CINDERELLA!!!! The Vandy girls are BACK!!!**UPDATE 8-8-09! THE END-FINALLY! Page 83**

OMG.....i'm so behind!!!!! i'm swamped with work. it's the end of the month, so it's a given with my job. i will be back on track come wednesday!

i need a break from work so i decided to finally respond to some of you guys! if i skip over you it's because i've already said THANK YOU here or because i think erica responded to you. please don't get offended! ;)

THANK YOU guys for reading and for all your sweet compliments!!! :goodvibes


Okay, that random box is too funny!!! Were you like "WTH???" when you opened it and saw what was inside??? :rotfl: I would have been laughing so hard, I wouldn't have been able to take a photo!

oh, it was crazy! i had no idea what was in that 3rd box (the other two were the coffee maker and the fridge). i thought maybe coffee, cups, wipes, all that kinda thing. but then when i saw the rum and vodka i just cracked up!

It looks like you had a good time at the AC. PI will be closed by the time we get there, which is too bad because DH and I were looking for something to do on our night out. We are still thinking we might go to Raglan Road or Fulton's for drinks or something though.

i hear raglan road is really fun with live music! and they have a great selection of beers if you're beer drinkers.

So many great photos and video of the AC! I just wish I had one last chance to go! :sad1: The last time I went was in 1995 so I don't think that counts at all!

glad i could help you live vicariously through the videos! i'm sure whatever the replace all that with will be wonderful. that's what i keep telling myself anyway!

Atleast they left antibacterial wipes! :lmao:

:rotfl:

What does the Fridge swap entail???

it's pretty easy! you just have to go to the budget boards and search for a fridge swap at your hotel that has your dates available, then just sign up. every swap has their own organizer who can explain the "rules" to you. if you're staying at a mod or deluxe you don't need it though because those places have fridges. it's just for value resorts. the first few people in the fridge swap have to pay something like $10 to cover the fridge, but then after that, it's free!

I completely see Ryan Styles there.

maybe it was his twin!

I already miss the AC! My DH tried to be awesome and send me for the weekend just to be there for the last weekend of it but financially it wasn't the best idea. Oh well. I loved it there and am def sad it';s almost gone! Great pics! And your cousin does look like the chick from Heroes!

how sweet of your DH! sorry you guys didn't get to go - sometimes the real world ruins everything! :laughing:

Awesome Dawn!!!

I don't get to go to Adult only places very often!

LOVED your take on AC!!!!

You are da bomb!

glad i could give you an adult night out, even in cyberspace! ;)

Thanks for sharing the AC pics and videos - we were planning on doing that one this time - I'm sorry I missed it. Congrats to your cousin, and yes, she is beautiful! Loved her shoes! :goodvibes How fun that you got to meet Kat! These DISmeets are so fun! We're heading out for Mexico tomorrow - I'll post a link to my TR when I get back! :yay:

sorry you're gonna miss the AC. maybe it'll be back when they reopen the area. who knows? hope you had/are having an AWESOME time in mexico!!!!!! i'm totally jealous.

Congratulations to Kelsie! She does look beautiful. Trent was dating our homecoming queen during his senior year, so we know firsthand the behind-the-scenes work and the 'on-stage' excitement that goes with that night. I know it was a night filled with fun and memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Adventurers' Club looks interesting. I know a lot of people have been really upset about it closing. It's nice that Disney has had so many different types of entertainment venues for so many different types of people, so maybe they will reopen this sometime again, since it seems to have been incredibly popular.

kelsie is such a sweetie and i'm so glad she got the honor. she deserves it. she's one of the nicest and most genuine teenagers i've ever known.

i do hope they reopen the AC. it's not something i HAVE to do while at disney but it was fun. and those performers were really funny and talented.

Nice seeing the pics of the Adventurer's Club since I've never been there before!

Love the pic of your cousin with her tennis shoes on! :lmao:

thanks! it stinks that it's closing....i'm hoping it will come back and surprise everyone or something.

