1 crazy family+2 resorts+5 parks+1 snake+1 surprise=A Mickeystoontown report 4/3x2

[sewmess]

Maybe your DH should take a camera into the mens room too.

Oh, he's probably planning on it.

-now back to your regularly scheduled TR from Mickeystoontown.


(Sorry Lisa )

Somehow I missed a comment in here somewhere.
First, just wanted to say that I will continue to send thoughts and prayers for you and your family through such a rough time. The Dis Boards are a great place to go to get a lot of prayers sent to the man upstairs!

Second, wishing you loads of good luck with the Moms Panel!! You would make an awesome addition.

Love the photos of Hunter!! He plays along so well with the hijinks! I honestly think that boys who have been brought along to Disney since they are little are kinder, gentler souls who find themselves enjoying all the littler things in life as well as knowing how to have fun without worrying about who may see them!! Kudos to Hunter!

We went to Pecos this summer for the first time. Of course, the boys had the burgers! Enjoyed it. The CMs were really policing the eating area when we were there, too.

 

[momabbate]

Your pictures of Little Mermaid looks great. I can't wait to see the new Fantasyland!
We tried Pecos Bill last trip and weren't thrilled with it. Granted we went at the start of evening EMH. Your pics and all the positive reviews it might make the list to retry next year.

 

[MissPrice]

Great updates! I love the pictures of Hunter posing as Gaston and with the sword and shield. Hilarious! MMmm Pecos Bills looks so delicious. I'm hungry now. Yeah, I never loved that cattle feeling you get in the haunted mansion queue. The one at DL is not quite as bad. Still love the ride though! Great pictures on Big Thunder. -Amanda

 

[MagicShell]

OK, I have never met him but I love Hunter. What a great kid, umm teenager. I love how he is not "too cool" to have fun with his family even at Disney World.

 

[GrammyJudy]

I was with my daughter Megan and grandson's yesterday and we were talking Disney (of course) and Cody mentioned Peco Bills. I told him about your tray of fixings! They got a kick out of it. We are down to 74 days.

 

[FancyNancy]

This update has really made me want to try Pecos Bills on our January trip. It's one of the only MK quick services I have not done yet.
The pic of Hunter posing in front of Gaston's Fountain is hilarious!

 

[TinksThree]

Great shots on HM with no flash!! All of your pictures were fun! And the slot machine utensils...hilarious!!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Great installment...we love Pecos bills

We love Pecos Bill's too. It's been a long time favorite of our's.

Nice update, love the photos At least you didnt look like Hannibal Lector this time on BTM LOL

Oh yeah! This "wind in the hair" look on BTM was waaaay better than Hannibal Lector.

I love all of the silly Hunter pics. The Gaston one and the one in Belle's shop were priceless. You must laugh a lot with that boy around.

I haven't seen the slot machine utensil holders! Your burgers look tasty. I'd rather be having one of them at WDW than a chicken salad sandwich at home right now.

We DO laugh a lot with Hunter around. He's such a goofball and loves to make people laugh.

The slot machine utensil holders were at a few places but not all of them.

 

[mickeystoontown]

I love the pics of you all on Buzz!

I don't know what you are feeding Hunter but you better stop or he won't be able to fit through doorways soon

I couldn't get any pics on Little Mermaid that weren't blurry either

Good luck with the Mom's Panel! I'm cheering for you

I know! I can't believe how tall Hunter is getting! He's taller than his daddy.

Thanks for the good luck wishes! I would love to make it on the panel.

Just a quick note to say that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Also -- good luck with the Mom's Panel!!

Thank you Darla! The prayers are greatly appreciated and are needed.

I've finally finished my tr and read yours entirely today,yes it took me hours but thats okay lol I'm not feeling well today so I wasn't going to do anything anyways,plus what better thing to do than read a tr by my fave reporter!Although I truthfully did stop for pizza lunch break ,that was very hard to do n also took me over an hour to eat one slice(had 2 teeth pulled)I had to cut up small like I did when my girls were babies n trying it for the first time.Tr is going great so far,sorry for all the real life things though please know i'm thinking of you all

Good to see you all caught up again! I'm so far behind on my subscribed threads. Ughhhhh....two teeth pulled?

Hey girl still praying here. I did go and put in an application. Thanks for reminding me . I don't know why I apply every year as I never get even a second glance . Disney does not know what they are missing out on by not picking you!! You were creative in you choice of characters too. I chose Tink. Not only is she feisty, she likes to mess with stuff, you know like me laying flooring...........

Thank you Dana! I apply every year too. One day, we'll make it.

Hi Lisa.....here I am VERY LATE for the party but since there are no supervisors here today it was a perfect time to read your ENTIRE trip report in one sitting. Thank God for those chapter links!!! We will be celebrating Victoria's sweet 16 in Orlando, too, even though it's going to be a month later --- the trip, not her birthday!! Anyways, I've subscribed now so I will be able to keep up!

