I'm here Ellen and LOVED the Parade pix !!The ballroom dancers are my favorite !! What abusy but great day you had !!!
Can't wait to read more and find out....Does Tim REALLY walk on water? Does Pods ever do the cha cha slide? Will Tyler ever wear that awesome moustache to the 8th grade dance? And how many monkeys does Ellen kiss?
Wahoo! Another Halloween TR! Can't wait to read more! Subbing in.
I forgot to say that your fireworks pics were absolutely AMAZING!!! I can't wait until we take our kids to that in October! Thank you for all the awesome MNSSHP pics!
Hi Ellen! I saw your link on Rosie's TR and quickly had to jump over to subscribe!! I somehow managed to unsubscribe frm your AKL TR???? I guess I need to go back and read all the update I missed. But this time I will make sure to stay around!!
Your pictures are amazing! And what a wonderful seat for the parade!! Love the TR. Can't wait for more.
Yes!!! We are still locked and loaded for our cruise and when I told Ally about Timmy's not so magical "entrance" she said, in her sweet little chipmunk voice, "That sucks."
Aw man, the second time you guys were in TL/SM we were probably in the vicinity since we finished up over there and probably spent the whole last hour in TL. So close but yet so far....eh? We started walking out at about 10 'til midnight and probably reached the main exit right at midnight, the exit candy barrels were still in full swing. We hit all 4 of 'em, but only one had the real kick-booty Werthers chewies that I am still craving to this day. Wish we had bothered to grab more of those.
I am impressed at how much you guys got done in such a short amount of time. It was a wonderful party, and I'm so glad we decided to do it, it really set the tone for the whole "Halloween" part of the cruise, until when Halloween was over, it was OVER. LOL!!!
Wonderful shot of the headless horseman.
You could have explained away the mustache by saying that you were post menopausel!
Hi Ellen! Looks like a great MNSSHP! Love the facial hair! That parade is creepy - they do a good job. Malificent has always been scarey to me, too! I love the jelly bean comment - where is that Tag Fairy??? I thought you were cruising at the same time as we were - ours sailed 10/10/10 - Also a Western. I'm looking forward to your TR! I'm most interested in whether you will kiss any monkeys
Hmmm...just this once I think!
Hey Tammie!!! Thanks!!!! Good to see ya!!!!
What a great TR!
I've loved reading your TR to WDW & your family adventures on the Magic.
Sorry we missed this cruise .... sounds like y'all had a great time .... we head out on the Wonder in Jan for a 7 day Mexican Rivera
Judy
Your photopass pics came out great! Enjoying your TR!
Ellen,
I'm enjoying your TR!
It was fun meeting your family! Brendan really enjoyed hanging out with Timmy and Tyler. And I know Savannah was happy to have a dance partner for pirate night.
Ron
Forgot to tell ya, Love those Shirts you all are wearing! They are awesome. I just wish my girls would wear something like that but that is not what they do.
We still have candy from trick or treating down there this year. It is not going down very fast here. I remember the first time we were there Halloween must have been sponsored by Hershey's because we had lots of chocolate and really good stuff. Now there is not so much chocolate and more nerd type stuff. But it is still the best time to go, IMHO.
And the parade is the best! With the grave diggers and their shovels and the ghost dancers, how can it get any better? Well, the cowboy dancers have cute little, ummmmm, behinds! My favorite parade of them all.
So, I'm curious, did Tim get enough sleep that night?
I love all those dancers, too- it was a busy day...but Friday was by FAR much busier...especially the end of the day-I'm here Ellen and LOVED the Parade pix !!The ballroom dancers are my favorite !! What abusy but great day you had !!!
again.. late to the party.. i hate to keep the sterotype alive but.. as always 3pages and i just see your trippy now.
off to catch up lol
NOWWWW I get the mustaches lol... that IS an AWESOME costume, i give it a 10!
I loved the Cape Buffet... but i love seafood.. my family not so much LOL... they ate like Timmy, I could have taken them to McD's.
We will have a great time at Dland cuz I LOVE to just watch the parades and fireworks too.
I LOVE the monkey loven (not calling you a monkey Jen)
Btw Jen I didnt know you are booked on the Alluer.. YEA i cant wait to read that trippy and see videos.. we are looking to book that one in 2013 for E's 20th yr in the Marines.
Now back to you El, cant wait to read more and see whats coming up! I live vivaciously through you!
We stopped ToTing back in Frontierland @ 12, so by the time we were to the front there was not a barrel to be had. I'll have to keep that in mind should we ever do this again-
And I'm sure we were inches away from each other in TL- I was looking all over for you- especially by the dance party, because I thought you might be over there. So weird!!
I am so excited about your assesment of RCCL, since we'll be doing that this summer. And it's an eastern- we all really need a change of itinerary.
That's too funny!!! My pic of us that night is not nearly as entertaining. And I think you may have been my one and only monkey kiss this trip- well, aren't YOU special!!
