A long weekend with the Mouse, Finally the finale 11/25

[LurrrvtheDuck]

You see why I get lost easily Mo?

about POFQ, so glad I couldn't get in there when I wanted to go in April.

OMG the DDE!! I completely forgot about this! So question: does that have to be purchased when you buy the AP or can you buy it at any time?

Darn sweaty guy and loud lady.

What? There's a Cowboy on TGMR? I always get the Gangster too.

You can get the DDE card anytime, matter of fact my AP at the time was expiring in September and I ordered it in August, they didn't say a word about only a month left on my current AP. Another thing to keep in mind is one DDE card is good for a table of up to 10, including booze. I will easily cover the $65 fee with 3 trips.

I have yet to see the cowboy myself but our own Princess V says he is real!

Sorry but all I can do after the Soarin installment is

 

[Disneyolic]

Phew! I finally made it over and read it all in one big sweep! Excellento, as I predicted. I have got to ride me some Sheikra someday. Yeah, someday. But first there's back to California and Disneyland and when we get back down to Florida, it's Disney World. So, someday. We ate at the Colony House way back in 1997, back in the day without kiddos. Stayed in Redington Shores in my uncle's condo. Sweet.

So, anywho, back to Disney. Loved everything but that stupid woman in Soarin'! I would have slammed her arm out of my way! Seriously. And you call yourself a Jersey Girl?

I'm subscribing to your trippie since I'm from NJ like you and we love Pugs too. We own 2 Shih Tzu's right now but our next dog is a pug for sure. One of our dogs got very sick when we were away but she is almost 14 so I'm not surprised. She doesn't like her routine changed. Do you breed pugs? Also we are from NJ too and my DH is the BIGGEST Jets fan. I'm about Soarin! At least she got the hint . Love what you wrote so far. After reading about your first time in a Moderate resort, I'm too scared to not stay Deluxe. We have also only stayed deluxe more out of fear of the unknown if KWIM. We don't like the buses much either. Just starting my trip report today and needed a break. Feel free to check it out.

Hey there!!!!!! I am huge Jets fan too, one of the pugs is named Namath. I got season tix too. Is your DH as disgusted as I am this year

You know one other thing I didn't mention that I missed about a deluxe, is no balcony, I like to eat breakfast out on it.

I will make my way over to yours shortly.

I have to admit I can laugh now, but at the moment her arm was under my nose, not so much!

If I had done what I really wanted to do, I would have ended up in Mickey's jail, not exactly the way to spend vacay

Glad you found your way over and absolutely put Sheikra on your to do list, it was a great coaster

After my little run in with the southern belle it is time for the Behind the Seeds tour. It was a spur of the moment decision and with an AP discount was less than $12. Overall, I was bored , the guide was an intern who wasn’t very knowledgeable and the less he knew the more he talked and talked and talked. Gee what is it with the talkers today? The tour is supposed to be at most an hour and half. At the hour and half mark we were down by the tilapia (one of the tanks that the Living with the Land boat goes by) and he was still talking and talking and talking. I was standing in the back and could feel the head bob coming, so I turned around and quietly left. I saw myself out through the greenhouse, waving (you know that beauty queen wave) to the passing boats. So if anyone was on Living with the Land around 1pm on 10/6 and saw a chubby blonde with a lime green shirt and Focker Lanyard, waving to them from the greenhouse, hi that was me! I did take one wrong turn getting out of there but quickly found my way out (it is the doors behind the Soarin’ FP machines).

At this point it was after 1 pm and I was starving!!! I headed over to WS and intended to try some F&W offerings. Every line was so long and in the sun with absolutely no shade, I just couldn’t, the heat and humidity were so bad. I went over to Mexico, got some nachos and found a table and umbrella. I asked the CM for no jalopenas, I was assured they were in a cup on the side. Nope, they were on the nachos and I had to pick them off .

As I was standing in line I realized I hadn’t checked in with the pugs since Thursday and I knew Mom would be wondering if I got to WDW OK. As I ate, I chatted with Mom who proceeded to tell me about the bag of coffee she left on the dining room table for my brother. She left the room for “only a moment” and when she returned the coffee was all over the floor and Rocky was eating it. Um, Mom, Rocky is maybe 2 feet at most when he stands on his hind legs, how did he get it off the table? Sure you didn’t leave it on the chair? Mom -No I am sure I left it on the table. Okay then, guess I have super dog living with me and never knew. HMM, maybe I can make money off of him so I can take more Disney trips… Luckily he didn’t get much and because she is so frickin' cheap, she packed it back up and still gave it to my brother the next day. LOL !!!!! SHHH , I am sure I can trust all of you not to tell him.

