Are you experienced?...wdw05...............

[Lil' Grumpy]

so sorry....in some ways i am a scatterbrain..the wonder, is
sept, 17-28, and then we are 3 days @ wdw...it's hard
to point a finger on it, but for some unknown reason/s, i prefer the
trip reports versus the cruise...maybe cos the cruises are far more strucuture?
so i don't know if or how to make that into a tr...remember ,this was just
an experiment?

so lucky,you are! to be a part of that green gables' legacy..which is about
the values of "any" family dymanics. & the lesson is? having the good life is
the matter of choice? i think it is interesting that this was the era where
mr. disney was from? we have the videos. wonder how the disney co. got
involved? we also have the complete collection of "dick & jane" classics....
too bad there isn't a producer with enough imagination to bring these
family stories tooo life? here's a hint'o..if i was a disney's exec., i would
be reading these "boards" to find a family to do a lil adventure doc. on
"experiencing" wdw...ha! yours would be prefect! [they's staged the
other ones (tv series)..no! just tagged along and permitt the good, bad,
and amazing? in order for disneyworld to reach any family, someone had
to recognized its potential...in our family it was my wife....i did'n't want
no part of! but funny things happened, forcing me to "into" the picture..
like seeing that lil girl [stranger] interacting with our daughter..and cast m.
most # 1 piority is a person's family & its well being? but it almost impossible
to described or illustrate [pics included] all the feelings [positive],a disney 's
adventure will have until the family "expeirenced" it. i don't not think it has
anything to do with how many characters /or how many rides but the lil
{sometimes unpredictable} stories between your family, other guests and
the "cast" leading to a higher apprication/discoveries for #1. prior to 99,
my whole image of disney was a money trap. and it is, except for all these
lil side notes... and there you go!

why? would i picked your family....though you are the most stingy person in
giving liberial insights..the values you have toward family are exactly the
reasons walt gave for making disneyland! you ask for nothing and is willing
to help anyone..but you are sooo careful about it...see? alot "id" with the
family values from green gables-lil house-to wdw..but you live it! and you
share it too! ha!!! i can't wait to hear the trip you guys are going to
"expirence" this august! how wised you are! passing
on the the green gables' inheritage to your lil ones!

*...don't give me any credit as my "work" is my teacher. and i
happpened to "find" a similar person to shared my life with. together, we
have fulfilled our wishes...though without a doubt..i've gotten the better
of the deal! ....* true! over the years, our "worst" fights have been
over the silly, stupid stuff!

hooray! ...i never thought i make it through it! but i have! you know?
i 've been reading alot of other reports too..and some begin by saying they
hope their are good as "happyhaunts, car girl, zzub...and while many
considered those as "classics", i prefer reading different ones..that is: the
way each family is "experiencing" the world...based on their true to life
adventures..& their challenges. one reason i wrote such a mess, was to
encourage others..that theirs are just as interesting as the experts!

ok,nab! you can give me credit over the dress! cos that's exactly what it
was. robe?, my pooh's hiney! soooo glad my misery made so many laughed
that night..esp. my lil miss cutie pie! and yes! i unpacked right there by the
counter! indergarments and all.."what are you staring at"..people giggling
walking by...my wife dispear faster than your blink of a eye! so did my
kids! ..and yes..to make thewt's limits, i was a lil resourceful?
i ended up "wearing" it! ..see? ythat one outfit was over 3lbs! hey, there
no rule..and see one of my favorite tippo..not looking .my
wife went, "you're not?!"..hey when it comes to saving alot of $$$,
what's a lil pride?

now on the way home..dressed in a wizzard out fit {dress}, one rollin trunk,
and one hugh-mogus pin frame...that's not the way to attrack attention.
well no one messin with me!

* ha! our pin fram fitted prefectly inthe overhead! who would have
beleive that?

we get on and i noticed my wife , kids..no one sitting near me.
goodie! plus our flight was delayed 20 minutes..but turend out to be a
bkessing..cos as i look at the window, "what that's ??? hey ,honey get
and your tail over here! wishes is going off and we're right over
it! " hind site..should have whispered that! cos everyone on the right
side of the plane came over!

