[scottny]

Scott, are you getting some sort of kick back from disney for pimping these cookies?

yes, 5 lbs.

 

[winkers]

yes, 5 lbs.

I just scared my dogs from laughing so hard!

 

[jordanyosh]

I apologize for missing your birthday.

Your "goals" look good. I like how you don't schedule things and aren't set on doing things and won't be upset if you don't get to do them.....(nice run on sentence)

Flat Jordan in progress.....it's gonna be good.....just need to laminate...

Here are our park goals for Magic Kingdom in no particular order. There are things we didn't get to do last time, mixed with things we did and loved and just have to do again. We will try to ride and see whatever we can, but these are sort of highlighted on our "goals" list for this trip.

Carousel of Progress- It's a classic. We haven't done it the last 2 trips. It's time.
Haven't seen it.
Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor- Missed it last time.
I love this ride.
Jungle Boat Ride - Missed it last time.
It depends on who you get as a driver.
Snow Whites Scary Adventures- Missed it last 2 times...not sure if DS will ride.
I don't like this ride.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad- I tried to ride this several times last trip but it was always after dark and it was always closed.
We like all the roller costers in Disney.
Splash Mountain- Was closed for refurbishement last time.
Woody's Round up- Keep missing it!!
Haven't seen it.
Country Bear Jamboree- Maybe....depends on if we want to when we pass it. It's on the list because we haven't done it.
Haven't seen it.

Dole soft serve- I got the float the last 2 times, this time I feel the need to try just the soft serve.
Turkey Leg- For the past 2 years DH has been trying to get ahold of one of these and it never works out. We have to make sure to get him one this time.....besides, I'm sort of curious about them too.
Wishes- We kept missing it last trip. Although, we did make up for it with the P&PP fireworks show. It was AWESOME!! Wishes is a tradition with us. I will not stress over where we are to watch it from this time!
I LOVE Wishes!
Card flipper machine- I was told that it is on the upper level of the train station. I did not get to look for it last time. I'd like to find it this time. When I went to WDW as a kid my sister and I found one of these in the back of a gift shop. It said $.01 for a movie. Even in 1984 we thought this was impossible. We ran and asked our parents for a penny and ran back "secretly" as to not alert the rest of the patrons to what we had found. We got in the booth, put the penny in, and watched a small black and white movie. We thought this was the best kept secret in all of Disney World. It was like we had found some sort of magical surprise or something. I'd like to find it and at least get a picture of it if it does't work. This is one of my best childhood memories with my sister. Sadly, she says she doesn't remember it. She is 4 years younger than I am so she was around 4 or 5 years old at the time. I'd like to get a picture or video of it and try to jog her memory.

Putting in my 2 cents.

I really like the idea of having some flexible goals. You can't see everything and it keeps things in perspective.

George Carlin is great! He's definitely adult, Vegas entertainment.

I love doing the flexible goals thing. Problem is that it's hard to stick to. When I walk in the gate I immediately want to start hashing out a plan. If I can keep myself from doing that and just go with the flow it makes for a much more relaxed trip. And honestly, I really get less done when I run around like a crazy person anyway.

Never heard of Card Flipper Machine. I am going to have to take a peak myself now

It's so neat. I hope it's still there. I will look at the train station since someone from the DIS told me it was still there a few months ago. If not, then I will ask CM's until someone knows.

Scott, are you getting some sort of kick back from disney for pimping these cookies?

yes, 5 lbs.

I gained 6 and DH gained 12 last time!! Still trying to lose them to make room to gain them back in May.

I just scared my dogs from laughing so hard!

You make him wake up Biff on a regular basis, so you guys are even.

I apologize for missing your birthday.

Your "goals" look good. I like how you don't schedule things and aren't set on doing things and won't be upset if you don't get to do them.....(nice run on sentence)

Flat Jordan in progress.....it's gonna be good.....just need to laminate...

No apologies necessary! I know you've been super busy lately.
Glad you're here. Thanks for the B-day wishes.
See above response to NativeNY about the "goals". It's good when I stick to them.

Where is Flat Jordan going? Are you sending him to Winkers and family? I can't wait to meet up with him.

Putting in my 2 cents.

Glad you did! Thanks. I love reading what everyone else thinks too.

 

[englishrose47]

Yes Jordan who is Flat Jordans travelling buddy?? Have been absent due to laptop problems!!

When I enter the park, I have to try to control myself. If I don't, I'm ready to knock people out of the way so I can get to Space Mountain

 

[jordanyosh]

Blue, I have a Flat Jordan for you too...if you want it.

 

[englishrose47]

Oh No! 2 Flat Jordan's . Now remember what you and Blue did to Flat Winkers, Who else is taking Flat Jordan??

This is going to get INTERESTING!!

 

[jordanyosh]

I need to laminate them and put sticks on them...

 

[Blueyed Girl]

This is so funny and is going to be so much fun! I just told DH we have to think up some creative things for Flat Jordan to do.

 

[winkers]

True, but one of my dog bites when startled and the other one pees............I don't think Biff has that problem!

Not that we know of, anyway.

 

[Native NYer]

How are you? How are your plans coming along? I'm so excited for you. You get to leave real soon!

 

[Tat2ddisneymom]

I'm so confused with the Flat Jordan and Flat Winkers talk. I know I'm missing a joke somewhere...

 

[Blueyed Girl]

Doing good just busy! I'm excited too. Check my ticker.....down to "days"!
Update coming soon.......

I'm so confused with the Flat Jordan and Flat Winkers talk. I know I'm missing a joke somewhere...

Winkers sent a laminated picture of herself on a stick to Jordan so that he could take her around the park because during her "real" trip she was sick and didn't get to have as much fun as she normally would. I was at WDW the same time as Jordan and got to take pic's with both him and flat winkers. Now, Winkers and I are taking our "make up" trips at the same time and Jordan is going to send each of us a flat Jordan to show a good time to. Should be interesting.

 

[Native NYer]

Yay for days!!!

Flat Stanley is visiting our class. I should take a pic tomorrow

Ok, I get it. Thanks for explaining.

We had a really good time at Epcot last trip. This time we will be there during the Flower & Garden Festival. We should get some good pictures. There were some things we missed and some things that are on our "must do again" list. Everything else we will try to do but will have a more relaxed aproach to.

Spaceship Earth- Was closed for refurbishment and reopened the day AFTER we left!
Visa Meet & Greet- we have missed this every single time!
Nestle Jr Chef- Planned on trying this last time but just didn't have the energy to cross the entire park to be able to get there on time.
Ellen's Energy Adventure- DS loves dinosaurs. I figure this is a much more mild way to let him see some. 'Cause there is no way I'm taking him on Dinosaur!
Tour England- I was feeling bad by the time we got to England so we had to skip it completely. I've been bummed ever since.
Ladybug release- DS loves ladybugs! We would love to check this out.
Henna- I'd like to get one. Since it's spring and shorts/capri's are in season, I'd like to get a bracelet around my ankle.

Things we've done but "must do" again:
Soarin'-One of the few "bigger" type rides we got to ride as a family. I really enjoyed this ride. DS got a little scared but I think he will do it again next time.
Test Track- Just plain old fun! Must do again.
Grey Goose Slush Martini- YUM!
Octopus Juice at Coral Reef- YUM YUM!
