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

[Lil' Grumpy]

wow the sun is still shining...but its already getting hot @ 10 am. ok,
i know iam hard to please...why cn't i have my cake and eat it too?
especially @ disney world? hmmm cake. i really do think a breakfast
cake would be popluar..something you can eat on the bus? they
probably don't because then they would need to hired someone to
clean the mess. speaking of, my wife made some sort of new lava
cake from pamper chef...for my birthday. i spent the whole day
thinking on what to say if it didn't come out "right". [ in the past i
learned from not being prepared and was costly...to my
well being-hint/hint] . oh my goodness..when she flipped it out,
nothing but a big blob...instead of laughing [which was hard to do]
i told her this"..honey, you make every day special not just birthdays".
this was the best birthday ever! i mentioned this because all our
disney trips have been similar. if you don't git rattle when a plan
fails, something more special usually happens.

....................p.s. the cake may
not have looked good but it sure was tasty. for what it is worth,
it reminded my of my father. he used to try to buy the worst looking
candy so none of us [10 kids] would eat it up. ha! no such luck ever.
think about it--it was hard to find hiding places when there 10
kids running around.

*sloppy,sloopy writing..worst , i have forgotten alot stuff.
but i am hoping the educational stuff has been clear enough to help
others? last night my son had to go bed early [1230 am] for college.
also the keys sometime dosen't work so they have to be re-punched
...just wanted you to know it wasn't done on purpose. you can
probably tell my teachers used to yell alot? and by the way,
my wife complaining because too many e-mails...all she does
is delete them. [ my orginal registration is under her e-mails].
sorry. except those sending trash.

for as hard as we try, we never make it to the park openings. nor are
we able to plan any day to arrrived early for parades. usual we just
come across them. oh well, there are other traditions i like doing. at
mgm,one of them is to window shop. they are like "works" of art and
they always put me in a good mood. some of the top store windows are
decorated just like the magic kingdom. my wife's tradtion is a little
different. the first thing she does is to look for the bathrooms.
somone posted them on a thread. i was so excited...i made a
copy. i can't wait until our next trip and i can just whipped the
copies out. iam not kidding--all of them. oh,boy!..maybe i my
wife will give me a reward? and won't she be impress with my
planning? only time will tell.

well as much as i would like time to stop and keep my favorite memory
going ...my boys came a running up ...they forgotten the sun screen.
see? i told you it was too hot! i redirected them to their mother. they
soon came back claiming i have it. [sun scree]. c'mon boys,
you know your mother in charge of that?!.."yeah but she hide it in
your bag[ back pack ]."oh she did? is this true,hony? ,
suddenly i remember feeling something "wet" from the back side.
suddenly i didn't want to look inside..it was awful..goop everywhere.
dwats! this bathroom stop was going take longer than anticiapted.
and i didn't appricated my wife ruining my happy "place". in turn,
she went back into the ladies bathroom. one these days iam going
in ...won't that make a pretty site? however, this wasn't the day..
iam not that brave. though i'll never tell her...you got to admitt that's
a pretty cool [always wanted to used that fellow] idea. i mean,
wouldn't i look a little silly cussing by myself...that could give me the
wrong kind of attention? [similar to these boards?] so after this
unscheduled "pit" { beleive me, it was the pits} stop, i, my wife,daugther,
and "we" were ready for the first ride ..tot...another family tradition.
but first fastpass rnr..nope all gone. ok, some may ask why didn't i go
get them when my wife was in the first bathroom stop? because nothing
more frustrating than getting separated at the begining of a park..even
discovering a sun tan lotion "spill". but that's another park,another trip.
afterall, we ain't experienced for nuthing! forget that, i want to ride!

 

[1000thhappyhaunt]

Hi there. Seems you're motoring through this TR. Good goin'. I'm hooked. I think.

Why don't you come and visit on the CB board sometime?

Hope you had a great birthday. Cheers, Mel.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

hello mel... thanks for invite....you have a great site on the cb. it's
just so hard to keep up ..one day its 8 pages, the next 58. but it's been alot
of fun reading. is it me or what...there seem to be 2 types responding?
those on drugs and those that need 'em? and what have you got me into
here?...i 'm having to think like a schoolboy again...what a struggle. i'm guessing tommy all better? i just want to say..you have a great family..
and it wasn't lost on me how much you support their individuality.

ok..before re-starting this old studbaker [engine], i just like to say the
best thing bout the boards are how many good people are willing to share
and help others with their "disney vacations". by reading others input, i
acquired a greater apprication..for my wife planning. though i am using
humor to re-live our adventures, iam also trying very hard to be accurate.
i think that's really gives any t.r. its values..so others can benefit.
sometimes i must ask my wife to make sure iam getting it right...others
may think some of my comments have been make-believe [on other posts],
but here's a secret..they were stories/expereinces based on reality...
there's no way my imagination is that good. i've enjoyed very much reading
& learning from others. though i've not responded to every one....[wish i
could] because it is my favorite thing. isn't every trip to disney a vacation?
and for every thing we planned, its the things that pop up that's has given
us our best memories. i'm betting we all are on equal ground with this regard.

