Modern Family is my favourite T.V. Programme-what a scoop!!!

 

[danimaroo]

That's SO cool !! Although I'd be MORE excited if they were in WDW ... But it will still be fun to watch ! I love that show too. Hey, did you ever see the Roseanne episodes when they all went to WDW ?? I loved that one as well as the Full House one.

I know, I was hoping for it to be Disney World but hey, I will take Disneyland, too!

I have never seen the Roseanne Disney episodes but it sounds like I need to now!

Dude! Seriously, when I found out they were at the Land, I was giddy with excitement! I LOVED when the 80's shows would visit Disney! Full House, Roseanne, etc! I can't wait to see one of my favorite shows filmed at Disney!

I KNOW, me too! I am enjoying looking at all of the casts' photos they keep tweeting! They look like they're having a blast! I am so excited to see what they do with it because that show CRACKS me up every week.

Have a great weekend away! Share some pics of the beautiful mountains if you can!

Thank you so much! I had a more intense morning than normal today, so it'll be nice to go on vacation and just let my brain relax for a few days. I will definitely take photos and show off where we go! Definitely calls for a non-Disney mini update anyway.

Yes!!!! I am SO excited about that! Hahah I used to follow Nolan Gould on twitter and then I unfollowed a BUNCH of people and I guess he was one of them. It always amazed me how intelligent he sounded in his tweets compared to Luke haha. Anyways I have said about 50 million times that the ABC shows should start going back to Disney like they used to in the 90's and that Modern Family should definitely do it! I'm so glad they 'listened to me' hahah. Hope you have a great weekend!

OHHH sad you deleted him! I did the same thing at one point since I follow way too many people, but I've kept him around because whenever I have tweeted something at him, which isn't often, he replies! And like you said, he's so well-spoken and smart for a kid that age! I heard he is actually part of MENSA, so he must be a smart kiddo.

Anyway, I am glad ABC listened to you because I am PUMPED to see this episode in the future!!

I am a total lurker but I just read this from start to finish and I am totally enjoying reading about your journey! I cant wait for the rest!

Thank you for sharing.

Lisa

PS Modern Family is the beat show on TV now that LOST is gone!

Well thank you for popping in and commenting, I seriously LOVE when lurkers come out and say hi! I was a lurker for a long time but started commenting and have found so many interesting people to talk to/share my love for Disney with around here... I've even made a few friends along the way.

And yes, Modern Family is definitely one of my TOP shows!

Modern Family is my favourite T.V. Programme-what a scoop!!!

It is such a good show and it cracks me up. I am beyond excited that they are doing a Disney episode. Can't wait!!

GUYS! It came in the mail! PHOTOPASS CDDDDDD! I am so thrilled and so thankful that Rachel asked me to be a part of the PP share. Number one, it saved us a butt ton of money on PP photos (we love having some photos to hang from our trips of the two of us!), and number two, it gave me a new friend in Rachel, as we've just gotten along from the start! So yay for PhotoPass shares! And thank you again Rachel for letting me be a part of it!!!

Anywho, we can now continue on with the TR! I may do a post full of PP photos up to this point, maybe inbetween Day 7 and Day 8! And now, ON WITH THE SHOW!

Chapter Twenty-Nine: "Classically.. Trained... THAT'S FUNNY! I LOVE YOUR SHIRT!"
Day 7: January 24th, 2012​

After we bought Pooh, we decided to head over to Tomorrowland because we needed a little Space Mountain in our lives! As we were strolling along, we suddenly ran into this..

It dawned on me as he moved along.. IT WAS PUSH!!! I was so excited, so I poked Matt and said, "LOOK! IT'S PUSH!"

We both stopped to just watch him move around, when suddenly he turns to us and starts singing a song, "Happy anniversary, happy happy anniversary, happy anniversary, happy HAAAAAPPY anniversary!"

