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

[Muffinygood]

I would hate for her to miss it because we got to the park late.

I was thinking of her, really I was

I’m selfless like that.

She would never have forgiven you if you hadn't woken her. She's so lucky!

Here’s the redneck pic

Love this photo of you two! Great action shot!

Another terrific update Mo. And to answer your earlier question, I am feeling better from the cold, yes.
Now I have bigger fish to fry.
Are you feeling better too? (Fibro)

I started thinking that rope drop might be doable.

Maybe

If Kelly would wake up.

Though she may need some assistance

This is such a great picture!

She got off and said it was too loud and hurt her ears. Her suggestion was that they add a volume control to it and she would then go back on.

I'm with Kelly on this. Everything is too loud at WDW - and this from someone with some hearing loss!

Kate does this make you feel better?

OMG, this made me snort tea!! LY Kate!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

But did I say I would be quiet?

No, I don’t believe I did.

OMG, you did not "accidentally" wake that child up, did you?

So I may have made some noise that may have woken Kelly up.

On accident.

OMG, you did!

Let’s see we rode Tracy’s fav primeval hurl, and no I didn’t smell the handle bar.

Ok, someone seriously needs to smell the bars and vouch for me that they are RANK!

Aw, she looks so sweet!

SHE LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s the redneck pic

After that we headed over to KRR. As we were about to board, who is getting off?

That would be ME!!

TRACY! And all her peeps. Her mother had the biggest Hello for me and let me know how refreshing the ride felt. T and I took the time to air kiss over the rope, and no pic of course we are Fockers.

Told ya! Oh BTW, my parents LOVED you!

After searching for anything in my size, I finally find these.

OMG! I can't believe you bought those!

 

[scottny]

great update and pics.

funny you made noise.

Great that you both went on EE, love the pic.

Nice Crocs.

 

[cmp1111]

But did I say I would be quiet?

No, I don’t believe I did.

See today was our first trip to AK and she was looking forward to EE.

I would hate for her to miss it because we got to the park late.

I was thinking of her, really I was

I’m selfless like that.

OMG, Mo. Not that I didn't set an alarm every day, but I was up front about it.

She got off and said it was too loud and hurt her ears. Her suggestion was that they add a volume control to it and she would then go back on.

I’m sure the imagineers will take that under consideration.

Hey, she's creative. Good for her.

SHE LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woohoo!

Now at this point I have a cut between my toes that is screaming, not sure where I got it but it’s where the post thingie is on my Croc flip flops, I need new shoes as I just can’t take it anymore.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I had the shoe issues myself this trip. That is the one other thing I think I blame Fay for.

Kate does this make you feel better?

OMG. And, NOKate, but I think yours were even pinker than Mo's.

Sounds like a nice day, even thought you blew off me, CE, and Puffy French Toast for it

Hey, yeah. But I'm glad you had a good day.

 

[carrieannie]

Great update Miss Aunt of the Year.. Kelly is such a cute girl!
I loved the EE picture! was that your first time?
Why is everybody laughing at your new crocs? I love them! I was thinking of ordering a pair for our trip in 2 weeks! how did they do for the rest of your trip?

 

[rachel3]

all caught up mo!!! sounds like a wonderful time and i just luv the fockerfest pics !!!!

 

[puggymom]

Sooo...lemme get this straight.

EE gets a thumbs up but ITTBAB is a thumbs down???

Yep, you got it, BTW, you get mentioned in the next update

Glad Kelly enjoyed EE, at least.
Just missed you guys at BVC-the fam checked out 8/25.

REally????

You mean aunt for accidentally on purpose waking Kelly up. I would have done the same thing.

See, that's why I like you

Nice shoes, Mo. I just got some of those in brown with pink straps. They're awesome. I've been wearing them constantly so that I can get them ready for my trip to the world in only 19 days!!!!!!!!

You really need to show some excitement

I'd ride Safari over EE !! Kelly is BRAVE!! The kids ( including DD) didn't like Dinasaur either and I loved it !! Dark scary rides don't bother me ,it's the ones that spin you and drop you I can't take !!

I love all the rides, well except Dino Dumbo

Accidentily waking up Kelly does not give you the AUnt of the Year. Not warning her about ITTBAB JK/LY.

Sounds like a nice day, even thought you blew off me, CE, and Puffy French Toast for it

next time my friend!