just like the bus driver,,dang i was torn between letting it ride and speaking
up... i tried to remain neutral by asking to let us off at cornado springs but
it became a dangerous situation ..until a complete stranger got involved.
[i don't think it would have ended the same if he hadn't]. he has my apprication. let's face it..alot of disny problems are created from the stress
of being on the go all day and high expectations. finding ways to cope is
important for everyone...like parades/line cutting bus seating to named a
few. therefore, i including some of ours...that i hope help others just in
case...i also believe there even alot of pressure on the disney workers.
let's me say this..i am very impress with their administration and training
programs. i think on the individual that htey understand very much how
important their job are. it's hard to believe that there isn't more problems
based on numbers alone. i could be wrong but a part of their training is
dedicated to the disney value sustem..of providing the best services in
the industry. i think alot are disappointed because they failed to seek
out their assistance. overall, iam saying the average disney worker is
motrivated toward making the guest's dream come true. and if others
joined in supporting/helping others....will also enrich one own disney
"expereince".

anyways, sorry for the delay but i want to make it clear that i am
very serious bout writing our trip report. and that iam trying to be accurate
because i wouldn't want to mislead any one. now as soon as i can,
i'll get back to mgm.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

ok..i sitting by the rest room at the mgm park. why?..my wife has escaped
into the closest one. it is the the one located in the "back alley" half way
down the road leading to Tot. i am trying to "clean" out my rollling back pack.
..and its contents...from an opened sunscreen bottle..that should have never
been placed inside. thats me! and if you keeping count, its now me
2-- boys [1]. they claimed their mother instructed them to hide it in there.
it's a way of getting out of putting the lid on. i looked up and they're off again
--iam sure on some kind of pin expedition. [the oldest is into pirates/haunted

manison and the youngest into stitcher and buzz/lion king.] just like to point
out..its good old dad that footing the bill. no wonder they entrapped us so
call "guests" by giving a few away...look at the pay back! guests? what a
funny term..i think it is a trade secret in which the true reference is all about
keeping all us "guessing"..so we keep coming back. and i got to say its sure
been working. me? iam still wiping and cleaning..spewing a few "fake" cuss
words, you know the type?...however, the saving grace came from "here's
a secret?"...luckly i stored a couple of wash clothes so i actually have something
to wash it off. speaking of...why does sunscreen has to be so
greasy & smeller? i know it is necessary but it's all evil. i feel like slime ball.
the only conslation is that everyone else is in the same boat. oh, boy! my
wife sure is taking a long,long time. by the way..does anyone knows why
the women restrooms are always crowded? i suspect there are some kind
of ritual going on but i always been afraid to asked...and while we are a
prefect match ..ok i admit [here only] that i got the better deal, there
are times i have no idea what's going on. the bathroom/restrooms are 2
of them. the way their body works are much more complicated by far.
and while i wouldn't claim they're God greatest invention, they're a close
second. here's a secret, there were 2 young ladies that i was vying
for..but the biggest drawing power to my wife was her kindness toward
others. oh,boy! did i make the right choice...and why i tolerate such
sneaknes. and she is that too. see? i really do know a little bout the
"make-up" of women. ..i should because early in my career was spent
making a few "deliveries". ok..i can make more things than making my
wife mad..it just what iam really good at. am calming down>..but she
still in there when i looked up..it those street preformers dressed in
turned of the century garb. they don't come near me..must have heard
my fake cussing..[i really try to watch my speech because we are in
disney world and i truly believe everyone has the responsibility toward the
"magic". here' a secret...doesn't the people around also makes or
breaks the disney spell? i do not one to be one of those unconsiderate
slob ruining the magic...]

some of our most special moments came from being nice to guests.
anyway the street preformers are just miling around... no tricks or
anything. maybe they're disney excutives out to have some fun? why?
because it struck me funny that they actually didn't do anything. that's
a job i'll be good at. and she still in there, must be a major event. so this
gives me time to look around. i'm sitting on the bench..its up against
a brick hall. the whole area is done like a sleazy back alley which i guess
is appropriate. however, it does not matches up the main road which is
always so clean that it sparkles. they must give that road alot of attention
..because we go back several times per visit and it always the same way.
and because Tot & rnr , beauty, are at the end [not to mentioned
fantastic], it is the way we begin our mgm's day. when i come to think of
it, this restroom is becoming a family tradition. the only time we have
started out in the other direction was '99. i wonder,does anyone begin
going straight up the toward the big hat? if so can you tell me what's
down there because in all our trips, we haven't made it. oh, you don't
know either..probably some guests forever lost. does that scares or excites
you? will they got to develop their cast members pool somwhere..you
know the people that are actual running the place.

