How did you get all my quotes to say Andy's SN?
I replied to Andy's TR before yours and didn't change the copy-paste header for the quotes. Or I'm an idiot. Or both.

Were you forced to be a lawn gnome?Short Backstory
Well, I'm sure you'll be planning it that way a lot in the future. I know I would for free Dole Whips.We've met each other in Disney 3 times before this trip, not because we planned it like that, it just happened that way.
Wow... Southwest magic. Even more rare and more impressive than Disney magic.She gave Melody a pass to be the first group on the plane... even before the A's!
Hi Mark.I think we just passed the DelMarVa
Great moment!when Melody grabbed my hand and put it on her belly. I felt our daughter kick for the first time. It was so amazing!
You read that for a little over an hour...I leaned over and started reading what Melody was reading on her iPad. 50 Shades of Gray. LOL I think we read that for a little over an hour when it was time to land. (Just when it was starting to get good.LOL)
Come to find out Melody went to high school with her niece. Small World.
Let the head games begin...I ended up in corral B. Sweet. Barry, who was in corral B, texted me and asked me what corral I was in. I told him I was placed in A. He didn't believe me so I broke down and told him B. He still didn't believe me. LOL
I've done that before myself. Usually I catch it as I post it and edit before it is too late. Or if I haven't caught it, I guess I at least haven't been called out for it.I replied to Andy's TR before yours and didn't change the copy-paste header for the quotes. Or I'm an idiot. Or both.
Thanks for reading!!!This is going to be great reading. Congratulations on having another Princess. Melody is beautiful as always.
The 1/2 was really a fun race. There are a few people here who ran the full... I'm sure they will tell you that the heat was no fun.Joining in on the TR! I'm hoping to run the full marathon next year so I'm interested in hearing about your half experience!
Limping on in.
I know. It's like they know when you are bringing them.The airport is always empty when you DON'T have the kids.
Maybe I will have to shoot to be there on Thursday if there is a next time.Yes the expo was less crowded Thursday.... Walked right in and had some space to walk around too. Still did not see that wall... I guess others were looking for their name and I just walked on by....
What day did you arrive? Wed?I think I had the same CM at check in. Need to look on that camera for the picture.
Awwww Mark. I was just trying to figure out what you did.I replied to Andy's TR before yours and didn't change the copy-paste header for the quotes. Or I'm an idiot. Or both.
I wanted to get this TR done quickly. There isn't that much. There were only 4 days and I didn't take too many pictures. Melody always yells at me that we have 100 of the same picture.joining in. I will warn you, writing 2 is VERY hard. I need to get my Sept one done so I can concentrate on just one, but I just can't get the time to devote to it.
Yes. And a sexy one at that...Were you forced to be a lawn gnome?
Wait till you see how many free Dole Whips I cashed in on....Well, I'm sure you'll be planning it that way a lot in the future. I know I would for free Dole Whips.
Wow... Southwest magic. Even more rare and more impressive than Disney magic.
And we had to shut it off right when Christian was flying Ana to his house in Portland.You read that for a little over an hour...
POLL: Did Melody & I ride IASW without kids?
Let the head games begin...
That is so cute that your little girl kicked you, she must be Team Barry...
Did Ana know you were going to Mickey Mouse's house?Yep. We left them home with our moms. It was weird being there without them.
AK.. my mom bought it for her in Nov. at a shop across from the Tusker House.Ahhh! So many things to comment on!
I love Melody's shirt! Where did she get it?
It felt really weird being there without her. This was the first time I went to WDW without having a kid in tow.Was it weird going to WDW without Juliana? Did she know where you were going?
We liked the resort a lot. I wish I was back there now.OKW!! I miss it there!
Camille!I'm always late to your TR's!
Oh well, better late than never!
Gotta go read now.
We told her and she took it extremely well. I think she liked the idea of running the house while we were gone.Did Ana know you were going to Mickey Mouse's house?
She is soooo excited. She wanted a sister when Christopher came and now she is getting her wish.That's so cool that you're having another little Princess. Bet Ana can't wait to have a sister
You're really starting to make me question the whole Team Tim thing now...And we had to shut it off right when Christian was flying Ana to his house in Portland.
You're really starting to make me question the whole Team Tim thing now...
