ABCs of Trip Reporting, Pt. 2-Life Can Be Crappy and Then You Move On (3/7)

Loved your last update. :thumbsup2

MK looks so pretty. I can't wait for the day when I finally get to see all the fall/ Halloween decor.

I am very sorry to hear about your aunt, but am so happy you will get to spend some time together at DL. I hope you get many magical memories out of your trip.

I've never been to the west coast but all this DL talk is making me want to change that. Now if I promised DH I wouldn't mention going back to WDW for two years, that doesn't include DL does it?:laughing:
 
Well, our Meet came and went- and I can say, we had a VERY nice time. It went off without a hitch, DAN AND CANDI are delightful people and little Parker is just as cute as they come. Wished it could have been longer, but they were bushed after travelling all day, and I had to get back home. I'd post a pic, but I (as usual) forgot my own camera, and the story really belongs on Dan's thread anyway; it was his travel/trip. So, in a couple of weeks (I am so jealous!!) you can look for a chapter on his thread. :goodvibes

lucky for you i came armed with my camera.
:thumbsup2


still catching up, but wanted to say thanks for the kind words and you and your kids were very nice and fun to talk to as well.
 
So, stay tuned, the wieners should be announced around noon or so my time! Oh! And they will not come by Twitter, by the way....


:lmao

:lmao::rotfl: Too funny!!!

Looking forward to the tally for this round and to hearing what you decided on for prizes for one and two!
 
I don't make jokes like that very often *(who am I kidding!?) , but that one couldn't be passed up.
Yeah, right!!! :rotfl:
I had thought about BB and will ask my mom. She may want to do that...
since that's where I worked as a CM a zillion years ago. Such a fun job!
So when were you a CM at DL? Just wondering if you might have been there one of the times I was....... :confused3

In a couple of weeks? I'm guessing it will take longer than that for him to come up with a TR title...................or at least how to spell it!!! :lmao:
lucky for you i came armed with my camera.

still catching up, but wanted to say thanks for the kind words and you and your kids were very nice and fun to talk to as well.
As fun as Liesa is, that isn't the story I'm looking forward to hearing on your TR....... :rolleyes1

BTW, did you get the Liesa greeting when you met her, or did she behave since Candi was with you???
 

We left off with Letter K having been tallied, and here’s how it all shook out (mistakes and editorial comments fixed):

Glenn 11; Magdalene 11; Pat 10; Dan 6; Marv 10; Wendy 8; Molly 10; Jessica 2; Katharina 4; Rosie 11; Chloe770 10; Mark 10; Vanessa 2; Tammie 4; Jedijill 4; JenBear 9; Tanya 6; Lessa (D&W) 7; KatMark 8; ReelMom 10; Kim (Burly) 10; Julie (LorainF) 10; Tim 4; Nory 6; Brook 4; Millie 9; Jenb1023 10; Pooh's Mate 8; Cynthia 9; PennyLane 2; onelilspark 2; Christine 3; Sandy 2; Tina 2

After careful consideration and review of answers I came up with 6 folks scoring 3 points this round:

Lessa (Lifelong Dreamer)- with Liberty Swirl Slush from Sleepy Hollow

Pat (Poolrat)- lightening from the Haunted Mansion


Chloe770 (Dawn)- Lucretia; from one of the tombs at HM

Marv- logs; on Fort Langhorn and at Splash Mountain- I’m not sure I could walk there in 2 minutes, but I could probably swim it. I gave the benefit of the doubt here since he played while working massive overtime. Thanks, Marv!

Millie- lattes from Sleepy Hollow

Onelilspark- Lemonade from CHH or Sleepy Hollow

The picture was from in front of the Liberty Square Tavern, from Liberty Square, of course. I gave the first point for either of those. There were so many creative answers for the 2nd part; I never cease to be amazed at how clever and astute you guys are!!! Common answers, or at least ones that were given more than once were: The Liberty Bell and the Liberty Belle, Lyndon B. Johnson and Abraham Lincoln, the Lighthouse Sandwich from Columbia Harbour House, Liberty Square Portraits, and the Liberty Market, lanterns, Liberty Tree, and even Leota was given twice.