I start cracking up because I'm like, "Wow, that is kind of amazing that they programmed this little guy to sing a song for us!"

Then PUSH asks us, "Where are you from?" and we respond "Seattle!"
He said, "SEATTLE?! WOW! Nice weather here today, huh?" And we told him yes.
At this point I'm just laughing because this is the most ridiculous interaction I've ever had in my life... Talking to a trash can in front of a crowd of people.

Then he turns to Matt and goes, "Classically... Trained... That's funny! I LOVE your shirt!" Matt had on a t-shirt with an old school Nintendo and it said "Classically Trained". We both got such a kick out of it!

PUSH said goodbye to us and we walked away dying laughing. I had NO idea that someone voiced PUSH, I just thought it was all automated! This was seriously one of my favorite moments of our trip because it was just so hilarious and random.

As we walked away, a PP photographer ran up to us with a card and said he'd captured the whole thing in photos! I was so happy they caught this so I could share it with you guys! It was wonderful!

Anyhoot, after a fun chat with PUSH, we hopped on Space Mountain. I was sitting in front of Matt, and had my hat on. While being whipped around I had one hand on my head so I'd made sure my hat didn't fly off. Problem is, it's dark in there and Matt couldn't see me holding onto it, so he put his hand on my head. Instead of keeping it on, he tore it off my head! Hahaha. Thankfully I grabbed it before it flew away. And yes, you can see me holding onto it here..

We always love making awkward faces after we ride Space Mountain..

So after an exciting trip on Space Mountain, we decided we wanted to head over to Buzz Lightyear. That was when I suddenly gasped because I saw STITCH hanging out all by himself! I pointed it out to Matt and we ran over! I gave Stitch a big hug and got a lick on the face in return.

He then pointed to my anniversary pin, wondering how many years we were celebrating..

This next photo cracks me up because I have NO idea what I told Stitch to warrant this reaction from him... But it cracks me up!

But then he turned to Matt and gave him a big hug! Stitch is Matt's favorite and it was SO cute to see him so happy to meet Stitch. I LOVE THIS PHOTO SO MUCH.

As they were hugging, I told Stitch he was Matt's favorite. That made Stitch AWFULLY excited.

We took one final photo with him, which made us all very happy!

We said goodbye to Stitch and could not stop smiling. I love how regardless of your age, you turn into a 5 year old all over again when you meet your favorites!

We headed over to Buzz Lightyear... and I managed to score my highest score ever! It definitely happened in the first room.. And I destroyed Matt this time, mwahaha.

Sooo after that, we headed over to Splash Mountain for our first ride of the day and used our FPs from earlier. Funny enough, remember our first "incident" of being stuck in the front? Welp we were put in the front row again... BUT THIS TIME IT WAS NOT MY FAULT! We just got put there by the CM. We got extremely soaked this trip down! But I didn't mind because it was really hot out.

Continued in next post​

Chapter Thirty: "Mr. Bird, you do not want to eat that. That would be a form of cannibalism!"
Day 7: January 24th, 2012​

We grabbed another set of FPs for Splash, then made our way on over to Haunted Mansion. We opted to go through the cemetery queue. Totally spent time solving who killed who and with what on the first set of statues... Then of course we couldn't help but produce some CREEPY music!

Oh and can I just state how cool the organ is?!

I ran over the ring again and got a photo of it during the day!

I think I turned around and pointed it out to the people near us, and they thought it was SO neat. They had no idea about the story or anything so when I told them they were just totally into it.

Of course we had to spend some time pushing the phantom books back into place, too.

After enjoying some time with the ghost host and friends, Matt was getting hungry, and he knew exactly what he wanted..

TURKEY LEG TIME! He had mentioned like 5 times during our honeymoon how he wanted one, but never got the opportunity to get one. So we made sure he got one this trip!

He let me try a bite, too!

It was good but holy cow, that's one big thing of turkey! Matt ate most of it, and while he ate this guys were TOTALLY creeping on him..

