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

[horsegirl]

Hay Lil G! Much love to you man! Thanks for your support!

I have been talking too much and not reading, so it is a quiet night and I am about to start catching up. Your's is the first!

I know what you mean about the French, sadly the are those that do not enjoy us as much as others. I did find a fair number of frenchmen that were unconcerned about my nationality! I so want to go to Disneyland Pairs!

The Germans are more tolerant of us yanks, but they are somewhat patriachical....

Now the Italians, there's a country that loves ya, as long as you have something to offer....

Keep writing- I am reading!
peace out

 

[kpk89]

Hi lil Grumps!
I wanted to tell you that I enjoyed your story of catching (or not ...) Tinkerbell. My dh is famous also for elevating the kids' expectations without realizing what the fallout will be if it DOESN"T happen.

Thanks for sharing your story!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

...it is reassuring that others dads made similar mistakes.
sometimes these experieces taught me how important my
children preceptions were..thru my wife..."output".

horsegirl..your pics are soo soothing and . what
you accomplishe is so heart warming... kpk89..sometimes for
fun..i keep reading your story..so many adventures...,oh, yeah
horset gitl my response was deleted..i really hoped that the
person wasjust carried away with anticiaption..as your story is
so brillant. i'mso happy to see others jump in so others will tell
their stories....anyone canjust keep to the "trails" but too me
it'sall about your feelings and your family reactions that makes
thesestory boards worth reading....& isn't that the core of disney?

i included the year before back ground for two reasons, ..one it setup
us getting first dibs at tinker...and an example how the f.godmother
bailed me out a mess....we entered the treasures room..no one is
around for the few minutes....but then there were several families..
all at once.....with the same expectations!! [my boys were already off
to know where but if i was them..i hinted were the girls went to!]
we saw the other family looks & their kids were dressed all up too!
noooo, all of a sudden..wakin ms bell was no longer the priority..rather
the kids in there....[oct.4,05] soooooo my wife poo took jordan aside
and did a brillant job explaining how jordan could grant her own wishes
........that even made her feel more special than doing the wakin..so
she asked the lady before hititng the box if the other kids could help
her??......next thing we know,there were a whole crowd...oh, boy!! this
was getting better than a minute! so we all [parents] started gathering
up crowns off theshelves.....one dad even jump in , his lil boy needing
an extra hand for suppport. he had to be position under the "box".
we got all kind of pics including thefather..who had one ofthe biggest smiles.
this was such a neat surprise that we could've never expected!!!! it made
the experience soo muchneater to filmed...and to have enjoyed..all those
princesses /and one pirate..gave me jolt that lasted all day!!!! to us,
this is what the experience wasmeant too be..and it wasall accidental!
sure wished we got weveryone names would been neat!!! but those kids
werejust too cute..kidsbeing kids...my daughter was iso happy..she soo
tall for her age..she really does look 10 or older but she only 8. however,
she loved how the lil princesses "look" up tpo her....
all around..... -< me!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

..to lil grammy and debIreland...my
computer went poof! but where ever you guys were today,
just wishin a very happy & mother day!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

.....i always check in on the other sites before here [for any info concerning our upcoming sept trip]..people ask the dangest questions sometimes!
yesterday was a bust..rain + puter crashin= camper!

