Alex2kMommy's First Trip to DL! (9/21 - 9/29/2006)

Awwww, gee. Thanks, guys!

We couldn't have had this much fun without your help in the planning, so THANK YOU!

I loved reading your trip report! Thanks so much for taking the time to write and post it for all of us. We leave in just one week and parts of your report reminded me to take the time to just relax every now and then. Thanks!

Awaaay kewl report ! I laughed, I cried, I snorted tea through my nose. Thanks for the details… I’m furiously reading the board on DL. It’s been 10 years ago that I was there. Before DCA was open…. (the following is to be said like a robot) Need Input

Great Trip Report! Now I know where you got your tag!

Thanks for a fun read. We were there Sun-Wed when you were, so it was fun to think about what we were doing at the same time. Perhaps we were on a ride together. Glad you had a great trip!

Thanks for the comments, everyone, I do appreciate them, since I was a little nervous about exposing myself a bit.

Stampinshauna, I had some lime green mickey heads, but ran out of time to make them into something identifiable, so regretfully, I looked like an ordinary parkgoer that day instead of a DISer.

I wondered, too, how many other DISers were there that day, then might post about something in common. Like maybe "Gee, this kid wouldn't stop crying at the BPB!" or "He had the most annoying toy on earth!"
(Maybe it's a good thing I wasn't wearing the "Alex2kMommy"-LGMHPC tag I had planned to make!)

AJA55, thanks for the tea snorting, the ultimate in compliments!

I just have to say that we have TWO of the most annoying toys ever. What one child gets, both kids get, other wise ...gripe gripe gripe. They are strictley relagated to the bedrooms! Did you know that seatac has a play area? If you get to the airport to early, its a nice place to go and let the kids burn off a little energy before going on a long flight. Do you have any plans to go back? We took our first trip this year durring October, and went to Mickeys Halloween Treat. If your kids are like mine, and it sounds like they are, I bet they would love that! We are going back for it again next year!

Egads, not the same toy we got??? Say it isn't so!

I still can't stand the darn thing. It's not so bad if he does the pull-release on the trigger, then it just does a quick, spacey-sounding 'blip!' kind of noise. But he can't seem to do that, he's got to keep the trigger depressed so it does the high-pitched whine that drives me insane. I cannot imagine TWO of these toys in the same household. My sincere sympathies.

ETA: OH, and I did not know that SeaTac has a play area! We are hoping to go back to DL next fall, so will definitely check it out then. Thanks for the tip!

I thought that would help! We got to the airport freakishly early, as always, and it was a god send. Check their website, it has a map. Im guessing most people dont know about it, it was completely dead when we got there.
Oh yes, two of the little joys. It just spins, and whines... spins and whines. My hubby says, gee. they didnt sound nearly so loud at the park. DUH!!! The park is NOISY! Anyhow, think about going around Halloween, my kids dug it. The Characters were so cute in thier costumes.