It's never to late to join the Mickeystoontown Partaaaaay!

Continued thoughts and prayers! How's momma doing?



Good Luck on getting on the moms panel.

Thanks for the prayers! Mama's handling it pretty good. We're trying to keep things positive which is hard for her since she's such a worrier.

Lisa - I just was stopping by to see if you had updated recently. I am so sorry to hear about your family's loss. And so sorry that I am so late to read this. I hope the healing process has begun, although it will take a long, long time.

Has momma been ill, too? I pray she is in good health.

Thanks Mary Ellen! My cousin went to the house this weekend. I know that it had to be hard on her.

Mama is just worried about my cousin and you know how she worries.

 

[jenseib]

Lisa, I hope everyone is doing OK. We are still praying for your family!

 

[GrammyJudy]

Where are you Lisa. It has been forever since we had an installment�� I hope everything is okay with all of you

 

[EpcotBill]

Where are you Lisa. It has been forever since we had an installment�� I hope everything is okay with all of you

What! It hasn't been that long. She just started this report in June, it's only September. We have a good 6 months or so to go.

 

[pwdebbie]

OK, I have never met him but I love Hunter. What a great kid, umm teenager. I love how he is not "too cool" to have fun with his family even at Disney World.

He's going to make a great husband and father one day, I can already tell. Shoot, if he lived closer I might be tempted to introduce him to some young ladies, lol.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Your mine train pics don't look very different from the ones I took on Monday!

So glad it's slower here at WDW this week as I would hate that much congestion. And your HM pics turned out pretty good!

I love BTMR! And Pecos Bills!!! Had my taco salad there already this week

And Hunter is truly hilarious, in his Gaston fountain picture, knight reenactment in Belle's shop and "playing the slots"!

I bet that you're going through Disney withdrawals right about now. I know that I would be.

Hunter really is a hilarious guy and I'm proud of him.

Love the updates! And the Haunted Mansion head pictures are awesome. That's my very favorite ride, so I always like to see pics.

I know I keep saying this but Hunter is HILARIOUS! Every picture makes me laugh. And I also love that he's a 16 year old boy but doesn't mind at all still vacationing with his parents and to Disney! I hope my girls stay like that.

We've never tried Pecos Bills. It looks good! And I saw the chocolate cake on your tray. I love that stuff. If it's a choice at a CS place, I'll get it. My mouth is watering.

I have never been able to get good pics on Haunted Mansion but, then again, I don't have a great camera either.

Hunter is such a funny guy and we are very lucky that he has no problem hanging with the old guys.

The chocolate cake I so chocolatey but so good!

Fork slots have dangerous potential LOL omg hunter cracks me up,like who needs tv with him?

He is so funny and there's never a dull moment when he's around.

I'm still sending prayers for your family, and best of luck with the Moms panel!
I love the Haunted Mansion, but have to admit that I hate the cattle herding room too. Just give me an easy to follow single file line please!
Love the Big Thunder pics! Pecos Bill's looks yummy.

Thank you for the continued prayers!

The cattle herding needs to be stopped! You'd think that there'd be a better way to handle that section of the line.

Love the updates, Lisa.

Love Hunter's "Gaston" pose.

I'm with John; I hate that leaving the stretching room and trying to all get in a single file line...they really need to do something about that.

Yay for Big Thunder Mountain and fastpasses for it too. One of my favorites of all time.

Boy...that was a lot of fixins. The only thing you had there that I like from Pecos Bills is their onion rings...but I could eat three baskets of those things.

I had a hard time figuring out those new dispensers for the silverware at first.

There has to be a better way to get the people out of the stretching rooms and into the next line.

The Pecos Bills onion rings are great! I usually take mine off the burger and eat it all by itself. Well, with lots of ketchup.

Hunter is such a ham. Life of the party that boy is!

Great update!

He is definitely the life of the party and I wouldn't have it any other way!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Great update Lisa! Loved Hunter at the utensil "slots" and Gaston! He's quite a funny kid! Great personality! Good luck with the Mom panel and prayers and thoughts are still with you and your family!

Look at that ticker! You're just 5 days away from your trip!

Hunter is a funny kid and brings lots of laughs to our days.

Thanks for the prayers and the good luck!

I LOVE Pecos Bills! I just LOVE that cheese on my burgers and for my fries!!! YUP that's on my MUST DO's for our March trip!!!!

Oh and it's a good thing that Hunter didn't stick around too long… that pose in front of the fountain looks JUST like Gaston!

Heck yeah, gotta have that cheese to dip the fries in.

Hunter has no problem whatsoever posing for pictures.

Oh, I forgot to say good luck with the Mom's Panel! They'd be crazy not to choose you!

