A trip to WDW w/NO kids? Hubba Hubba! Wink Wink! UPDATE: EXTRA, EXTRA!!! Pg 158

WOW.....it took me two days but I finally read through the entire PTR and the beginning of the TR. It took a while........but it was well worth it!! I can't wait to read the rest! Great work!:thumbsup2

Now that is some patience and dedication!!
 
YEAH!!! You've started your TR!!! Love it!!!
I thought we might hae been on the same bus one day/night. I kept staring at this couple trying to figure out if it was you.:rotfl2: I didn't see any LGMHs and I didn't say anything. Don't know why I didn't. It's not like I'm shy or anything. I'll just blame it on the total exhaustion factor!!! Anyway I'm looking at your pics again and if that wasn't ya'll then your doubles were there!! I'm thinking it had to be on the way to another park, because we stayed at beach Club and had diff. busses as far as going to the resort. Anyway if ya'll were on a bus where a little blond boy was in a blue wheel chair and the Mom kept looking at ya'll. No You didn't have anything on your face! It was just me trying to see if it was YOu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl2:
 
Glad you got your king bed and in the photos I was looking for some kind of animal as you said about the wildlife :rotfl:

OK my guess you went to MGM to catch Fantasmic :)
 
If you go to "options" right above the first browse button for pics to be added you can click whatever size you want it to be and it will remain. I have 800 X 600 checked. Mine are all that size. makes it easier.

Good night and thanks for the update.

thank you, that was very helpful!

you're welcome!

Glad you got your King room even if it was a handicap room.

me too!

:woohoo: Let's get this rollin' baybee! Love your start!!!

thanks!

Even though it was a mini update, it was still good.

Thnkas for giving your readers something:thumbsup2

You really have gotten me wondering what your surprise is.

I have a good guess, but will keep my mouth shut....:goodvibes :goodvibes

hahaha....I'm sure you are WAY off course. First of all, you have to wonder if I'm just trying to get more readers, or if there really is a surprise. :rotfl2:

most people aren't too used to planes. Being a pilot is a rare hobby these days. I'm glad my dad is one though. It got me used to planes and I have no fear of flying. I like smaller planes much better.

And I wasn't here for the update....sorry...but here's my replys now :thumbsup2


so cute :thumbsup2


yes, they all look the same pretty much


very pretty

that actualy looks a lot nicer than our room at Pop was. Did you guys have one of the renovated rooms? I think it's good that they're working on that resort. It needs it.

we had a king room at ASSports one year and it was handicap...so I can't confrm for you that there's ones that aren't.

:lmao: I bet housekeeping loved you guys :lmao: I still think it's funny that you used lint roller tape to put up your LGMH's. Very creative, girl! :goodvibes

I didn't hang any so if it makes you feel better you put more effort into it than I did. :laughing: I wanna bring a white board and stuff to decorate my door next time. That looks like fun to get notes from other disers. ;)

oooo oooo pick me...I know the answer!! :lmao:

cheri you better post that surprise soon...Sharky keeps bugging me to tell her :lmao: :lmao: she's trying to be a sneaky sneak :lmao: but Im not cracking. :thumbsup2

I'm pretty sure it was a renovated room. And FYI I know that Music has the non-handicapped rooms with King beds, because we got one last year...just not sure about Sports.

Thanks for saying I'm creative! I like the whiteboard idea!

what surprise? :confused3

I got the whiteboard idea from a DISer staying down the hall from us. They decorated their door with two white boards and all sorts of other stuff. I have a picture :thumbsup2

:lmao: :lmao: you're so sneaky!
 
Great update Cheri! We got a handicapped room at POFQ one year when we requested a king too :confused3 Can't wait for more BTW...a small update is better than no update ;)

thanks! glad you liked it!

Yeah, so glad you got the king bed, hope you took a pic of the handicapped bathroom, would love to see it. CAn't wait to get our questions answered about what park if any, etc. Thanks for the update, you are right, a small one is better than none!:thumbsup2
Lesley

:guilty: sorry, I didn't get a pic of it. I should've though. It was just wider and had a bar on the wall and in the shower.