"Hmmm? How much random stuff can we fit in a box?" :rotfl:

seriously!!! :rotfl2:

Hey Punkin,
I really glad you didn't drink that rum and vodka, I'm a bit of a germaphob and a hypochondriac and just the sight of that box :eek: freaked me out. Oh I wouldn't be able to use the coffee pot either, I would wonder stupid things like did the person before me spit or pee in it or something. LOL
I was in Disney in july, and got a bottle of water in the Pop food court, it was around 11:00pm I took a big chug and then I noticed I smelled something weird, so I smelled the bottle and no it did not smell it was the water, the water smelled like you know the gross mildew smell OMG the horror if my husband drank that water he could care less, me I figure I would die in my sleep , but I was in Disney so I guess if your going to go, that would be a good as any. Well I didn't die in my sleep. So then thought I would get legion aires or something like that, since July I waited and I'm fine.Thank Goodness ,But I swear to this day I always smell my bottled water and always will. I have always despised birds they truly scare me, my mother loves to feed the birds and the (big disgusting dirty seagulls, small birds are gross and dirty too) gather around her eewwww, I sit in the car with the window rolled up and turn my head. I also hate fish, I am very freaked out by fish, I remember was I was little I saw cannibal goldfish, so that's where it started, then when I was older I went on a cruise and everyone went snorkeling I couldn't go, you know slimey disgusting wiggly fish. ( which unfortunately keeps me from eating at the Corral Reef restaurant) well anyway back to the fish thing, so when everyone was snorkeling I walked into the ocean only up to my knees, when wouldn't you know a big slimey wiggly disgusting school of fish swam thru my legs. That was it for me, I don't go in the ocean or near fish. Funny note is that I live on a lake full of disgusting fish and gross birds looking for fish, I do not sit outside my house at all, alligators fine no problem but no fish or birds please. Great TR ;)

wow....you ARE a germophob! there were antibacterial wipes in the box to wipe down the coffeemaker before use, so it was clean. plus i just washed it with soap and water too. as far as the alcohol in the box, i was thinking about something poisoneous moreso than germs. glad you didn't die from the water! and i thought i was bad with birds, but your phobia of fish is crazy. i understand though because being scared of birds is a crazy phobia too!

Ohh, eewww I just noticed the cups, if I was dying of thirst in the desert I would not drink from one of those cups. But my husband would gladly use everything in that box. Oh yuck also the coffee filters, oy vay. I guess I'm just an odd duck huh?

yeah. i didn't even think twice about the coffee filters. although i didn't use them because i bought some of those pre-filtered coffee packs.

Punkin,
I'm sorry but I love reading your TR but I'm so scheved looking at that box I swear I could throw up (did the box smell gross) , I would be happy if you wouldn't post it anymore, I hope I dont have nightmares about. I also scheved rented cars

P. S. I know some nice thoughtful people left it behind , no offense

i only posted it once. i think somebody quoted it. just close your eyes and scroll down! :laughing:
 
Great update!!

Aww, Kelsie looks beautiful!!! Congratulations!!!

thanks!!!

Great update Dawn. I'm so glad that you posted those videos and pictures of the AC. I've never been there before and it is too bad that I won't have the chance to go. There seemed to be a lot of talent in that room. You have to wonder what happens to them when their place of business shuts down. You are right about that guy looking like Ryan Stiles. I loved that show btw.
Congratualtions to your cousin. She is a very pretty girl! Can I just wear the crown???:rotfl:

i know! i wonder what will happen to those performers now that PI is no more. it closed as of today. i will ask kelsie if you can wear her crown.....i'm sure she won't mind! ;)

Great update! We never went to the AC b/c I HATE being heckled (or the thought of it) so I avoid places like that like the plague. It looks like it wasn't as bad as I thought so perhaps I should have went. :sad2:

we didn't get heckled but it was very easy to. but it usually was a very minor heckling (minus the girl that got picked to be serenaded by hathaway brown!) and it passed quickly!

Great update! I never made it to the AC but always wanted to! At least I can live it thru you! ;)

Thanks for all the videos! So cool!

Can't wait for more!:woohoo:

glad i could help you "experience" the AC!

I like the the pictures of Pop at night, very nice, your cousin is prettier then Hayden Pana what's her name.

aww......that's so sweet! thanks!

Love the AC photos! I am so sad that I never went there. That was one thing I really wanted to do on my trip last week, but we never got around to it. We had planned to go on our second night but my DH decided wanted to go to DisneyQuest instead. :confused3 So then we said we'd go on our very last night, but of course, by then we were just too exhausted for a late night. It had been a very busy 10 days and we were just out of steam. But I could kick myself now! It sounds like you two had fun, though. I can't wait to watch the videos later!

it's so funny how time gets away from you while at disney. i always have a list of things i MUST do and usually only about half of that stuff happens!