Uh guys, isn't that a form of cannibalism?! We told them they did NOT want to eat it.

After Matt ate what he could of his turkey leg, we went back to Splash Mountain and used our second set of FPs for the day.

Matt said he got really wet, but looking at this photo he doesn't even look wet, hahaha.

We grabbed ANOTHER set of FPs for Splash, and were dealing with this mob..

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed how CLOGGED This area gets with people just standing around? It drives me nuts! Like if you're waiting for someone, please for the love of all that is Holy, DO NOT STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PATH/STAIRWAY! No matter how slow it was, there always seemed to be mobs of people here! Haha.

It was then we decided we needed a break, so we headed towards the front of the park..

Now it was my turn to be hungry, so we stopped by Casey's because I REALLY wanted some corn dog nuggets! Matt wanted a few fries, so we got some to share.

Mmmm, I love those corn dog nuggets! And they're reasonably priced (we were paying OOP since we used a TS credit for breakfast and were planning on using our CS credit for dinner later)..

We then swung by the Main Street Bakery and both got brownies for later. They were looking very tasty! We put them in little to-go boxes and took them with us.

The crowds on MS weren't too awful this day, which was nice!

Next post, we're off to a place we meant to go on Day One, and run into some hobo duck friends along the way!

YAY! another update! I love that you guys have your pp pictures so now we can see photos with BOTH of you....Those photos with Push and Stitch were great! have a good weekend!

 

[okw19]

GUYS! It came in the mail! PHOTOPASS CDDDDDD! I am so thrilled and so thankful that Rachel asked me to be a part of the PP share. Number one, it saved us a butt ton of money on PP photos (we love having some photos to hang from our trips of the two of us!), and number two, it gave me a new friend in Rachel, as we've just gotten along from the start! So yay for PhotoPass shares! And thank you again Rachel for letting me be a part of it!!!

I'm glad it arrived quickly. You are so welcome, I'm glad we are DIS BFFs because of it!

Time for PUSH!! I had a hard time not spilling the beans because I was so excited to hear the whole story! I'm glad a PP photographer caught this all because it's adorable! Push has good taste because obviously Matt's shirt is awesome. I love that you were surprised to find out he was a live performer and not programmed. Disney Magic, right there.

Space Mountain is awesome, glad you remembered to keep your hair under control this time. That's so cute that Matt tried to protect your hat too, even though it backfired. I LOVE making awkward faces after SM especially once you are several screens in and people after you get to see what you're doing. One night this young guy pulled his shirt up and danced for everyone to see and it had the whole moving sidewalk cracking up.

Stitch! I love his reaction to whatever you told him! Too cute. That hug picture is priceless too!

I love how regardless of your age, you turn into a 5 year old all over again when you meet your favorites!

YES! I might have been more excited to meet a few characters than Riley was.

Yay for beating Matt and hitting such a high score! Boo for getting soaked on Splash. Well I'm sure you guys didn't mind with the heat, but still it's never all too fun to be drenched.

Random and creepish, but Matt's wedding band looks like the one I have for Andy. Carbon fiber in the middle?

Haunted Mansion AND a turkey leg?! Sounds like a good idea right about now. Those turkey legs are massive and awkward to eat, but I actually like them. Glad you guys got to try one!

Uh guys, isn't that a form of cannibalism?! We told them they did NOT want to eat it.

Yes, this has me dying!

That area outside of Splash does get SO SO SO clogged! It was ridiculous.
Mmm Casey's. You forgot the plastic cheese for your fries though.

I know what you're off to do! Spoiler alert -->Monorail tour!!!This is Tuesday and we had Chef Mickey's reservations so we were saying we might bump into each other

 

[dara00]

fun! we met Push in disneyland. it is cool to look for the person who controls him. my dd put a balloon into push - the garbage - it was really cute. I wish we had photos!