* p.s...if flying...always saved enough film just in case! yes i did! but the
other resaon.....it really neat to listen to the children going home and
the effects disney had on them!

we arrived home when all the fall colors turned into their radiance foilage!
just beautiful to set down and have a family outing and of course, all of
all pets were so happy to see us!

i have no idea why a disney vacation was so much fun..until i started reading
and seeing the same things in the other trip reports! out of the blue, you
read things that will connnect your family with another..nabby girl! i can't
believe the lil sweet story you just told bout the play set! that's an instant
classic..and you need to scrapbook it so they don't forget!...now let
me add a lil to it,2002...on the way home, there was a family with a lil
boy..he had one of those plyset all over the ternimal..and they called
"boarding"..father goes to pick it up and the darn thing fell apart..seem
like a thousand pieces went every where! so there we were, picking up
all over the place! ...always wonder if they made it home? that wasn't
you guys by chance?

pics tippo...i have some i could add of taking a series if you like me to add
on? not disney, but gives the idea of taking several at a time effect?
[ then i could go back and delete 'em.]

ahh, i can't remember if i talk about one of our most memorable "packin the
car" incident?..we all agreed just 2 a piece..well somehow, they didn't
fit? ,well my lil miss cutie pie was just in all tears! she had to
have all of hers...so in the pouring rain, i had to reaaranged the whole
bunch to get hers in. i couldn't figured what went wrong until we got there..
she [lil miss cuite pie]..had broken the rule and had 3! to this day she still
claiming "girls" required more. * it really wasn't fun in the rain!

final & best tippo..you probably knowhow diffcult it is to find frames for those
odd picture sizes [6by 8]...esp. dcl...the problem with frames is multiple,
for displaying, space and organizing. well, the best solution i ever came
across are those profesional art profolio made by itoya! best of all, they
are very reasonable..$ and fit into our safety disposit boxes. they also
come in variety of sizes!

.the end!

 

[NAB]

Great job, I really don't think I will write a report. I think it would be to boring for others to read. I know that is selfish of me since I love reading others. Maybe I will change my mind when the time comes.

You know I love pics. Post away. I can see you sitting on the plane in the "dress" The kids must have loved it on the plane. Can you do any magic...

Your right that the boat is more structured but I started on the cruise boards reading trip reports. I loved them talking about the boat and what they did and know what they are talking about. I am sure you will still have magic on the Wonder. We were going to do Sea and land too but I think both would seem to short of time for us. I guess I should be grateful that my husband has a great job to take us on these trips. We also go camping every summer, we just bought a new pull trailer . The kids are excited and we will be taking it to Disney. They said we can park it in the parking lot at POR. So we will see sites on the way down no plane. This could be dangerous because I don't have to worry about having to fit everything in a suitcase for the trip home.

Hope you come over to M2 more often. Drive them crazy alitte......

Thanks for the trip report my friend, Stay healthy and safe and have fun

 

[NAB]

Was going to write it on M2 but they wouldn't know what I was talking about and didn't know if you would see it.

I told my son about you hiding Mc toys. This was awhile ago. We were at Mc the other day when they were changing over to Polly Pockets...got to have them you know. Anyway we got an old toy that we had so I told the kids to leave them on the table for the next kids. Actually it was the kids beside us because they heard me say this and they didn't get a happy meal. So my son then says lets take it to Disney and leave it for the kids. See he remembered what I read to him. He is learning from you......how about that. He is growing up because there was a time no way he would have left the toy.

We picked up the trailer the other day. It is a 26 ft one. Big to me after the tent trailer. Hubby had to work this weekend and it rained the night we got it so we haven't even got to try it out yet. This week though hubby is off , swimming lessons done only baseball Monday and Hubby still working that day anyway. It is a long weekend here too.

Are you counting the days until your trip. 15 days for us if you count today...

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

..your son is amazing..."flashback"..when i was a paperboy,
many of my costumers were lonely..but had wonderful insights..an
education worthy of a master degree..higher education is too often obtaining
info that is never used again..