I don't think I would have drank it either, yucky

Congrats to your cousin, she is a very pretty girl. Love the sneaks.

Thanks for the pics and video of the AC. I never went there but I after hearing about it here on the DIS I probably would have when we went down next year (my mom's coming with us so built in babysitter).

sorry you missed the AC. i hope they've redone the area by the time you go and they have something bigger and better!

Great update Dawn! Adventurers Club looks awesome - I'm sorry I never made it there. Love all the videos! And that guy does look exactly like Ryan Stiles (I love that show!).

thanks! glad you enjoyed the videos. i think that was ryan stiles' twin!

Great pics of the AC. I have always enjoyed that club. I will have to watch the videos later.

I for one will really miss that club. Anyone who has a petition to save the club. let me know, I would sign it.

thanks! i think there was a petition going around the disboards about saving it. i'm sure you could search for "petition adventurers club" and find it. it may not be around anymore though. i'm hoping they will surprise everyone and bring it back when they reopen the area!

great updates ladies!!! :) the AC looks like a lot of fun..i hope they do something really fun with dtd now that they are getting rid of all those night-spots!

we will all have to wait and see! i haven't heard anything about it other than something about an air balloon ride.
 
:thumbsup2 Anther great update. Your cousin is very pretty Dawn. I love her shoes.

thanks so much! :goodvibes

What a fun update :thumbsup2
Way to go cousin! She looked happy!

thanks!!! :)

Okay, all caught up! Love y'all's pictures on the RNRC and ToT!

Also, thanks for all the pics and video of the Adventurer's Club! I've never been there, and it was nice seeing what it was like. You're right, that guy does remind me of Ryan Stiles!:lmao:

you're welcome! glad we could give you a taste of what AC is like!

Great pics and video from the Adventurer's Club! :thumbsup2 I'm gonna miss that place......DH and I only made it there once, but we had a blast!

Dawn - Your cousin looks beautiful! Love the shoes with the dress! :goodvibes

i hope they surprise everyone and reopen it. we will have to wait and see! thanks about kelsie!

great update and pics.

I wish I got to AC before it closed but oh well.

thanks! you have a trip approaching soon!!!! :banana: maybe they'll open the AC back up one day. who knows?

Be thinking of Matt he is traveling your way today!! I saw on the news this morning that Atlanta is 'running out of gas.' So I'm sure it's going to only get worse for you guys right now :eek:

glad matt made it home okay and that he didn't run out of gas!

Dawn did you see that Tinker Bell is going to be in Toontown starting Oct. 26!!!!! I thought of you when I read it so I thought I would let you know.

i DID see that!!!! i'm so excited that i may get to meet her in december. i will have to do some research on the best times to head over there because you know her line will be crazy.
 
bump! great trip report so far!

thanks!!!

Loved the updates. :thumbsup2 Pop is really cool at night.

thanks! i agree....the lighting of the "icons" is so pretty!

ur right i think she does resemble Claire.

I never got a chance to go to AC. It really is a shame that they are closing PI. (But hey only more reason for them to open an "adult theme park" :lmao: yeah, like that would really happen...

i'm still hoping for a villian theme park. i'd sooooooooo go there!

All caught up, great pics of Downtown Disney, very neat the light was on in your old room. :wizard: That's Disney Magic!
I feel guilty our gas prices have gone down, and we haven't had a shortage. You still may have cheaper gas than us.
The AC looked like a blast, glad you had a great time.
What's this? Tinkerbell at toontown? I hope she is still there next year. My DD reminds me daily of the upcoming movie, we will be first in line to buy it. :tink:
I wouldn't have drank the liquor either. (thoughtfull of the others to leave it for you) I may use the fridge swap next year, it seems like it works fairly well.
Your cousin looks like a princess !!!!

it was like my old room was saying hello to me! :goodvibes yes, tink is coming to toontown! i'm going in december so i'm pretty sure she'll still be there then. i hope she's there for you next year too! thanks about my cousin!