 

[407-W-DISNEY]

I have to say that I soooo Love the pics of you and Matt near PUSH....

I love them because neither of you knew the PP was taking your pictures and you both have biggest smiles and SUCH a look of joy on your face - you can see the feelings are coming from your heart!

That's what Disney is all about!!!

 

[mjmagnuson]

Random and creepish, but Matt's wedding band looks like the one I have for Andy. Carbon fiber in the middle?

Haha, yup! It's a tungsten ring with a carbon fiber inset. I love it! Good taste

 

[marDgreen88]

Yay for the photopass cd! Yes... yes, I have heard of the legend of Push. I want to see him! Not even sure how I've missed him. It's so cool how he talks. I have no clue how he works, like if there's a camera inside him or something and a person nearby? Because obviously it's not a person INSIDE... so it's like... what the heck? Disney magic for ya!

Hahahah I love your Stitch photos! I love the one where yall are holding up your fingers like "ONE YEAR STITCH, ONE YEAR."

The new HM Q is just fantastico. MUY FANTASTICO!

Oooh, how are the corn dog nuggets? I didn't really like the Casey's hotdog I had but those look good!

 

[Twoboysnmygirl]

I LOVE that photopass caught your interaction with PUSH!!! What a great memory! The shots with Stitch are great as well, I LOVE that reaction he gave you!

 

[GatorMommy2007]

My four year old would LOVE PUSH! I love the honest reactions through your PP pictures!

And corn dog nuggets? Yes please! Those are on my "must have" list when we're back in the World.

And can we talk turkey legs? I LOVE turkey, but it weirds me out because the smoked turkey legs look like FLESH to me. HA!

 

[onelilspark]

Yay corn dog nuggets! Is it weird that I like you guys even more now that you've proclaimed your love of corn dog nuggets?

 

[JustLikeBelle]

Hi there! I'm a newbie to the disboards but a long time lurker...always been kind of nervous to post...silly right? Anyway, I have been following along in your trip report and wanted to say that I LOVE it! It has kept me laughing and you and your husband remind me a lot of me and mine! So excited to see what's coming next!

 

[marDgreen88]

Hi there! I'm a newbie to the disboards but a long time lurker...always been kind of nervous to post...silly right?

I don't mean to intrude on this but I totally know how you feel! I was nervous to post at first, too. BUT most of the people on the TR boards are really nice and welcoming so your nervousness will go away soon enough! Posting will become second nature.

 

[danimaroo]

YAY! another update! I love that you guys have your pp pictures so now we can see photos with BOTH of you....Those photos with Push and Stitch were great! have a good weekend!

YAY INDEEDIE! I am really happy about that, too! Some of them came out super cute and I'm looking forward to putting them in frames for our upstairs wall.

Stitch was awesome, because those were actually taken with my iPhone by the handler! She did a very good job of capturing some of my favorite photos of the trip.

I'm glad it arrived quickly. You are so welcome, I'm glad we are DIS BFFs because of it!

It sure did! And so am I!

Time for PUSH!! I had a hard time not spilling the beans because I was so excited to hear the whole story! I'm glad a PP photographer caught this all because it's adorable! Push has good taste because obviously Matt's shirt is awesome. I love that you were surprised to find out he was a live performer and not programmed. Disney Magic, right there.

YAY! I know, it was hard not telling everyone HI I MET PUSH AND WE CHATTED ABOUT LIFE. The PP photographer was awesome for catching it because otherwise it just wouldn't be the same. And yes, Matt's shirt ruled. I know, I was laughing so hard at it because I had no idea how PUSH worked!

Space Mountain is awesome, glad you remembered to keep your hair under control this time. That's so cute that Matt tried to protect your hat too, even though it backfired. I LOVE making awkward faces after SM especially once you are several screens in and people after you get to see what you're doing. One night this young guy pulled his shirt up and danced for everyone to see and it had the whole moving sidewalk cracking up.

