9/24/09 3 Day Wonder - Cruise Meets, and FEs, and Goombays oh my!

[jenny105]

I didn't know about it either until I saw it on this website. This website knows all!

 

[disney honeymooners]

yes the Website Knows all and Sees All
I sent BonnySews an email she right now doesn't have anything for sell on ebay but i sent her one anyway. It is so ugly here but that means that i get to take the 4wheeler out in the mud(i know that is so redneck but it is FUN!!) yesterday was the first time i have ever driven a 4wheeler in the mud or as we call it Muddin' oddly enough i didn't get that dirty but i had fun.
The wind was so strong here yesterday we look like a hurricane hit us alot of people including us have downed trees in their yards luckily none hit the house or any of the cars.

 

[jenny105]

I'm sure between now and the cruise she can make one for ya. She was really easy to deal with. She told me she already sent mine out and I only ordered it two days ago.

My friends from WV used to go muddin all the time! It's a southern thing I guess.

I hope the weather clears up for you soon. It's not very nice out here today but on Friday it's supposed to be in the 70s!

 

[disney honeymooners]

it is most def. a southern thing and i love it!! i didn't think that i would like it but it is fun greg said u are supposed to go muddin in a truck or a jeep but i like using the 4wheeler it is easier for me to controle than his jeep i told him if he wants me to drive a jeep in the mud he is gonna have to get me my own pref the new 4door model. (i am never going back to a 2door vehicle!)
I used my moms ebay account to send her a message and i gave her my email so that if she had any pictures she could send them to me.

 

[jenny105]

I have never had anything but a two door vehicle! I don't particularly love them but it just works out that way. My first car was a Ford Probe, then my sister gave me her Tracker, and now I have a Cavalier. All 2 door!

The one I ordered from her looks cute. I orginally wanted a different one but she had already sold it. I'll forward you my receipt so you can see a picture of it.

 

[disney honeymooners]

i have only had 2 cars a 1994 ford thunderbird(THE TANK!) and now my 2004 Mazda 3 which i love b/c of its gas mileage over 300 miles on one tank. my next vehicle wont be that good b/c i am gonna get either a truck or an suv i have had 2 cars that are low to the ground and i love driving my mom and stepdads suvs and really anyones car that is high off the ground.

 

[jenny105]

My ex had a Ford T-Bird! That was the biggest two door car I've ever seen!

 

[disney honeymooners]

yeah and the doors were SO HEAVY!! it sounded like i was slamming them every time i shut the door. i have gotta get going i have to go to the grocery store i will talk to you later and please send me the pictures if you have them it would help me. Thank you so much for telling me about her.

 

[jenny105]

No problem! I sent you my confirmation that I won the auction. There's a small pic of it on there but I think if you click on it, it will bring up the page and a bigger picture of it. Have a good day!

 

[karentan]

hiya!
just got home from work and walking the dog, but it was worth it, i got my FE in the post!! its small but cute, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=380075637127
it'll be better than our tote bag from last time! jenny, can you send me the pic of yours? i'm being nosey!
i'm waiting to hear back confirmation from the guy i'm renting the points through that everything is ok, cant wait til i get it all booked! i had another person come back to me saying all my resort choices were sold out, i had a look on the net and i think thats because its the first weekend of food and wine festival, and its the expedition everest 5k run, think those things normally get really busy.
i've just seen on wdwmagic.com that theres been tornado warnings in orlando, didnt realise the weather was that bad down there, hope that the weather gets better for you guys, its a bit breezy here today but its been gloriously sunny!
lainey, whats a 4 wheeler? is it a quad bike? sounds like fun though!

btw the electric water parade runs every night, it starts at the poly at 9pm, (shamlessly cut and pasted from wdwinfo.com) :
Electrical Water Pageant
This nightly "parade" was first performed on October 26, 1971 during the dedication of the Polynesian Luau.
While old fashioned by today's standards, it's still fun to head to the resort beachfronts to watch it go by. There are two segments, one is a King Neptune theme, the other a salute to America.
The Electrical Water Pageant usually follows this schedule:
Disney's Polynesian Resort - 9:00pm
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa - 9:15pm
Disney's Wilderness Lodge - 9:35pm
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground - 9:45pm
Disney's Contemporary Resort - 10:05pm
Magic Kingdom park - 10:20pm (only during extended Magic Kingdom Park hours)

