OTOH you also have a sense of humor and I had no doubt you would appreciate my shirt

For now I'll fill you in on who I am and what I'll be ranting about in this report so you can decide if you want to stick around or act like a sign at the end of "It's a Small World" and bid me adios, dosvidania or auf weidersehen..........................
I am absolutely obsessed with this shirt since I first saw it on you way back when. WTH is wrong with all of them indeed!?!?!?!? I was already laughing with your title - glad to see that Smee has made a come back
That picture is from May but this is the first time I've worn my Hello....It's Smee shirt and not had people I'm with say they love it! WTH is wrong with all of them???
Hey Dina thanks for following! I hope you had a great time down there and I'm so sad we missed each other AGAIN!Add me to the "I'm here" list and the "I can't believe they didn't like your shirt" list as well!
Hi and it's nice to see you again!I always love reading your trip reports. So glad you started another.
Yay thanks for coming over! And for reading my last report Happy to have you here again!Finally got caught up on and finished your last report, so I hopped on over here to follow this one!
IKR???? Lol but seriously I think it's hysterical so anyone who doesn't just has NO sense of humorI am absolutely obsessed with this shirt since I first saw it on you way back when.
thanks for following along again TracyI was already laughing with your title - glad to see that Smee has made a come back
Seriously!Lol but seriously I think it's hysterical so anyone who doesn't just has NO sense of humor
You should have immediately changed into one of those Scar shirts I see all the time..."I'm surrounded by idiots."That picture is from May but this is the first time I've worn my Hello....It's Smee shirt and not had people I'm with say they love it! WTH is wrong with all of them???
YAY hi Jackie! Glad your'e here now!!!Late to the party, but still on page 2. I'll take it!
OMG that would have been perfectYou should have immediately changed into one of those Scar shirts I see all the time..."I'm surrounded by idiots."
Aw! I wish they still met regularly! The boys met them together in Adventureland back in 2010 and then we saw them both when we did the Pirates and Pals cruise a couple years ago. And I love PP too!! One of the first Disney movies I showed Ricky!For the record, I adore your Smee shirt!!! My brother and I used to watch Peter Pan obsessively, and he was our absolute favorite. We actually got to meet him and Captain Hook together on our first family trip in 2004! We may have acted like 5 year olds, we were so giddy!
HDDR is the most family friendly show ever so if someone thought that was inappropriate I can't be friends with them either......My little group had a good time and it appeared many agents did. There was a good mix of agents who had been and lots who hadn't. I did hear down the line there were some who thought the show as inappropriate partly due to the lead female performer lifting up her skirts and petticoats sometimes during the show and going "whoo!!!" I can't be friends with someone who thinks that...........
So you know what I really hate? When someone starts a TR and then disappears for like 2 weeks..
Oh wait, I did that here. I'm sorry!!!
Oh, Lord... YES!!!!I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here but the days are just flying by.
That's too bad.Found out my sister and nephews probably will NOT make it up to NY for the holiday which really blows since I haven't seen them since last Christmas
I just finished typing this up and it is SUPER word-heavy; like reading a novel...... I promise I'll stop that.
ASMo?our options were All Star Movies, CSR, Contemporary or Wilderness Lodge. Anyone want to guess where I begged my fellow TA/friend Cathy to stay?
Not too shabby. I get to go to...Yup, I get to go places like Disney and Universal for work, as well as cruises, ship tours, lots of neat stuff.
Whispering Canyon?When at WL on a nice warm day, where's the best place to eat??
Dang! That sounds good... and the burger was good? I need to get over there, I think.Huckleberry Punch
44° North Mountain Huckleberry Vodka, Bols Crème de Cassis, fresh Lemon Juice and Cranberry Juice
Not the same thing?we both had to change because dress for the welcome reception was "business casual" and we were in "airplane comfortable".
I once posted a photo of a woman wearing stilettos at Epcot... just... why???for quite a few agents this meant putting on heels, which I still can't fathom in Disney!
Oh. My. God...So besides eating all 101 of us got to stand up, tell our name and where we're from and an interesting tidbit about ourselves. Raise your hand if this sounds fun to you!!
Toasty!It was also like 90 degrees outside,
Maybe. Juuuuuust maybe.-get a pressed penny and a resort map from all 3 monorail resorts, WL and FW
-take a group picture at each resort
-get a picture with a horse
-get a picture with lei's at the Poly
-get a picture of the group on a boat and the monorail
-get a fruity drink
*do you see my favorite yet?*
Like the sound of that one too! And no rum!!!!!Tahitian Torch
ByeJoe Dragon Fire Spirit, Tropical Juices, Passion Fruit, and fresh Lime Juice
Still another one or two said, "does it have to be an alcoholic fruity drink?"
WHY YES, YES IT DOES!!! WHY DRINK FRUIT WITHOUT ALCOHOL???
Oh, no!we managed most of our group and arrived at the MK and waited out front by the turnstiles. For what turned into about an hour. Yup, because right after we got off the monorail broke down with like 3 of our group on it who hadn't fit in our car.
At one point I turned to Nicole and said, "this kind of........you know is taking a long time". I didn't know her and didn't know if she thought this was the coolest thing in the world so wanted to be nice. Her response was along the lines of "yeah this $**((^^&&& s**cks we should just &&**#$ leave". And I pretty much started singing YOU GOT A FRIEND IN ME!!!
Thank goodness you did that. What a colossal waste of time."sorry, our car is at the CR so we're going there and driving to WL
You're three for three on drinks that sound good to me... and I'm very fussy about that.Blackberry Lightnin'
Ole Smoky Blackberry Moonshine, odwalla® Lemonade and fresh Blackberries
DUH!!!!When at WL on a nice warm day, where's the best place to eat??
