A Croc For All Seasons - It's done! Epilogue, p. 52

[Disneyland_Mama]

You really are Tracy right?

No, she's V. I'm Tracy

Jo...are you really Jo?

Lauralee... Laura?

I know who I am... I think

Are you sure, cause now I'm getting confused.

I often try to figure out what the "V" stands for. My littlest son is often referred to as "B" instead of his whole name. Then for some reason he gets a big long nickname thrown onto the end. I think it would be easier just to call him by his name. But what's the fun in that???

I got it right on, as I had a co-worker who preferred to be called "V" than her given name, which started with a V. Comprende?

My family calls Evan "Big E Smalls" or "Big E Big" or "Evanescense" I don't know why????

 

[DisneyJo]

Ellie is actually Eleanor but we call her Elles, Belles, Ellie belly and if other DD doesn't like her she calls her smelly, strangely she doesn't like that one

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Oooo, so glad you started this report! Reading and enjoying already!!!

 

[puggymom]

The pics so far are from my Canon Digital Rebel XT, with a Sigma 17-70mm lens. LOVE my camera!

You have to see this camera. There we were chatting at the Focker meet and her momwhips out THE CAMERA to take our pic. It looks like those cameras that paparazzi use. I think I know how V is paying for that DVC contract now.

HEY, I jsut realized they skipped my slaw. That's so funny - I think we were there about 11:45/12pm, AND we were sitting upstairs, looking out at the HM! Were you there??

No they didn't skip your slaw, I order it as an extra. It's good. I think I was there closer to 12:30 that day. That is so funny we probably just missed each other.

 

[dwaddict]

Glad your back V and your hair does look great!!
Your lil guy just seems to get cuter!!

I have to say I am so jealous that I don't live closer to the world
I would love to only travel a couple of hours!!
Can't wait to read more!!

 

[meeskamouska]

WOW!!! Your first day seems to be going just swimmingly....where is the drama??? Can't wait to see what happens next!!!

 

[disney_fan_fam]

Ooooohh I'm loving your TR!!!

Waiting for more.....

Aloha

 

[TEminnie]

BTW, my real name isn't Tracy.

Say what??

As always...I'm LOST! Who is who?

You really are Tracy right?

Which one?

Jo...are you really Jo?

or CQ??!

Lauralee... Laura?
She's LL, LL131

I know who I am... I think

(enjoying the TR, V!)

Ellie is actually Eleanor but we call her Elles, Belles, Ellie belly and if other DD doesn't like her she calls her smelly, strangely she doesn't like that one

I love that name Ellie.

We used to always eat at Columbia Harbor House. Then we started eating at Pinnochio's Village Haus. This last trip we went back to CHH and I had this great sandwhich. I think it was turkey and it had brocolli slaw on it. It was yummy! And large enough to share. I'll have to try the tuna salad.

 

[PaMom001]

Subscribing. Holy cow!! This thread started yestserday and there's already 5 pages.

 

[cmp1111]

I hadn't planned on CHH, but DH loves him some tuna. Hmmm...

V, not wanting to get ahead, but how did Leo do in the Crocs? I just had to order some from the website (no Croc store, and none of the "authorized sellers" here had the right size/color of the Mickey ones.) Both my boys tried them on and say they like them, but I'm nervous about trying this out so soon at the World... Thanks!

 

[Illuminations_Rocks]

yay the TR!!

Looking forward to the rest!

And I'm soooo confused on all your names now, haha, but I'll just go with the flow...

I found it and it only took me 5 pages!!Im still trying to catch up on so much. This however is one of my priorities!!!

Before I get started on this report, I should warn you: it’s not all pixie dust and magic. There’s some not-so-nice stuff, too.

I live for this stuff.Sorry for you, but I love drama.

And this, my friends, is why I make spread sheets and touring plans. Seriously – when I pass under those mythical Disney gates, I lose all ability to think clearly. And. I forget all the preparing and training I’ve done in advance of the trip. If it weren’t for the written plans, I’d be certain of doing something foolish.

Thats me, its like my brain melts in the heat or something, all of a sudden I become an airhead!

So we quickly found the AKL bus stop and the very next bus took us to that most Magical place, the Magic (duh!) Kingdom!