Haha I know, Matt was trying to be a good husband but instead nearly lost me my cute Mickey hat. The faces on the sidewalk always make me laugh, so I make really stupid faces even though random strangers will see it. I just don't care.

Stitch! I love his reaction to whatever you told him! Too cute. That hug picture is priceless too! YES! I might have been more excited to meet a few characters than Riley was.

He was so funny and cute. I have no idea what I told him but he seemed to be crushed! I loved meeting the characters, it was so much fun.

Yay for beating Matt and hitting such a high score! Boo for getting soaked on Splash. Well I'm sure you guys didn't mind with the heat, but still it's never all too fun to be drenched.

Yeah I bet him good, he wasn't happy. I didn't mind being soaked that time because it was super hot out. But I hate when it's hot and humid because you never dry off and THAT'S when it's not so fun.

Random and creepish, but Matt's wedding band looks like the one I have for Andy. Carbon fiber in the middle?

I know Matt already answered this, but yes, it's carbon fiber! It almost has a checkered pattern if you look at it closely. I think we have such good taste, don't we?!

Haunted Mansion AND a turkey leg?! Sounds like a good idea right about now. Those turkey legs are massive and awkward to eat, but I actually like them. Glad you guys got to try one! Yes, this has me dying!

I know, I would really enjoy both of those things are this moment. They are huge and awkward to eat, because they're also SUPER hot. Definitely a whole lot of turkey to eat. Those birds would follow everyone for turkey! I actually saw them eating a bunch of turkey from some kids one day and it creeped me out, hahaha.

That area outside of Splash does get SO SO SO clogged! It was ridiculous.
Mmm Casey's. You forgot the plastic cheese for your fries though.

I know, it really annoys me and I want to just tell everyone to move! I love Casey's so much! Matt is way more of a fun of the plastic cheese than I am, I have to say, haha.

I know what you're off to do! Spoiler alert -->Monorail tour!!!This is Tuesday and we had Chef Mickey's reservations so we were saying we might bump into each other

DINGDING! You are so right, yay. I forgot about that! I was hoping we'd run into you!

fun! we met Push in disneyland. it is cool to look for the person who controls him. my dd put a balloon into push - the garbage - it was really cute. I wish we had photos!

PUSH is really fun. Next time we see him I'll have to keep an eye out for whoever the heck it is controlling him. He cracks me up with that little voice. I was SO happy that the PP photographer caught it. Definitely made me happy.

I have to say that I soooo Love the pics of you and Matt near PUSH....

I love them because neither of you knew the PP was taking your pictures and you both have biggest smiles and SUCH a look of joy on your face - you can see the feelings are coming from your heart!

That's what Disney is all about!!!

Thank you! I really love them too just for the same reason you like. We really loved that moment.. Candids are definitely my favorite types of photos when you can see people just being genuinely happy. Glad you noticed that, too.

Haha, yup! It's a tungsten ring with a carbon fiber inset. I love it! Good taste

It's pretty snazzy... but we need to get you a new one since it's too big now. Wompwomp. Good taste indeedie!

 

[danimaroo]

Yay for the photopass cd! Yes... yes, I have heard of the legend of Push. I want to see him! Not even sure how I've missed him. It's so cool how he talks. I have no clue how he works, like if there's a camera inside him or something and a person nearby? Because obviously it's not a person INSIDE... so it's like... what the heck? Disney magic for ya!

I am so happy I have the CD now! PUSH was something I'd only heard of on the DISboards, so when I saw him I got really excited. We only ran into him that one day, since I think he only comes our certain times/days. But his little voice is SO funny. I'm pretty sure someone controls him with a remote.. Not sure where the person with the microphone is, like if they're just nearby and watching or there's a camera, no idea... It's probably similar to how I creepily called people at the phone booths in England while hiding near the Rose and Crowne.

Hahahah I love your Stitch photos! I love the one where yall are holding up your fingers like "ONE YEAR STITCH, ONE YEAR."