Making their scores: Lessa 10; Pat 13; Dawn 13; Marv 13; Millie 12; and onelilspark 5

BUT!!! Was that one extra point enough to bring them to the Victory Suite?? Let’s see!!

Glenn 13
Magdalene 13
Pat 13
Dan 6
Marv 13
Wendy 10
Molly 12
Jessica 2
Katharina 6
Rosie 13
Chloe770 13
Mark 12
Vanessa 4
Tammie 6
Jedijill 4 (no PM?)
JenBear 11
Tanya 8
Lessa (D&W) 10
KatMark 10
ReelMom 10 (no PM?)
Kim (Burly) 12
Julie (LorainF) 12
Tim 4 (Tim’s checked himself in somewhere… ??)
Nory 8
Brook 4 (no PM?)
Millie 12
Jenb1023 12
Pooh's Mate 10
Cynthia 11
PennyLane 2
onelilspark 5
Christine 3
Sandy 2
Tina 2

As far as I can best determine… (I’ve been known to royally flub up in points before…), the winners for Part 2 of Where in the World are: Glenn, Magdalene, Pat, Marv, Rosie and Dawn. Looks like that extra point sure came in handy for Dawn, Marv and Pat- good going!

Now, the good news, as I mentioned earlier, is that I’ve finally figured out what the prizes will be for Part 1. Now, I’ll have to work on Pt. 2, since there were some repeat winners. :goodvibes

Send me those addresses all you winners, and someday you’ll get a little prizey-poo!!
 
I can't believe that neither Magdalene, Rosie, or I could come up with a unique answer for the bonus question! You ended up with a bigger pack in the lead. :rotfl2:

Fun round Liesa!

I'd never seen the MK during the fall season, so was really stoked I could see the decorations!

I am excited for my trip, but still have massive logistics to take care of... ugh what a lot of work! I just found out a second cousin of mine (mom's first cousin) will also be joining us. I doubt I'll get to ride anything at all, but it will be a nice place to sit and enjoy their company!

HAHA! Hmmmm.... if you added in San Diego then it'd hardly be Disney at all!

lucky for you i came armed with my camera.
:thumbsup2


still catching up, but wanted to say thanks for the kind words and you and your kids were very nice and fun to talk to as well.

I know it!!! Let me know when you post, and I'll piggy back on, ok?

You're very welcome! Candi probably thought we were odd ducks (no pun intended :))

:lmao::rotfl: Too funny!!!

Looking forward to the tally for this round and to hearing what you decided on for prizes for one and two!

It's up!!

Yeah, right!!! :rotfl:
So when were you a CM at DL? Just wondering if you might have been there one of the times I was....... :confused3

In a couple of weeks? I'm guessing it will take longer than that for him to come up with a TR title...................or at least how to spell it!!! :lmao:
As fun as Liesa is, that isn't the story I'm looking forward to hearing on your TR....... :rolleyes1

BTW, did you get the Liesa greeting when you met her, or did she behave since Candi was with you???

From about Dec., 1985- June, 1986- only a few months, but oh so worth it!

I guess you know some stories we don't yet. :confused3 I'll be watching!

I wouldn't do that with Parker around!!!

:scared1:


I can't believe that neither Magdalene, Rosie, or I could come up with a unique answer for the bonus question! You ended up with a bigger pack in the lead. :rotfl2:

Fun round Liesa!

Throwing in the 3rd point really was helpful in saving me some money! :lmao:

Darn, if I hadn't gone on vacation I could have been in the front of the pack as well. :headache: ;)

Hmmmm.. Disney vacation or a trinket worth a dollar... OH! it was the fame and glory you were after?? Yeah, that'd make ME think twice too! :lmao::lmao::lmao:
 
There once was a woman from Oregon,

.....well, so much for that limerick, I'm stuck already.
:sad2:
There once was a woman from Oregon,

Who teetered on making us bored again.

She went to the world,

With her feet hair all curled,

Then drank a couple of lapus for a grin.
at least you are embrassing your hairy feet finally.


