2006 Summer Sanitarium Tour

[sorul82?]

I think they all got off the monorail? Where they stuck in the elevator? Maybe they had all had it with me? Nah….I turned around and saw the most horrific scene……..

 

[TwinkieMama]

I was going on 9 hours of no Diet Mt. Dew.

Girl, Now I know you are a Carolina girl for sure.
How do you feel about Cheerwine?
Sundrop? (that is a coastal thing)


I am not actually from the South so I like diet Coke. T-diddy, aka Southern Belle Boy, does the Dew.

It is SOOOOO funny that you mentioned Sundrop!!! I rarely go into a gas station, but Felony and I went into a very country store the other day after cheerleading practice. I saw a whole cooler full of Sundrop and I just busted out laughing! Why was I laughing so hard? Only DEEP in Johnston Co would you find so much Sundrop! Then I started to wonder if Sundrop and Jim Beam was just an Eastern NC thing? I haven't had a Sun Beam in a long long time.

 

[TwinkieMama]

My college roomie, who was from Pender County, said that Sundrop was the appropriate chaser for anything and everything.

I am just repeatin' what I have been told.

I love the title of this thread! I just thought I would say that!

We were watching the Movie "The Longest Yard" the 2005 Version with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock last night when in the previews there was an Ad for "Beavis and Butthead the Mike Judge Collection" when right there at the end of the ad Sorul82? pipes up with "I love Beavis and Butthead. It reminds me of watching Family Videos." I almost fell off the couch upon hearing this. Anyway I figured this tidbit was too juicy not to share with you all...

DON'T PANIC

DON'T PANIC

She SAID that... outloud?
and you REPEATED it??? in public????

 

[sorul82?]

Yes, I think several, as in most, of the episodes are like watching some of my out-laws in their everyday lives!

 

[sorul82?]

Here I was abandoned in the basement of the Poly. I turned around to find a CM walking backwards with the most horrified look on her face. In between heads, I notice that she is wearing pins. Yep, this is the first incident of group CM stalking! They are all loud and pointing and giddy. All right people, move it! We need to get back upstairs.

We get back upstairs, check in, and I inform the greeter that we need a cake. BIL decides to take a smoke break because he doesn’t know we will be seated immediately. Sirius parks the scooter. BIL returns, but not Sirius. Some food arrives, drink orders are taken, but no Sirius. More food comes, hula lessons start, and finally here comes Sirius. Inside, I am all in a tissie, but trying to remain calm, I ask Sirius where in the heck had he been? He said he was looking for Brain to tell him that we had been seated. Ok, now I have had it! I don’t know if the following was whispered into Sirius’ ear, or if we had this discussion later, or if we had the discussion in my head. I am somewhat reserved, I tend to keep things in and stew, and I don’t show my tail in public. I am from the south afterall, and I know better than to act ugly in public! Anyhow, in some form, I told Sirius that I don’t care if BIL smokes just as long as it does not interfere with my fun. He is an adult, and doesn’t need someone to call him to dinner. If HE misses something because he is off smoking then that is his problem, not mine. I should not have my family time ruined because you are off looking for your brother, who was back here a long time ago spending time with his children while our children were without their father! Why oh why did I not book the Luau with unlimited beer for $50.99? Because it was all booked up, that’s why!

In all honesty and fairness, this was one of the best meals of our trip. Everyone thanked me saying that O’Hana was a good choice. Despite the fact that it took some time to get drinks, service was a bit slow especially when we were ready to go, and the $12.50 cake tasted better frozen than it did after it thawed, everything else was good. The banana dessert was good…Disney seems to do well with banana desserts. I didn’t know that BIL loved banana desserts so much, and he always ordered some sort of banana dessert and they always looked sooooo good! How many more times can I say banana desserts? Again, O’Hana turned out to be rather enjoyable and we even got to see the MK fireworks.

Next up, back to Epcot.

 

[AdventureGuru]

Bf is the same way with his cigs...it seems like he has to have one after every major ride...
however, he at least pays attention to what I tell him to do...

 

[TwinkieMama]

I don’t show my tail in public.

ok I am going to quit posting now since I am here more than you

 

[PureTcrazy]

I am sitting here watching the show about 9/11 which was devastating, but reading this trip report at the same time and having a hard time keeping a straight face. Can't wait for more!

 

[sorul82?]