Jen she sent me an email and sent me pictures of the ones she had done and i have chosen one i like the one like yours but i didn't want to copy you so i picked another one i will email you the picture of the one that i asked her if she could make for me. I have a friend that has a embroidery store and she is gonna put our names on it i cant decide if i want her to put lainey greg or Mr. McFall and Mrs. McFall.
Karen a 4wheeler isnt a bike but it is also called an All Terrain Vehicle(ATV)
i guess yall do call it a quad bike i think i have heard someone call it that even though it is bigger than a bike. It is alot of fun i love it i am trying to find mine and gregs first picture together (from 2006) it was oddly enough on the same 4wheeler but i wasn't driving
I have been driving them since i was 8 my uncle got one and i use to ride it around my grandmothers backyard haven't had an accident yet(odd since i am so accident prone i guess im only bad when i am walking )

 

[karentan]

it sounds like good fun, its something i'd love to try at some point but i dont know anyone whos got one
i know what you mean by 4 wheeler now, we call them quad bikes over here, dont know why though as they're nothing like bikeds, guess its another one of those faucet/tap things, we have wierd names for stuff, US names seem to make more sense!

 

[disney honeymooners]

i know that in the south people from other states dont understand us when we talk b/c we run words together and we also shorten some words.
well if yall ever come to ga for a visit greg and i will make sure you get the full southern experience (except for the hunting i can't get up that early in the morning for anything other than disney)

 

[karentan]

sounds good! we'll actually be in GA but only for a 4 hour flight stopover. i do want to try and see more of the US though, i've only ever been to the big tourist bits, florida, california, vegas, i'd love to see more of the country. we think we're going to take a break from disney next year (this trip will be the second in 10 months), so i might try and price up a trip to some of the rest of the country.
we can get 3 months without having to have a visa, if i thought i could get 3 months off work i'd jump at it, but i think 3 weeks is the most i can manage!

 

[disney honeymooners]

greg only gets 2 weeks a year with the railroad that goes up to 3 weeks in 2 years i think and then the most you can have off is 1 month.
Well if yall come to ga let me know we will have to get together, we dont live in ATL we live about 30-45 min west of Atl just far enough away to not have to worry about the crime rate and traffic

 

[karentan]

yeah sounds great! i've always wanted to just fly into one side of the US and out the other and just make my way across, but never had the money or the means to do it, dont think i'll ever be able to do it, without quitting my job there's no way i could get that much time off.
we're lucky in the holiday sense though, its one of the few good things about being part of the european union and having someone in another country deciding your rules, we get 4 weeks holiday a year, plus the 8 bank holidays, so we get 28 days paid vacation a year. i'm using 12 days of mine to go to florida, 5 days for spain in july, then the last 3 days over christmas. i get the bank holidays off now too which is nice, thats why we've just had a 4 day weekend.

 

[karentan]

i've just been into the kitchen to go get my dinner, realised i didnt turn the plug on, so its not cooked
oops

 

[jenny105]

Cute Lainey! We have the same style FEs! I like the background on yours. They had one that was like that but with a blue gingham background but when I went to buy, it was sold out. So I got the red one instead.

Karen, I'll forward you the confirmation I got from Ebay. If you click on the pic, it should bring the page up and you can see a bigger view of it. I would link it directly from here but work blocks ebay so I don't know what the direct link is.

You get 28 vacation days?? I only get 2 weeks!

I will be planning on watching the water parade from the shores of WL. I still can't believe I'm staying there!

EDIT: Nevermind! It let me get to the ebay page. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSAA:US:11&Item=260385831043 That's our FE!

 

[jenny105]

Your FE is really cute Karen! I love yellow!

 

[karentan]

no you're not staying there, remember see i did remember!!

your FE looks great, i think i saw that one when i was looking on ebay.com for ours, i ended up ordering one from ebay.co.uk and it came out nice!