how did i get into a "disney comteplating" state? practice/lots of it. let me
illustrate this from our mgm morning. my wife gets up..straight to the bathroom
[where's my kiss?]. then me and her again. to foodcourt but a bathroom stop over
at check/ in. then we eat. stopped on the way back.
in the room gathering up everything required....anybody got to go- she
asked. of course, it is the last thing we do. as soon as the bus lets us off,
she saying, got to go again. thenwe only made it half way down the road
and she knows this restroom by heart...i don't even blink an eye...well
3 mugs of coffee got to go sometime. are you with me? looking around
and thinking- has become a hobby when at disney. i am afraid to ask
the ladies reading..is this the norm? if so,i never going to marry again!
ahh to be free..really free..if it wasn't for all the bathrooms stops, iam
surei could do the whole park! but this is a family vacation and we do
everything together. however, i think this was how "freebird" by leonard s.
was written. too many bathroom trips at disney. my revenge is writing all
this..he,he,he ain't i the sneakiness of all?

finally she comes out..what happpend? did some one falls in? by the way,
what's this bout the sunscreen...she completely ignoring me because she
knows i don't want to be wasting time [heavens forbids]. she didn't even
apolozies..you knows why..that be admitting guilt. at least the sunscreen
kept me near the restroom instead of wandering off [something that lead
to an incident the year before]. one thing i got to say,our disney trips
has taught me alot of things bout my wife that i normally would have never
noticed. like,,,when she guilty and she "knows" it...she never say nothing
so i get bored on go onto something new. at disney this is very effective
because there is so much going on. and this is why even we get to the
parks early, every one are passing us and i never get those cool enterance
pics. dwats! i am not experiencced enough to have figured out how to do
this...wearing a watch does not help. so if you 've been counting its my
wife [21], me [0]. yep she always seem to win!

my little girl is so cute..bouncing instead of walking. she is such a happy child.
i didn't pay any attention but she brought along the miss
piggy from the ship. it's big and has a fuzzy/purple scarf thingy. guess who
gets to carry her stuff later on? here's a clue..it isn't her mother! speaking
of , my wife is dressing so ...styling. i loved taking their pictures. really!
he,he, forget to mentioned, we "dress up" for every park where we trying
to match its primary theme. that's us..looking like the people in the commercial..see
that's why i take all the pictures. blackmail material...so
in the end , i win no matter the score ! well , at least like to think so. some
pictures come up missing. we're not talking naughty pics but disney!

by the time we reach beauty, i am sweating..it's unbelievable hot for oct..
we've been here in august before and it feels the same. honey do you
mind carrying the pack for a little while? the look on her face was pricelss.
ok..maybe more than you care to know but this is the way we "do" disney.

yep,all of this and isn't 1030....first ride is the Tot. ok this is thru my eyes.
i always like looking around and taking things in. my daughter like making noises.
My wife like pulling and jerky me along...i take pictures of anything
catching my attention. disney always put me in overload. [no iam not talking
bout getting high--this isn't the car/chick!] the first thing is the cool
enterance sign. then i noticed 20 minutes...argh! and this was an early
start? there's2 cm greeter dressed in the ruby/red outfits...hey how come
you guys not smiling..they did /breaking "charcter". pluai got'em on video.
where's the guy from the travel channel? who? but their grinning gives
them away. last time we were here ,he was thegreeter and he had his
suitcase..talked about some cool pictures.and he does really neat poses.
he is "awful" nice and gives the ride extra character. i chatted with the
2 girls until my grabbed me..darn it honey! just a few more minutes and
i had them talked into carrying our pack. she pointed out 10 people passed
us. then we see our boys in the fastpass line..hey!..what do you mean
this is your 4 trip?.....ok we walk pretty far until we get to the courtyard
besides the fountain.it cool me down, all misty and all. is that a vase she
holding? and they're vines overhead. neato. we almost at the front door..
sorry..the other one is ringing.

 

[dmillerdmd]

Love your posts! You ramblin' guy-you! Was Elizabeth Montgomery "Honey West" or was that someone else? I just kinda figured you would know!