I had to start watching the time as I had made a reservation for the 3pm Stephen Twinings Tea Seminar over at BC. I absolutely love tea, I drink at least 6 cups a day. I wandered through WS making my way towards International Gateway. I stopped at Germany to get me some dessert, love that German chocolate. While in Germany I stopped in the toy store and saw the cutest stuffed pug in the display case about the size of my fist. I asked how much it was… $80.00. Oh, is that all. I noticed another pug on the back counter and ask to see it, that one was over $200.00! Um, let me think about that and I’ll come back… NOT! Heck, I got the real thing at home, right?

During my travels through WS I spotted these beauties, now don’t they look like some comfortable walking shoes

Oh and then this lovely ensemble in Morocco, what was she thinking, it was like a bazillion degrees out! (and her friend had jeans on )

(Hey PrincessV and Boysmom5150, does this remind you of those neon green and black tights from MGM last spring?)

Next up – Floating saunas and is that you Lurch?

 

[scottny]

I do not think i could do any tours, too boring. Great update. Those shoes really are not made for walking but hey you never know.

 

[cmp1111]

Good for resisting the stuffed pugs. Because, you're not shopping this trip, right?

It's too bad that the tour was so boring and that the lines were so long.

Mum's the word on the coffee for your brother!

Nice people-watching pictures! T will be so proud!

Lurch, eh?

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

**sniff, sniff**
That shoe pic made Mama proud, Mo!



Seriously, what was she thinking????

 

[puggymom]

Actually every other tour I have taken has been excellent (KTTK, Backstage Magic, even one at DL in 2005), unforutnately the tour guide can make or break it and this tour guide definately broke it.

Good for resisting the stuffed pugs. Because, you're not shopping this trip, right?

Right, I am not shopping

Nice people-watching pictures! T will be so proud!

She is my inspiration

**sniff, sniff**
That shoe pic made Mama proud, Mo!



Seriously, what was she thinking????

YEAH T is proud of me, see how you have inspired me!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

That is a bummer that the tour was such a dud, at least it was cheap and you were able to sneak out!

Love the WNTW pictures. Those shoes were really cute though...

 

[DisneyJo]

I'm so glad you reviewd the tour as I was thinking of doing that one, my kids would have hated me Can't believe you crept out though tsk tsk

OMG your mum still gave your brother the coffee

WTH do people think they're going to do all day around Epcot other than walk? And jeans in that heat

 

[PrincessV]

WDW really needs to do a better job keeping these resorts up, just my 2 cents here.

Here, here. Or hear, hear. I can never remember which is right.

It is good for 20% off food and beverages (Lapus included ladies )

Yeppers! Though I still try not to look when I sign for those babies.

Boy this lady can talk and talk and talk. After getting our flight instructions we are shown to our seats and buckle up and the southern belle is still talking and talking and talking. The ride starts and she is still talking, Oh look that ‘s San Francisco, when we were there we walked all over and went to Fisherman’s wharf yadda yadda yadda.

Could she talk the leg off of a table? (One of my former SC co-workers used that term a lot about others who talked too much... whcih was really funny, 'cause SHE could talk the leg off a table!)

But I am not DLMama, I am a born and bred Jersey girl. I grew up with the FBI parked on our street, because of who my next door neighbor was, KWIM. I shot her such a look, Tony Soprano would have been proud.

No, T would have given her the "I'm about to go ghetto on you" look, then snapped a pic of her hot-pink-with-yellow-polks-dots scrunchie.

Next up – Security! There is a Focker in the greenhouse.

That's just plain fun to say!

So if anyone was on Living with the Land around 1pm on 10/6 and saw a chubby blonde with a lime green shirt and Focker Lanyard, waving to them from the greenhouse, hi that was me!

I SO wish I'd have been there to see you!

Luckily he didn’t get much and because she is so frickin' cheap, she packed it back up and still gave it to my brother the next day. LOL !!!!!

No she didn't??!!

I had to start watching the time as I had made a reservation for the 3pm Stephen Twinings Tea Seminar over at BC.

ACK! I can't wait to hear about this! That was one I really wanted to try.