As you can imagine, we entertained on-lookers with wheelchair Olympics as we attempted to return to Epcot for EMH. Sirius received a perfect 10 in technical difficulty and an honorable mention for his performance in the long program! BIL was disqualified for exceeding the time limit (he stopped to smoke) and failure to include all required elements (taking his child to the bathroom). Sirius wants to know why his performance is being compared to ice skating. Hey, at least it’s not rhythmic gymnastics!! By the time we were back inside Epcot, we only had time to do one thing. We headed over to The Land to ride Soarin’. The line was still rather long. I think we had about a 30 minute wait. Enough time for us to discuss the next day, tick off MIL, and witness a DIS unapproved activity. I was somewhat entertained by a family in front of us. It was the typical family where the youngest is the meanest and gets away with murder while the older kids get blamed. The little one kept pulling on the chain which kept coming undone because it was one of the magnetic kind. Of course, one of the older kids kept picking it up to put it back but got the blame. The more it happened, the harder he pulled, and the further back it swung. I would never wish for a child to be harmed, but I really was wishing that this chain would swing back hard enough to pop this little brat in the face! (Hey Whiner, come stand up here.) But, no, it would be my child who would get hurt so I said a little loud, “Felony, please back up before you get hit with that chain.” By this time, the siblings had moved, so the parents could see that their innocent little angel was the culprit, yet was there any discipline? No, they just moved him, which no led to a tantrum, again, no discipline. I decided that I could better use this time to discuss the next day’s agenda. MIL said that Whiner wanted to ride Living with the Land because he likes boat rides. No problem, we will be back here in the AM and we will come here first, get a FP for Soarin’ and then go ride LWTL. MIL wants to know why we can’t go to MGM to do Millionaire. Because, I exclaim, we have an ADR at Arkershus tomorrow and it had to be guaranteed with a credit card. Since we are within the 24 hour window, I can’t cancel it. Plus, we won’t be able to get anything else for this large group of 11 (which she cannot comprehend). Furthermore, LWTL will be closed later in our trip, so which is more important? LWTL or Millionaire? This was not what MIL wanted to hear, plus she was angry with me because I sent Whiner to stand with his father. She thought I was trying to separate him from the other kids. No, he and Mr Clean were fighting, so I was putting a temporary stop to the 6 year old alpha male fighting. Denise wasn’t involved with any conflicts so she was fine. So, the line begins to move, and then it happened……

 

[luvmyboys]

As you can imagine, we entertained on-lookers

Ohhkaaay... I know it's late & I should knock off the DISing when I read this as "As you can imagine, we entertained hookers." Eyes are a little fuzzy right now!
Yeah... Time for bed!

So, the line begins to move, and then it happened……

What happened?!? What happened?!?

Did someone lose an eye from the brat playing with the chain? Did Whiner pee his pants in the line for Soarin'? Did you snap, desert your family & haul tushy for the margaritas?

 

[AdventureGuru]

oh the suspense!!!

 

[Mumbler]

WHAT?!?!? What happened??????

I can't stand not knowing!!!

S'late, you are undoubtly the master of suspense...TwinkieMama has taught her padawan well!!

 

[sorul82?]

As we were moving forward, MIL tried to run over me! I could see the mad glare in her eyes and when our eyes met, she knew she was so busted. My look to her was: I’ll just file this tid bit of info away for later.

Finally, it was our turn for Soarin and we got the entire center top row. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed this ride. Grandpa looked like a little kid on Christmas morning. And BIL nearly jumped out of his seat when….I won’t ruin the ride for those who haven’t experienced it! Soarin was a real crowd pleaser and energized us enough to drag our carcasses back to the Pop bus stop. All the way at the end of the bus depot. At the far far end of the depot. Did I mention how far it was? We were all pretty wiped out, so there was no drama on the bus ride back to Pop. But don't worry, the next day had it's share!

As we were moving forward, MIL tried to run over me!

I saw someone else try that maneuver on her husband this weekend. She was chasing him around Adventureland and he was screaming at her to stop!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Gosh S'late I would run over you too. I mean you are being totally selfish what with your desire to eat vension and fish in NorVAY instead of Fried Chicken at MGM. And constantly separating poor Whiner from the rest of the kiddies. And not understanding that Brain NEEDS to smoke and can't be overwelmed with taking care of his children right now. My goodness girl! Your poor MIL only wanted one teensy little thing and you are being unreasonable by not rearranging all your plans for the WHOLE family and taking a financial hit just for a passing whim. Sheesh!

OMG! I can only imagine how funny that was! If Grandma had control of her chair, she would have definitely taken out Grandpa!
