ABD Backstage Magic 7/31 - 8/5/11

[Jeff & Stacy in NYC]

Good Morning Adventurers!!!!

What is the one thing you are excited about the most? Honestly for me, it's just having the opportunity to spend time with everyone. We are going to have a blast!

This is a hard one to answer. There is too much to consider. Marty Sklar? The new Star Tours or the Mermaid? WED and the studios are amazing, but then there's Walt's apartment! Then, of course, there are all the lovely friendships that grow out of ABD trips. I don't know what I look forward to most, I just so excited about it all!!

I'm guessing Thrift Stores and Reese's isn't the right answer so I'm going with meeting everyone and I'm really excited about going to the archives.

Well I just listened to this weeks DL podcast. Not sure why Tom doesnt like Canadians. Thanks for the shout out Nancy!
Im trying to figure out how to use my iphone to record intro's.

I was mentioning to DH this morning about John and Kevin's Excellent Adventure. He turned to me and said, you sure they are not just going to ABD to warn them about this next group.:

Got some more packing done, still looking for the camera charger. Have not seen it since Disneyworld...

 

[SaraMc]

Oh! I almost forgot.

What I SaraMc am looking forward to the most...










E V E R Y T H I N G!



except bad coffee..


Ive never been to California, its all new to me. It feels a little like the first time I went to WDW, except I dont have to come with my parents and Im not forced to wear a yellow suit on a plane and its not 1986.
Im excited that I get to do this with my sister and meet a whole bunch of new people, some that since we are cyber friends feel like we already are friends. I feel a little like Im going to meet celebrities with the podcast crew and hope I dont embarass myself. And Marty Sklar I cant even begin to explain how beside myself I am about that. He knew Walt.

Ive got to get some waterproof mascara, Im going to be crying like Teresa.

22 days!

I'm looking forward to experiencing an ABD trip, lunch with Marty Sklar, Muppet's Studio, Disney Studio, Imagineering, Disneyland, Walt's Barn, pretty much everything and of course, sharing some lox and bagels with new friends.

I am most excited about spending a week with my best friend doing Disney things -- and meeting some new friends along the way!

From an itinerary perspective, I am most excited about Imagineering. I would say Club 33 if it were a sure thing, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high in case it doesn't work out.

I've been to Disneyland twice in the last few years, as Eileen (best friend and the one coming on this trip with me) has been stationed in San Diego. However, the first time was for one day/one night and the second time was for two half days/one night. I'm looking forward to staying at the Grand Californian and Paradise Pier, where we're moving for an extra night at the end of the adventure, and actually spending successive days at DL, so I don't always feel like I'm coming and going.

Well I haven't heard the whole show yet but I have to say I love Canadians - I've never met one I haven't liked

friends. I feel a little like Im going to meet celebrities with the podcast crew and hope I dont embarass myself.

I got to meet Kathy last year and I know what you mean, I was a little tongue tied ... I'm usually a little quiet around people I don't know to start with.

And changing the subject, mission accomplished - I am packed. I have a handful of last minute items but at least thats done.

You lot better like chocolate, my suitcase is full of the stuff! I'll be forcing you to take it home with you if I have too!

Why - the "sharing lox and bagels" part is going to be one of my favorite parts of meeting all of you too!

I never said I didn't like Canadians.

I like all kinds of Canadian things.

I like Canadian beer.

I love Canadian bacon.

I used to have a Pamela Anderson poster.

I think Alan Thicke is a genius.

Not sure where you'd get the idea I don't like Canadians.

Heck, my brother lives in Buffalo...that's practically Canada, eh.

 

[YellowMickeyPonchos]

Happy Birthday, Kelsie!!!!

 

[NitroStitch]

I never said I didn't like Canadians.

I like all kids of Canadian things.

I like Canadian beer.

I love Canadian bacon.

I used to have a Pamela Anderson poster.

Not sure where you'd get the idea I don't like Canadians.

Heck, my brother lives in Buffalo...that's practically Canada, eh.

So we now know that Tom likes Canadian children.

Happy Birthday, Kelsie!!!!

Ooooh, birthday time?! Happy birthday Kelsie! Mine was a week ago.

Happy birthday to you both!!!!!!

I like Canadian beer.

Ok, our beer is much better than american beer, we just call that water.

I love Canadian bacon.

Ok, you can I have my share, I think its yucky.


I used to have a Pamela Anderson poster.

She was never really famous here.

I think Alan Thicke is a genius.

The Thicke of the night.. that's all Im saying

Not sure where you'd get the idea I don't like Canadians.



Heck, my brother lives in Buffalo...that's practically Canada, eh.

Well Canadians keep Niagara and Buffalo a float. So almost. I live about 45 minutes from the US border.

We do have many more things that are better than those things. But its true we do get the shaft on a lot of stuff.. ( cough cough D23 cough cough)

 

[SaraMc]

This time in three weeks I will be at the pool bar!

 

[*NikkiBell*]

WOOHOO! Just an hour and a half until 18 days for me!!!!

 

[ImTooExcitedToSleep]

So we now know that Tom likes Canadian children.

Dangit. Nancy was supposed to proofread that for me.

I used to have a Pamela Anderson poster.

I maybe wrong but I suspect the reason for the Pamela Anderson poster probably wasn't due to her nationality...?