OH and I am loving this trip report, Dawn and Erica you seem like the funnest girls, I followed the link from Dawn's last TR and loved that one as well.

thanks! you should go check out erica's december 2007 TR too. there are some amazing pics on there!

Hi Dawn and Erica, great trip report. I can't wait to hear more. You guys are too cute!!!

Dawn, I just finished your previous trip report :thumbsup2 It's a small world, your sister is moving about 30 minutes from us.

Have a great holiday trip. DH and I loved our trip to Disney in December 2006. The decorations were gorgeous and the parks were empty. If you have time, I recommend checking out the resorts. The Beach Club had a chocolate carousel, it was awesome. I'll be looking for your trip report :)

Kristina

thanks! wow.....it is a small world. she's actually been there for a month now. she likes it but she's really bored because she doesn't know anyone. she got a job at a DNA center and she starts on 10/6, so hopefully that will take up more of her time and she'll make some friends.

i can't wait to go in december!!!!! i'm so excited about seeing all the christmas stuff. and i'm definitely planning on checking out the christmas decorations! we're going to the beach club and the boardwalk on our epcot day, the to the grand floridian on our MK day and then to the wilderness lodge the day we go to MVMCP. i'm sure it'll be awesome!

Hi Dawn (and Erica :hug: )!! It is a happy day over here for my DS, and I'm sure for you too. ;)

AL is stomping GA!!! I know you LOVE it when anybody beats GA, well WE ARE!!! :yay:

sorry to go off topic, but Congrats to your Vandy team!!!!! :cheer2: How impressive? :cool2:

oh, i TOTALLY became a crimson tide fan last night!!!!!!! it was GREAT!!!! did you see when corso put on the elephant head when he was making his pick for college gameday? it was awesome.

I absolutely love this TR, it is getting me PUMPED for my upcoming trip!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it COming

thanks! i'm so glad we're getting you excited about your trip!!!

Too funny! All I could think of was why not wipe off the bottles with the cleaning wipes and chug-a-lug! (JUST KIDDING!) :lmao: :lmao:

Another Nashville-area girl here :) I paid $4.69/gallon on West End when the shortage started. Thank goodness that mess seems to be over for us!

Loving all the pics!

i thought about that but then i thought what if they put something weird IN the rum or vodka? just couldn't do it! nice to have another nashville girl here!!! :goodvibes

I just thought EVERYONE would want to know!!!

ESPN COLLEGE GAMEDAY is coming to Vandy for Saturday's game against Auburn!!
3.gif

CRAZY!!!!!! I NEVER imagined I would get to experience a College Gameday here so I guess I'll have to get my butt up and GO!!

I am SO excited for those boys and I hope they continue to do well!!

pirate: pirate: GO DORES!!!! pirate: pirate:

Another update is coming soon I promise
1.gif

i'm so super jealous. i wish i could come but i just can't right now with the gas the way it is.

It always makes me nervous for the cheerleading smiley on the top. I'm always afraid the supporting smileys will not catch her!

Very proud for the Vandy guys!
Be sure you find the camera on game day and get in the background so you can make faces and wave at us!
Instead of saying, "Hi, Mom!", you can say, "Hi, Dis pals!"

Or not.

Have fun!

or she could make a poster that says, "HI, BARTENDER AT THE POLYNESIAN RESORT AT DISNEY WORLD - WE LOVE YOU!!!!!" :rotfl2: only erica will get that. and later on you will!!!!! ;)

to add to the gas discussion, the shortage has officially hit us. it's funny. in the town south of us on wednesday i couldn't find any gas, but we had it in our town. then on friday night our town ran out. yesterday we went to the town north of us to see if they had some and they did, so i filled up. it seems to be moving north (obviously - outward from atlanta). when i filled up yesterday gas was $3.97.

oh, and i have to go to atlanta tomorrow for a deposition, so that will take half a tank away. nice! :rolleyes:

That's a GOOD one!!

We'll have to discuss that one in more details later! :rolleyes1

pirate: pirate: GO DORES!! pirate: pirate:
 
I posted this on your other TR, Dawn but noticed you are over here now: I've been MIA (again) and haven't had time to catch up but I wanted to say Congrats on Vandy's football season thus far! I'm picking Vandy to beat Auburn this weekend.
 


oh, i TOTALLY became a crimson tide fan last night!!!!!!! it was GREAT!!!! did you see when corso put on the elephant head when he was making his pick for college gameday? it was awesome.