My 2 refuse to go on it too because they found it scary

She wasn't scared, but the whole bug factor and the stiny smell etc.

I've been know to get up early and make a lot of noise also (accidentally of course)

So, Kelly is fine with EE but not PoTC? I'm still hoping you got her on that one!

Yeah about that...

great update. I don't blame you for making noise to get Kelly up out of bed. I make lots of noise so DH will get up and go get me my morning tea from the foodcourt . Unless it's all in 1 building like WL I make him go. Poly you have to walk outside in the dark in the morning and I don't want to run into any critters .

Anyway I loved the redneck ride photo! I'm hoping to get kaylee to give EE another try. She tried it when she was 6 and it scared the **** out of her. But is has been 2 years and I hate riding it alone.

See, you have to do what you have to do

She would never have forgiven you if you hadn't woken her. She's so lucky!




MEL

WHy yes she is lucky that I am so selfless, isn't she

I'm with Kelly on this. Everything is too loud at WDW - and this from someone with some hearing loss!

I have to agree too and BTW I have some hearing loss too.

OMG, you did not "accidentally" wake that child up, did you?

Of course I did.

Told ya! Oh BTW, my parents LOVED you!
AWWW, tell them I would love to see them in May.

OMG, Mo. Not that I didn't set an alarm every day, but I was up front about it.

Yeah, well, um...

Great update Miss Aunt of the Year.. Kelly is such a cute girl!

Did you read Kate's trip report last about bad ticker Juju. Actually I had trouble but only because if you notice my right foot especially the instep was rubbing by the strap. See my ankles are collapsing causing me to walk on my insteps. In the real world I wear orthotics but they don't work for me in WDW, crocs usually do though.

all caught up mo!!! sounds like a wonderful time and i just luv the fockerfest pics !!!!

Thanks!

 

[Googelibear]

Waaaaahhhhh, I am sitting here, having read start to now in one sitting. Where's the rest? OMGosh, this is the most fun trip report to read.


more, more, morrreeee please

Ed, I have a pair of those crocs (the brown and pink ones) and they're awesome! Very comfortable and I'm planning on wearing them in less than two weeks!!!!

 

[puggymom]

After lunch we headed to BC to check in, I had packed a tote bag with a couple of essentials so we could go swimming even if the room wasn’t ready.
I think it was about 2pm when we checked in and not only was our room ready we had a choice. We took the one over looking the DVC quiet pool .
We checked out the room and went down to SAB as I knew the luggage wouldn’t be there yet.

OK, I liked the room, but it is definitely smaller than BWV. As much as I love BC, have always been a fan, I am glad I picked BW for my home resort, I really struggled between BC and BW, but I no longer have doubts.

SAB was crowded but we enjoyed it and got to go down the slide a few times. (sorry no pics, took some later in the trip though)

We headed up to get ready for dinner and I called about the luggage, the woman at bell services said she would check and if it wasn’t she would call back.

So I went ahead and took a shower and waited.

Garden Grocer called the cell and let me know my food delivery was there.

I called bell services again, no luggage and it was now 4, I had been told guaranteed delivery by 3pm.

I called again at 4:30. Oh they would call the GF to see what happened.

I remained calm but now I was getting annoyed, it finally showed up as Kelly and I were about to head out for dinner. It was now about 5:30. We had a 6:10 at 50’s Prime Time.


With our luggage delivered we headed out to the dock to catch the S-L-O-W boat to the Studios. After a nice, but S-L-O-W boat ride we arrive at the Studios. At this point I was fumbling with something and wasn’t paying attention. Kelly finally gets my attention and points out that we are walking past Jo and her family as they are running to catch the S-L-O-W boat. I quick wave hi and that was about that for that Focker encounter.

We headed into the park and HSM was in process by the big hat. We stopped and watched for a few and then headed to 50’s Prime Time.

We waited for a few in the living room. I proceeded to give Kelly a history lesson. I showed her the encyclopedia set and explained that ‘s what her father and I used as kids to do research as there was no computers or internet WAAAAAY back then.

She had a look of horror on her face, I could tell she was having trouble comprehending life back then.

We were soon called for dinner and were seated at the exact same table I had last time I ate here. I looked for my name on it and did not see it.