Thank you!

Great pictures! I can't wait to see Rapunzel's tower for the first time in a couple of weeks! It looks beautiful!

With Haunted Mansion, I try to either be right by the wall that opens or way at the other side in the stretching room. I don't want to be in the herd.

Hunter is too funny! Love the faces.

I haven't eaten at Pecos Bill in so long. I don't even remember the last time. I'm addicted to the chicken waffle sandwiches at Sleepy Hollow right now.

Is that castle painting in the gift shop the Thomas Kinkade one? I've been drooling over that painting forever and they had some small canvas prints of that on the Disney cruise for about $100 and I jumped on it! Now I just have to find a place for it in my house.

I usually try to move over to the other side of the stretching room too or wait until most people leave but, when they have two rooms that open at once, we still get in the herd.

I wanted to try the chicken waffle but never did. I would love to have one right about now.

Great update. Yum the food at Pecos Bill's. I can't remember the last time I ate there. It's been years. But that plastic cheese and sautéed onions were my favorite.

What a beautiful picture of the Beast's castle. That's one of the best I've seen.

Love the Gaston pose! Brought a huge smile.

Maybe you should stop in Pecos Bill's next time ya'll are at the Magic Kingdom.

Aww, thanks for the compliment on the picture. I wish that I had of had more time to take a better picture but that's all I could get with all the people around.

Every time I see pictures of the new Rapunzel bathrooms I have to giggle. DH has already told me I have to take the camera in and get pictures of the inside. It has precedent - I have a picture of the floors in the bathrooms across from Flame Tree in AK because I wanted to show my sister the frogs.

Great update! and hope it gave you a little joy in the difficulties right now.

It's funny that you mentioned the bathroom pictures. I have so many pictures inside the bathrooms. It used to be a family joke that I could never go into a bathroom without taking pictures. I have the same frog floor picture!

Great update Lisa.... I think I have decided where I want to go on our MNSSHP night- PECOS BILLS. We didn't get a chance to stop in there last time and will definitely have to make time for that yummy cheese and mushrooms.. HMMMMMM!

Oh yeah....cheese, sautéed mushrooms and onions! Need to pop in there on your trip!

Lisa, I am so sorry your family is going through some rough times! Prayers from all of us here.

I love your little mermaid shots. I am happy that the line wasn't that long too. We lucked out in Nov too and did the walk through of the quegue, which was awesome!

We love Peso Bills too. I always see it now and think of the left over salad that John eats.

Thank you Jen! It's been tough!

We went back to the Little Mermaid attraction later in the trip and were standing in line for a while so we got to watch the little crab running here and there.

Yep, John's going to have a leftover salad every single time.

Glad to hear that updating on the DIS is giving you some relief from tough times.

That's sure a lot of people in the MK!!!

Those are great pictures of the busts in HM.

Love an afternoon in the wilderness of Big Thunder, Pecos Bill Burgers and more Big Thunder. That ride always makes me smile.

What a fun kid Hunter is to have around.

There were a bunch of folks at the MK that day. Wait 'til you see my pictures from later in the evening. Yikes!

Hunter is a pretty funny kid and he makes me smile 99% of the time.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Maybe your DH should take a camera into the mens room too.

Remember when John took the camera into the new men's bathroom in what used to be Mickeystoontown?

Hunter on Buzz reminds me of Jim Carrey. LOL
Blurry pics are good.
Sorry for what your family is going through. Thinking of all of you.
Good luck with the Mom’s panel.
Cracks me up how you all entertain yourselves. The slot machine is hysterical.
All caught up again. See ya soon.

Hunter does remind me a lot of Jim Carrey. I think he has a rubber face.

Thanks for the thoughts regarding the situation with my family.

Thanks for the good luck! I would love to make the panel.

It's amazing what entertains our family.

By the way if John wants to avoid the stretch room on hm he can take the handicapped route. Even though I use a scooter at Disney, I go the regular way as I like the stretch room story etc. I can walk just not all the walking at Disney anymore.

I didn't ever think about that. Way back when there were "elevator thingamabobs" in the Living Seas, we would ask to bypass that because Hunter didn't care for them. They were super nice about it too.

Now THAT is a tray full of fix ins! Too funny that you needed an entire tray for that! The other food looks good too!

Hunter is TOO funny with the pictures. That's so awesome that he really gets into the spirit of things and enjoys posing for pictures. My older son would never do that, although I could occasionally get Nick to play along. Hunter better never get too old to enjoy trips with you to WDW.

Love BTMMR!

It's always cool to get stuck on HM. It really does increase the opportunities for photos.

Heck yeah, we need a whole try for all the fixin's. Gotta have a little of this and a little of that.

Hunter absolutely loves to take crazy/silly photos and he's pretty good about hanging out with us too.