Ok, I missed that, but I only went in to encourage AL when I heard DS getting upset because GA had scored. He is SO SERIOUS about his AL football. I don't get it because his dad and I aren't. :confused3

Oh, I talked with my sister this weekend, and she was talking about how bad it is over there. She lives in Norcross and works in Marietta. She said that the QT close by always has gas, BUT it is usually a 40 minute wait to get to the pump, and then they only have regular. It sounds crazy. :sad2: I told my mom that I am not coming for a visit any time soon because I don't want to run the risk of not finding gas for my SUV. :eek: It would be really hard to push if it ran out of gas. :rolleyes: Plus with gas as expensive as it is, It would cost me about $175 just in gas to come visit. Hope y'all get more gas soon. :goodvibes
 
Punkin,
I listen to Neil Bortz, and from what I get from him the gas shortage is a real problem for Georgia. I hope you do not have any problems getting to Atlanta and back:)
 
My BIL said he waited in line for over an hour for gas on Sat and he lives in Charlotte, NC. I hope it's not moving North..it hasn't hit anywhere near up here and gas has actually been dropping a little..down to $3.60!

Bad timing on the trip to Atlanta....ugh. :headache:
 
looks fun...subscribing

thanks for joining in!

thanks! and thanks for being a good sport. i love when people can congratulate others even if their team isn't doing as well as they had hoped. that was a hard game for georgia last saturday. you guys started to come back in the 3rd quarter but it just didn't happen. i'm hoping vandy can hold their own against auburn! we surprised everyone with south carolina so maybe we can do it again.

i got back home for atlanta okay! i had a full tank when i left and when i got back i had a little bit over half a tank. the gas station near my house had just gotten a delivery so i filled up my tank again. i should be good for a few days! gas here is still $3.97. i can't believe it hasn't gone over $4 yet!
 
Hey Vandy girls!!! Just checking in with ya'll!!! I hope you ladies have a great week!!
 
I had the chance finally to catch up on your TR after a crazy workweek. Oh my gosh, the pasta from Wolfang Puck's looks fabulous.
The random boxes left behind for you totally crack me up. I am the type of person who would definitely use the coffee filters (if I drank coffee) and cups...although the half-empty bottles of liquor are even a little much for me :laughing:
I love the Otis/Ryan Stiles comparison! I just visited AC for the first time on our last trip and am so bummed that I won't have the opportunity to go back. I hope that instead of closing it up, they move it somewhere - I think it would fit in well at Animal Kingdom! It was so crowded the night we went we couldn't even get into the library show - we had to try and peer in around the door!
Oh and we ended up getting kicked out of AC too at close, and the butler wasn't very nice about it either :laughing:
 
so day 2 has begun! we decided to drive on this day and park at the beach club, then go to epcot future world through the international gateway. the beach club is so pretty! i had never been there before.

Picture028.jpg


the walk from the beach club to epcot is so beautiful!

Picture030.jpg


Picture031.jpg


P1030264.jpg


Picture033.jpg


we arrived at epcot around 10:45. world showcase wasn't quite open yet, but we managed to stop and make a couple of quick phone calls while in england. ;)

Picture034.jpg


Picture035.jpg


of course, we headed straight for soarin to get fastpasses. i can't remember our exact turn time, but we had a good while. so we decided to ride livin with the land. i had never been on this ride before. it was pretty interesting.

FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND SOME RANDOM ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!

Picture053.jpg


i wish my mint would grow like this! instead it just goes crazy all over my yard.

P1030293.jpg


after our ride it was around 11:40 so we decided to go ahead and grab lunch at sunshine seasons. LOTS to choose from!

my food is closest to the camera and it's a grilled veggie cuban sandwich, pasta salad and a piece of apple flan pie. erica's is further away and it's turkey and muenster cheese on foccacia bread and a side of mozzarella and tomatoes. all our food was very good! there was a little too much mustard on my sandwich but i'm weird about that kinda thing.

Picture057.jpg


after lunch our soarin fastpasses still weren't ready, so we headed over to the seas pavilion. we spotted this kodak "picture spot" on the way and got confused. you mean you're supposed to stand with your BACK to this sign???? :lmao:

P1030298.jpg


oh, okay. NOW I GET IT!!!

