ABC's of Trip Planning (Oct 10-20), Vol. 2- Z is for: Zippidee Doo Dah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Steppesister]

Oh! Fingers crossed...

Yes! That would be so cool!

Although it'd also make me have to do a total re-arrange of the schedule.

Theme-Park-Tourist

It showed up in my FB feed this morning.

 

[franandaj]

Kewl! I found it! Sounds like I need to figure out how to tweak our plans as well!

Kewl! I found it! Sounds like I need to figure out how to tweak our plans as well!

Why, yes! Yes you might!

 

[Steppesister]

Only 4 more Fridays to go!

Tick tock
Tick tock......

 

[pkondz]

OH sure, rub it in that you get to leave before the rest of us

I do good back/shoulder rubs...

Oh, that's not what you meant.


Besides, you're all welcome to join me.
You just need to pay for travel, food, miscellaneous expenses and tickets.

I know it's Pkondz's fav for sure

aaaaaaand a little part of me just died.

Although it'd also make me have to do a total re-arrange of the schedule.

Worth it?

 

[Chrystmasangel]

Fingers and toes all crossed for ya!

 

[Steppesister]

Fingers and toes all crossed for ya!

Thank you! Definitely keeping my eyes on things and will let y'all know!

 

[cinderkelly]

I do good back/shoulder rubs...

Ooooohhh! We could trade! (I've been a massage therapist for 15 years and am lucky if I get a massage twice a year)

Besides, you're all welcome to join me.
You just need to pay for travel, food, miscellaneous expenses and tickets.

Maybe I'll take you up on that offer next round

aaaaaaand a little part of me just died.

Ok, I KNOW I posted/replied earlier to your GG update but I don't see it anywhere!
We used GG on our last trip and I loved having breakfast and snack items readily available, DGD was with us and doesn't eat much at one time so I could give her a snack later in the evening and also had snacks in our park bag to help stave off melt downs (which mostly wasn't the 3 yo )

I get the whole scent thing, I get the relaxation scented bath bombs at Basin White because they smell like Soarin' to me.

Also I sent you a PM, did you get it? It was the same night my reply to your GG update was lost.

 

[Steppesister]

Too writey?

Sorry. I'm a lefty. I always writey amorey.

<phew!>

(And.... sometimes the fingers just type... "too" "to" and "you're" "your")

Touche, Cowboy. Touche. (It was funny though. )

Sounds good to me (well... maybe not the added expense.)
I've done tile. And I've had it done.
The difference is plain to see.

What's PIF?

Paid in full.

There ya go. Disney thinks of everything!

And most.... no, all, involve money.

True.
coconut stench = death.

It just never gets old.

Hmmm.... Many tornadoes in Cleveland? I'm surprised.

No, they do not. But when you're 5 or even 8 years old, even one time hunkering in the basement is cool and exciting.

Sure. I buy that.

You'd buy me my mint julep? Awww, that's so sweet of you. Thanks!

"detest"

You need a much stronger word.

I would be curious to see what words you'd come up with!

You may have gotten more attention than you bargained for.

And that's a bad thing?

'Eau de barn'

Hey, nothing wrong with that! It'll blend nicely with the popcorn and cookie smells they pipe onto Main Street and the horses won't mind at all.

But you are a dish!

I am going to choose to take that as a complement.

Did not know that.
And oddly enough, while many men are hopeless when it comes to flowers, (and colours) freesia is one we usually know.

"Crap! I need a dozen roses, fast!" (forgotten birthday, anniversary, didn't take out the garbage, whatever.)
"Would you like freesia with that?"
"What's that?"
<points>
"Would it help?"
"Yes, sir."
"Do it!!!"

Men take the trash out?! Clearly I've been deceived this whole time!

Makes scents to me.
(Actually, I really like this idea.)

So, if you were to choose one today for your trip, what would it be?

Sorry Liesa, the boards *** out web links.

That was the first time I've ever tried. Good to know.... (silly policy, but whatevs)

 

[Steppesister]

Oh! Fingers crossed...

And toes! I might have to do some re-planning.... it's what I do. Seriously, my favorite park would be so beautiful at night. I'd love to get some shots of the ToL all lit up.

I don't have the time and ability to multi quote and stuff, but I'll give you my thoughts. I didn't know you were a bath girl! I can't remember if you have regular hotel rooms booked, ie Little Mermaid section at AoA, and Jambo floors 1-4 at AKL, but you're small enought that you can fit in one of those kind of tubs. I'm so fat my belly sticks out of the water in a standard tub. That's why I love my DVC 1BR+, they all have the big tubs.

I take at least 2 a day. Every day. Gets the kinks out of my aching back and somehow destresses me for the day (of from the day).

Good to know they are small. I think my room at POP, even, though was ok last trip. As long as they they have the sloped back so I can lie down.

If by chance they offer you an upgrade to another area of AoA upon check in (like Andy got on his "Someone's gonna Pee..." TR), make sure you verify they have a tub/shower bathroom. I think those family suites might have two bathrooms.

I would pee myself if I actually got an upgrade. I know it's a HUUUUUGE longshot, but I'd sure be over-the-moon happy about that!

I agree with @pkondz, you need a much stronger word than detest when describing the two of us and coconut! Freesia I cam work with.

And your stronger words would be...???

Can you spell out the name of the website where you found the information on Rivers of Light with hyphens or spaces. I Googled and can't find any recent information on it after April or the July announcement that they are pushing it back. I checked all the DIS banned websites that I know, but I can't think of one that is 16 letters long.