Good luck with the moms' panel! You'd be great!

Hunter is hysterical with his poses! What a fun kid!

Now I'm hungry for a burger and onion rings...

Thank you!

Hunter is a great kid and I'm proud that he doesn't mind being goofy.

Oh, he's probably planning on it.

-now back to your regularly scheduled TR from Mickeystoontown.


(Sorry Lisa )

No need to apologize. I'm slacking on the updates!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Somehow I missed a comment in here somewhere.
First, just wanted to say that I will continue to send thoughts and prayers for you and your family through such a rough time. The Dis Boards are a great place to go to get a lot of prayers sent to the man upstairs!

Thank you! I am so fortunate to have met so many wonderful people on the Disboards.

Second, wishing you loads of good luck with the Moms Panel!! You would make an awesome addition.

Thank you!

Love the photos of Hunter!! He plays along so well with the hijinks! I honestly think that boys who have been brought along to Disney since they are little are kinder, gentler souls who find themselves enjoying all the littler things in life as well as knowing how to have fun without worrying about who may see them!! Kudos to Hunter!

I truly think so too! He's grown up going to Disney and enjoys it as much as the rest of us do. He's such a gentle soul and loves everything and everybody.

We went to Pecos this summer for the first time. Of course, the boys had the burgers! Enjoyed it. The CMs were really policing the eating area when we were there, too.

I think that a bunch of folks go into Pecos Bill's thinking they'll sit in the air conditioner for a while and then head back out. The CMs have to police it during busy times so that the guests who are eating there have someplace to sit.

Your pictures of Little Mermaid looks great. I can't wait to see the new Fantasyland!
We tried Pecos Bill last trip and weren't thrilled with it. Granted we went at the start of evening EMH. Your pics and all the positive reviews it might make the list to retry next year.

I'm anxious to get back to Disney and see the changes to the New Fantasyland!

Aww, I hate that you didn't like Pecos Bill's. We've always enjoyed it.

Great updates! I love the pictures of Hunter posing as Gaston and with the sword and shield. Hilarious! MMmm Pecos Bills looks so delicious. I'm hungry now. Yeah, I never loved that cattle feeling you get in the haunted mansion queue. The one at DL is not quite as bad. Still love the ride though! Great pictures on Big Thunder. -Amanda

Hunter is a hoot! He adds a big ray of sunshine to our days.

I'm hungry for a burger and squirty cheese right now!

OK, I have never met him but I love Hunter. What a great kid, umm teenager. I love how he is not "too cool" to have fun with his family even at Disney World.

Thank you! I'm blessed that both of my children are funny and silly and love to be with our family.

I was with my daughter Megan and grandson's yesterday and we were talking Disney (of course) and Cody mentioned Peco Bills. I told him about your tray of fixings! They got a kick out of it. We are down to 74 days.

I could make a meal off just the fixin's there! Your trip will be here before you know it!

This update has really made me want to try Pecos Bills on our January trip. It's one of the only MK quick services I have not done yet.
The pic of Hunter posing in front of Gaston's Fountain is hilarious!

I'd definitely say to give Pecos Bill's a try. We have to eat there at least once every trip.

Great shots on HM with no flash!! All of your pictures were fun! And the slot machine utensils...hilarious!!

Usually, the Haunted Mansion pictures are horrible! The only reason these came out is because we were stuck.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Where are you Lisa. It has been forever since we had an installment�� I hope everything is okay with all of you

I'm here! Sorry! It's still busy at work and at home. I should have at least one update posted this afternoon. Photobucket is a pain in my rear end.

Lisa, I hope everyone is doing OK. We are still praying for your family!

Thanks Jen! It's just been a busy time.

What! It hasn't been that long. She just started this report in June, it's only September. We have a good 6 months or so to go.

You know me well, my friend! It takes me forever to write my reports. Of course, if I didn't post so many details, then I'd be done in no time.

He's going to make a great husband and father one day, I can already tell. Shoot, if he lived closer I might be tempted to introduce him to some young ladies, lol.

Awww, that's so very sweet of you to say! One of Hunter's friend's mother contacted me the other day just to let me know how kind and funny Hunter was when he went to her son's birthday party. She said that he was so entertaining and they'd love to have him come back over anytime. I was proud!

 

[mickeystoontown]

Morning (okay, so just barely but still morning where I am) ! I've spent the last couple of days catching up on my subscribed threads and answering questions over on the CBR thread. I still have at least two (Dee and Jen, I'm talking about your reports) to catch up on. There may be others.

I've been looking through my pictures on Photobucket and rotating them around. Have I mentioned how much I despise the new Photobucket? It's such a pain now. But, I think that I have enough done that I can write up another installment during my lunch hour and get it posted this afternoon.

Ya'll hang in there! I promise that I'm coming back!