Soon our cousin came by to take our orders. She explained to Kelly about no elbows, etc. and Kelly got a little nervous and sat straight as a pin, she didn’t want to get yelled at.

At some point during dinner I think someone sent a spitball across the table.

Can’t quite recall who that was now.

You know maybe it was 2 spitballs.

Terrible what time does to one’s memory.

Anywho, I had the pot roast and Kelly had the chicken nuggets.

I have to say I really enjoyed the pot roast. I do think the portions here are smaller then they used to be or maybe because free dining started today.

Soon we were given the viewfinder to choose our dessert. Kelly broke it, yes she did.

OK she didn’t break it but I teased her that she did.

She ordered the kids sundae and I got me some s’mores.

OK it’s worth a trip here just to get some of these s’mores, I just love them.



We were both pretty tired and decided to call it an early evening and took the S-L-O-W boat back to the BC.

As we are waiting this little guy wanders over.

The woman behind us wants her daughter to get up close and personal for a pic. The daughter wants nothing to do with it. Mom is like, they don’t bite.

Um, excuse me, I would like to share a story that happened to my friend over at Epcot a few months ago.

I told her how G-luv got bit on the butt by one. You should have seen them back away from that duck faster than, well, it was faster than I scarf down a piece of puffy goodness.

Next up – I find Waldo

 

[Goofyluver]

I saved someone's life. Yes I did.

What if that duck had bit that girl?

I just saved a life.

Through Mo.

Yes I did.

 

[Lauralee131]

YAY - I'm here and all caught up!!

Kelly is too cute...she sure looks like she's having a great time with Aunt Mo!!

Great TR Mo...well, yours always are...I'm glad I was able to get caught up finally! Been going thru DIS withdrawl!!

 

[jcc0621]

I think it was about 2pm when we checked in and not only was our room ready we had a choice. We took the one over looking the DVC quiet pool .

The Focker curse skipped you this time

This is on my must do list for nest year I think Jimmy will get a kick out of the the TV's and stuff!

The Dis = FUN and EDUCATIONAL

Next up – I find Waldo

Was he lost again

 

[DisneyJo]

OK, I liked the room, but it is definitely smaller than BWV. As much as I love BC, have always been a fan, I am glad I picked BW for my home resort, I really struggled between BC and BW, but I no longer have doubts.

I need to ask you GF or BC? If money was no object and if there was $2,000 difference!!!

I remained calm but now I was getting annoyed, it finally showed up as Kelly and I were about to head out for dinner. It was now about 5:30. We had a 6:10 at 50’s Prime Time.

I'm not surprised you were angry, glad it finally got there though!

Kelly finally gets my attention and points out that we are walking past Jo and her family as they are running to catch the S-L-O-W boat. I quick wave hi and that was about that for that Focker encounter.

Well we were shouting Mo, Mo, Mo

She had a look of horror on her face, I could tell she was having trouble comprehending life back then.

Kids of today huh

I told her how G-luv got bit on the butt by one. You should have seen them back away from that duck faster than, well, it was faster than I scarf down a piece of puffy goodness.

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Glad that Jen getting bit on the butt saved another from the same fate.

 

[Tanya90210]

Hey MO I'm here finally lol...

What an awesome aunt you are taking her for the first time. I love how you warned her on each ride that might be scary for her so she wasn't angry after the fact at ya.... ITTBAB... oh well... can't spoil all the fun hehe

That Focker meet looks like a blast I can't wait till you get to the meet where I got to meet u

 

[carrieannie]

oh Ed what are we gunna do with you.

Ed, I have a pair of those crocs (the brown and pink ones) and they're awesome! Very comfortable and I'm planning on wearing them in less than two weeks!!!!

Why does he keep kicking me!!!!

Thanks Jodi!! and Mo!! I found a pair of mary janes at Olympia Sports last week! I got the black pair,,I wanted the Mickey pair. but didn't have time to wait as I wanted to see if they would work for WDW. I love them!! they so comfortable!! I put the Disney Jibbits in them that never found a home!

Mo, Kelly looks so cute at 50`s Prime Time. She really looks happy and appreciative of what you have done for her!

 

[lazydoxy66]

The room is very nice. Great view!

Kelly's reaction to the encyclopedias is so funny. All that stuff at '50s cracks me up. I remember every item. I swear they found a picture of my grandma's house!