i* never thought a trip report would be so doggie long! and it shameful
how much is being left out...so this expereince has been educational
in realizing those writing are focusing on a portion of what happened
during their vacations. soooooo a trip reporter are tellin bout what
disney "did" to them!!! good & bad! but tooo me, the worst parts are
coming from those reportin just the scenery...without any reactions to
others. actually, i never realized how much i was focusing on the "people
of disney--including the guests we met." then there are those i call the
"disney dooseys" or those with no respect toward others...we have lil
problems...mainly cos these situations sorta crossed over to the type
of work i'm involved with. in reality, a person becomes exactly what
they "practice"....[the behaviors they are chosing]...rule#1 the only
behviors you control is your own..soooooo..your reactions to
inappropriate behaviors will be the deciding factor to the outcomes...
redirecting works best cos most likely they are like the rude behaviors
they are displaying....just be glad you're not living with them......hint-
most often they fall into 2 negative groups/ bipolar/personality do/...
if they make you think.." slang for those you can't tolerate", they are
likely in one of these 2 groups....rule#2 the most effective ways to
influence others is a posiitve reaction. rule#3 if someone rake you for
no reasons..then it has nothing to do with you ratherthey "see" you as
their dumping ground. rule #4 it behooves a person to chose wisely in
letting things of lil importance "go". #5..it just as easy to give those
who you meet a reason to like you versus to dislike???? when i came
across those being rude..i already accepted the fact they knew
their behaviors were imposing on me..no need to point it out as
one can expect them to react defensive, usually attacking manner.
some mentioned on the "line jumping" thread they could cared less....
well don't worry...i laready knewthat..and most defintely would react
not with you..but with someone that can redirect your lack of respect.
#5. rude/aggressive/nasty behaviors are self evident..and sooooo
much they ruin..for themselves...afterall, the disney world
is produced by real people.

anyway, those are my tips for getting the most from a disney vacation..
i decided to mentioned them because i have read some sad interactin
on other threads....and to our family..disney world is our adopted "happy"
place!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

...soooo your thinking, "i bet the boys won't make it back in time for
crt?" oh,contar..if one thing you can't call my boys is late for supper...
or any meal!...

after waking up missy bell, iwas feeling sooooooo good bout the experience!
we met some really neat familes on the date [oct.4] and it was soooooo
neat to have shared our good fortunes togehter... and one of them
showed jordan the lil dresser where missy bell landed on a spool of thread!
that pic in her cindy outfit is one of fasvorites..she was "capivated" in
seeing tinker, and with her dress all "poof" out made a wonderul momnet
on film. the carsouel was in the back ground...some things just shout
disney magic! of coourse, with my pictures taking ability.. you never know
howthey going to turend out..my wife hasthe digital..& won't let me touch
it ..for just a few mishaps .

next we did the elphant ride..why? does it always have a line? oh,well...
@ least no rain yet!...beleive it or not, i got some really cool pics at
ride puzzlessection..[twirling pieces on a pole] ..and we got to socialized
with those poor suckerswith us..he,he,,he, theguy in front of us was
monster size...that's one benefit of being "regular" size..fitting in the
ride...oh,boy, i felt sorry for his elphant.. ...i was going get his
pic cos it has to be spilling all over the place. we talked bout having to
do these rides for our kids and amazing the excitment they created. yep,
some professional football player... and you wanta knowwhat elde is neat
bout this ride? the pics when you "riding" of the castles..i got
in behind my daughter/wife so that madethem even neater! of course,
my lil had to have the pinker elphant? and of course, she
gave "her" agirl name....dwats, i can't remember!

funny thing..the peter pan ride was near empty...so we rode it several
times...which reminded me..i was trying to get ride vehicles pics...
and the "people mover" almost ate me!...luckly i can move fast!
worht mentioning because my wife got a good laugh and that thing
could be dangerous if your not watching your steps! fun? it was! i
could see them circling around from the different sections so
we got to say "hello" in the dark!.. i also got to hear jordan pointing
out ariel! but what i remember most how the cast member "help"
jordan get properly seated in her poofy princess dress...she never
get tired of the "royal" treatment...atlas even though i put on my
"beggar" face.. the cute lil attendant gave me no assistance...even
with my mickey outfit & all!!! ..just for the record..daddy's
needs tooo!!!

jeez the time flies at magic kingdom..and soo we head over to crt...
taking pics of the rides "presentations" tops. first stop is the podium..
enough blabbering...............