 

[DebIreland]

Lil' Grumpy, I love how you defended the woman on the bus that night. Good for you! I need to catch up on the rest of your report now.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

oh my gosh,,,your so right ..sometimes i cringe after reading. most
of which i am just sitting and writing. so when i recalling our trip
i am remembering my reactions to what we were experiencing...
is why thetopics are floating...and one of my favorites hobby is trying
to figure out my wife.
once on a previous
cruise ,someone was mean to our daughter at the til we met again
party. a nice lady from naples saw it, not us..and she took action!
she actual went to guest services and rip 'em.next thing i know,they
and thecharcters cam and met with our daugther. what a wonderful
person/ & disney for all their money motivation also go out of their
way to earn it...usually the cm on the "streets". i just beleive
[from our experiences] if more people got involved then those acting
badly would have more self control....

yep we still in the lobby of theTot...me trying to take a fewpics. doesn't
seem the line fliesby at the most interesting places? i like looking because
they sure give you the spooky feelings...i am surprise there isn't at least
one ghost lving there. the cobwebs are hanging all over the place. i think
there small fans blowing them too. i see the front door and wonder can
you go out to the front poruch? from there i cansee the lake. oh,boy!
they should do a halloween party at mgm! but that's not what thinking
now..we in the preshow room..the twlight zone...and i hear my wife
first...no honey, pretend. after every section i hear saying "pretend".
i know why too...she reassuring my little girl. want to know what
i am thinking of? ..when i was her age . my goodness if my kids only
knew the real truth..their father was a scardy kat...yep i been tricking
them as soon as they were old enough.. and that's was very early..
because all of our kids were tall for their age...she been going on the
beast since age 4..at disney since age 5. truth is..you had to dragged
me even at age 16...they'll killed me if they only knew... so if my kids knewhow much
i 've been tricking them..oh, boy! of course, i can trust you all not
to tell? funny the little reminders that disney brings backto our
childhood. wonder if it really is on purpose? see? it what one does with
disney that i think brings thememories..for everyone it different. you
just got to look..i used to not do this and now i think this is where one
wil find the magic. you think? enough..before i get over experieced...

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

here's i am racing again...yesterday section was completed before work.
so like always ,an english nigthmare. [ok reader's one too] but the gist
was all about taking the time to "feel" the effects. atlas..they haven't
always been so ..detailed. when we came in the 80's, rides like 20,000
leagues under was just an outdoor maze. in the 90's,i think the first one
that got my attention was the singing birdhouse at splash.back then,
the lines seemed to moved more slowly. [you could count the number of shingles on that little birdhouse-ha!] also my little girl first came in '99
but we did the switch off. [only 2-1/2 y/o] ..iam not one of those forcing
the baby on rides screaming..nope i wait until they're old enough to trick
'em. thirdly..your thinking why? why not buy another keyboard as they
are not expensive..well it kind explained how i was raised..we never replace
anything until it completely broke...[that's probably making all the thrifty
guys happy--let's say all the things zzub talked about made sense to me].
i think i have more duct tape than the average "jambore" bear. you do know
sellers deliberately add breakable parts? ha! they're not going to keep me
from getting my monies worth! and just becuse it drives my wife a little
crazy is besides the point.....she has to hide my repair jobs anytime she
has her ladies friends over. me telling "what the point-all the guys i know
is the same way"--makes her cry. why?

oh,boy! ain't am i sight? carrying a stained backpack, stooping without
noticed and being yell out by my..and my little girl [i know my wife is training
her in "husban/control]. whew! i mentioned this becasue despite all this i was
able to take some really cool pics inside the hotel room [cool=clear]. and iam
carrying everthing..except our digital CAMERA. and i [think] my wife water
bottles. [got to watch wherever i sit that pack down!]. why? dosen't she
trust me with the new/fancy digital camera..well let's say i could write a
whole trip report over losing/breaking mutiple cameras incliding "movies"-
isn't that price for getting those one of a kind [ok it should be self evident
iam into rationization-a condition that seem to have worsens with marriage
..something the guys can understand better...right zzub?]

board evulation... i am exposing alot of my feelings because of the
type of "personalities" i 've read bout. while some get into highly critical
topics, there are some very sincere/caring people trying to help others.
that to me is very impressive. and you have strong feelings toward your
families...all types. alot of people i know are going based on my input. i
try to stress that a disney vacation is an adventure with no 2 being the
same and that the things you don't planned will usually result in the most
precious memories. sure it is expensive but worth more than double on
every return..and that increases if one participates. rgarding you all....
what you give here is wonderful but iam hoping to encourage to do so
while you're doing the parks...because i think as a group, are the best
representation of walt disney primary objective was...family togetherness.
...reality is...my awareness came from finding someone to share/tolerate
"me" as aperson..in life..oh,boy!!!was i ever lucky.