Well, well, well! Go on with your bad self :lmao: sneaking an update in after I went to bed! (I couldn't help it! Are you still saying that today? If you weren't, I bet you are now! :laughing: )

Anyhoo... great update! My thoughts...
1. I like trees ! :thumbsup2
2. Very MacGuyver of you with the lint roller! :thumbsup2
(are you old enough to know who MacGuyver is and did I spell it right?)
3. PPPPLLLLLEEEEEEEEESE tell us the surprise!!! :hyper:

Yes, I AM laughing. :lmao: silly!

1. Y'all are making me feel better about our view. I was hoping we'd see something more than trees.
2. Yes, I know who MacGyver is...(and no you didn't spell it right...:goodvibes )and thanks for the compliment!
3. I don't know what you're talking about. :confused3

WOW.....it took me two days but I finally read through the entire PTR and the beginning of the TR. It took a while........but it was well worth it!! I can't wait to read the rest! Great work!:thumbsup2

wow!!!! Welcome to my report! And Thank you!

:worship: Don't know how you managed to make it through, but you're my hero!

Surfs up was a good location, or room was to the right coming out the main building, next to the laundry place. I was going to say the noise from fixing the pool woke you guys up, but you were on the other side of the building, and I bet you got a renovated room, they were painting all of those and replacing most of the beds and furniture to them while we were there.

I knew you got a King bed, lucky ducks, but our room was still good even though we did not get one.
Your luggage was in your room later that night when you got back, because you ate in the food court, and then went to Epcot, because you wanted to see illuminations.

they didn't seem to be doing much with the pool when we were there, either that or we just didn't hear a thing.

I think we did get a renovated room. Haha, yeah, one day we walked out and saw....:rolleyes1 oh, sorry, can't tell you that yet!!!!

well I'd say your room was okay besides the foot scrubby thingy! :eek:

Umm...you're closer than you were last time you tried to guess, but still WAY WAY off!

I love your short update, seriously. It makes it much easier for me to read it and keep caught up with others' TRs.

Your view is very nice. I have never staying in a value so all I thought you got was obnoxious sites of big everything. I really like the trees. It seems a bit more private.

King beds are great. Someday we'll have to get the kids their own room so we can have a king room. Yeah, someday, right!

thanks!

Again, you're really making me feel better about our Tree view.

haha...when we have kids, I'm sure we will no longer have the luxury of a king sized bed on vacation. Gotta enjoy it while we can! We have one at home, so it's weird sleeping on anything smaller.

Love the update!!

I'm trying to picture the window...

:rotfl2:

:rotfl2: did you see it? :confused3

Now that is some patience and dedication!!

yeah, I'll say!

YEAH!!! You've started your TR!!! Love it!!!

thanks!

Aww you should have said Hi! Although we never did take the bus from one park to another. So maybe our doubles WERE there!
Also I don't remember being on a bus with any little ones in a wheelchair, the only people we saw in wheelchairs were adults. Then again, I could have been REALLY tired and not paying attention. But like I said, we never took the bus from one park to another. And never went to the beach club either.
I WISH we would have seen you though! Did you have a great time or what?!

Glad you got your king bed and in the photos I was looking for some kind of animal as you said about the wildlife :rotfl:

OK my guess you went to MGM to catch Fantasmic :)

wildlife? :confused3 What am I missing?

sorry :sad2:

We have a queen and I wish we had a king. I am not a cuddler and I like my space. That is why Rob & I did not sleep together on our Disney vacation. Double beds? Are you kidding me? I slept with Brookie. Rob took turns sleeping with the boys (one of them slept on the trundle).
 
I got the whiteboard idea from a DISer staying down the hall from us. They decorated their door with two white boards and all sorts of other stuff. I have a picture :thumbsup2

:lmao: :lmao: you're so sneaky!