* alot of people just need others to show a lil kindness..

how to help others to regain functioning levels? i redirected toward the
things i felt they would have came from their parents-"family values" ..&
that "hit" home..& produced some amazing recoveries...

ok? we have a computer..but problem now, i used to the old one...


oh, my..you guys are moving on...& closer..26 footer-ha! that's a pretty big
one..meaning tangent wheels too! does your husband knows how much room
that leaves..for sourvineers?

you guys are going to have a great vacation!

we should be getting ready..but you know those that have husbands that
are slow to get going..

yes, i do , used a less serious presentation on the ms board...but i think it
is funny bout comments, on things they have forgotten..just a few posts
later..me think some have memory deficits? however, i think it's
great fun just the same.

jordan's irish dancing..she was only 6 in those pics..[2-1/2 y.ago]...the other
girls were all older..i didn't realized how much they were following her lead
until we developed the pics..we were at a pool right before our 2004 trip..she
did ariel's part of your world..it was neat!..she preformed all the lil hand
movements..everyone was impressed..ha! i have terrible recall but i took all
the credit.

now she made the cutest lil door sign.."boys keep out" [remember she has 2
pesky brothers]...oh, my..you should "see" the lil girl {self image} she drew..
it is too cute!! and she made her image...sticking out her tongue! that's my



ha! i remember the first time we "tested" our trailor out..it was still spring
and we froze trying to get the furance going...

 

[NAB]

Yes we are off tomorrow for a test run for a few days. Close to home only a few hours away. It will be hard to remember all the things they showed us on the day of pick up.

And I know nothing about the tires but it sure is pretty inside. It has white cabinets and looks more homey. I know hubby did this for me since I had all the work with the tent trailer. Truth be told I am not a camper but I do it for them and the memories they will have. My daughter hugged the old trailer and my son kissed it good bye. Almost broke my heart and was ready to say bring it back. They thought we were keeping both.

Anyway yes we are all set for our Disney trip. All our ADR's are made, we know what park we are going be at on given days etc. But I know things change and since we were just there I will go with the flow. Who I am kidding we always go with the flow unless we have to be going for our meals. It is not just my trip so everyone has to be happy.

Better go hope you still stop by to read this.......

[Lil' Grumpy]

not only a wonderful but bittersweet moment but so true!
sometimes our "trying" experiences bring home how strong our feelings
rule our life?...i have come to accept this thru losing my parents..
it was such a sad time..but then i begin to realized that's the way
it should be..because the lost..is a realization how much loved ones
fill your life with happiness..and a lil reminder that wasting time..is a
lost oppturnity?

see? i'll bet you will always have a fond memory ..and this experience
of "out with old, in with the new", gained a new insight..over the special
things you have as a family! your experience made me think of the last
time i saw my mother alive..she insisted walking me..and as i looked in
my review mirrow, she was waving...i knew to look cos, i knew she would
be standing there, instead of walkin back..waitng to the last second, seeing
me off..it just the way mothers are..now it something [an act of love] that
will always keep her in my heart..betcha you , have the same feeling from
what your children "gave you"..disney connection?..it are the lil spur of
the momnets encounters that gives the feeling of magic...can you tell
even after 15+ yers..i missing my mother?

you are very good! you know exactly waht is important in life & brave
enough to share with others!!! so much ..you give..and no expectations..
somtimes it goes right over the their heads..but they're still can't helped
reacted to he kindness..but also ..just the lil you talked about your family
esp. husband [obviously you are very protective of]...the values of marrige
could not be better demonstrated. ..though you wil never "see" my lil
miss cutie pie here..and compared to others doesn't exhibited beauty queens
traits...let me sez this..sometimes beauty isn't so noticeable by outward
appearances..she is no longer a youngster..but...she is a beauty blessed
with more graces than i ever imagined! and underneath a person of great
faith and possessor of a kindness desired by all..she is beyond any of this,
and i know there was no accomplishment for me to have been so lucky.
i have not only gave her vows but have held them dear..thru thick and
thin...i am expressing this cos i see the similar circunstances in your
postings..earth needs family values in order to sustain man's existance..
for the future..lil things matters! just think..what you giving your children
today will brings happiness to others in the future..your grandchildren.

