A Ten Day Ride on A Magic Camel - Almost Finished Trip Report

[declansdad]

How did he enjoy his mini-vacation? I know you are all looking forward to another big trip next year!

He had a great time but he hasn't stopped talking since he came home. What happened to the quiet????

Oh wow, cabbage patch kids and my little ponies... that takes me back. I can't even begin to remember what my CPK's names were, but you are right MeMom, they always seemed to have a weird middle name. I think I would always end up changing their names to suit my own preferences.

I really wish I still had all my old toys so that my future children could play with them. I think I might still have a cabbage patch kid or two, but I sold all of my barbies and my little ponies in a garage sale when I was 13. My parents told me I'd regret that one day... at the time I thought they were crazy but they were right!

Hopefully, you will have many trips is the future and can try out many resorts.

I hope you are right!

I have to share my CPK's names now too.

Odetta (and I can't remember the middle name! eek!) was my baldy. I won her from a local restaurant.

Darcy Pearly was my blonde, you could wash her hair!

And I had a red head with yarn hair that my Mom picked up at a garage sale, I named her Amy.

She was so proud of her Disney Store find and couldn't wait to wear it to ride TSMM. What are you doing at the end of next July?

I will keep the end of July in mind for next year.

I missed out on the cabbage patch kids, but I did take my niece to Cleveland, Ga.(the birth place of cabbage patch kids) one weekend to see one delivered. That weekend is one of our fondness memories of her growing up.

Multiply his enthusiasm by 24 and all of you go into one room together for several hours. That's what I'll be facing soon!

I'm sure he had some very fun stories to share.

We had many yard sales when the kids were little. I think Jill was traumatized by a few of them. I have apologized to her more than once.

I hope you are right!

Thanks for sharing. I was telling Jill all the CPK names today. Hopefully, she can get to a computer soon to read all of the nostalgic comments.

I've seen the Cabbage Patch Hospital on TV. I'm sure that was fun.

I just talked to Trent and Kristi today, and they assured me that if we go to WDW at the end of July next year, they will be able to go. I am going to book by mid to late August. Hope to maybe see you and some other Disers there.

Anybody else up for a Magic Camel Dis Meet next summer?

Oh, I loved Babyland General as a child. It was so much fun to see all the cabbage patch babies. They had a guest book to sign as you walked in and we were told that is where they get the names for their babies. Not sure if it is true but I like to think that one baby got my name.

How about POP-ing in the end of July/first of August 2009?

Wouldn't it be nice if you got a little perk from promoting a resort - like for every x number of guests who booked from a referral, you'd get a free night?

That would be an interesting field trip. And if they really do get the names from guests, there must be some really interesting folks who come their way!



Gotta get back to the Math books!

 

[snowbell]

Oh my word!!!

The one I really started belting out is (without waking up Hollie!)

mysterious and spooky, there all together ooky
The Adamms family!!!



Cabbage patch kids, growing in the sun!

My CPK names were: Holly Ann (she was a redheaded twin)
My blond one is: Amanda Nicole

I have been trying to find the Adamms Family and the Munsters barbies on ebay for the past 2 years!! Everytime I bid on them, they end up selling for over $200 bucks a piece!!! I want to add them to my collection (I have over 200) but not that bad!

What -- You have over 200 barbies??? That is insane lol. I had about 10...
i had lots of Cabbage Patch Doll... Let me think If I can remember the names of them

1)Josephine Tiffany
2) Tiffany Josephine (pretty original huh)... she was a premie
3&4) Dan & Eric (my first set of twins
5) Walter - My bad CBK
6) Darryl Strawberry (My mets CBK)
7) Patty - My silk haired CBK
8 & 9 - I had two twin girls, but I don't remember their names.
11) - I got one other premie that I kept in the box but I also don't remember her name

I also had two koosas and three show ponies. I think I was a little spoiled.

As a former math teacher, I know looking at math books was the best part of your first day. Did you find any hidden mickeys?

Hello all! Since MeMom is MeMom you guys don't know she just celebrated her birthday Wednesday! Brooklynn and I met her for lunch yesterday in Nashville to give her her present. She is not a present person at all. She would rather have everyone together for a meal. So all I got her was a card. Her present will arrive sometime in mid-April when Brooklynn officially becomes a big sister!

Happy Birthday, MeMom!

 

[pooksma]

I get to be first to say Happy Birthday MeMom!



and Congratulations to Jill and John and Brooklynn!!

Happy B-day MeMom...and congrats to Jill, John and brooklyn!
No wonder why she has been saying that she wants to go to WDW at the end of July...gives you more time to be adjusted for baby!
I am sure she was going nuts waiting for you to announce it so she can say something! My mom was the same way...she kept on telling me to tell people so that she can talk about it...it drove her crazy!

 

[IluvXU]

Congratulations MeMom! An sweet new baby to love... there is no better birthday gift than that! Happy late Birthday!

 

[scottny]