(Hey PrincessV and Boysmom5150, does this remind you of those neon green and black tights from MGM last spring?)

That's exactly what I was thinking!

 

[TheDISneyFamily]

Hey, I know you! Great stuff so far... but you haven't gotten to the good part yet - ME!

I can't wait to hear about your Twinings Tea thingie!

Have a great week, Mo!
-Michelle

 

[kaysmommie]

Sorry the tour was boring, love the shoe picture . your dog ate coffee bean , my dog ate 4 plates of dog food( other dogs food) and had some snacks with my mom and then ate a few too many dog treats and landed herself in the dog emergency room while we were at Disney. Waiting for more .

 

[puggymom]

That is a bummer that the tour was such a dud, at least it was cheap and you were able to sneak out!

It was something I had been curious about, but wouldn't do again

I'm so glad you reviewd the tour as I was thinking of doing that one, my kids would have hated me Can't believe you crept out though tsk tsk

Jo, if you take your girls on this I will report you for child abuse!

OMG your mum still gave your brother the coffee

Yes she did , she has wood floors and easily scooped it up

WTH do people think they're going to do all day around Epcot other than walk? And jeans in that heat

I don't get it either

No, T would have given her the "I'm about to go ghetto on you" look, then snapped a pic of her hot-pink-with-yellow-polks-dots scrunchie.

That's just plain fun to say!

I SO wish I'd have been there to see you!

I wouldn't have waved to you, I would have given you the Focker

No she didn't??!!

Yes she did, I was doubled over in Mexico when she told me she packed it back up to give to him. She swore me to secrecy

Hey, I know you! Great stuff so far... but you haven't gotten to the good part yet - ME!

I can't wait to hear about your Twinings Tea thingie!

Have a great week, Mo!
-Michelle

Hi Michelle, yes I have yet to get to the really good part

Sorry the tour was boring, love the shoe picture . your dog ate coffee bean , my dog ate 4 plates of dog food( other dogs food) and had some snacks with my mom and then ate a few too many dog treats and landed herself in the dog emergency room while we were at Disney. Waiting for more .

At first I was a little freaked out as I know coffee is not good for dogs but she insisted he only got a little bit and when she told me that she packed it back up, I totally forgot about being worried as I was too busy laughing.

 

[boysmom5150]

OMG Mo, I am so glad your doing a TR for this trip.
I am once again LATE to the party, so let me go and catch up.....Ill be back

 

[boysmom5150]

I guess he has a thing for chubby blondes.

I have seen you in "real life" and can attest to everyone she is NOT chubby

No delays, we took off on time and landed early at MCO!!!!

Thats amazing considering your departed EWR

When you get to the top they stop you for a few seconds and let you stare straight down while contemplating your fate. OH yeah, good times!

What the heck are you thinking up there . I might pass out just looking at this!!

From there I found my way to Kumba another great coaster ride, that was also a walk on.

the last one wasnt enough!!

I decided to try another coaster, Montu. After about a 3 minute wait I was off , but then it happened….

you are CRAZY!!can you tell Im not a coaster girl. BTMRR is my speed

Next up, Um, I think I need a clean shirt…

Oooh that doesnt sound so good, does it have to do with all those coasters

I get up and take a shower and that is when I notice the mold on the shower curtain!!!! Now I am grossed out!! I also noticed that the tile around the bathroom area could use a visit from Stanley Steamer.

I had to leave after 1 1/2 days in July, it was unbearable with kids. What is wrong with Disney??

I am glad I took DLMama’s suggestion to bring some Clorox wipes if you KWIM.

never leave home without them!!

This kind of stuff just irks the heck out of me, how much of a difference will it make?

me too

I shot her such a look, Tony Soprano would have been proud. I wish I could make her fade to black like the final Soprano episode. I gave her the dirtiest, most glaring look I could. I was MAD!

you make me so proud Mo, GO JERSEY GIRL!!

Luckily he didn’t get much and because she is so frickin' cheap, she packed it back up and still gave it to my brother the next day. LOL !!!!! SHHH , I am sure I can trust all of you not to tell him.

OMG that is sooooo funny, I just laughed so loud and woke DS2. Uh oh!!

(Hey PrincessV and Boysmom5150, does this remind you of those neon green and black tights from MGM last spring?)

It does!!!maybe it was the same girl from May??Alot of crazies this time dont ya think???


OK so all caught up and ready to go. Great job Mo cant wait for more.