In a couple of weeks? I'm guessing it will take longer than that for him to come up with a TR title...................or at least how to spell it!!! :lmao:

nah no sense in trying to spell it right ill just get it wrong anyway.
:laughing:
As fun as Liesa is, that isn't the story I'm looking forward to hearing on your TR....... :rolleyes1

BTW, did you get the Liesa greeting when you met her, or did she behave since Candi was with you???
im suprised you didnt spill anything or leak anything on that story...you are the only one on here that knows it, now parker on the other hand has told everyone he sees what happened.
:laughing:

well when i saw her walk down the hotel hallway toward our room, i did see her start to grab the bottom of her shirt, but then she stopped so not sure if i was going to get hte greeting or if she just had an little itch





Now, the good news, as I mentioned earlier, is that I’ve finally figured out what the prizes will be for Part 1. Now, I’ll have to work on Pt. 2, since there were some repeat winners. :goodvibes
if you ended up going with what you gave me, then that will be a good prize, and i think people will like it, i used mine the whole trip, and it worked great.:thumbsup2

i wont show any pics of what you gave me, as i dont want to ruin it if that is what you chose for your prize.

and i like to think that when i left since i was tied for the lead, that i would have also tied for the lead or won that round, but at least i made it around for round three to start new.
:banana:


You're very welcome! Candi probably thought we were odd ducks (no pun intended :))
no she thought you were all very nice, she was just pretty tired from a long day and said she could have fallen asleep before we even ate anything.

I guess you know some stories we don't yet. :confused3 I'll be watching!

I wouldn't do that with Parker around!!!
marv was privy to a few things while we were gone...but it was just because i was trying to suck up and get some bonus points on his contest.
:laughing:


so it looks like the greeting is a go if parker would have stayed in the room.
:lmao:
 
From about Dec., 1985- June, 1986- only a few months, but oh so worth it!
Just missed you! Alison and I were there during summer of 1985 (June I think). I was there again in 1996 when I attended a computer conference in Anaheim. The two big companies represented rented DL out for the evening so there were only about 5000 of us in there total for about 5 hours. Bill Gates was the keynote speaker so can you figure out one of the companies??? :rotfl:
I guess you know some stories we don't yet. :confused3 I'll be watching!
Yeah, it was fun being in text message contact with Dan while they were there. You know how those firemen are, always trying to be a hero......... :rolleyes1
I wouldn't do that with Parker around!!!
Didn't stop you last night when my kids were reading our FB conversation over my shoulder........ j/k!!! ;)
Throwing in the 3rd point really was helpful in saving me some money! :lmao:
Woot! Woot! for bonus points..... :woohoo:
 
Fun round even though I missed some of it. I'm going to work real hard to stay on top of the next round.

Good luck planning your DL trip. Looks like it will be a trip with lots of people watching and not so many rides. But think of all the details you'll have time to see.
 
at least you are embrassing your hairy feet finally.

It was inevitable. I heard the Hobbit is coming out soon, by the way. Thoguht I'd try out.

well when i saw her walk down the hotel hallway toward our room, i did see her start to grab the bottom of her shirt, but then she stopped so not sure if i was going to get hte greeting or if she just had an little itch


I had worked in the garden earlier accidentally getting some poison oak...yeah, that's it... poison oak. :rolleyes1


if you ended up going with what you gave me, then that will be a good prize, and i think people will like it, i used mine the whole trip, and it worked great.:thumbsup2

i wont show any pics of what you gave me, as i dont want to ruin it if that is what you chose for your prize.

That thought had definitely crossed my mind... we'll see!!!



and i like to think that when i left since i was tied for the lead, that i would have also tied for the lead or won that round, but at least i made it around for round three to start new.
:banana:


You actually may have been!! Too bad you got to go somewhere fun. Next time think twice! :lmao:

Part 3 coming up soon!


no she thought you were all very nice, she was just pretty tired from a long day and said she could have fallen asleep before we even ate anything.

I could tell she was really dragging! Poor thing!!


marv was privy to a few things while we were gone...but it was just because i was trying to suck up and get some bonus points on his contest.
:laughing:

That's easier to do on his thread than mine.



so it looks like the greeting is a go if parker would have stayed in the room.
:lmao:

mebbe.

Woot! Woot! for bonus points..... :woohoo:

Yeah, I think I can figure out which company that might be. :laughing: And unless you dined at the Blue Bayou, I proabably wouldn' have seen you. Although, I did work several night parties too, out in NOS area hosting hors d'oeuvres tables. Fun stuff!

