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

The Mickey ears on the ship. Look more closely.

The words were above the rock/cave picture when the post originally went up, so I thought there must be a HM in the rock formation somewhere. Yes, I've seen that boat HM picture before.

I'm caught up on your blog! Roo did a good job! I remember seeing a picture of that half-flattened basketball.

 

[Poolrat]

Ahh yes the drowned rat picture. You wear it well my dear.

As for making it to a signature in an hour - well you already had your shower.

Yeah, after I put it up, the links to PB weren't working so well, so I edited a bit. Glad it's worked out now... It's an easy one to spot because, you're not loading as you look. A lot of them at Calif. Adventure are like that- you see it, but it's too late to get your camera lens on it.

She's a really good writer; maybe that's who I should do a book collaberation with.

Yes, the basketball of death...

Why thank you! Think I could make a poncho look dashing as well? Or is that not in the dress code??

Great update, Liesa (I have a picture of Mark in that hat in Mexico!).

You are the darnest cute drowned rat I've ever seen.

Great update !! Oh Yes no Disney vacation would be complete without a soaking
The HM on Maehlstrom is one I have actually spied before !!! I confess I tend to forget to look for them !!!

 

[tinacaplan]

Great updates, Liesa. I think I may have missed an update (or two) while I was away, but I'm catching up, slooowly... All the things you're involved with right now sound like so much fun; even the canning! I would love to learn how to do it, but I'm scared I'd mess it up and kill everyone. I also want to get back to your blog, which I also find very interesting.

Personally, I'm thankful to have such a great TR to read, regardless of how quickly the updates come.

THAT WAS RICH!!! Good one, Tammie!!!

By the way, how was the airshow??

Yep, nothing like a trip report to energize and feed the Disney addiction.

The air show was enjoyed by everyone! It wasn't as good as some - this was on a small scale. I didn't really go to watch, but I spent some time in the red cross booth, signing donors up. I saw a little of the flying. In coming and going from the base Fri and Sat, the jets flew right over the top of the access road I was on - always cool!

How was the Ball? I only saw one pic on FB

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Loved your extreme tour of WS! I felt like I just read the cliff notes!

Wow! You were really drenched! It's crazy how fast a downpour like that can happen! I can't wait to see how fast you turn in to a princess for the ball!

 

[nodnol]

Liesa, thank for letting us know when there is a new post on your blog and thank you for writing it. Please say thank you also to your co-author!

You definitely did a lot of canning! I missed my opportunity to make strawberry jam, work was much too busy before we left for vacation. I hope I'll at least manage some apple sauce and plum jam (or plum butter? Found both in the dictionary). Homemade jam withour preservatives is much better for me with the food intolerances.

I think you accomplished a lot in only two hours in WS - even a drink! I still have to try on of those... Actually, your TR is quite a good place for tips on drinks!

We have this great video from the late 90s of all of our family inside the France Pavilion, waiting for the movie to start because we were soaked it was raining so hard. We were all sitting on the floor except my Dad, who was looking at some of the things on exhibit. My brother was capturing my Mom and I laughing about how wet we were and then turnednthe camera on my Dad. When he asked "what about you Dad?" he was met with a history lesson on everything my Dad had just learned!

 

[MEK]

I love your comment - far less boozy than it should have been for $9! Those are my sentiments exactly. I started secretly calling these fu-fu drinks and now stick to margaritas, beer, and wine!

Ughhhhhhhhh to the downpour. Can't wait to see how you went from wet to fabulous!

"I am so happy you're back, Jamie!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOTY!!!!
Glad you talked Rob into joining us again!!
We will be watching for you...."

Thank you Liesa--I don't know how much I "talked Rob into" catching up with you all again--I think it had more to do with his Family settling on a tentative date for their Dis-return that got him motivated to wax poetic!!


"DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!! MPP is back!! Rob, I'm so glad you are back to hang!! I swear it's like Christmas today! Okay, now that that's out of my system, no, it's never too early to get all giddy inside for a trip."

I'm not sure his Mom would agree with you (though secretly, I think she enjoys listenin' to him gibber-jabber about where everyone should go for the first night's dinner!!)

"I am so looking forward to at least some stories and pix from your trip last year! Those 3 little piggies of yours are just hte cutest things EVUH!! And I'll never forget your snack post- I'm dying to know which ones you sought out and consumed!"

I, too, have waiting to hear these stories (hearing them in person is lovely but I love to read MPP's writing!!)

"Oh wait: Inaugural Dinner. My 2 choices would be Ca. Grill or Narcoosees. Not been to the latter, but hear it rocks."[/QUOTE]

I will be checkin' those suggestions out shortly!!

 

[glennbo123]

Just Jamie!

 

[JJ Tinker Wish]

Just Jamie!

HowDEEE Glenn!!

 

[JJ Tinker Wish]

Hey JJ and MPP - back! glad to see you here and planning a trip! We really should meet up some time since we are all local.

Hello to you too!!

 

[JJ Tinker Wish]

Well, what d'ya know ... I think I finally figured out how to do that quote thingy you all do so well ... and I even managed to create a signature for myself !!
Now if only that Rosie were around to see my work ... Jenbear too ... and hey, where is that Tracey?!

 

[jenb1023]

Good for Mikki on the combo HS/college thing!!!!

Talk about a whirlwind trip around the world! Yum - grey goose slushies! Love the miniature train set in Germany and you got some great close-up shots of it. Holy soaked! You are low maintenance though - I am sure you will pretty yourself up in no time!

Just Jamie - LOL Glenn! I forgot about that! Can you believe it has almost been a year since the DC meet?

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

enjoyed it, and there are points when you get so wet that you dont really care anymore it is more funny than anything else...looks like your legs fall into that catagory.

I'll let Marv make the maracas joke. That sure is a big hat though.

i was thinking the same thing, let marv get at it.

 

[jenbear123]

I'd like a PM too jenbear!

You got it!


Oh my goodness GREAT drowned rat photo! Can't wait to see the comparison once you're all dolled up for dinner.
