A Very Verklempt Vacation - Hey watch that inner tube updated 11/16

[jcc0621]

Jimmy's bandana is hanging in his room

Luckily the guard is nice and asks if we are going to a party. Why yes, we are having diner with 38 of my closet friends.

I would have loved to have seen his reaction to this!

At this point I figure worse case scenario if I just hang out near the TT FP machines, Jo and her family will show up eventually.

We were on time.

And we were the only ones there.

Sorry

After some juggling we all settled in and it was time to get our wienie on.

Now let’s face it, I believe most Fockers passed on the wienie salad, I know I did. Despite wearing a lovely button given out by V that I stated I did eat wienie salad. (BTW, I pinned that and JO’s “British” flag pin and Mel’s Lapu button on my TFW lanyard and wore them the rest of the week. I had a lot of explaining as people just had no idea)

I did too, and many people had questions

Except for the part of the buffet line where I was polka dancing with Janet. (she left this part out of her TR, but it really must have been a sight)

Kelly was embarrassed and ran off.

So no more Polka dancing for Janet and Mo.

Which may not be such a bad thing.

I COMPLETELY forgot about this Yeah, Kelly was a bit embarrassed, so if I remember correctly we danced again

It was over so quick, I didn’t want it to end. It would have been nice if time could have stood still, again for just a short time.

Either way we soon arrived at TT and entered via the FP entrance, some of us with expired FP’s, mine was not for the record.

Who

The kids sat in the front while the big kids sat in the back. We pulled up and were stopped right in front of where CE and Janet were waiting to board. So I started high fiving the twins, Andrew and giving the Focker to Janet and CE. While still high fiving I was informed by Jo and her DH that I was holding up our car as my arm was outside the car.

OOPS, TT faux pas on my part!

Now for those of you who have never ridden TT with Jo, there are rules. Oh yes, TT is an interactive experience riding with them.

Going over the Belgian Blocks there are noises and body movements you have to do. When you crash through the wall, there are funny faces and hand gestures (NOFocker) that you do.

Now while just about to speed up before crashing through the wall, the ride stops. I turn around and can see Janet in the car behind me , so we start to Focker each other. OMG that just sounds so wrong. I’m giggling so hard as I type that.

So immature.

As we were walking back to Janet, I said to CE, boy we must be really comfortable with Janet as we left all the kids with her. Again, just shows how close we all have become.

I didn't think anything of you leaving them with me either

Next up - You all can have Mother of the Year, I get Aunt of the year all to myself.

Awesome Update Mo!! How is the line for FP at TSM in the a.m. ??
Loved the latsest Focker Fest report!! Kelly is sooo cute and YES you are the AUNT of the year!!

 

[Goofyluver]

We get to the TT&C and I ask about the front and SCORE! No better way to enter Epcot than the front of the monorail.

I looooove the front!

Kelly gives me a look like this when I tell her I didn’t bring the ponchos.

Yea...I think I probably would've looked at you somethin' like that too. Since it's Florida and all. and since they were having a hurricane.

When we came back we were heading over to Germany and Janet was kind enough to loan me a poncho, remember I was wearing a white shirt. And this is Disney.

I would've wolf whistled ya...like I was in New Jersey.

Kelly was embarrassed and ran off.

Jon does this to me too?

I don’t drink.

Alcohol.

You have to relinquish your Focker card immediately.

I turn around and CE is performing a Tattoo search on my back.

She would've wolf whistled you too then.

Turns out she was reading the monitor that had the close captioning. Jess and CE had a nice little laugh at my expense.

I say “Jo’s sitting in the middle” and her head whips around like the Exorcist yelling WHAT!

OK maybe I’m exaggerating.

A little.

A tiny bit.

Not really.

Of course not.

Now while just about to speed up before crashing through the wall, the ride stops. I turn around and can see Janet in the car behind me , so we start to Focker each other. OMG that just sounds so wrong. I’m giggling so hard as I type that.

So immature.

Makes me giggle.

Hi wierd Focker friends!

Next up - You all can have Mother of the Year, I get Aunt of the year all to myself.

It's a deal.

 

[mkluvsmickey]

What a fun night meeting so many friends!

What was in the gift bags besides the bandanas?

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

 

[DisneyJo]

At this point I figure worse case scenario if I just hang out near the TT FP machines, Jo and her family will show up eventually.

Actually we did go and get TT FP's before going to Biergarten

We were on time.

And we were the only ones there.

I was late, we got stuck in the shop in Germany, that lightening was scary!!!!!

Next thing I knew we were all being called to be seated and I may or may not have voiced loudly something along the lines of GO FOCKERS!

