Zen And The Art Of PTR Maintenance. Sept 2016 PTR. 16/4 Trip Report Anyone??

[pkondz]

You should never feel uncool on this thread! After all I'm running it!

It couldn't possibly get any more uncool than that!

Oh, wait.
There's my TR.

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

It couldn't possibly get any more uncool than that!

Hey! Watch it mister!

Oh, wait.
There's my TR.

Yeah that's more like it!

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

Hey there my super cool friends...and pkondz

I thought I would check in to give you a update and tell you that my mom and dad had a super beautiful vow renewal on Tuesday!

Do you want to see my pre reception selfie?


Ta Da!

Apparently I never smile in selfies!!



I was happy I promise!

It was such a special day, my daddy cried and my momma looked so beautiful! I don't have any photos of the actual day because, luckily, I wasn't the photographer!

I have been Disney planning and I am going to post some of those plans...maybe now...if I don't get distracted!

​

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

So I said I was going to actually talk about my Disney plans in this, you known, Disney planning PRT. Shocking I know!
Its now only....416 days to go! Real blink and you'll miss it time right there! So I can start booking ADR's in only 236 days! And then FP+'s in only 356!

Who's idea was it to book a trip this far away?!

God damn it Fredo!

Wait, where was I? Oh right my plans!

So I have my AKL stay plans down but I had to redo all my other plans since we moved everything around!
Who's idea was it to move everything around?!

God damn it Fre-oh...

Before I had planned on the Poly after AKL but now we are booked for the BC!

I am going to do more detailed day by day plans later (when I can ve bothered to type it all out ) but for now I am going to do a brief outline of what I want to achieve while a BC.

ADR's:

First things first I want to eat at Beaches and Cream!
That is a must do if there ever was one! And, efficiency, why not do it while at BC?

Secondly I am thinking of doing Yachtsman while we are at BC too, but I'm not sure as we would be doing OOP rather than DDP so I haven't made my mind up on that yet.

Thirdly I am planning do doing the Fantasmic Dinner Package while we are here, I am 99% sure we will go with Mama Melrose for this. DM loved Mama Melrose when we went last time, I was really ill so I barely ate!

Parks:

As we are between Epoct and HS they will be the main focus. I have heard that the BC buses are pretty useless so since we can walk or boat it to these two I doubt we will use the bus that often.

I am thinking Epcot the first day, then HS the next two then Epcot the last day.

Resort:

One of the big draws of BC is of course SAB which I really want to utilize. Usually when I'm at WDW I'm a park commando (no, not in that sense because eww!) and I very rarely spend much time at the resort. But as we are doing such a resort tour it would be stupid to just ignore the resorts!

It would be nice to watch Illumiations from the pool one night.
Also I really want to explore the Boardwalk. DM has never been and I have only ever set foot there once! With it being so close it would be neglectful to ignore it!

I think that is all I have to say right now!

See ya!

​

 

[KathyM2]

I literally cannot wait for Zoolander 2!!! That and Fuller House are my two top things

OMG me too...so much fun!! Zoolander was one of those movies that you just have to keep watching over and over and it gets better each time.

Love your planning...so much fun. I know it's way in advance but at least this way you can change it all around and think it all through lol

 

[cinderkelly]

Aww! Super cute selfie! It's ok that you never smile in selfies, it makes you more mysterious!
Congratulations to your Mom and Dad! It's so awesome that they were able to do a vow renewal!

In other news... What days are you staying at the Poly? Cuz we switched from WL! I have a feeling though you'll have hula'd your way over somewhere else by the time we check in though. Oh wait, are you still going to the Poly or have you swapped it out for the BC?

Obviously I'm having a hard time keeping up!

 

[ursalita]

Pretty! I am so jealous of people who take good selfies. I literally have never taken a good selfie.

First things first I want to eat at Beaches and Cream!
That is a must do if there ever was one! And, efficiency, why not do it while at BC?

Best idea ever. I hope you order the No Way Jose. I strongly suggest pulling a Cooper.

Secondly I am thinking of doing Yachtsman while we are at BC too, but I'm not sure as we would be doing OOP rather than DDP so I haven't made my mind up on that yet.

Doooo eeet! I'm dying to try Yachtsman and I don't even eat steak.

Thirdly I am planning do doing the Fantasmic Dinner Package while we are here, I am 99% sure we will go with Mama Melrose for this. DM loved Mama Melrose when we went last time, I was really ill so I barely ate!