* don't be impress with these lil observations..remember my work provides
alot of opporturnities, seeing how important these things are-good and bad.
it is sad our nation/any nation must used deadly force to preserve human
dignity..others havin no respect and are willing to destroy life to gained
influenced are wicked. though necessary to protect..it still a sadness for all
families across the world..when the core values sustaining the family unit
are attacked..how do thes few wicked people comes to power is beyond
me..teaching killing to prove their worth to God?..in reality hurting the most
precious gift of creation..life? instead i think it is things like disney, promoting
the virtues of families everywhere and stressing the values of kindness..is
much likely to be everlasting.. what these idiots[gangs/terrorists] failing to
grasp..to obtain respect, one must give it first..and the best way to
influence others is acts of caring not hurting..sorry but that's what i think
disney is all about..and why families are needed to keep it going! [ p.s..
i also think universal has similar values- characers anywhere..its the caring
underneath giving them meanings...

well there's you have it..a non/expert version on disney... probably
going to get rippp..by mods..but yesterday.. out of the disney blue..i think
the "ariel" we experienced wrote a followup letter to jordan's [remember ?
we like sending our extra pictures in..for their wonderfl work...it the sweetest
thing anyone can imagined!

 

[OhMari]

well there's you have it..a non/expert version on disney... probably going to get rippp..by mods..but yesterday.. out of the disney blue

What are you referring to "going to get rippp..by mods...

As moderator's we make sure you didn't, use foul language or have sexual overtones. TLinden posted the new guidelines and they basically say, you can have a Trip Report about WDW and talk about otherthings that may pertain to your trip. Another guideline is personally attacking another DIS by your words which is not allowed. So I don't know why you are referring:
"going to get rippp...by mods...

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

...sorry. wasn't trying to project..i didn't realized how much i was lecturing..
and leaving the main subject..

*i don't know how much were actually changed...but i think the trip reports
are the most enteraining and educating section being shared.

 

[NAB]

So we talk again. I am glad you still come here and write. You are not lecturing. You are just telling what Disney is to you. And I am sure Jordan is beautiful in and out so you better what out for those boys. People are not ugly or homely even though society makes people feel that way. Everyone has a purpose here I believe. Everyone's actions is like dominoes. It effects everything and everybody.

Well our first two days with the trailer where intersting. We remember most of what the man said.Got the onwing down couldn't get it back up when we were leaving. We must have looked a site trying to fix that problem. At least we laughed about it. That and I forgot to pack shampoo and soap. No hotel here. At least I am just remembering all those things I can bring back. Plus I told my daughter she could bring her sleeping beauty dress this time. Probably to hot but she will have if she wants it.

Leaving in 5 days....Mind you I picked up a cold somewhere so I hope that goes away before.

Funny you seem to be my pre trip report........

[Lil' Grumpy]

...nab ladygirl, here's wishing all kindso of for yor lil mickey fans..

carChick..thinks she had a magical-mystery tour..i haven't read
any reports over doing a disney campin trip....it does not take a genius
to see where you guys are heading... , but oh! the oppturnites
are just endless?

well, did u get'it done?? i have seen cases where campers going down the
road with their ironings down... ..once on i-25, i saw one beautiful
camper..engulfed in fire!!![near castle rock]...i went to the academy..so
anything reminding me of the columbine t. saddens me..it drives home "our"
responsibility for redirecting disruptive behaviors, for our children sakes..the
lesson to me, kids will not grow into their potential without their parents'role
model. [it's true-less than 3mos before, i was at our local schools preaching
this message...cos kids on the bus were cursing fiflty stuff out of the buses]

..when i see those girls gone wild late at night..i see young lives being
destroy...18-22...requires guidance..and there should be legal protection ..
cause the results are ruining their life...[sorry].

hey, my brother has an airstream..the other in arizona is wanting to
reuinite our lil family..next year..where we grew up camping..the shawnee
forest...turkey creek complex..it's just beautiful! i just realized, we haven't
been together since our mother funeral..that's over 17years! do you have
a camping resort nearby?

i was an yesterday..i left a ice cream= drum stick, and a lil apprication note for my wife & jordan to share....

that jordan! she added "no daddy's" to her door sign! ..i hate the
thought of her growing up...this may be vain...but she is getting so
beautiful, it's scary! and she has this personality full of charms...very much
like ariel..without even trying! ..that pic on her door make me laugh every
time..sticking her tongue out..a lil ..all the way! { i
never know what she up to...everyday}.

