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

Really? No bonus point for saying Lady from Lady & the tramp at Tony's Town Square?? Not that it would make a difference but I thought it was unique

It certainly was unique but WAY more than a 2 minute walk from the Liberty Tree Tavern- and I got in trouble last round for giving a point to someone who guessed something pretty far away. Not that I'm persuaded by peer pressure or anything...

You sound like me about 15 years ago. I started spacing them out further and further, as I got older. LOL! Easier on the diaper budget!

Totally understand about only being able to get on as you can!!

I followed Flossbolna's link and it was pretty helpful, but I was discouraged at how few are truly ones she can go on without transferring. I'll study it closer after I find that elusive steal on a car.

I will PM my number sometime soon; a Meet would be fun!! Then my mom can see one more NORMAL DISser. (You ARE normal, right??) Do hope it works out!!

I love that my kids are close in age but at the same time I'm like give me a break already. I feel like I've either been pregnant or nursing for the last 5 years!!! And we're talking about 1 more!!! But we'll see what happens, I may wait a little longer than 2 years which is the age difference between my daughter and our 9 month old son.

I think normal is a relative term around here. My family consider's me pretty normal except for my Disney obsession!! Anytime I mention we're going my mother in law gets all huffy! She's not allowed to go with us anymore!! I should really write something up about that trip but I really don't want to live that nightmare again!!

Have you tried Enterprise for a rental car? We got a really great deal a few years ago. But I haven't had to rent a car in awhile so I don't know how good their rates are now.

Fair enough... but it might work if you are a power walker! (Can you tell I'm desperate?)

 

[tinacaplan]

I did not know you were a CM at DL...that's a cool fun fact!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I don't make jokes like that very often *(who am I kidding!?) , but that one couldn't be passed up.

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!

I forgot you were a CM! You probably have all kinds of ideas. BTW - the new Star Tours is open, too - I guess it's amazing!

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.

Send me those addresses all you winners, and someday you’ll get a little prizey-poo!!

Not that it will be a winning point, but I do want credit for Libations at Liberty Tree Tavern

 

[Poolrat]

I really had to put the old thinking cap on for something original.

Leota was my first thought so I needed to go obscure but relevant.



Yes the twitter jokes were going around today!!!

 

[englishrose47]

Liessa you didn't think Lotsa Ghosts ( 999) was an original answer

 

[englishrose47]

I see I have to be VERY creative for the letter M!!! I think I should get a bonus point for my Rhyme !!(don't hurt to whine, beg, or pester )Marv does it all the time

 

[Millie12591]

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....

Oooh bother! I'm so sick of hearing about him I could spit nails! I think that's exactly what will happen if I hear of another ego- maniac politician cheating on his wife or doing something vile and void of integrity and character. Why don't some people grow the heck up?!?! I mean seriously! Okay, rant over.

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

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

Nope! And I gave some good answers too! Well at least the last two rounds.

(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).

Paaaathetic! I'm so sorry you had to hear about it, I'm sorry the news had nothing better to inform you about other than a weiner of a congressman.

Not that it will be a winning point, but I do want credit for Libations at Liberty Tree Tavern

You too?!? Except I picked Libations from Liberty Square Market. Great Minds think alike!

Oops I didn't see that - I thought you had Lattes Obviously we DO have great minds!

 

[All7OfUs]

Actually there was at least one other "libations" as well, but it's too late for me to go back through all 33 PMs. I need to get going on the next update muy pronto!!

 

[burly]

Hey girl, this has been a blast playing along.
I leave on vacation in 4 days! woohoo. Mexico here i come.
I am going to miss M and maybe N. I am sad about it.
But Mexico.
Can't wait to go back and read etc. when i come back.

KIM

p.s. maybe i can sneak in M?

 

[Flossbolna]

Paaaathetic! I'm so sorry you had to hear about it, I'm sorry the news had nothing better to inform you about other than a weiner of a congressman.

Don't worry, it was just a small blurb on my online news webpage - and a welcome distraction from the EHEC outbreak which at the moment is the main headline.

 

[glennbo123]

im suprised you didnt spill anything or leak anything on that story

No, when it comes to this story I'll leave the spilling and leaking to you and your TR.........

I've got a bad feeling about this.

 

[marvali]

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Well, you have actually MET Dan, so I'm sure that feeling is completely justified........

Yeah, mine started getting spaced out further and further as I had more. And I got more and more tired. Would I do it all again? YOU BETCHA! But I hear ya on the "pregnant or nursing" thing. There were so many things I couldn't do for so many years: roller coasters, water slides, a margarita with friends.... It does end...

Sounds like me. I do talk about Disney a lot, and they think I'm nutz. Ah well, you only live once (here anyway). My DH gets huffy, so I have to control myself and just share my passion with all of you!! Aren't we all lucky to have the DIS?! My last trip with my folks was full of drama of the parental kind as well. Never again- at least with my dad. I'm trying again with my mom in 3 weeks, but even if I don't get on one ride, really I'll be ok.

I actually put my dad in charge of the rental car thing. That should be figured out by today. But I GOT OUR HOTEL RESSIE!!!! Know anything about the Anabella?? Candy Cane Inn was booked, at least the handicapped rooms were. Hope it works for us!

Fair enough... but it might work if you are a power walker! (Can you tell I'm desperate?)

Yes, I can see desperation has taken hold of Jen! Where is she, and what did you do with her?

I did not know you were a CM at DL...that's a cool fun fact!

I was! It wasn't for very long, but long enough to know I'd go back in a second to do it again!

I really had to put the old thinking cap on for something original.

Leota was my first thought so I needed to go obscure but relevant.



Yes the twitter jokes were going around today!!!

Good strategy!! Thinking about M- so many possibilities with that one!

Liessa you didn't think Lotsa Ghosts ( 999) was an original answer

Original yes; adjective yes; accaptable no.

I see I have to be VERY creative for the letter M!!! I think I should get a bonus point for my Rhyme !!(don't hurt to whine, beg, or pester )Marv does it all the time

Too true- but more often I see all of us sucking up to Marv. And he actually does give (a few, and to other people besides me) a few bonus points for that.

Nope! And I gave some good answers too! Well at least the last two rounds.


You too?!? Except I picked Libations from Liberty Square Market. Great Minds think alike!

Oops I didn't see that - I thought you had Lattes Obviously we DO have great minds!

One other had libations as well, so that one was thrown out. I can't remember how Camille worded it- something like "libations like lattes".

KIM

I've loved the game too!! Fun stuff!

Mexico!? Where abouts? What do you do when you go there?

Oh, such a shame you'll miss a letter or two!! But, given a choice, I think I'd rather do that, than not have a vacation! Have a beautiful and super fun time!

Don't worry, it was just a small blurb on my online news webpage - and a welcome distraction from the EHEC outbreak which at the moment is the main headline.

That news from Europe has been ALL over the news here. CNN covers it non-stop right alongside the weiner roast. Russia has decided to stop imports, which actually spells great news for Crapistan. They produce TONS of veggies for the entire region.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Star Wars!!!


(Mark, I think I get a point for that, right? )

 

[All7OfUs]

Well, you have actually MET Dan, so I'm sure that feeling is completely justified........

I have too... ; I don't think there were any bad feelings. Except when my son ate the last piece of pizza...

I tried already to make a ressie at PP, but they don't have any handicapped rooms available for our dates, and the price shot up to over $700 for Disneyland Hotel for the 2 nights! NOT going to do that!!

I'd have loved to have gotten the Fastpasses and EMH, but it just didn't work out. I"m quite a bit late in the game on this planning deal!

Today, I'm going to figure out how the ADR system works and try to get some of those...