We loved the Mama Melrose Fantasmic! package. I'm super snobby about Italian food and I liked it. It's also awesome to stroll into the theater last minute and get a sweet seat.

It would be nice to watch Illumiations from the pool one night.

I had no idea you could see Illuminations from SAB. I fail at life.

Also I really want to explore the Boardwalk. DM has never been and I have only ever set foot there once! With it being so close it would be neglectful to ignore it!

We got to explore it a little. We checked out some shops and the bakery. I regret not renting the bikes they have to ride around the boardwalk and BC/YC area.

 

[pkondz]

Hey there my super cool friends...and pkondz

Le sigh........

Do you want to see my pre reception selfie?

YES!!!


And... Your ex is an absolute brainless idiot.

I was happy I promise!

It was such a special day, my daddy cried and my momma looked so beautiful!

Awwww....

I have been Disney planning and I am going to post some of those plans...maybe now...if I don't get distracted!

So I said I was going to actually talk about my Disney plans in this, you known, Disney planning PRT. Shocking I know!

Whoa! Where does the time go!!

So I can start booking ADR's in only 236 days! And then FP+'s in only 356!

Trust me. That's the way to go.
Or there's my way.
Book the flight and resort and make all ADRs and FP+ in the span of an hour or so.

Excellent movie.

 

[Leshaface]

Hey there my super cool friends...and pkondz

Poor @pkondz ..but i'm guessing he deserves it!

Babe alert! Love the lip color

t was such a special day, my daddy cried and my momma looked so beautiful

Aw that is awesome! How long have they been married??

I'm disgusting, but I love the smell of markers. Not the flavored ones, but like the hardcore, king size Sharpies. They smell good to me!

OH my gosh, does this mean I get high all the time?!?

So I can start booking ADR's in only 236 days! And then FP+'s in only 356!

So. far. away. I think you're close to Disneyland Paris to make a trip over there to pass the time.

One of the big draws of BC is of course SAB which I really want to utilize. Usually when I'm at WDW I'm a park commando (no, not in that sense because eww!) and I very rarely spend much time at the resort. But as we are doing such a resort tour it would be stupid to just ignore the resorts!

Glad i'm not the only one who jumps to this conclusion when someone says commando! But for reals, I never get a chance - rather, allow myself to schedule relaxation/pool time on my vacation. Who does that?!

 

[pkondz]

Poor @pkondz ..but i'm guessing he deserves it!

<sigh> I would argue with you, but.... yes.

Babe alert!

No fair! I wanted to say that, and.... then there's all the residual stuff.
Is he coming on to her?
What does he mean by that?
Perv! (well, that part's true)
Aren't you married, mister? (that's true too... plus I'm old enough to be her father... heck, I might even be older than her father...)

Still... I ain't dead! And I can recognize beauty when I see it.

 

[BibbitybobityLu]

OMG me too...so much fun!! Zoolander was one of those movies that you just have to keep watching over and over and it gets better each time.

I love that movie!

Love your planning...so much fun. I know it's way in advance but at least this way you can change it all around and think it all through lol

I really do love the planning nearly as much as the actual trip which is lucky! I'm sure I will have changed everything around at least fifteen times more before we actually go!

Aww! Super cute selfie! It's ok that you never smile in selfies, it makes you more mysterious!

I really hate photos of myself! They never look ANYTHING like me! I look at them and I'm like "who the heck is that?!"

Oh yes I'm very mysterious!

Congratulations to your Mom and Dad! It's so awesome that they were able to do a vow renewal!

It was such a lovely day!

In other news... What days are you staying at the Poly? Cuz we switched from WL! I have a feeling though you'll have hula'd your way over somewhere else by the time we check in though. Oh wait, are you still going to the Poly or have you swapped it out for the BC?

Obviously I'm having a hard time keeping up!

I just read your PTR on that! I haven't commented yet but I will get back over in a jiffy! We are there September 15th - September 19th. So I think we will miss you

We didn't cancel any hotels (just added more ) so we are now doing: AKL, BC, GF, Poly, CR then OKW.

I have no idea why you cant keep up with all my crazy, multiple changes!
Its not like I'm making it complicated by having six hotels and repeatedly changing the order!

Pretty! I am so jealous of people who take good selfies. I literally have never taken a good selfie.

I actually hate photos of myself! I really, really hate selfies but that is the only photo for the day I have right now!

And I totally have seen photos of me that totally ruin my day! My passport for one!

Best idea ever. I hope you order the No Way Jose. I strongly suggest pulling a Cooper.

I love that!