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

..any report concerning crt should begin with this or !

why..cos it just is!.......@ the podium my wife was checkin us in..i,
of,course doing my manly thingy of checkin out the cute lil greeters.
across the room was our 2 boys near the steps, droolin! food & girls,
girls and food..now is there anything better? however, the place
was packed....i think mostly because the fairygod mother & mary poppins
were posing and signing. then it happened...the chines- ding dong
doggiety! [ok doggiety my impression]...and the door greeter "anounced"
our name! .. and . however, we don't remember
them doing that before? probably because before we always jetted right to
the bathrooms....and they're halfway up the stairs! and because it was
packed..breathing room only! we was unable to catch up with the boys..
it felt like the quel from [hmmmm]..inside the twlight zone! worst,there
were no tv shows. sooooo what didi hear..over and over? here's a hint
...diiing-rrringing & dooongs..from the chines..cos lil miss

kept askin her to do it [the greeter]. bet you people got
of hearing our name..or wondering if a bunch of families had the same
last name? me> while jordan was giggling all over!.....

ok...we didn't even tried to find the end of the characters' line...and
for that matter, who knows where that would be under such crowded
conditions??? i told my wife, no wonder peter pan was empty..all the kids
were here! lucky us, we're been here many times... jordan placed crt
on her wishe list from the time she could "look" at the pictures! dwats..
there one thingy of disavantages for lil girls...gettin this breakfast!
i still remmber the pressures when my wife first called 5minutes after 7am
...sold out??!!! and this was 60 days prior??? well the lady told her to call
@ 7am..again sold out??? what the ??? so i called to get the
lowdown & was panic to hear the news!!!! everyone,even the operators
had to go thru the same lottery game?? and we already wasted 2 of our
days! what they thought this was....melastormer ? where's
the fastpass line?? none??!!!! for the sakes of mel & all her boys!!! what
to do?..well i went to work before 6 am and lined up 7/8 phones. at home
we had 2 regular phones and cel phone...grandparents and even our
relatives, from iowa,mossuri, arizona, ..you the picture? and no one got
thru..except for me..but ididn't have the first clue on making a pr? but
i sure got to be the hero! ..in fact my wife kept grilling me
as if i was making it up..even checkin the number...my one son got thru
but was left in quel pragatory. the others were forced to eat "static"!!!
in reality, my sweetie buns was in tears! naturally, i had to go home and
reassure her with lil comforting ..she swears to rubbed it in!

ahh,those were the days!! [well my lil sweetie buns ...like most
women..has a split personality] which is a blessing of +
= one happy !!!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

..and of course,we had to say hi! to the mice on the ledge.
jordan waving her wand [fishnet] and commanding them to come
down! ...glancing over to see my wife makin that /
face again! hey! i didn't do a thing!..make one lil mistake and you pay
for it the rest of your life...ewho thought a jimmy cricket could be soo
wised. anyways it was so crowded, we were escorted to the elevators
to go "up"...and we were squeezed with several other families..with
several princess all dressed to the hilt!! [to get to the bathrooms you
had to take the elevators and go down--the up "stairs were blocked off
for reasone unknown?]. but how often do you get trapped on an elavator
with a group of disney princess. [that's what every lil girl remeinded me of-
even more then the other ones]...therfore, i had to say it out loud....
how lucky it was for us guys [2] to be surrounded by so many beautiful
princesses! that's all the lil es needed to hear to transform
into their best lil royality expressions. then the door opened and we were
all scattered around the grandest of all disney dining rooms! we eneded
up in the middle!! whoaaa..which meant in all the times we have been there,
we have always been seated in a different section. neato! for getting
basck groundpics!!

flashback!to the begining... here we go & why it was important to give
the intro i di..however, i wasn't playing on havin to "fight-defended"
the way i was trying to "do " this report..........anyway..my intro minus
the confrontation was for this very experience....which was the highlight
for the whole trip! enough, expressing my true feelings!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

... i feel like crap workin nonstop x24 hrs.....however,that
just bout paid half of our upcomin cruise.....yep> me. a greeedy miser,
soooooo you know i just love mr. duck!

here' the lil family ..me [wild & guy!], my wife> is all lady
..and yes i easily fill the tramp's and best of all she is a lil
dollbaby... in all the delightful ways. [ ]! our lil combination
have been blessed with , ,
and we have spent some 25+ years doing some wild /crazy things
inclduing disney...................