OMG Stitch was too cute. The CM who took the photos on my iPhone did SUCH a good job though! I was very happy with the photos she took. And yes, we were VERY serious about telling him one year, hahaha.

The new HM Q is just fantastico. MUY FANTASTICO!

Yes, yes it is. I love when I get to actually play in it and not feel like a goob because no one else is doing it.

Oooh, how are the corn dog nuggets? I didn't really like the Casey's hotdog I had but those look good!

I really really liked them! I never had a hot dog from there, so I'm not sure how they would compare... But the corn dog nuggets were delicious!!

I LOVE that photopass caught your interaction with PUSH!!! What a great memory! The shots with Stitch are great as well, I LOVE that reaction he gave you!

It is definitely a wonderful memory to have for us! And yeah, that CM took great photos on my iPhone. I was shocked that she caught so many great moments, since I figured she would only take a photo of us posing with him. Stitch was hilarious and cute and was VERY expressive, haha.

My four year old would LOVE PUSH! I love the honest reactions through your PP pictures!

PUSH is awesome for everyone to chat with! He's a funny little guy, definitely hilarious, and loves being fed with trash from kids, haha. I was glad the PP photographer got it all because we really did think it was hilarious!

And corn dog nuggets? Yes please! Those are on my "must have" list when we're back in the World.

OMG they're so good. I want some for lunch right now!!

And can we talk turkey legs? I LOVE turkey, but it weirds me out because the smoked turkey legs look like FLESH to me. HA!

Haha they are kind of monstrous to eat, I'm not going to lie! That and they're super hot so when you bite into it, it's kind of intense. They're tasty though! Not sure I'd ever get one for myself but it was fun to have a little bite, haha.

Yay corn dog nuggets! Is it weird that I like you guys even more now that you've proclaimed your love of corn dog nuggets?

Haha it's not weird at all because the corn dog nugs (as I like to call them) are SO GOOD! I will definitely get them again next time we're in Disney World!

Hi there! I'm a newbie to the disboards but a long time lurker...always been kind of nervous to post...silly right? Anyway, I have been following along in your trip report and wanted to say that I LOVE it! It has kept me laughing and you and your husband remind me a lot of me and mine! So excited to see what's coming next!

Oh but I'm so happy you decided to sign up for the DIS AND noticed my TR!! Thank you for taking the time to come out of lurkdom and said hi. I know exactly what you mean (and mardgreen's advice below is great!!); it's kind of intimidating commenting where you feel like you might be I dunno, interrupting or something? That's how I felt at first! But then I just started commenting and getting to know people and yeah.. I feel like I've met so many awesome people on here! People can be really nice (especially on the TR boards) and we all have a love for Disney, so it's great!

Anyway, glad you've been enjoying my TR so much! Feel free to comment ANY time, seriously. I love comments!! It's always great hearing that there are other married couples who love Disney as much as we do. Thanks again for commenting!!

 

[Flo's Mum]

My husband is going to copy Matt's "classically trained" T-shirt only his will have a pic of an Atari !! Super pics, thanks for the update.

 

[Joyciemc]

I was reallllllly far behind, but am now all caught up! I just read a whole buncha updates at once, so I don't remember what I wanted to comment on. Except for one thing...
the picture of the scooter in the paint spill is absolutely the funniest thing ever. Just picturing it now is making me actually laugh out loud. Love it.

Haha that is awesome! Yeah, his sister got it for him for Christmas and it was so perfect... and evidently he was not the only one who thought it was a great t-shirt!

NO WORRIES! I know I have tons of updates, and since I have been known to update pretty darn frequently, it's easy to get behind!

I am glad that made you laugh as hard as it made me laugh! Whenever I look at it I crack up so hard randomly just because it's the most absurd photo ever. I am just laughing so hard that I actually caught that by accident on camera, hahaha.