It involves firemen???!! can't wait for this one!

yes, that was a hoot! And completely unintitional!! Hope your kids aren't scarred for life!!!

Fun round even though I missed some of it. I'm going to work real hard to stay on top of the next round.

Good luck planning your DL trip. Looks like it will be a trip with lots of people watching and not so many rides. But think of all the details you'll have time to see.

Part 3 should be just as much fun!! Lots of fun letter to look forward to!

That's exatly it, and hey, just think of all the photos I'll come back with!! :thumbsup2

One point short...no bonus points for letter L...which makes me a Loser. :laughing:

Well, nowadays, it's better than being a weiner.
 
im suprised you didnt spill anything or leak anything on that story...you are the only one on here that knows it, now parker on the other hand has told everyone he sees what happened.
:laughing:
No, when it comes to this story I'll leave the spilling and leaking to you and your TR......... :rolleyes1
marv was privy to a few things while we were gone...but it was just because i was trying to suck up and get some bonus points on his contest.
:laughing:
Oh, and here I thought it was because we were bestest buds!!! Guess I need to go back and adjust some contest scores....... :sad2:
It was inevitable. I heard the Hobbit is coming out soon, by the way. Thoguht I'd try out.
I bet you would be really good AT IT.
It involves firemen???!! can't wait for this one!
No I didn't say it involved them, just that Dan IS one and their skills don't abandon them just because they are on vacation. They are always looking for any opportunity to grab a hose and be a hero!!!
yes, that was a hoot! And completely unintitional!!
Oh you really didn't just go there..... :confused:
Hope your kids aren't scarred for life!!!
My Kids??? What about ME??? :eek: :rotfl2:
 
:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

How funny that all three of us in the lead did not come up with something original. I must say that I thought I could employ a bit of reverse psychology, counting on others to come up with far guesses and I could pick the obvious one... But I really love it that we are six winners now (no, thanks I don't want to be a weiner - in German that's a whiner... And btw he made the news here as well).

I am looking forward to the prize from round 1!!! :banana:
 
Darn it - one point from the win! I keep forgetting that this crowd always goes for the drinks - LOL! Though I guess then that answer would not be unique any more. I should have said Ladies Room for L!

I hope you can squeeze in a few rides even with the addition of your cousin to the trip.
 
Congratulations on your DL trip!! That's going to be so much fun! I've only been to Disneyland in my dreams, but for what it's worth, in my Disneyland dreams, I always go on the Matterhorn and stay at some Disneyland resort that vaguely resembles the Wilderness Lodge. :laughing:
 
I bet you would be really good AT IT.

Oh you really didn't just go there..... :confused:

No way...

eh, hemmmm, and I see you "didn't" either. :lmao:

:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I am looking forward to the prize from round 1!!! :banana:

I am totally guessing it was the reverse psychology thing. I was frankly surprised there were 2 Leotas, and ONLY 2 Lincolns. Funny how this really throws a wild card into the game- makes it fun!!

ANOTHER GERMAN WORD ALERT!!! Who knew weiner (sp?)= whiner! When WILL the politicians learn???? :confused::sad2:

I started making the prized just earlier, and am about half done... hope they turn out ok...

Darn it - one point from the win! I keep forgetting that this crowd always goes for the drinks - LOL! Though I guess then that answer would not be unique any more. I should have said Ladies Room for L!

I hope you can squeeze in a few rides even with the addition of your cousin to the trip.

To be fair, none were alcoholic this time... and actually, I for one, am glad they keep the booze out of the parks. Hot+humid+stress of a vacation+booze= Vacation Alcohol Disasters

And hey, if you'd gone with the "Ladies Room" you'd have totally been in theme with this TR! :rotfl2:

We shall see on the rides... I just really don't know!

Congratulations on your DL trip!! That's going to be so much fun! I've only been to Disneyland in my dreams, but for what it's worth, in my Disneyland dreams, I always go on the Matterhorn and stay at some Disneyland resort that vaguely resembles the Wilderness Lodge. :laughing:

I do like your Disneyland Dreamin'!! I may join you someday in that dreamland!!