what's tugging on my shirt... and whispering..is that "psst or xiss?".. then
i backto my senses..it is my wife.dwats! that turning circle during the rod
sterling presentation almost had me asleep. and that tuggging isn't an alien
[though in the dark *****ally knows--he,he she never reads these things]
my wifey poo,oh she is experienced in all of disney/world. so she getting us into position to be first...right?! you' all know the drill...when the doors
opened. we exploded onto the alley of doom...funny we are walking up hill
but the room looks like a basement. it's blurry because i better keep up if
i know what good for me..sometimes my sweet little wife... [here's a secret]
can be such a beast!! ok! i never say she was prefect! and while you guys
are giggling..iam sure you have never /ever changed in your marriage and
calling all the shots-right on! like 10%, if that suckers!!] well if that true ,
let's see your pics inside the Tot dungeon? that's what i thought..at least
this is a guy report. ha! i read carlady reports and it wasn't lost on me--
whispering in his ear & so forth...they're partying around the world on her
time schedules ...oh,boy! every guy should be so happy!

before moving on, i forgot..does anyone knows what the viewing room
suppposed be? what i remember most is the top shelf having alot nautical
stuff/ why? and that stuff owl that looks like he ready to swoon down.
and the volumes seem really loud? and they could have left a night light
on --for the kiddies...not that it scares me or anything. ok! this is for you
new generations that never expereinced a real outhouse...@ night. think-
they didn't build 'em next to the main structure for one/maybe 2 reasons!
and because of that came all the stories where people ran into the
"boogy man"..especially after watching late night terror therater. see what
you "youngem's been sheltered from. and no matter how much you beg,
whine or even cried..your parents push you out the door..by yorself! ha! it
kills me when others talked about parent forcing the kids to watched ittbb?
here's real terror!! see..look at me,still scar! dragging my kids all over
disneyworld. oh,boy..iam such a monster..inc. type.

as we walked up the alley,all of a sudden.. not preadator vs jason...
guests are shooting up from a side enterance. right on cue i hear my
wife screaming..no not crys of joys..more like labor [yes iwas there every
step of the way ]. heck no..she not going to let the crowders in front of
us [how our little girl keeping up is beyond me]. so we arrived at the top
huffy and puffy...excused me honey..isn't that our boys we've been racing?
yep,it's them ..fastpass and all. "let'me see those suckers but they know
better". oh,boy ,we all can ride together. so i asked thegirl and she say ok..
her's where i get it....from a cm. because before we get "loaded" [he,he
i like sneaking in some old lango--plural for lingo] the cm's are switching
off. wouldn't know it,we git a regular (). he told me we have to go
into separte elevators [think about all the fun i had that morning &
now this?]. so i git into a debate and iam losing badly. then i noticed
my wife giggling her. off. why? iam really confused because everyone
is laughing..that's when my wife/poo enlightens me..he's just toying with
you! how embrassing!!! thank you dear..for letting me make a complete
fool out of myself....see there's are legimate reasons for calling her my
wifey poo...i'll got back at the cm too..i didn't lock the seat belt. what
happened..the door opened and he git to lecture me...more embrassment!
so i guess it 's pretty obvious that the ride was anticlimiax? but alot of fun
all the same....to me it a smooth ride other then all the driving around..and
that's only because iam trying like manic to git a picture of us inside
the big eyeball. has anyone ever gotten one? then it's over and we came
into the ..lobby/hobby store [what u expect] . noticed? where u git your
picture how fancy it becomes again..sensory overloads. nobody does it
better. but i am so exhausted i got to sit...and there soft benches. but
to me this is the "real danger"zone. beacuse now while iam resting,my
wife is free...to shop. i can hear their [daughter too] squeals of discovery
between my moans.exhaustion or fear..take your choice.. oh, boy! what
a complete "ride"... so this is what disney refering to as top notch
experience? they're "git" ing you [us dads] everywhere... finally i am thinking, good old dad is gitting "it"..the all things disney ..maybe too much..now i feel
faint as i grabbed my billfold tighter......and i bet us "guys" misery is making
all you gals happy...really happy. yep,i find really fancinating how some
of you ladies are "giting" disny to feed your shopping needs... that's what
some of the warning signs should be stating. enough, i got to git some
kleenexs.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

hurry,hurry, hurry...not to stop my wife from shopping or buying [both lost
causes]. nooo..we had to decide where we will be eating after our cruise.
what's so weird..6 mos ahead. talk about your thread killer. but here's a
new one..us fighting over we're going to be eating. we're staying at the
contemporary [our little girl's choice/see saw the playground when ate
@ chef mickey.] how come you can't get the side of the a/frame ahead
of time? in fact they do that for all the resorts, only your place in a
location? ok,,does that count as a pre/trip report?

ha! have anyone been reading the cruise boards/wonder groupies, dated
for sept,17? i guess someone just got back from wdw,saw another gator
..and they're talking feeding 'em "marsh-mellows? i could be wrong but
i think real gators are more after what is attached to the marshmellow
...why do i think in the future some tourist is going be bitten?