Hi Ron!! We LOVED meeting all of you- you are such a great family! Lots of smiles on those faces of yours! And the boys really likes Brendan, too. And oh....the pirate dancing....can't wait til ya post THAT video...
FINALLY here and all caught up with EVERYTHING...
1-love, Love, LOVE the moustaches....Now you know how I feel, being a woman of a certain age sportin' a stash!!! LOL
That really means alot coming from you- you are the Halloween QUEEN in my book!! (For those of you who don't know- Joanie here throws a TDF AMAZING Halloween party every year- her costumes are second to NONE! Her house is decorated to the hilt, and....I've hardly been because it seems we're always in some conflict (this year we were at a family wedding). So WOW, Joanie- I feel pretty good about Tyler's choice! Can't wait to tell him he did GREAT!!!
2-Really enjoyed your pictures of the parade. So THAT'S what the parade looks like when photographed with a good camera....mine are all blurry and just awful. Hope you don't mind if I steal a few for my photo book! I can post plenty of blurry, ill- lit photos from my last Halloween parade, too...just ask!!
3-Love how focused the boys are during MNSSHP....they are on a mission...to ride and get candy and that's what they did. Their focus paid off, where we wandered around like three lost souls!I guess it's good to know where you want to go....we STILL have candy...want some???
4-Finally, so THAT'S what the fireworks look like! AMAZING! I guess sitting behind a tree talking to people from NJ doesn't give you the best view. Though it DID get my daughter a babysitting gig and we met some great new people Hey!! That's where I usually sit! That really should be Tyler's babysitting gig!!
Can't wait to read more and find out....Does Tim REALLY walk on water? Does Pods ever do the cha cha slide? Will Tyler ever wear that awesome moustache to the 8th grade dance? And how many monkeys does Ellen kiss?
Hey Joan!!!! Miss you girlie!!!!!
She said Tim DOES walk on water - or maybe he was moonwalking, not sure....
And Pods was just gassy..... reminds me of a certain DISmoms trip..... but I ain't talkin!
I'm betting on 317 monkeys!!!!
I really enjoyed reading about the MNSSHP! It sounds like it wasn't too crowded? I really would like to go to one next year and am afraid that the late October ones would be really crowded...
I loved your costume! I think I would never had had the courage to walk around like that. But I think the CMs remembering you is a pretty great compliment.
I am really excited about meeting you and your family next year as well!
It was like telepathic! We were by the dance party for like 45 mins!!!
BTW did I ever tell you I have a RCCL TR on the CC boards? I never advertised it over here like Ron said I should have but the link is down there in my siggie. I do talk a lot about the differences between lines, so even though it is not the same ship as you will be sailing on, it should be a little helpful (and hopefully an interesting read. It was an Eastern, too.
Awwww...I am honored! BTW you were kissed BY the monkey too as I have the same shot of me kissing you as well. I think I prefer your pic to mine, as I have some funn-eh looks on my face. Blame it on the sailaway drinks and choclate martinis!!!
You know it will be so easy to convince him to meet up w/you guys at WDW now! LOL!!!
Let me tell you, you will love that vid- you are awesome!!!! You are kicking it better than Savannah the competitive dancer. (and being the viciously competitive dance mom that I am, it is rare that I say anyone dances better than MY child! Bwahaha!) But you had it going on! I'm so, so sorry I had to miss it!!!
Holy Cow....while I have been barely present on the boards you have been an updating monster! I am so impressed. I am not even going to start reading this TR until I get home later tonight. But YOU GO GIRL! Can't wait!
As I was reading about your cell charger dilemna I kept saying to myself (outloud of course, cause that's what I do) "ask for the chargers that housekeeping gets that are never claimed!" And there ya have it!
Also, fwiw, YC is still my favorite of all the resorts I've stayed at. Ambiance, location, and location. Oh, and location........
And I did NOT spoil your Timmy story! I just left folks drooling to know what we are talking about.... there ya have it, a bunch of keyboards need cleaning up now......
that is why I LOVE disney. they take awesome care of their guests.
Love your trip report!! The pics are awesome! Great talking to you yesterday!
Terri
Enjoying another great Podsnel TR. I love the MNSSHP parade but is it just me or don't you think what's up with those cowboys? I'm thinking Brokeback Mountain.
The YC is my absolute favorite resort. I love all those Epcot resorts. It's the best place in WDW to be.
Congrats to the boys on their GAD. I couldn't help but notice your last name. I was going to ask if you were related to Dr. Seuss but I looked it up and he only has one s in his name.
My Timmy is awful when it comes to getting up in the morning. Before he could drive himself to school I drove him many days because he missed the bus.
Looking forward to hearing about the cruise.
How awesome you got a Charger !!! We left one the first time we went !!But Pop called and mailed it back to us !!!Judy was very impressed !!!
I am here too, Ellen!
How I wish, everyone would start their trip reports on a weekend, so I can get in from the very beginning!
Okay, now that I found you, I am going back to read! Will pop in again later!