How did I know you'd sneak a post in between my replies?


Hey that's what the DIS is for...stealing ideas!! :thumbsup2 I also saw one with something she made herself for everyone to write on.
It was cute.

I'm not a cuddler either (when sleeping anyway) It's nice having a King because even if one of us is moving around a lot, the other would never know it.

Poor Rob. LOL :lmao:

:rotfl2: did you see it? :confused3
Maybe you didn't hear it. I always saw them working on it on my late night walks. I think they did it in the middle of the night, but I don't know why.

As much as I can't see in the dark, I did manage to get a small peekie in while walking past...No I wasn't stalking you.:lmao:
awesome! Maybe I will get in a REAAAAAAAAAALLLY short update today and make you really happy!

Yay!!!:yay:

I sleep pretty soundly....so that's probably why.

Oh, I told Mike I thought I saw a shadow outside...sorry for what you had to see. :rotfl: JUST KIDDING!


Well maybe a BIG update today....I think it's big enough for 2 posts!! (I got really talkative...sorry!)
 
So…we were at Disney World! What better way to celebrate, and feel the REAL Disney magic, but to go to one of the parks! :thumbsup2 We did, afterall, spend that extra whopping $2.00 for the extra day to make sure we could spend a little bit of time in the parks on our arrival day.
So we made a quick stop to squash some pennies by the game room, and headed for the bus stop. Where do we want to go? Before we walk outside, I say “Let’s go to _____! Well I’ll be a monkey’s Aunt…there’s the bus, RIGHT on TIME! (This wouldn’t be the first time this happened)
We arrive at the “park” and….

And now, the moment you’ve ALL been waiting for….

Drumroll please!


….


Mike snaps a pic of a sight we haven’t seen in a while…

Disney2007028.jpg


Look Ma, no hands!!!!!!!

We grab a map, and of course Mike had to snap the first pic of me in the park:
Disney2007029.jpg


This is me going…"I need to reorient myself…there’s too many walls up!” Epcot involves enough walking without the walls, and now we had to navigate around them….this would prove troublesome later in our trip.

We were hungry (we knew we didn’t want to eat at our food court, so we planned on finding something at the park) so we headed for the Electric Umbrella. I completely forgot to take a pic (but doesn’t matter so much with the CS right?:confused3 ) but we split a CS credit and shared a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with fries, a light lemonade, and strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Since it was pretty early for dinner, we wanted to eat light so that we could eat a normal dinner later on. Once we were finished up there…

We decide to do something new...

Let’s go see Nemo! Oh my gosh! :eek: I’ve NEVER seen a longer queue in my ENTIRE LIFE. By that, I don’t mean the actual LINE, I just mean the entrance…does that make sense? We weaved throughout the long long entrance, and walked right on. I’m sure when the sign said 10 minutes, they meant it just takes that long to GET to the ride! The theming was really nice, though. I couldn’t imagine the wait time if that whole queue was filled though.

Disney2007030.jpg

Unfortunately this is the ONLY pic I have on photobucket…(I am not quite sure but I think the rest of them may have been too dark and that’s why I didn’t upload them. I’ll have to go back and check when I get home.)

It was a really cute ride, but a one-timer for us. Or…maybe not?
We decided to walk over to see our pal, Crush, since we had never done it before. (The lines for that thing in mid-summer are HORRENDOUS!) It was absolutely the CUTEST thing, and it was actually really funny! I love that technology, and it got me excited to see the new Monsters Inc. show in MK. For anyone who doesn’t have kids, and thinks that show is just for kids, it’s definitely for all ages. He only speaks to the children (and occasionally their parents) but he had us cracking up the whole time! :rotfl:

We exited and took a few minutes to look at all of Meeko and Cleo’s cousins. (for those of you that didn’t read the PTR, those are my :fish: ) The seahorses are my fav! (sorry, no pics here) We noticed one of the venomous puffer fish was sorta laying at the bottom of his tank, so when we left the room Mike wanted to do his good deed of the day and we found a CM to tell about it. He said that’s what he was on his way to check on...he said those fish sometimes get into odd positions, but it didn’t seem normal and he might be sick. I sure hope he’s okay!