there's goes our boys..after all the good fast/passes! like the old codger
said..youth is wasted on the wrong people...somehow they got fastpasses
for malestorm..over in epcot. just kidding,those are from last year before
we knew any better. we ride this Tot agian. it is fun and the line wasn't
long. as we go thru the lobby...did they apint everything brown..and i see
the cobwebs again. hey honey, what the chances the spiders are hanging
up above us in the viney stuff. it amazes me how fast my honey bunny
can hop when i mentioned that. hey, i think i just came across "here's a
secret" when we getting ready to go out. ..or to sneak around one of the women restroom... i cansee the stampede now. oh, boy!!!

out travel chanel porter isn't out front again!! dwats, he is the prototype.
even when he grinning, iam worrying. gosh, iwish i could have a "sudden
impact" face. all i got is thekind that disappears..in a crowd. anyway before
we head to rnr, i noticed 2 cute li'l girls in his place. dangnabit, this is where
my 2boys should be...i git the feelings if we are ever going to have grandchildren [to bring to disney], i am going have to help them out. and
i'll say this now..no girls going wild need to apply[ i don't like see others
be taking advantage and that what that trash is!] sorry but when it comes
to grandchildren its important.
...now here we are walking and my wife hollering
for me to keep up [howcome she wasn't jiggy wit it in the restroom,huh?].
honey,i think the cart lady has a tinker pin..for jordan. is that the heat or
steam coming from my wife?better hurry before she start backpeddling.
you know she a lady so she not doing "real" screaming like i did in mexico..
[ when i started snorking & then realizing the water was 15 feet deep
just a few feet out...and seeing our middle son way out there..yep i
did some screaming!..my wife told me later a mexican dad/son was
talking/pointing at me .."gringo". and did she think that was funnier than
the ak monkees?! and if she the "lady"..i guess my first born the tramp?
anyway the point is that her whispering sweet nothings are not very sweet
..so what do i do next? i start walking backward because rnr's pre show is
like mine..far from the main event. now she pulling and pinching while iam
"manurvering" the rolling toke chest bewtween us. wouldn't you know it
...some half topless woman spilling all over the palce walk by. i can still
my wife's steely [dan] eyes...keep focusing ongetting car pic..car pic ..
pixie chick..car pic...my wife is now pinching hard. [ want to know of my
secrets..i never got the picture. lucky we go right up the "MAZE" into
thecool air condtioned/display room. oh,wondering how i squeeze out
of that "3 seconds" from diaster? i blamed it all on samathabrown
...remember when she did the wildness lodge? what could my wife say..after all sam a lady too! [thank you sam girl!] . here's asecret, some ofthe stero equipment seen in the dispaly are in my basemnt...including reel to reel.
i even have the black light posters too. not that i ever used them, i'm
just a collector. enough..before i write something that really gives my
age away..

 

[Grammyof2]

Your family sounds so nice and I can tell you really love your wife and children.

You are giving away your age when you talk about those blacklights. I used to have one in my bedroom, many,many years ago. It was really a nightlight hanging over my crib

I wanted to let you know that you should check out the Dis yearbook over on the community boards. You made the yearbook so that makes you famous

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

dear granny..you"re not helping..my image..if you had a blacklight over
your crib...and iam assuming there are good "reasons" for your name..
that makes me ...older than the hills? have you seen pop century lobby?
darn, some of the display could/maybe were from my room. did you see
the life magazine when wdw opened? not only do i have it but mine is
in alot better shape...[i won't talk about the 1959 disnyland guide i have
..it's talked about future ATTRACTIONS...the haunted mansion. oh, no
i am begining to see why people actual take geritol? no!
p.s. you're very insightful..as there is a reason for emphasizing my wifey-
poo. ..that will be explained when we get to the crt. however, while i
"talked" alot, i really don't give specfics bout my family. iam very protective
of them...even my boys [though they're really are 6'8" and 250lbs/ and
in college]. sorry that i limited on proof reading...i started late and i
don't have much time...i have a community event that depends on me.
it's for children...and i won't let them down. so this must take a back seat.
but i am trying to shared what we learn [between the story/telling] that
i hope help others. p.s. my favorites are those adding their feelings
and their familes. [that mel...how impressive the ways she looks after
her family..or car girl showing young people some of the funnier things
for copules todo..while not so a princess..is just a dear toward her
family and zzub..talk about being a "real" man...supporting his wife and
family during their crisis. i can't tell how much i respect that.]