Doooo eeet! I'm dying to try Yachtsman and I don't even eat steak.

We loved the Mama Melrose Fantasmic! package. I'm super snobby about Italian food and I liked it. It's also awesome to stroll into the theater last minute and get a sweet seat.

I made some really bad food choices when we went (calamari?? ) so I am hoping I will do better this time! That is a big draw for me! I don't like waiting!

I had no idea you could see Illuminations from SAB. I fail at life.

I'm guessing you can...I thought I saw photos somewhere...maybe I imagined it!

We got to explore it a little. We checked out some shops and the bakery. I regret not renting the bikes they have to ride around the boardwalk and BC/YC area.

That does sound like fun! I don't think we will get to do that either as DM is a HORRIBLE bike rider...I mean the WORST!

Le sigh........

YES!!!


And... Your ex is an absolute brainless idiot.

And...yes he is!

Whoa! Where does the time go!!

I don't know...back to the future maybe?

Trust me. That's the way to go.
Or there's my way.
Book the flight and resort and make all ADRs and FP+ in the span of an hour or so.

Part of me would reeeallllyyy like to do it that way because then it would be so soon! I am just going to have to past the time reading about your next trip!

Excellent movie.

poor @pkondz ..but i'm guessing he deserves it!

Yes

Babe alert! Love the lip color

Its from a lipset by Sephora. I love Sephora I wish they had them here! Doesn't stop me spending way to much online and shipping it over though!

Aw that is awesome! How long have they been married??

They have been married nearly eighteen years (together nearly twenty!)

I'm disgusting, but I love the smell of markers. Not the flavored ones, but like the hardcore, king size Sharpies. They smell good to me!

OH my gosh, does this mean I get high all the time?!?

Yes I think it does!

So. far. away. I think you're close to Disneyland Paris to make a trip over there to pass the time.

You know I have NEVER been to Disneyland Paris! It is really close but no one ever wanted to go! So we never did! Personally I want to visit every Disney park one day so I might have to solo it
But outside WDW I really want to visit Disneyland, I am super jealous how close you are!

Glad i'm not the only one who jumps to this conclusion when someone says commando! But for reals, I never get a chance - rather, allow myself to schedule relaxation/pool time on my vacation. Who does that?!

I also go there when someone says they like to go commando!
Normally I wouldn't ever schedule pool/resort time but as we will be there early September its going to be HOT and since DM isn't always super thrilled with humidity we decided it was a must!

<sigh> I would argue with you, but.... yes.

But we forgive you!

No fair! I wanted to say that, and.... then there's all the residual stuff.

Still... I ain't dead! And I can recognize beauty when I see it.

Actually my father (biological anyway) is well into his sixties so you are younger than him!
He was well into his forties when I was born!

But thank you!

(I don't take compliments well! )

 

[Leshaface]

I didn't say it...

Hi!

Thanks for joining in! I love having people comment! Makes me feel less like I scared everyone away!

I have a very strong addiction to gifs!
Mostly I just use Giphy or Google Images. If I could this whole PTR would just be gifs!

Your trip is so soon now! Are you going to do a TR when you get back?

 

[alrushton]

You always bring such fun to the disboards.

 

[pkondz]

Dang!

Wait... Maybe that's a good thing.

Lu's diary. Entry July 17, 2015.
Make a list of all those whom I truly love and admire and have great respect for.

Well, there really isn't any point in going on, is there?

Part of me would reeeallllyyy like to do it that way because then it would be so soon! I am just going to have to past the time reading about your next trip!

But we forgive you!

Score!!!
Now I can go back to being my usual jerk self again!

Actually my father (biological anyway) is well into his sixties so you are younger than him!

So... You're saying there's a chance for us, then.

I'll have to break it to Ruby, but I'm sure she'll understand.
Hang on, BRB.

























She didn't.
She hit me.
And it hurts.


A lot.

Better stick with my lobster.

I just thought it

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!

You should definitely go to DLP one day...with it being so much closer for you. I just wouldn't reccomend going in the heat of summer...and the crowds...ugh. I wouldn't necessarily fly back across the ocean to see it again...but if it wouldn't be so hard for you to get to, then I would check it out. We went a couple years ago and liked it - but it definitely had a different vibe than WDW and seemed wayyyy more crowded.

I did plan a DLP trip once, taking my mom, dad and brother a few years ago (my dad has really bad tinnitus and vertigo so he can't fly) but then no one actually wanted to go!
Of all the Disney parks its not the top of my list! But its still a Disney park so I still want to visit it someday!