crt: inside the main dining room...it seem i take the most unsually
pictures compared what i seen here....i don't knowwhy..it just the
weird stuff catches my eye... anyway i took a picture of the light fixture
that came out beautiful........

crt..it got to be one of the hardest setting for pictures..it dark and
alot of shadows..the lights are hanging high....they have squeeze
as many tables possible in that lil space! it behoooves one to work
with your table mates in order to do quality pictures................
and the help of the servers can make or break this experience!
and then everyone is moving ..either eating [like my boys],
posing or serving! redirecting to the a secured background improve
your pictures outcomes...while it was neat to have been rotated
all around..each area had its challenges...the middle being the worst!
what worked for us was facing toward the elvators..it was all guess
work but thepic came out great....we alos got the boys up against the
suit of armour..including the one downstairs!

but ahhhhh..this isn't anything special, hust observations. ok? this one
time i gave it a whirl of trying to set up something a lil extra special
for my wife [ ] ..and for that you need a lil history but it's
back to the slave pit for me....

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

..ahhh, my baby just saw one of our wedding pictures...
who's that hippie with monnie? yep , he was a regular
bandit! ..but really ! don't ask how many years
ago... but my lil haven't age a single day!

now we're at crt..[refixie dust!]..but to get our lil expereince....
must include spring 2005..i'm @ the dining room table when my
wife "busted in" [he,he, a lil melons reference ]....."what have
you done?!...i had stripped our kids' stitch's blue & princess pink
autograph books. "they were brand new". ..me> "trust me!"....
she left shaking her head. later she said... why waste time
tearing up the books..no one cares how they look anyway!"

"well you're probably right but its relaxing for me to do these
lil projects for the kids"..lying like a ..because i was doing
it for her! ok, you know the autograph books has places for
pictures but they are so limited and small. what i did was ripped
pages out and redid them into a lil minature scrap books..
including someof the cutest baby pics & my wife..all the way
til the present and......all of their disney trips/favoriet
momnets. + + =

ok, sorry to brag [heck no!!] they came out really neat..........
and they're done for this breakfast..and you know how tricky
that can be?! fingers crossed + my lucky for
this to work a lil magic for ..who you know you..

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

crt & mickey bars sorta makes up all my
lil girl's disney dreams. it should be noted that if it wasn't for
my wife persistent nagging we would have never made it...
what you mean 16 $ for bkft?! each! i wasn't a bit too happy
when i first heard about character dinner. my wife pleaded and
pleaded. finally i gave in. our first was garden grill....it was a
rsounding sucess and we been going ever since. then we had to
learn bout crt,the hard way! what you mean it's all sold out? you
called 3 minutes passed 7. let me called disney and figure this out.
sure enough, she was right agin......so to say thanks [to my wife],
i redid our middle son and our daughter autograph books..into
these neat lil "family albums" with the focus on our previous trips.
i even made a "crt section with a princess room..remember we
have been in all over the dinning area...so i had princesses from
every different section. the front was of course the castle..
proceeding to the rear of outside the resturant. to get it all in
it was made like an insert that flipped out....[i never done so
much cuttin & pastin since kindergarten]...and like i said before,
i included my wife in some of the cutest pics, holding the kids
when they were babies...[remember the only good thing i do..
have cute babies?] ..and i while i 'm no professional, i have
caught her in some really cute pics playing with kids.....so here
we were, doing the rotation thingy. jordan is always excited and
the boys were already onthe second plate. aurora was first..and
was trying to get her to noticed all the extra pics but she just blew
it off...oh,she signed the bookand made the traditionally calls but did
not noticed a cotton pick thingy..,not event the hidden mickeys!
dwats! this wasn't going as i had hoped but nothing was prearranged
so that's the chance i was taking. jordan told her a couple of jokes
we made up and she did make over being so beautiful...however,
i wanted more...i even made the boys stop eating so they're could
help me take pics..all they did was looked . dwats!
my wife was enjoying being right again!! remember, she thought
my project was all about jordan.... oh,boy..that was bout
to changed..thank goodness... or i never be able to brag
again....