That's good.We told her and she took it extremely well. I think she liked the idea of running the house while we were gone.
Aws I bet she'll mother over her and dress her up in so many weird and wonderful waysShe is soooo excited. She wanted a sister when Christopher came and now she is getting her wish.
Hey Dawn!!!checking in.
I guess I should't tell you that I read the next 2 chapters when we got home because I had to see what happened.You're really starting to make me question the whole Team Tim thing now...
HUSH you!I Know!
I'm sure of this!Aws I bet she'll mother over her and dress her up in so many weird and wonderful ways
I tried to go back to sleep but no luck. (I'll probably lose my man card for this) I leaned over and started reading what Melody was reading on her iPad. 50 Shades of Gray. LOL I think we read that for a little over an hour when it was time to land. (Just when it was starting to get good.LOL)
Oh, I am not touching this one...I'm going to leave it to all of your DISdads!
Normally I might jump all over this, but based on what I've heard about 50 SoG it isn't a bad thing for you and Mel to be "on the same page" if you know what I mean...........Yea, this is bound to be good.
I'm sending you a whip for Christmas.
Oh, I can see Kathy jumping all over THIS one!!!No thanks.. I already have one. Do I need to remind you?
Don't think I'm touching this one either...........Well, money shot out of my wallet.
Hey wait! I thought you left the kiddos with your Mom??? Who is this Christian you are letting your little Princess run around the country with???And we had to shut it off right when Christian was flying Ana to his house in Portland.
Now who in their right mind would ride IASW without kids along??? Well, unless it is Mark while everyone else is off riding ToT...........POLL: Did Melody & I ride IASW without kids?
Yes, but wouldn't you say that about the "All Stars," Pop, CSR, or any other Disney resort???We liked the resort a lot. I wish I was back there now.
I guess I should't tell you that I read the next 2 chapters when we got home because I had to see what happened.
(and if you were ever thinking of reading it, you should start where I did when I got home.. .it's like skipping all the... ummm never mind )
Oh well. It's not like $200 would buy much in Disney World anyway.Unfortunately, we didn't pass GO, nor did we collect our $200.
What kind of representatives of Team Tim are they if they're sitting there letting Randall run his mouth????As I got closer to R&C, I can hear the girly voice of Randall yelling, 'Team Barry Rules!' I quickly considered just to continue walking past Rose & Crown, but there were a few other guys with him... including some of the Team Tim members.
50 Shades of Tim????I think we sat and talked for close to an hour. Then it was time to get Randall back for beating me up in November... In case you missed it- first he put me in a head lock..
Nov. 2012
Then he tossed me to the ground and stomped on me.
Nov. 2012
Ok, that makes up for the lack of action earlier.So it was time for payback. First we tossed Randall to the ground, draped a Team Barry shirt over him, then went Team Tim style on him! (No penguins were hurt during this stomping)
So it was every 10 minutes instead then???We didn't hurt him too bad... but we this did stop him from yelling Team Barry every 5 minutes.
I guess he had to settle for the belly dancer since he couldn't get Jasmine!I resisted the temptation as I watched Randall ask the belly dancer to hold his penguins and pose for a picture. The guy was out of control.. LOL
Poor Crash...Melody & I sat with CJ & Crash, Barry, Barry's friend and his son. We had a nice dinner discussing running, food, Disney, and ummm vasectomies. I hope we didn't scar Crash for life with this conversation.
I don't think I could ever go to Via Napoli and not order pizza.There was a consensus on our side of the table anyway, that we should of just ordered pizza.
I'm kind of on the fence about it. I always enjoy seeing it, but I don't think near as highly of it as Wishes and Fantasmic. The storyline to it is interesting and the massive explosions at the end that shake you to your core are pretty awesome, but the globe thing that you can't see very well all the way in middle of the lake anyway kind of loses me.I don't know how you feel, but Illuminations doesn't do that much for me. I think now that Melody has seen it too, she feels the same way.
Wow... who needs rest before running 13 miles??We unpacked a bit, and I looked at the clock. 10:55. UGH I was meeting Barry outside the room at 3:10am to get to the 1/2. After getting situated and showering, I think it was about 11:30 before I finally laid down. I really hope I could sleep... and not sleep through my alarm.