here we are again..at rnr showroom..crowded in with total strangers
watching some new rockers called areosmith. it looks alot like my
old room. ever used to have friends over and "played". however, i did
noticed no congo drums. i loved drums. well even at a very early
age i was good at sticks. this is a neat room and well done but..i thought
they should pick a more significant group of rock&roll...oh no you don't,
i know better to associate with something that could give my age
away. i also noticing some bad gases being release...is that on purpose
or..why do i find myself by strangers having little self control? my wife
and daughter are far away and in a diferent rows. they're not paying
atttention at all. my goodness..my wife is getting too experienced
with crowd management..she re-positioning herself to be the first out
the doors. now the pressure is really on me to keep up. as i been reading
some take offense when family try to reunite. [ i am hoping that i am not
one of those "line jumpers that others here been loathing abiout]. but
let me say this..it isn't fair on many fronts..women can "excused"
themselves to the front without any ptoblems. especialy when they're
with children. but a guy is going to get the dirity looks [some i have
seen are very impressive-iam going have to git a mirrow and do some
practicing]. well seeing my wife sneaking thru thecrowd ruint the
show for me.. my hands start to sweat. and you know, ihave the
rolling back pack to contend with? and trying to take movies and
pics-allat the same time. so next time when you see a struggling out
of line fahter..be like luimere & have a heart? no good,huh? what if
i start carrying my cane with me...any sympathy then?

the doors opened and like on cued the crowd pushed..i think all on me.
and just like that my wife/daughter are miles in front. even little kids
have passed me, right under my legs. i give up! but nobody listening
because i think they're adding to the air pollution effects. that
reminded me..during the showsomeone near made a ballon noise.
everyone moved and laughed out loud. except me..i was trying find the
stupid hidden mickey. don't you just hate it when others blame you
for their mistakes. and though my wife/daughter wasn't paying attention
to the show, guess what they asked me when i finally caught up?
i really didn't deserved the credit.

rnr probably has the most dramatic change over from show to ride.again
it is back to a maze system..in the dark. don't they know it makes
picsand movies alot harder to take? and it has a "dirty" feeling to it.
[besidesthedirty air]. it reminds me not at the lobby of a luxury la
hotel but of a train station in europe. and noisy! the limos are painted
a prety blue but hard to make out. here's a secret..i always wanted
to git [ziggy with it] my wife in the back seat just to see if see remember
any of my old stadium moves. [not yet]. iam taking movies..you know?..
where the cars are circling around .. and the blast off lights. i noticed
a cm waving and hollering..goody some action. but not the kind i was
hoping [getting on someone acting stupid]. i am his target...i guess
"no" inside the loading area? why? oh well, i start the dreaded catching
"up" process..sorry,sorrry sorry,..it's my wife fault...sorry,sorry my
baby crying for me...sorry ,your from where, sorry, took the wrong
turn...sorry, the cm told me to go here. and so forth, until i see them...
they're in line for the front row?! honey are you sure..jordan won't be
scared for life?..nope she said, "she the one insisting"....?...what have
we created...a trill seeker of henry potter classfication. for the sake of
hermione..she not suppose to enjoy the thrills...i wanted [little bit] scare
so she allow her daddy to comfort her. now i realized all this time
before, she been wanting to go on! dwats, i hate the magic being spoiled
..for me. i am missing the days when she used to seek her daddy when
ever anything startled her. she ain't supposed be tough like the boys.
so iasked her if she like a baby sister..oh,boy! you should seen my wife
face! it amazing how noisy it was in there but she sure pick that up..
and i was only whispering! so here we are ,they're in the front row and
i delgated tothe back...my lot in life. i really like how fast we rolled up
to the stop lights. i am always waving at the people comomg in...he,he,
iamahead of you! they waved back thinking i'm being friendly! and there's
aguy taking movies too..oh,boy! your going to get it so i'm trying to
get the camera in position but no cm coming over to him. what's with
that? some people!..are just lucky or ...i don't want to think about it.
unfortunately i should been thinking bout it...because we shoot off like
a flying witch! the front rowis screaming and so am i...remember i am
the scardy kat... in the whole family. and before i could take another
breath, there's goes my dcl visor. enough..thrillls for one day.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

i'm back...from the community boards. where are we? oh,yeah @ rnr
& in the front row [well my wife and daughter is]. i been delegated or
re-positioned...or whatever. i'm "acting" as if iam screaming for my
family benefit. quickly that illusion is ruint by my daugther..knock it
off daddy..i'm listening to the music! before moving on [100mph &
upside down].. just want to do a little review. of all the things that
were vivid on this ride, i still remember the cm approaching me with
his "anger eyes" look. [ because i was taking movies inside the "train
station"] what in the world could he been protecting..maybe he has
a friend in the control booth..doing something naughty? i mean i was
the only one....it's like being in an atomic sub.. the next time iam going
to pay better attentionto see if something ..naughty going on...that
he dosen't want to git out? has anyone caught something that could
make it on funniest home videos? have an of you been on it? ok, i
tried to take movies by leaving the camera on..bad idea. for one thing
to get the music, it needs to be right up against your head. even i
wouldn't do that- because where would your head be bouncing off of ?
oh well..i at least, i was only using the "cheap" camera...i carry 2-
quantity vs quality. so here we are..around and around we go. where
we stop no body knows! at the end i have stuff all over the place.
[i'll bet the next riders are going to be mad..too bad...because i like
how we git off where the new group are unable to see us. think of
the possibilites..if the those behind you line cutters? reminder:
desperate fathers don't count. of course, iam not paying attention..i'm a gatherin...but finally i get my seat belt undone. however, no body moved..has a fuse blown? better yet the young cm is asking if we all want to ride again? are you kidding?! let me out!!! who's with me? nobody is! that's who! and my wife is giving me one of those looks on top of that. so i slide back in seat and ..acting as i if i was kidding, trying to find the stupid seat back. enough, terror for one day..my hands shaking...what's that old saying..what's on person magic is another person...round of nasuea. got love disney magic...wonder why we got pick..i bet it was because someone in our group had been taking illegal movies and now the cm was getting back at the person.