P1030297.jpg

first we went on an undersea adventure with nemo and friends....

Picture060.jpg


i think this picture is a requirement.......MINE.....MINE.......MINE........

P1030302.jpg


there was no wait and while that's a good thing, it's kind of a bummer because the queue is so cool! here are erica and myself enjoying nemo....

P1030306.jpg


P1030307.jpg


Picture064.jpg


after that we went to check out turtle talk with crush. i had never done this before and it was really cute!

P1030318.jpg


then it was time to watch the dolphins. i'm glad we both love to watch them because we stayed there for a good 15 minutes watching them, possibly longer. they were soooooooo pretty! they were in a very playful mood and were just going nuts swimming around each other and playing. it was really cool to watch! i wish i would have brought my video camera but i left it in the room that day.

P1030321.jpg


P1030328.jpg


P1030329.jpg


Picture066.jpg


the boys enjoyed watching the dolphins, too!

Picture072.jpg


i wonder what people thought when they walked by and saw us doing this??? :rotfl:

Picture074.jpg


we also checked out the manatees, but they weren't feeling very photogenic that day. after that, we headed back to the land to use our soarin fastpasses. we passed kat and her hubby as we were going into the land building. they had just ridden soarin too!

we asked to be in the front row and it's totally worth asking! WAY cooler than seeing feet in front of you. by the way, memom, neither of us could get a signal while on the ride, so we couldn't call you. i promise we tried though! :sad2:

continued in next post: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=27884280&postcount=396
 
after that we headed back towards the middle of the park and noticed the little character connection area, so we decided to check it out. when we realized there were LOTS of characters in here, we decided to hop in line. what a great spot to meet characters!!! :thumbsup2

Picture077.jpg


Picture079.jpg


Picture080.jpg


pluto was soooooo cute! he came up to us on all fours like a real doggie and was wagging his tail and pawing at us!

Picture083.jpg


Picture084.jpg


Picture085.jpg


Picture086.jpg


erica and goofy both had long ears to play with!

Picture087.jpg


of course we had to stop by club cool to sample some beverages. it was good timing too because i was thirsty!

P1030332.jpg


the inevitable beverly pictures had to be taken......

P1030333.jpg


P1030334.jpg


Picture089.jpg


why, oh why do we torture ourselves???? actually, i think this was erica's first time trying the beverly. but i knew better and i still did it. :rolleyes:

here was the consensus.

the winner: japan!

P1030337.jpg


the definite loser: italy

P1030338.jpg

after that we decided to head to spaceship earth. look how empty the park was!

P1030341.jpg


P1030345.jpg


Picture090.jpg


we passed kat and her hubby again! i think they were stalking us! :rotfl:

SE was down at the moment, so we just headed to the front of the park to get some photopass pics. now......this is where it gets funny. the photopass guy we got was CRAZY! i can't wait to get the CD to show you all the pics he took. it was like we had our own little portrait session with him!

the funniest thing that happened is he was trying to tell us to lock our hands together and lean away from each other for a really cool picture he ended up taking (which you'll see later in our photopass pics). but then he realized the monorail was going by and instead of finishing his directions about locking our hands together, he stepped to the side to take the picture of the monorail going by. only we didn't realize the monorail was going by because it's really quiet. so we're standing there, holding hands, while he's taking our picture and i was saying through a forced smile, "um......what are we doing????" and erica was saying back to me through another forced smile......"i don't know but i think maybe the monorail is going by" (or something like that). the pictures are hilarious! erica finally says to the guy, "we don't normally hold hands!" it was just a really odd, funny situation! but his pictures turned out great so i'm glad we found him.

when we went back by SE it was back up and running, so we walked on. i haven't ridden this since i was 15, so it was really cool! i remember bits and pieces but it's all pretty much new to me, refurb or not!

when they took our picture, i made sort of a extra happy smiley face......

Very fun update. You make me want to go back to Epcot so bad! I love the weird kodak picture spots. I think I enjoyed taking pictures of the signs more than trying to recreate the view they suggest.
 
Great pictures of the Boardwalk area--we went therefor the first time in August and agreed how prety that area was!!
Its so fun to read your reports-your words and photos show how much fun you have:goodvibes