(BTW, I pinned that and JO’s “British” flag pin and Mel’s Lapu button on my TFW lanyard and wore them the rest of the week. I had a lot of explaining as people just had no idea)

Why is British in ""'s???? Anyone would think you didn't believe it was real

And you know what, I had fun,

And yes I was sober.

I was too and you've seen the video of me dancing

It was over so quick, I didn’t want it to end. It would have been nice if time could have stood still, again for just a short time.

Totally agree

As we started to leave Germany, Jo’s daughter Jess told me Kelly and I were riding with them as we all added up to 6. I was honored , as we all know TT is Jo’s family favorite ride.

Awwww

I turn around and CE is performing a Tattoo search on my back.

That was funny

Turns out she was reading the monitor that had the close captioning. Jess and CE had a nice little laugh at my expense.

I say “Jo’s sitting in the middle” and her head whips around like the Exorcist yelling WHAT!

Did I???? So why didn't you want to sit near my DH then?

While still high fiving I was informed by Jo and her DH that I was holding up our car as my arm was outside the car.

The CM kept saying Ma'm can you put your arms in the vehicle over and over and she wouldn't move us on

Now for those of you who have never ridden TT with Jo, there are rules. Oh yes, TT is an interactive experience riding with them.

It's not for everyone? You forgot about saying moo

Going over the Belgian Blocks there are noises and body movements you have to do. When you crash through the wall, there are funny faces and hand gestures (NOFocker) that you do.

And?

OMG, that line was horrible and then to get packed in like sardines with a bunch of sweaty strangers after having to wait for a couple of monorails. Oh yeah, NOT good times. The best part was those behind you trying to squeeze in front of you, I was holding onto Kelly for dear life.

And there I was thinking the monorail was a great option

 

[DisneyJo]

Oh here is the PP TT photo

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

I'm having so much fun reading about everyone's FF memories! It was so much fun, but way toooooo short!

Andy has you on video doing the chicken dance on the dance floor! It's on his phone and we haven't figured out how to transfer it to the PC.

Oh here is the PP TT photo

Is it just me or does Kelly look like she's having the bejeezus scared outta her?

 

[jcc0621]

Oh here is the PP TT photo

That's awesome! I am hoping to get my PP CD this week so I can post my PP pictures!

 

[Hedy]

Next thing I knew we were all being called to be seated and I may or may not have voiced loudly something along the lines of GO FOCKERS!

Sounds like such a fun meet. I love getting everyone's version of the events. So, so you have a tattoo?

 

[puggymom]

I'm first for a change. Great update, loved the Focker meet pics. I actually thought of adding Germany to our ADR'S because of your reviews and it sounds so fun. Just not sure about that menu with picky eaters. I definately want to go there sometime though. I have to remember about the expired FP's , how old can they be? So how are the virgin Margarita's in mexico? I'm not really into drinking either, might have one on vacation and that's it. OMG that monorail line looks awful . When we were at Poly we drove to Epcot for Illuminations instead of walking to the TTC and taking the monorail. That is exactly why. I hear you on the elbowing the rude people pushing and shoving. I get really aggravated when people are rude

I have done Germany 2x this year and am no hurry to go back. I rather go to Le Cellier for pretzel bread.
As for expired FP's I think it depends on the CM, also with the rain TT was down a lot so that helps with using expired FP's.

I loved the updates!! It is so great to hear about meets like this. Bill and I are meeting 10 people including Buzz in October for dinner at the Biergarten. The pictures were wonderful, looks like everyone had a great time and the kids seemed to be having fun.

How is Buzz? I'm sure you guys will have a blast.

Great Fockerfest update. I love that you got up and danced in front of everybody without the influence of alcohol.

I wished I could have spent more time with you.

I COMPLETELY forgot about this Yeah, Kelly was a bit embarrassed, so if I remember correctly we danced again

OOH, maybe we did

Awesome Update Mo!! How is the line for FP at TSM in the a.m. ??
Loved the latsest Focker Fest report!! Kelly is sooo cute and YES you are the AUNT of the year!!

The FP line is insane, never seen anything like it. Get their early for rope drop is the best advice I can give you.

Yea...I think I probably would've looked at you somethin' like that too. Since it's Florida and all. and since they were having a hurricane.

Yeah, well, all right I screwed up.

I would've wolf whistled ya...like I was in New Jersey.

oh, tell me more

What a fun night meeting so many friends!

What was in the gift bags besides the bandanas?

it was fun!, there were also pirate tatoos and pirate rings, the girl rings had lip gloss.

great update and pics.

Thanks Scott

Why is British in ""'s???? Anyone would think you didn't believe it was real

So why didn't you want to sit near my DH then?

Didn't have my ax with me

Andy has you on video doing the chicken dance on the dance floor! It's on his phone and we haven't figured out how to transfer it to the PC.

yeah, um no hurry on that

Is it just me or does Kelly look like she's having the bejeezus scared outta her?