 

[Darby O'Gill]

Speaking for the happy Irish out there.....I'm just as lost as the rest of ya reading this. lots of luck

 

[DebIreland]

Well I'm Irish and I love Lil's report Darby so off with ya to search for shamrock for next March while the rest of us enjoy the report.

Seriously, Lil' is great and his reports are good once you get into the swing of it.

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

deb Ireland...you're real Ireland..as it takes more than a name to be.
it's a culture and alot of feelings ..including pride! something i believe
in..something special..and a way of life. my baby is a irish dancer...
she gave her 1st preformance at 6y/o.. we don't used any wigs...
it takes over 2 hours to do the traditional hairstyle. when she turned
the corner on stage and the lights hit her hair, the first 3 rows in
front reacter to her...she knew..smiling from ear to ear... p.s. there
were many preforemers from the orginal "lord of the dance" also
putting on a "private" show with the kids... the reigining world
champion of Irish Dancing was her instructor.

mr. derby..why say saying without any meanings? maybe there been
a lil technical diffculties but i don't remember requiring anyone to read.
you like being mean? lonely,huh? f.y.i..as i stated plainly..my trip
report is how "i" expereinced our last trip to disney..and the feelings
it gave "me". what in the world made you think i was seeking your
approval? exactly who are you trying to impress? i/ve seen some
meaniness where the writer resort to the third person..you're not
that clever...yet. i think there a rule where one isn't supposed to
respond personally? of course, there are those...so please take your
garbage and dump it somewhere else... to keep Ireland green!
finally there are individuals that can't scratch their behinds without
making a mistake. iam sorry to have met you! don't come back...
don't say nothing..and please leave me alone!

 

[SoNotAPrincess]

Don't listen to ol' sourpuss...I'm enjoying your trip report and can just imagine the look on your face when the CM asked if you wanted to ride RnR again. Priceless! (Oh please God, don't let that happen to ME!)

 

[DebIreland]

deb Ireland...you're real Ireland..as it takes more than a name to be.

Thank you so much L.G. That just made my day. I don't want to call you Lil' Grumpy because you're the most UNgrumpy person on the DIS as far as I can see.... your family sound delightful and I love your attitude to those you love and your attitude to Disney. I'm behind with everyone's reports - I've read most of yours but I need to catch up on the last few. I saw my name on that post of yours so of course my ego kicked in and I read that one first.

my baby is a irish dancer... she gave her 1st preformance at 6y/o.. we don't used any wigs... it takes over 2 hours to do the traditional hairstyle. when she turned the corner on stage and the lights hit her hair, the first 3 rows in front reacter to her...

Oh wow!!!!! Tell her I am so proud of her over here in Ireland..... what a fabulous little girl she is and a lucky one too with such a devoted Daddy. I did Irish dancing way back in the 70s when it was very uncool and nerdy. I did tap dancing too just to balance it out a bit. lol!!! But then Riverdance happened and woah, it took off internationally. It's a beautiful dance and takes real skill which I admire, I hope your little girl keeps up the hard work!

mr. derby....... what in the world made you think i was seeking your approval?

EXACTLY!!! Isn't it just awful when people are FORCED to read something on the DIS? So tragic. Please don't let him get to you.

Keep up the good work pal....

 

[horsegirl]

Keep it up, grump! My folks have a cottage in Ireland and I've spent a whole lot of time there and I can tell ya' they love a good yarn, and your stories are sweet and dear. I love that you don't use the shift key or put in many spaces or paragraphs. You got a whole lotta dwarf lovin' fans.

and dwats! i know whatchaer mean thats the wee ones can't be doin all the iscaredfordaddyanymore stuff. I getcha dude peace out and keep on rollin here on the tr!

 

[sheridac]

its entertaining to me!

 

[Darby O'Gill]

All that attention for lil ol' me? Because I couldnt follow your rambling.....er' post? Good luck to you, but maybe some complete thoughts.
Please keep enjoying the wonderful world of Disney, but use the occasional period or two, would ya?