In case it wasn’t confusing enough when a fellow DISer called him by his fictitious name – Leo – now I was calling him Stan. Heh, heh – that’s just the kind of fun I like sometimes. But I’m getting ahead of myself…

The things we do to our kids,Im pretty sure it doesnt scar them for long.

“Look Mommy!” BAM “I driving!” BAM “I do it…” BAM “…all by myself!” BAM BAM BAM

DOnt ya just love it. The things we endure for our kids
I got only a mild case of whiplash.

A nice man asked if I DIS and pointed to his wife’s LGMH! There we were, standing not 3 feet apart and never noticed each other’s LGMH’s. We all talked a bit and I really tried to remember her DIS name, but my memory’s not what it once was and now I’ve got nothing more than a C and Disney-something. Nice DIS lady from the TSI raft, if you see this, Hi!!!

Get out of here, I never saw anyone. Good for you.

Until he jumped up and down and excitedly exclaimed “Mommy, mommy! Look – I shooting the people on the boat!!”

It must be a boy thing

After that, it was on to lunch at my favorite MK eatery, Columbia Harbor House – home to the World’s Best Tuna Sandwich. And I mean “World” in the all-encompassing sense, not just the World that Walt built. TFI. I don’t know what the heck they put in that tuna, but YUUU UUUM!!

I wish I could join in the fun, but dont laugh I have never had tuna fish. I have a seafood allergy, and DS1 and 4 are allergic to basically everything shellfish/fish included so that place is a big no no for us.


Cant wait to hear about the waterparks.

 

[Lauralee131]

EDGY? Did you just say I'm EDGY??? That's what I've been striving for - thank you!

It's the hair baby!! That suit is YOU!!! Work it! Own it!!!

 

[Mom 2 Two]

I love your trip reports. I am a long-time lurker and decided it was time to chime in. Can't wait for more!!

 

[PrincessV]

Oooo, so glad you started this report! Reading and enjoying already!!!

Thank you!

You have to see this camera. There we were chatting at the Focker meet and her momwhips out THE CAMERA to take our pic. It looks like those cameras that paparazzi use. I think I know how V is paying for that DVC contract now.

OMG< I never thought of that - I could be the Official Focker Photographer!
Honest, the Rebel body isn't very big, but my lens is admittedly huge.

Glad your back V and your hair does look great!!
Your lil guy just seems to get cuter!!

I have to say I am so jealous that I don't live closer to the world
I would love to only travel a couple of hours!!
Can't wait to read more!!

Aww, thanks! It is nice to be so close.

WOW!!! Your first day seems to be going just swimmingly....where is the drama??? Can't wait to see what happens next!!!

Oh, never fear, we're just getting started

Ooooohh I'm loving your TR!!!

Waiting for more.....

Aloha

Thanks! More coming, I promise

Hiya PaMom!! I know -we've gotten pretty chatty over here.

V, not wanting to get ahead, but how did Leo do in the Crocs? I just had to order some from the website (no Croc store, and none of the "authorized sellers" here had the right size/color of the Mickey ones.) Both my boys tried them on and say they like them, but I'm nervous about trying this out so soon at the World... Thanks!

No problem! Leo's actually been wearing his Crocs to WDW since Spet. last year - he LOVES them! He chose to wear sandals instead that first day and complained about his feet hurting. Switched to Crocs for the rest of the week and no more problems

yay the TR!!

Looking forward to the rest!

And I'm soooo confused on all your names now, haha, but I'll just go with the flow...

Thanks! And I really am V. Leo isn't really Leo, but he is for the DIS. Gramma really is Gramma. I don't know who any of the rest of these people are.

i'm in. i want more edge.

kate

Oh, there's some edge comin, I tell ya!

The things we do to our kids,Im pretty sure it doesnt scar them for long.

A friend of mine since childhood and I often joke when we're feeling less than perfect as parents that it doesn't really matter what we do - our kids will wind up on therapy blaming us fro everything anyway! [/QUOTE]

It's the hair baby!! That suit is YOU!!! Work it! Own it!!!

Pssst... wanna know a secret?? We have a reeeeally long hallway behind our office that few people use. Sometimes, when I'm feeling especially thin and the shoes are kickin', I practice my runway walk back there on my way to the ladies' room. Don't tell, though!

I can actually attest to that - we met at a bar and she whipped that thing out...it is huge...



It does take some really good pictures though!