My fav at GP too!!! Yum!Huckleberry Punch
44° North Mountain Huckleberry Vodka, Bols Crème de Cassis, fresh Lemon Juice and Cranberry Juice
Umm, yes! Yes it does!"does it have to be an alcoholic fruity drink?"
This made me LOL! Nicole seems like my kind of girl.so we all sat there like a group of the South American 15's, spreading out on the ground, on our phones, napping, sweating. At one point I turned to Nicole and said, "this kind of........you know is taking a long time". I didn't know her and didn't know if she thought this was the coolest thing in the world so wanted to be nice. Her response was along the lines of "yeah this $**((^^&&& s**cks we should just &&**#$ leave". And I pretty much started singing YOU GOT A FRIEND IN ME!!!
When I heard about this agent feeling this way I was trying to think if there was anything else they could have thought inappropriate and I can't! It's a bit beyond belief to me but and if they thought anything in it was inappropriate then they DEFINITELY wouldn't like being friends with me lol.HDDR is the most family friendly show ever so if someone thought that was inappropriate I can't be friends with them either......
Overall it really was and we were welcomed warmly by Disney. It's so hard to do what you consider wasting time somewhere you've learned specifically how NOT to waste time!Looks like a good first day and it sounds like you demonstrated extreme patience waiting for an hour (!!!!) in front of MK. I would have lost my mind.....
definitely not as hard with our EPIC group! And more fun Because we were still all free to do what we pleased and go where we pleased with whatever big/small group we wanted to. You may think sitting 20-30 for a meal and figuring who wants to sit where is hard but try that with 100..............................I imagine it is very difficult to be with such a large group at Disney! Now are Epic group was different, lol! Still hard to corral all of us when drinks are involved
She must! I didn't find out exactly who it was but I have some thoughts lol. We do have a wide array of personality types and also quite a few very religious agents who belong to varying religions. In fact there were 3 agents sharing a room with super different beliefs and I heard there were some heated discussions surrounding that.Wow the one TA at HDDR lives a very strict lifestyle, HDDR is totally an all age dinner show!
You.................joker you.ASMo?
It must be the name because Cornwall NY is pretty much a small town with absolutely nothing to doNot too shabby. I get to go to...
Cornwall, Ontario. A small town with absolutely nothing to do.
I actually haven't had the burger because I get the turkey sandwich every time but Steve and the boys LOVE the burger there and so did Cathy. You should go and check GP out it's relaxing, has great views and the food/drinks are done well!Dang! That sounds good... and the burger was good? I need to get over there, I think.
I wonder the same thing when I see that! I understand it a bit in DS when it's later at night; those youngsters will sometimes dress all spiffy for some bar hopping (I'm fine bar hopping in non-spiffy wear). But in the parks????? Vacation doesn't scream "heels" to me unless it involves a wedding or a super fancy dinner I don't have to walk around a theme park to get to.I once posted a photo of a woman wearing stilettos at Epcot... just... why???
I don't have to be running all the time when I'm there; heck Steve and I much prefer taking it easy when it's just the 2 of us and winging it. But I DESPISE wasting time!Thank goodness you did that. What a colossal waste of time.
lol and I have such a hard time keeping my mouth shut I was biting my tongue pacing back and forth while we waited! There comes a time you just say "that's it!" and cut your losses - I mean it's a work scavenger hunt, c'mon!Haha I love that hi I’m coming too. I would have been so annoyed at this point I probably would have left and met Mickey or something cause ugh!!
glad you're here Aimee!Following along now!
Oh I'll let you know next time it's happening and you can tag along How long do you think it takes to scan 101 MB's to get into a parkWow touring with 100 people sounds like such a great time, where do I sign up to do that?
Thanks for following! We did get to see and do some really neat things for sureI am excited to hear about all the different things you got to see and do!
I was so happy to find someone "like" me! I mean not nearly as cool as me but closeThis made me LOL! Nicole seems like my kind of girl.
And the waffle fries are delicious too! Never greasy. Believe me I got my magic bar fix during this trip too!!!The smoked turkey sandwich at Geyser Point is one of my favorites. We stopped there this past Sunday for lunch after our morning at MK. I also grabbed a Magic Cookie bar for the trip home the next day.
Love this. Gonna start using that terminologybecause dress for the welcome reception was "business casual" and we were in "airplane comfortable"
Oh thank goodness. I was anxious just reading about that whole experience. At least you found a kindred spirit I would have been so annoyedHer response was along the lines of "yeah this $**((^^&&& s**cks we should just &&**#$ leave". And I pretty much started singing YOU GOT A FRIEND IN ME!!!
You and me both...I did hear down the line there were some who thought the show as inappropriate partly due to the lead female performer lifting up her skirts and petticoats sometimes during the show and going "whoo!!!" I can't be friends with someone who thinks that...........
You.................joker you.
Perhaps Cornwalls everywhere are like that.It must be the name because Cornwall NY is pretty much a small town with absolutely nothing to do
I think I just might have to check it out.I actually haven't had the burger because I get the turkey sandwich every time but Steve and the boys LOVE the burger there and so did Cathy. You should go and check GP out it's relaxing, has great views and the food/drinks are done well!
Yes to all of this!I wonder the same thing when I see that! I understand it a bit in DS when it's later at night; those youngsters will sometimes dress all spiffy for some bar hopping (I'm fine bar hopping in non-spiffy wear). But in the parks????? Vacation doesn't scream "heels" to me unless it involves a wedding or a super fancy dinner I don't have to walk around a theme park to get to.