It does, doesn't it, but she loved it.

Sounds like such a fun meet. I love getting everyone's version of the events. So, so you have a tattoo?

No I do not have a tatto, I am rather boring.

 

[boysmom5150]

Great update MO
Im so glad you had such a great time at Fockerfest.
That was so sweet of you to bring goody bags for the kiddies (even tho you werent supposed to bring them )
How fun you got to ride TT with Jo and family. I totally expected to hear that Jo had rules for the ride
Oh and shirt lifting to see about tattoos OMG too funny

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I wished I could have spent more time with you.

Me too But hey we have the Focker slumber party at Kat's to look forward to. Found any lime green pj's yet?

 

[ncsjodi]

I loved the updates!! It is so great to hear about meets like this. Bill and I are meeting 10 people including Buzz in October for dinner at the Biergarten. The pictures were wonderful, looks like everyone had a great time and the kids seemed to be having fun.

Me too!!!! I can't wait, Tracy! Only 27 more days to go! And Ed will be there too!

Oh here is the PP TT photo

What a great picture, Jo & Mo! Now, what is the pose you guys are doing? It looks like you're growling like a tiger or something like that!

 

[jcc0621]

Found any lime green pj's yet?

I already have some

 

[KatGarcia]

I am loving reading everyones version of the events! I remember seeing you doing the chicken dance!

You def have to come on over to Manhattan and we can get kicked out of some restaurant or starbucks or something for being too loud!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Me too But hey we have the Focker slumber party at Kat's to look forward to. Found any lime green pj's yet?

I have some shortsd with lime green stripes and a DIS boards tee- does that work? KC thinks I'm kidding about the sleepover....

 

[DisneyJo]

What a great picture, Jo & Mo! Now, what is the pose you guys are doing? It looks like you're growling like a tiger or something like that!

Some rugby match that David and the girls watched ages ago the mascot did the tiger hands and silly face and they had to recreate it, yep we're mad

I have some shortsd with lime green stripes and a DIS boards tee- does that work? KC thinks I'm kidding about the sleepover....

 

[cmp1111]

SHE LOVED IT.

Woohoo!

Um, we won’t be going back on that one. It wasn’t bad but she hated the Alien.

I covered the kids' eyes during that, and it worked out fine.

When we got back to the room I had something to get ready for our big night. I had gotten a few small things for the kiddies to make up gift bags.

A FEW things? The lady went crazy. It was much appreciated, though!

I have no ponchos and I have a white shirt on.

What were we thinking???

At this point I figure worse case scenario if I just hang out near the TT FP machines, Jo and her family will show up eventually.

And we were the only ones there.

I had just passed by maybe 3 minutes before and didn't see you... I wasn't too late!

A few minutes later I spotted a friendly face carrying a glass of red wine.

HI CE.

Apparently, if there was a drink, you knew it was me...

And I pronounced her name correctly. Or at least she said I did.

Perfect!

Now let’s face it, I believe most Fockers passed on the wienie salad, I know I did.

Pfft.

Except for the part of the buffet line where I was polka dancing with Janet. (she left this part out of her TR, but it really must have been a sight)

I missed this! And I was sitting with Janet! WTH?

After walking a few steps we realized we were missing everyone else, including Jo. Everyone got caught up and since Janet’s DH and DS weren’t riding they would ride with CE and her family.

I think I was still saying 'bye to T, and then I had to jog through Italy without sloshing my beer around in order to catch up.

I turn around and CE is performing a Tattoo search on my back.

Or maybe I’m just into that sort of thing and never realized it.

When we are in pre show, Jess starts repeating the whole pre show by heart or so I thought. I was so impressed, but not surprised knowing how often she rides TT. I kept looking at CE like wow , look how smart Jess is.

Remember I’m blonde.

Turns out she was reading the monitor that had the close captioning. Jess and CE had a nice little laugh at my expense.

I had forgotten that. Jess thought it was hysterical.

The best part was those behind you trying to squeeze in front of you, I was holding onto Kelly for dear life.

I always wonder where those people think they can get to?

Great job, Mo!

 

[jcc0621]

I missed this! And I was sitting with Janet! WTH?

It was by the buffet, and thankfully there is no photographic evidence of this



I

 

[PrincessV]

Before we knew it we were in the elevator and entering the shaft, I took her hand and told her we were about to drop.

SHE LOVED IT.

Wooo hooo Kelly!

As we get off I realize I have to go through security with all the gift bags.

OMG, I never thought of that!

Next thing I knew we were all being called to be seated and I may or may not have voiced loudly something along the lines of GO FOCKERS!

Next up - You all can have Mother of the Year, I get Aunt of the year all to myself.

Uh-oh.

Oh here is the PP TT photo
