouldn't Violet be a great character/costume?? Wouldn't have to go out and buy anything...just get all purpley. You wouldn't even have to puff out...just tell people that you already went through the juicer thingy.

3. Was curious if i could spell the name "Beauregarde" correctly w/o looking at it. Nope...screwed it up twice even when i looking at the word on piece of paper.



- & regarding MGM. Has always been a favorite park for disney dads. RnR RC....., Jasmine.......& back pocket vibrating phones......good times!



hound :smokin:

[sheridac]

Maybe I'll also get the real reason for us getting ditched at the pool bar!!!!
Ash!!!! I didn't ditch you, pinky swear!!! I don't think I even knew you were meeting us at the pool bar?? Besides which. I think it's pretty clear by now. We aren't good marines!!!!!

Oooh, ooh, I know the answer! The Pop has approximately 5,760 rooms. So does the All Stars (1,920 for each of the three). By comparison, AKL has about 1,300 and the BC/YC has about 1,200 (not sure if that counts the BCV but you get the idea). So it is strictly based on the number of people they have calculated to optimize the bus system. :)
And this, folks, ends your educational programming for today. :teeth:

This could be dangerous!!! :teeth:

- Nice inclusion of "pop" shoutouts..such a "disco inferno", (which would be Tavares) & "Bet your sweet bippee" (dickey martin from Laugh In), & too many others to mention. :hippie:
Oh my lord, Hound!!!! I remember now that you say that. My DAD watched Laugh In all the time!!!:rotfl2:

- Facinating sequencing of chapters, addendums, sub-chapters etc. (Did you contribute to the Dewey Decimal System?)
Sher has a system unto herself. ;)

That's where I got my Pop one!!!!!

- Regarding your two trains of thought on why disney dads like having disney moms around.....it was "answer A" ::yes::
Yeah. Thanks for clearing that one up. Or something. :teeth:

- Do those "skorts" have back pockets to acommodate vibrating cell phones?
Some did. Some didn't.

- Nice "shout out" to Violet Beauregarde...but perhaps Augustus Gloop would have been the more approriate comparison.
Hound!!! I did consider Augustus, I did!!! But I chose Violet because it seemed more apropos. For me. 'Cause Augustus was a little piggy ALL the time. And Violet's was a temporary condition. Get it??

But. I make this promise to you here and now...

I will work Augustus Gloop into my next chapter. Just for you!!!! :thumbsup2

[Shelby5514]

First?

Whooooo Hoooooootttttttyyyyyyyy I'm First!!!!!!!

Sher~ You are really, really getting me pumped for the next meet...I may have to take on a PT job to pay for it though...

[dizchick]

I just have to say that I'm loving your trip report! Yikes...

[AshClan]

Can I just say right now. I TOTALLY LOVE GRAMPY!!!! He rocks the Kasbah.

Me too!! Grampy is awesome!

I TOTALLY LOVE GRAMMY too!!!!! She has a smile that lights up a room. And THE greatest sense of humor.

Me too, too!!! True dat. All of it (and a bag of chips, as she'd say!)

ASH!!!!!! This is why we weren’t at the pool bar when you got there. And. Honest Injun. I tried to make it for 10. But. I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know you wouldn’t have wanted us to wait for you.

Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say. No, really, really, we were just happy to be seeing you. We didn't need to eat with you. It was fun getting to do the table-hop thing, and it eased us into the crazy weekend-to-come quite nicely. EXCEPT for when you distracted Jay and made him get our TS credits screwed up!!!

And, I'm glad we were late. Don't regret missing that, TFI....

[nicolemarie]

Sher - I can just picture you. Flapping those arms and smiling and working the host CM's at all the restaurants.

Mad skillz indeed, sweet girl.

Another great installment.

I am attending the meet vicariously through each of these reports. But I bet I'm not having as much fun as y'all did. :sad2:

NM :sunny:

[Grammyof2]

Thankfully. Just at that moment. I heard a big, booming voice.

“SHER!!!!!” It was Grampy. About 4(ish) feet. Just behind Mufasa.

When I heard that voice. And. I saw Grammy and Grampy. Everything else just faded away. I answered the call with my own, “GRAMPY!!!!” And took off running. And screaming.



And took a flying leap at Grampy. Who caught me up in THE BIGGEST BEAR HUG!!!!

Can I just say right now. I TOTALLY LOVE GRAMPY!!!! He rocks the Kasbah. I don’t even mind that I came face to face with his bare chest more often than my own. (Apparently he has a thing. About shirts. Maybe Grammy will fill ya in on that. If you really feel the need. To know.)

Truth be known, Grampy does have a booming voice and an adverse reaction to shirts, he may even be allergic :teeth: but he was happy to see Sheri and Horsey and loves them both, ALOT

Then a big ten-minute hug for Grammy. I TOTALLY LOVE GRAMMY too!!!!! She has a smile that lights up a room. And THE greatest sense of humor.

This is a paid endorsement from Grammy's personal allowance. I love you too Sheri :love:


It was nearing the time for Jami’s reservation. And since we were all DYING to see her. Grammy, Horsey and I decided to go in to Boma. For to surprise her. Yeah. SURPRISE. That’s what I’m calling it!!!!

And. THERE SHE WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We screamed and hugged and laughed and cried. After ALL these months of talking, planning and dreaming we were THERE!!!!! Together!!!! A dream come true. Really, really.

It was a surreal moment. A moment I couldn't wait for. The moment when Jami was right there before our eyes, waiting for us :grouphug: We hugged and screamed, and I cried. I was beyond happy to be hugging Jami :cloud9:

I should mention here that Grammy, Horsey and I had already met, back in July for a fun-filled weekend touring wineries with another buddy of ours. Who was not here on this trip. In person. But is ALWAYS here. In spirit. For me.

And for me!


And I decided to see if I could pull out all the mad skillz stops. And change that ADR for 5 into an ADR for 8.

SCORE!!!!!!!

Grammy ran back to the pool bar for Grampy and B.

ASH!!!!!! This is why we weren’t at the pool bar when you got there. And. Honest Injun. I tried to make it for 10. But. I know that you know that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know you wouldn’t have wanted us to wait for you.

I will defend Sheri to the end on this one. It was discussed, to try to add you to the ADR for 3 to 5 to 8, should we make it 10. Yep it was discussed, but you weren't there yet, Ash, so they said they wouldn't add you. Till you were there. And honestly, I didn't even know you were on the way. We were all excited. Till you were in Boma, and Horsey was describing your outfit :rotfl2: :rotfl2: Plus. We just aren’t very good marines.

Sheri - this was the best yet, or was it cause I wa in it :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

To the author of this very fun trip through our trip:

I am sooo tired tonight. Really, I was too tired to time travel on a trippie.

But I couldn't resist.

And I'm soooooooo glad I read it!!!!

It made me smile, laugh (Mufasa!!!), heart-race (the moment I finally got to HUG you all!!!), and remember the magic we felt when we FINALLY met. :cheer2: :cheer2: That was one of the very best surprise greeting hugs of MY LIFE!!!

It was a surreal moment. A moment I couldn't wait for. The moment when Jami was right there before our eyes, waiting for us We hugged and screamed, and I cried. I was beyond happy to be hugging Jami
Grammy... :love: :love: :love:


This is a moment I remember feeling so happy:

YOU have aLOT of friends, Sher. Even ones you havent seen in real life! TFI.

(I cant resist this next comment...forgive me!)

[firstmickey]

Great report and picture! :teeth: :rotfl:

[kpk89]

OMG!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: bwahahahahahahahahah!

There was a ton of quoteable quoteness here, but I'm about to head off to work and have no time. Just let me say this:

You really DO live according to your motto. It was such a joy to experience that in person. And it shows through every word of your report. Such fun to read it makes my spleen hurt.

And now ... on with the show!

[blue_river]

[QUOTE=sheridac]And Pluto came out to play. He surely loves his loverly adult liquid refreshment. Though. You need to keep an eye on your glass when he’s around!!!!!
pictorial evidence provided by Horsey

Blah, blah, blah, chat, chat, drink, drink, drink…..
Yer too funny Sher.

Love the pic of Pluto!

Oh I'm so glad I didn't see something like that...I have this awful habit of staring at things I shouldn't stare at. Like children do. Innocent enough but DH is always poking me for doing so. He tells me it's going to get me in big trouble someday. :rolleyes:

[Hound 109]

At first i thought "what a wonderful scene"....all these happy, witty, sweet ladies embracing each other, and all that is disney. Then I heard that they really had a table for 10 at Boma.... & that they gave AshClan's seats to buddies. ;)

Glad you got your "augustus gloop" on for Boma. :cool1:

hound :thumbsup2

[horsegirl]

Okay, one very important point was omitted. Part of my spacing about the Ash's arrival was due to these.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e54/horsegirl207/060915202.jpg

Can you all make out what this picture is? I initially called them push me pull yous, as I thought they were one bug with two heads, one at each end. Uh, more high school health class for me.....apparently these were pairs of buggies. The pool bar at AKL was full of these insects, apparently called lovebugs. :crazy: I felt like I was experiencing a passage out of the Bible when the planet was innundated by locusts. These amorous critters were paired end to end, I suppose involved in an elaborate courting ritual. There was a tiny one (the female?) and a larger one (the male). I was morbidly fascinated with them. People were carrying on as if they didn't exist! This picture was a juice machine. They were covered in it, and all over the bar and the glasses, the tables, our skin.... :crazy: Apparently their lovesick ways make them attracted to sweetness. Well lord knows there was alot of that at AKL that night! :teeth:

One of the funniest memories of those moments when we headed into Boma, was all the hysterical laughing occuring. Grammy missed her calling as a stand up comedian. As we were headed inside, we came upon a pile of obviously spilled salad on the walkway. A distinguished couple was passing us on in the opposite direction and Grammy said to them....."There's your salad." :lmao: :rotfl2: :rotfl:

It was a hoot.....that evening. A great way to start the trip!

I remember Grampyof2 had a Budlight, I had a Maitai and Sher and B and some kind of exotic pina colada type of thing....Yum! and Pluto, well he was guzzling everything in sight, and the other patrons were cracking up watching him. :rotfl2:

Great fun, sheridac. Keep it up! :thumbsup2

[bbangel]

Okay, I shouldn't read this at work anymore. It's too hard to explain to everyone why I am laughing so hard.

[Yzma and Kronk]

O - M - Augustus Gloop!

This part was too, too funny!

Now that I think of it, I could hear some strange laughter in the back room of Brown Derby. It must have been you guys. I could hear you clear across The World over at MGM!



One of the funniest things I've read on the DIS, like forever!!!!

Are you sure he wasn't trying to smuggle away one of the Lodge's little critters?

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Boma sounds like a great time. Next time for sure!!!

BTW - Horsey......that pictures IS GROSS!! :crazy2: Disney does go out of their way to make things authentic, eh? ;)

More, please!

:banana:

[eeyore45]

Are you sure "Mufasa" wasnt a 'figment' of all y'alls imagination??? :rotfl2:

Really good trippy - I agree with so many others, just lovin readin, but I want to "play" too - so next time, I'm going to speak up more!!

Thank you for sharing the fun!!

Sher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said I was going to come by and read your trip report after you gave up like 6 hours of your life to read mine. I'm on Chapter 12 and subbing to finish later as it is almost time to pick up kids and I have some work to finish up. Thank you for helping me successfully avoid vaccuuming on my day off. I love your trip report, TFI but am surprised to learn that you have 3 kids who are grown and gone. I had you figured for about 30...no kidding!

[Grammyof2]

As I relive this evening in my mind, OMG, it is scary.

But funnier than, was Horsey walking behind him imitating him :lmao: :lmao:

That picture I would kill for, hips thrust out like she was a love bug :teeth: I couldn't take a picture cause my camera kept saying "shake" I was laughing so hard I couldn't steady it :rotfl2:

Can we start some kind of public service announcement that lets men know that if you are not currently training for an Olympic medal IN SWIMMING OR DIVING, it is in your best interest and the best interest of all concerned that you should stay away from tiny speedos.