Glad that worked. It sounds hopeful if they're already doing rehearsals again, but it'll be a close one. May need to adjust our schedule on the fly while there... I'm open to that!

 

[Steppesister]

I know it's Pkondz's fav for sure

I think it's either love it or hate it.

Why not? You're on vacation!

Better than the BO you get on the busses coming home.

What a cool idea to remember your trip

It's not original, but I don't see too many others doing this. I like the little added details to make it just that much more immersive.

Sorry I've got nothin'. I'm an Aveda girl through and through, so that Bath and Body works type stuff is way too strong for me.

I'll keep checking. My hubby is at a workshop today, so have some of this morning to peruse the interwebs some more. Then I'm off to our neighbor's cider press party!

 

[Steppesister]

Kewl! I found it! Sounds like I need to figure out how to tweak our plans as well!

Better get on that! Time's a tickin'!

Besides, you're all welcome to join me.
You just need to pay for travel, food, miscellaneous expenses and tickets.

I know you're the person here that's probably least flexible, so it's not like we could even plan something very far in advance. You're basically saying, just be ready to go on a moment's notice and hope it works out. I can do that.

Worth it?

Oh yes! I think it would be. But it'd take some doing at this late stage in the game. I'd have to re-think ALL my A-Z drinks too, as it'd put me off schedule and in different places at different time. That was the one part of this trip that was NOT EASY to figure out. But for colorful night shots of the Tree and the park, heck yes!

Maybe I'll take you up on that offer next round

Sometimes that happens! Especially if you're trying to post right around 1:00AM when the Boards shut off. I hate that!

I will rely on snacks in the parks as they are tasty and almost always no more than 30 steps away in any direction, but toddlers (however old they are ) should have a quick grab and eat if they get stuck in a long line. I do like the idea of eating at the bus stop or on the commute to the park to save time.

I get the whole scent thing, I get the relaxation scented bath bombs at Basin White because they smell like Soarin' to me.

I will go to the Basin White website and take a peek at what they have. THanks!

Also I sent you a PM, did you get it? It was the same night my reply to your GG update was lost.

Got it! Will respond in a few!

Sorry Liesa, the boards *** out web links.

Actually this not entirely true. They allow links, just not to competitor's websites. You can't paste anything from chip-and-Co either.

I take at least 2 a day. Every day. Gets the kinks out of my aching back and somehow destresses me for the day (of from the day).

Lucky girl! Nice not to have a drought. Now that my jacuzzi is working again, I'm in there almost every day!

And your stronger words would be...???

I'll let you know once I sit down at my computer.

Better get on that! Time's a Tickin!

Yeah, but there was this little Tiki Mug situation that happened yesterday. I'm just starting to attack my day. Haven't even fed the kids yet.

You're basically saying, just be ready to go on a moment's notice and hope it works out. I can do that.

If you have been watching the chatter on my WDW thread you may find that a simpler option for you may be opening up. How soon? Not sure...that's up to @pkondz

I'll have to check it out. This could be excitI got!!

Wait... what?

 

[Steppesister]

I may have to use rude manners at the cider press party I'm at in order to check in. If it's a DISapalooza, at DLR, I'm in.

 

[pkondz]

Ooooohhh! We could trade! (I've been a massage therapist for 15 years and am lucky if I get a massage twice a year)

Deal!

Maybe I'll take you up on that offer next round

Okay!

Sorry. I'm a lefty. I always writey amorey.

<groan>

Touche, Cowboy. Touche. (It was funny though. )

Paid in full.

Yep. Alison beat you to it.

And most.... no, all, involve money.

Almost... once upon a time. When we first took the kids, they had a magic store in DTD. I loved going there and watching the staff do magic tricks... for free!
Bummer when they closed it down.

It just never gets old.

It never does.

No, they do not. But when you're 5 or even 8 years old, even one time hunkering in the basement is cool and exciting.

I suppose it would be.

You'd buy me my mint julep? Awww, that's so sweet of you. Thanks!

Liesa, if we meet up, I will gladly buy you a mint julep (or whatever you're drinking.)

I would be curious to see what words you'd come up with!

Vile, revolting, foul, horrid, dreadful, abominable, atrocious, offensive, obnoxious, odious, repulsive, disgusting, loathsome, nauseating and sickening.

And that's a bad thing?

Apparently... for you... no.

Hey, nothing wrong with that! It'll blend nicely with the popcorn and cookie smells they pipe onto Main Street and the horses won't mind at all.

Well, there is that.

I am going to choose to take that as a complement.

Good.

Men take the trash out?! Clearly I've been deceived this whole time!

Wait... you mean... in your house... they... don't??????



Wow.

So, if you were to choose one today for your trip, what would it be?

Eau do holy crap it's coming up fast.

That was the first time I've ever tried. Good to know.... (silly policy, but whatevs)

Alison refined that answer.

I'd love to get some shots of the ToL all lit up.

Yes!!

I know you're the person here that's probably least flexible, so it's not like we could even plan something very far in advance. You're basically saying, just be ready to go on a moment's notice and hope it works out. I can do that.

Cool.... I think Alison has this covered too.

Oh yes! I think it would be. But it'd take some doing at this late stage in the game. I'd have to re-think ALL my A-Z drinks too, as it'd put me off schedule and in different places at different time. That was the one part of this trip that was NOT EASY to figure out. But for colorful night shots of the Tree and the park, heck yes!

This sounds like too much work. Skip the A-Z drinks and just go have fun.
The fact that I said you wouldn't do all the A-Z drinks in your contest has nothing to do with it.