We left the Seas building, and managed to be there for the brief moment in the day when there aren’t 80 strollers clogging up the walkway and 120 children taking pictures with the fish statues. So I jumped up there and had Mike take a pic. (not a great one)
Disney2007031.jpg

That kid was the only one taking a pic at the time. He was so cute, he didn't want to leave Nemo.

As soon as we were done, swarms of parents and children came to take pictures. What timing we had!

Okay, I think I’ve done way too much chattering and not enough pics. :guilty: Hope y’all are still tuned in!

Next, we decided YET AGAIN to do something else we’ve never done (never had the time to). Innoventions! I wasn’t sure which one to go to, so we just picked one, and it turned out to be Innoventions West. We walked in, not sure of what to do. I think there is more stuff at IE, but what we found here was pretty cool, too.
We saw some people riding segways, and thought maybe that had something to do with the tours ($$$), but I asked one of the CM’s riding one, and he said that it was free :yay: and we could try riding one briefly, after watching a short film. He said the next show was in 10 minutes, so we thought, hey, why not try it out! We were the first ones, and waited in “line” for the next session.
Since I forgot to get a pic while we were waiting, I found one online and this was our exact view:
http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/epcot/photos/segway-250.jpg

10 minutes later we were still waiting. And the guy still kept saying “in 10 minutes.” Mike suggested leaving after 15-20 minutes of waiting, and I said “Well, we’ve already waited THIS long, might as well keep waiting.” Finally, after 30 minutes of waiting :snail:, we were allowed into that big round room in the picture. The CM introduced the video and it lasted about 10 minutes. We had to sign a release form, and then we were let out of the room to try out the Segway! (Also, no one under 16 could ride it, you had to have good balance and be able to stand on it alone, and women who are expecting can’t ride---there goes that theory, huh?)
I went first.
Disney2007033.jpg

I rather like how the movement made it blurry….I must’ve been turning.

Disney2007034.jpg

Go forward.

Disney2007035.jpg

Now backward.

Disney2007036.jpg

Now forward really fast. No, faster! I am like “hey, I don’t want to hit you, man!” And he kept insisting I wouldn’t hit him. But he was walking backward the whole time and awfully close!

Disney2007037.jpg

Time to practice that turning.

Disney2007038.jpg

Alright, you’re done. Good job!

Now it’s Mike’s turn.

Disney2007039.jpg

Not quite grasping it as well as me…

Smile!...
Disney2007041.jpg

I like how the CM is actually smiling at the camera, and Mike is looking off in the distance at who knows what! :laughing:

I didn’t get quite as many pics of him. Didn’t want to embarrass him…haha (Seriously though, I think his bad ankle made it really hard for him)
After that….we had enough of Epcot for the day and needed to save the rest for later in the week…..Or did we? :confused3 And did we have enough energy left to hit PI? Find out in the next installment, where I take a pic with someone I’m actually taller than! :thumbsup2


(Bonus cliffhanger: How long will it take me to get through day 1? :lmao: )

NEXT: Day 1: Part 5--Waiting on the luggage...and waiting...and waiting...and waiting!
 
Great Update!!!

There goes my pregnancy theory:rotfl2:

That is so cool you were able to try the segways for free. Dh woul love to do that.....Not me, I woluld probably fall off or hit something:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I was afraid Epcot ball would look too bare with out wand, but it really looks great!!!!
 
To my little apprentice...

You are doing a very good job. Keeping us interested, yet not bored with too much. I think you deserve an A+ for this update! :thumbsup2

Anywho ... You take such cute pics. Or should I say that Mike takes such cute pics of you?

And look how lonely Spaceship Earth looks without the Mickey hand with wand .... :sad2:
