A Mouse, Two Little Minnows who wear out Grumpy and Test Track Moves to Naples 11/26

[KatMark]

I love your costume!!! I think I would wear that in my normal life!!

I love breakfast in CP. How cute that you were bouncing with Tigger The CP Tigger has been quite interactive with my two nieces....hard to say if he was the same one both times but he was VERY flirty with both of them on tow different occasions.

What a cool interaction with Push!! And how cool that he told everyone about your anniversary....even Stitch!! Always fun too take a relaxing ride on the TTA.

Tracy

I dont' know what it is about CP, but I just get in this really silly mood and all of a sudden I found myself bouncing.

Love the TTA.

How many more days for you?

We didn't take a Jungle Cruise this year and now I wish we had. I haven't seen the Tiki birds in YEARS so I'm adding that to my list next year too!

I love your tradition to honor your dad. I think it's awesome.

I'm going to try my best to get into Tony's next year. I tried this year with no luck so I hope to get in next year.

We didn't do Jungle Cruise last year so we had to be sure to do it this year. We do the Tiki birds every year.

I love the powerline mickey, leave it to Disney to do something like that!

I love that powerline...I take a pic every year. I know, call me weird.

Wow... what a great update!

PUSH looks so cool, I have never seen him either. Maybe next time.

Chip and Dale look much cuter without the green vests and hats.

The Plaza looks really yummy. I'll have to add that to the list of possible adrs.

It was neat to see PUSH in action. We've had pictures taken with Chip and Dale in all kinds of attire over the years. The Plaza is VERY yummy--especially the desserts.

Dont know which pic I like better, you kissing in front of the castle or you head to head at the Plaza!

And I love that you honor your dad that way, you are a wonderful daughter

I would love to drive to the Plaza right now for fries and a club sandwich!

The pictures of WDW, especially MK, is making me miss my annual Oct trip but in just 26 more days my butt will be there and all will be right with the world (well MY world anyways!)

Cant wait to read all about the Marco trip Like I dont know what you did haha!

I like the Plaza one better myself.

Thank you. I know it brings a smile to my dad's face.

Can I go with you to The Plaza for fries and a club sandwich?

25 days now...it will be here before you know it (I have to remember to email you a photo of the calendar and the magnet I want you to look for).

Gee, Marco was so boring...don't know how I'll stretch that out.

cute costume!

I would really like to do the breakfast at CP, I may have to consider it for our next trip.

Cute encounter with Push! Love the feet shoot on the Peoplemover.

We really enjoyed our lunch at the Plaza. It was a bit slow when we went too but the food is so yummy. I thought the balloon picture looked like mine and then I saw that you borrowed it. Glad to help out!! I love the tradition, such a sweet way to honor your day.

You really should try CP...Lily would enjoy it (they do a cute little parade with the kids).

I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your pic. I was SO mad that I forgot to take a picture of the balloons AGAIN this year. Thank you for the kind words about my tradition.

A wonderful update, and I love you buy a balloon and give it to a child in memory of your dad...its sweet and brings a smile to a young child...
Is the Chip and Dale meet and greet at Tomorrow land new? Do you think they will be there on December? I know Stitch is there but my son doesn't want to ge near him.

Thank you; my dad loved sharing balloons with the kids and I thought it would make him smile.

We've seen Chip and Dale in Tomorrowland this year and two years ago and we've seen them out on Main Street. I would always recommend checking the time schedule of where characters are because they do sometimes move them.

Mercy Kathy, I can't keep up with you. You have been updating fast and furious the last few days. I can't even remember what I wanted to comment on because I am all teary eyed from the balloon give-away in your Dad's memory.

Thank you, Lisa.

We love Push! Great that you finally got to meet him!

It really was a fun treat to meat PUSH.

Push is hilarious, I first encountered him back in 07 at DL.

I can't believe all the trips that we've not seen him up close and personal.

I love Stitch...In the Movies...the Attraction at the park...not so much.

I think they should move him over to the Tiki Room and get rid of Zazu and Iago...Stitch Makes Awsome Tiki God!!!

See, I don't even like Stitch in the movies. But that would be a plan to move him to the Tiki Room to get rid of Zazu and Iago...good

How many more days for you?

Leaving bright and early on Saturday for an arrival time around 12:30

[SoonerGirl]

I've read about PUSH, but never encountered him either, how fun that you finally got to!

I love Chip & Dale in their Tomorrowland attire, very cute.

You know, they still have the orginial Tiki bird show in DL, you may just have to venture out west so that Mark can see it

I love your tradition with the balloon, warms my heart, I'm sure it makes your dad very happy

 

[that's nice]

Yes, we did win the money...but I meant BIG money so we could move to Florida. I thought since it wasn't working with Mark rubbing the belly, I'd try the armpit.

LOL You might have to change your location Kathy.

You THINK we are up to 33???? You need to be certain.

Certain!

And planning some evil thing for timmy.

Ummmmmmmm You couldn't of left it at t-shirts?

I am scared!

 

[that's nice]

I was wondering when you ran into PUSH. Isn't he the best! I mean it is a talking trash can and he has people talking about him!

Nice foot pic on the TTA!

Talking on the phone on a ride huh? Must of been a very important call.

I love how the MK is decorated for Halloween. Love all those pumpkins!

Your meal at the Plaza looks good. I had my ADR for December but switched to CP so we could have a character meal.

How sweet of you giving the balloon away in honor of your dad.

I know you are heading to see Nicki but I am sad you are leaving Disney...

 

[MickeyNicki]

I know you are heading to see Nicki but I am sad you are leaving Disney...

Wish she was coming to see me now!

PUSH was really fun, Michelle. We've talked about going to California to go to Disneyland but we keep coming back to DW.

Thank you for the nice words about the balloon.

Tim, I never laughed so hard as I did when we saw PUSH and he kept talking to us. It was a riot.

I can understand a phone call for a minute, but this was a guy with five other guys and he spent the ENTIRE ride on his phone.

Yes, you need to do a character meal for Ana. You can always do Plaza next time.

It does my heart good to give away the balloon.

Wish she was coming to see me now!

ME TOO! Then I could give you a BIG BIRTHDAY HUG tomorrow.

 

[dizneeat]

You take a photo with a trash can (yeah, I know it talkes) and no picture with STITCH???????

Sorry, I know you don't like him - I LOVE him to bits!

I love all your new updates. Have you ever tried to ride the Jungle Cruise during EMH? The CM don't stick to their spiel too much and these are the best "cruises" ever. Cracks me up every time, especially as they always seem to pick out Tom for their jokes. Yes, I AM a mean person!

Push is fun isn't he(it?)? We ran into him during the last part of our vacation too!
I love that you take all those character pictures - I guess that is something Tom and I need to work on!
I really love the photo of Mark and Tigger - too funny!

Can't wait for the Marco Island and NICKI updates!

 

[MickeyNicki]

ME TOO! Then I could give you a BIG BIRTHDAY HUG tomorrow.

Sshhhh...dont tell anyone

 

[KatMark]

Booo. Stitch is awesome! They just don't make proper use of him at the park.


I didn't like the movie or the ride or him. So BOOOOO to you too.

Hmm. Next time, get in the car behind him and just shoot him with the laser cannon.

THAT IS A GREAT IDEA!!!

This cruise skipper makes me happy.

Yeah, me too.

That is awesome! What a cool idea! A great way to honor your dad and make a child's day at the same time.

Thanks....I know it is something that would have pleased him.

Captain, your individual responses are all in red.

Can't wait for the Marco Island and NICKI updates!

I know you love Stitch as does Stefy (has anyone heard from her lately???).

No, we've never done JC during EMH--we'll have to give that a try. Push was a hoot. Yes, you should take character pictures as should NICKI!!!!

Mark and Tigger were so much fun together.

Yes, the Marco Island Nicki updates...these will be interesting at times.

Sshhhh...dont tell anyone

Sshhhh....don't tell anyone what? That it is YOUR BIRTHDAY TOMORROW???? At least I didn't post an age. LOVE YOU!

Kathy my luck is surely not the best right now! My computer also died last week (I use dd's when she isn't home thank goodness both kids have laptops) and at this point nothing surprises me anymore! Although I have a friend who was just started chemo for her breast cancer, she has two little girls so really and truly, I am blessed.

I am staying at All Star Music. By switching to that and getting free quick serve (no tips with that one) we will save close to $900 total. It had to be done and I am okay with it, but then again, it bites! When I think about how much time I spent getting my ADR's all set only to cancel them, sheesh it just ices the cake. We may still go to Sci Fi, its our favorite. We'll see. A plague of locusts may get me before I can get to WDW!

If I don't get back before I leave, I'll try to check in while I am gone (leave in 3 days).

Yeah, being grandparents is something I am sure you are willing to wait on!

By the way, did Andy and Nicole get back together?

Amy, your luck has GOT to turn around. Yes, I would like to wait AT LEAST four or five more years.

No, they did not get back together and I don't think they will. I think they will just be friends. She's been dragging her feet and I know he has no patience for it, but I can't blame her after he broke her heart.

How do you make the links to other posts?

 

[longing2Batdisney]

great update Kathy! sounds like you and Mark had a great time in MK!
after your post about Plaza, Lisa's post, and Dana's last year...the Plaza has just made it to the top of the must do list...at this rate I'm going to have to do a 10 day stay just for the food JK!

we met Push in 2001 but in a very odd location I am told
he was just outside Rafaki's Planet Watch in AK...it was so funny...before he started talking to us he was just rolling behind me and my girlfriend I was walking with the kids were rolling...than, when he started talking my girlfriend about lost it! (this was her first visit to Disney at was just amazed at all the magic)...

I love your ending tradition! in honor of your dad...what a wonderful way to celebrate him

Connie

 

[MickeyNicki]

Yes, you should take character pictures as should NICKI!!!!!

Why do I need pics with characters when I am married to one?

Hey Mon! Where is my other ear??

Channeling his inner Princess (Kayla took this one of him)

Okay, I am rolling on the floor literally looking at these pictures of Todd. I so needed a laugh today and you provided the perfect remedy. Give that big guy a kiss for me and tell him he is great to let Kayla take a picture of him looking like that.

And you still should have pictures witih SOME characters, BIRTHDAY GIRL!

 

[KatMark]

Tim, that's nice here on the DIS, explained it to me (let me go back through the pages and see if I can find the page that has the instructions and I'll get back to you.

Connie, we really did have a great last day at the MK. Yes, you MUST go to The Plaza. You will so love it and so will Ashton.

I never new PUSH was at the AK. Your poor friend... But don't you just love what Disney comes up with?

Thank you. I think it is a good way to celebrate our many happy memories with my dad too.

 

[MaryAz]

Goodness, I was so far behind. We were really happy that we got to meet up with you guys again!!
Great end of Disney pics
I love Chip and Dale
I do not love Stitch

Tomorrow is my Hubby's bday.

I will have to show Cayley ur updates. She had a hard time this am missing everyone so it will cheer her up

 

[glennbo123]

Sorry I've been absent on here lately. I've looked in and seen new updates, but haven't had much opportunity to comment.

As you predicted, I did love the hat in Germany. That was a great one!

I definitely need to try the Plaza sometime. I've heard good things about it.

Your balloon story always chokes me up a little.

 

[MEK]

So sorry to see the Disney portion of your trip come to an end. It sounds like you had such a wonderful time and you really did and saw so much.

I love the Crystal Palace and the Plaza, too. Two of my favs!

What - no whipped cream, no cherries????? I love that stuff!

I really think it is so cool that you give away a balloon in honor of your father. That is such a wonderful gesture and I think its a beautiful lesson for the recipient and her parents. Really lovely.

I love Mark's Eeyore hat. Eeyore is my favorite!

Looking forward to San Marco.
