Thank you for the four dances, Karin.

We like Giordano's, but Downtown we prefer Gino's East.

We had just walked through the Castle without anyone there so I could get unobstructed pictures and had our photo taken with a sword.

And as the theme of this trip kept moving along, we ran into some additional characters that we had never seen before. And it turned out to be at least a 10 minute gabfest!

I will now give you Mark's version of what transpired.

"We walked through the castle and as we were discussing where to go first, Kathy saw the Evil Stepsisters and suggested we hop in line to keep with the theme of meeting new characters this trip. We watched as some of the little Cinderella's didn't seem to thrilled with meeting the Evil Stepsisters."

"Soon it was our turn and we walked up and received the "evil" looks from Drizella and Anastasia and the I'm bored with you look from Lady Tremaine. I then asked them "How much do you ladies charge to haunt Cinderella's castle? And this is when all heck broke loose."

"Lady Tremaine informed us that the castle was not haunted, but the Haunted Mansion was haunted. And the stepsisters stepped in and literally, in unison said, but Mother we could haunt the castle."

It was absolutely hysterical. These characters stay true to form throughtout. The people waiting in line seemed to be getting a little impatient with us; even the Castmember who escorts the characters said to wrap it up, but the three of them would not quit. We were literally with them for 10 minutes. A few pictures from one of our best character interactions ever:

Practicing to be a ghost to haunt the castle:

The picture of Drizella with the dress up over head actually made me and Mackie laugh out loud!! Mackenzie loved reading this post, and more importantly loved seeing the pictures of Lady Tremaine with her not so pretty looks on her face.

This looked like a really fun day! John and I really do need to go for a short trip and have a great time letting him take us where he wants to go for the day. I'm so bad about wanting to plan everything I leave no room for spontaniety. This trip I'm going to try and let go more.
For a last day y'all know how to do it up right!

I'm with Mark, I love going on IASW at least once every trip!
I know you hate it, but it's a tradition! We make the kids go on it with us every trip.

Your time on Marco island looks like it' shaping up to be an amazing/relaxing time!!

Soooo glad you are feeling better, by the way.

Mmmmmm, we love Gino's East. A couple of days ago I was thinking of having a couple of them shipped to us.
Perhaps we will after our Christmas trip. Just the thing to beat Disney depression.

Don't mind me...

Just catching up from page 33.



So you didn't want to drink tequila to stay on schedule but you just stood there for 40 minutes? You should of went back and did some tequila shots!

I am still catching up. .....but this was my thought too.

 

[KatMark]

happy to hear you are feeling better! did you get some Disney styled toes?

I didn't get my pedicure today. They called me just as I was leaving the house to ask if anyone had called to tell me Bianca would not be there. I said no and asked if she worked Monday or Tuesday...my last opportunity to get it done. They informed me she was no longer at the salon. They rescheduled me with someone new tomorrow night. I did get my massage with Edward and he told me what happened with Bianca and I sent off a very nasty email about the reason she was fired. I told them I would not be coming back there for a pedicure after that episode.

When I do get them done, they will be Minnie red.

Camille, believe it or not, it was even funnier in person.

It's so nice to just let it all go and go with the flow...it was such a great time.

I'll do IASW...just don't like it.

It really was realxing and fun too.

Soooo glad you are feeling better, by the way.

Thank you...feeling a whole lot better and I'm headed to bed in a few to try to get another full 8 hours sleep.

Oooh...that sounds like a good idea.

Not a tequila drinker; actually, I don't drink a whole lot unless I'm on vacation.

Just checking in to see how many days you have left... Whoot... I can barely wait to hear about Mark's reaction!!!

D~ <--- who wishes someone would surprise her with a Disney trip... Sigh.

 

[blessedmom4]

Kathy, That M&G with the Steps was absolutely HYSTERICAL!...and Lady Tremaine looks like a man in that last pic! It must be a hoot to live with you and Mark, what a great question. Looking forward to more!

 

[jenseib]

wooohoooo! I have now cuaght up! I think Istarted at being 25-30 pages behind.
There is just way too much to remember to comment on. It looks like your Disney trip was fun. I love the Step sisters and the "ghost" practicing. Too funny. It's so nice you got such great interaction.
I always love your balloon tradition.
I can't believe how fast you put out these updates. You are amazing.

3 days left, D. I can hardly believe it. I'm going to try to wrap this TR up today or tomorrow at the latest and then maybe do a last update on my PTR before we go.

I hope someone gives you a surprise trip some day.

Judy, they were so much fun. At home, we are your average boring couple...dinner at night, watch some TV.

I'm glad you are caught up...but you had an excuse...youw ere on vacation.

The Stepsisters were so much fun.

Thanks...I've not decided if I'm doing the balloon this week or not; I'm thinking I should just do that on our annual visit.

More updates coming up.

 

[that's nice]

So Jen has an excuse but I don't? WE WERE THERE AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!





BTW, good morning!

 

[KatMark]

Today was another beach day. And the weather couldn't have been better as you can see from the pictures:

Beautiful blue skies:

Mark's friends, of course, came to visit again:

We did some shell hunting, frolicked in the water and sat and just enjoyed our last day at the beach.

When it was time to go back to the condo for lunch, Mark seemed to be having a hard time gathering all his belongings

I think it was his way of saying he didn't want to go home in two days.

After lunch, we once again hit our private pool:

Two very happy people when they are here (not that we aren't happy the rest of the time)

Like he says, he may get older, but he'll never grow up:

As we walked back to the room to get ready for dinner, we walked along the dock and saw a dolphin (these are kind of hard to see, but if you look, you can see his back in a few)

Continued in next post

 

[KatMark]

Dinner tonight was at

Kind of fits are personalities, yes?

Here are pictures of the food...yes, I remembered this meal:

Me and sis

It was another perfect day in paradise.

Up next, our last day before we have to go home

Yes!!!! But she hasn't started her TR which I'm aware of, she doesn't post on a certain PTR like you do while ignoring your own and everyone else's.

Seriously, you are forgiven to.

And good morning to you my friend.

Actually I did start it ...and noticed both of you missing.

But thats OK, I know you are both busy too. I'm not too far into that one yet as I am really trying to work on my cruise one from Sept more. But I do have more than 1 update.

 

[that's nice]

Mark is silly.

When are you moving there again?


I have to post on my PTR thread. I can't have Barry beating me with post count on there too.

 

[KatMark]

Oooh. I love the dolphin sightings.
Skip is a big kid too.

We saw so many dolphins and manatees this year...but it sure is hard getting a decent picture.

I love when our men can act like big kids.