sooooooo don't think it wasn't missed about your daughter's princess dress..
i glad you're letting her take it...from my experiences, developing character
is finding what is good in life, to believe in,then culitvating one's presentation
toward reflecting the feelings, our choices brings us..ain't i funny? pounding
common sense all over the place..well i have grown over the years, back
to my parents' value system ..where merit is based on helping others and
you do so by showing interest in with kindness...is the best way to influence
those around us..for the better. why? just because you can take advantage
of another, will never make it right..thus you become the behaviors you
chose..so what are the real attractions to any personality? all i can tell,
is why i love my wife so deeply ,isn't limited to physical interactions..though
they do count! me> for her ,but what sustained our
interests over the years..are the lil girl thingys and her lady-like feelings
she always displaying...even the things i have learned that can instantly
make her ..making my life full of miracles...like the ways she does
her mothering..is very comforting to me..so don't hink your husband isn't
aware of all the good things you doing..and he gifts { acts of caring} being
instill by your children ,will some day be the attractions for finding the right
person to share their lives with? ..being a parent counts..more than we
know? something our parents used to tell..but we were too smart, to
listened..and now i'm acting just like 'em..do you see he same kind of
"nuts & bolts" making up a disney vacation?..one that has the "magic"...

ok, i admitt it..its not only watching the lil but
their parents supporting, every moment in their children fantasy...sweet just
to watch the fall...when our boys got a lil bored..i reminded
them whose underneath the costume and "hinted" how much feelings they're
giving, to bring their xpectations to life. whoever the ariel was, writing jordan,
understood all above..and nab so do you..giving your family a dedicated
mother ..it is self evident how important your role is!

isn't that interesting, that she would write...our first ever feedback...? i think
[ ] i was more xcited than jordan! our trip was last sept... but i
forgot to mentioned, we meet some of the characters/people from the year
before....and as you can imagined..they remmeber us!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

...ok..i a blabbler mouth..over opinionated...and all kind of stuff!

nab, i don't know if you're palnning anything special but it dosn't matter..
soemtimes doing nothing can bring forth the sweetest memories...at
disney!

pluto's sign! immediatley it reminded me of our middle son
favorite..and back in 93,we got caught in a ferious storm, where
he had a special encounter with pluto!

and..sometimes the experience turns everyday junk into ..treasures?
jordan's first tira...willl always have special meanings to the first time
she did crt...and me too!..first of all, it took 2 wasted days figuring how
popular this meal was! kind of show the value of our good feelings by
associations..which light up another old fogotten favorite..remember the
group ..association? cherrish? ever noticed real feelings make up all the
classics?

..well my purpose of interacting and sharing experiences was to be
encouraging others ...and then just maybe rubbing off where we increase
our chances for future encounters...? with any luck..cos no matter the
fancy, elaborate costumes or whatever else..it will be the exchanging of
good will/feelings that become my favorite souvineers. that and my wife's
disney's shopping bags!..ahhh...you be amazed how time-dated those things
are?...they changed them to match their theme....plus the roll up into nothin..
and i can used them to show how much i love my lil miss cutie pie..by
$$$....[he,he,..they also helps with reduced spending ain't that
? ] ...i alos collected napkins,strofoam cups, tickets and guidemaps...yep.. on one early trip..i used them for the boys' autograph
books.. cheap+ neat= a " " > me!

boy,do i get alot out of vacations?...ha! you know what i did when we made
it home? i made a list of all the dirty clothes from our rip..so i know exactly
what to pack for up coming cruise....

nabby girl..[think abby road.. ]..anyway, did you guys run into
on your cruises? some of the attitudes were just apalling..to me..
at one farewell, i asked 2 guys to make a lane..so i could leave....was feeling
sick...& instead they made a "roadblock"! ..well while i don't look
imposing, i happened to be pretty strong..i just bursted right thru...the
orginal reason for coming here was to ask someone from our last cuise if
they had an extra nagivator for one day we missed...completely ignored...
some of he cruise postings/fightin are so uncouth..with arrogance..like
pics not making the shredder?...making fun of others to feel good about
themselves? i think we are better prepare these days...i hope

* hope everything goes prefect with yours!..i be wishin the best while
your gone!