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

....ok, all 3 previous times went ker put! would'n been so bad
but @ the very end! this explained why i havin so much trouble gettin
thru this!..however, one thingy bout writng something based in reality,
it's easy too recall! [easier]

ms. girl!..[DebIreland]..i read your input from "have you
been shock"....you are true "green" irish girl! and you brought back
from family memories......yes! our cars had st.chrisopher medals/
sacred hearts and my mother rosary hangin from the review mirrow!
sooo in paris, i had to lite a candle by the stain glass "rose" in the Notre
Dame cahtederal!....at home we had a stereo console that formed a
cross in the front panels. i can still see my mother kneelin & saying
her rosary..every day!!! ironically my father won the money from
asingle hand of poker...i just happens to think faith is what we
beleive in our hearts & souls!therfore, our destiny is determined by
how we chose to practiced our beliefs! while disney is all about
celebrating our families values..they first must come from our homes.
thank you for bestowing the gift of insights here! your input helps
me understand what was important from our disney vacation!


back at crt, we are chowing down..well mostly my boys. as they missed
an eating oppturnity! i'm sorry that this isn't easy to read..it's very
hard to described an experienced based on an expression of love....
also i was taking a big risk, as i never really got into disney magic.
[other than what it did for my children/wife]. plus i needed the princesses
help but the only clues were in the autograph books. aurora took the wind
out of my sails....and i really didn't think the others were going to be any
different. my wife lookin over said, "see? i told you so"..it's very important
to note that she never saw the books and thought they were made up
for the kids...she had no idea that the real focus point was her! [and
her being a mommie]. i was trying to snaek her motherhood in. i was
basing it on the fact that the princesses being young women would
"recognized " their dreams! [having their own families soemday]. and in the
hustle and bustle..i knew this was going to be "iffy" at the very best!
and remember, we talking about a guy who had no idea/talents/or
experiences doing a scapebook! what i did, was to do the
thingy i most do when confronted with a new unexplored "terrority"...
i referenced it tooo something i did knowe bout! anyone remembered
the old tv show "it'syour life"? where they surprised the person with
scapebook of ole friends/familes and accomplishments? well that
explained the autographs with just one lil addition..i added our disney
experiences going back to the mid 80's...[i left out the 70's on purpose
though i did include picsfrom my old mickey mouse club!
ok, ive been around for a few years! .....

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

....dwats, i was pountin @ crt..good thingy i kept
all of this secret...the kids paid lil mind to all the junk i crammed
into the books.....and here come snowwhite.....this time i just
handed her the thing! i forgot they "look" for their "plce" to
signed..and by doing so gave this reaction when she flipped through
the pages:
...she made the connection and started interacting with my wifeypoo,
who was caught by surprise!!! i wish i could paint the lil girl face
she made! me> Ha! they wouldn't noticed! and my lil
jordan smacked in the middle smiling all the way! snow white was
entralled with the baby pics......and it was soooooo appropriate as
my wife could have been snow white herself....[i rahter skipped me,
but knowing the enquiring minds..the beast> forsure!] well, at least
iam smort enough to recognized what i have! why?..make no misatake
about it, i always saw going to disney as a family "chore/duty". yuck
all over was me, i exceeded asbeing a great lil killljoy! but my beauty,
never waver, my lil ,she was!! it is most true..that
at the alter..i was really thinkin of bookin it!!! then i saw her on her
fahter 's arm....."radiant"!!!!!! me? you don't beleive?
jus the other day, jordan asked who's the hippy with momie at the
church? [in fact, all my kids reacted that way!].

 

[DebIreland]

Wow! You made that book LG? Fabulous idea!! How very sweet!!! So glad Snow White clicked that it was a special book for your wife. You are *SO* romantic. And don't be telling us different now ok?

..i read your input from "have you
been shock"....you are true "green" irish girl! and you brought back
from family memories......yes! our cars had st.chrisopher medals/
sacred hearts and my mother rosary hangin from the review mirrow!
sooo in paris, i had to lite a candle by the stain glass "rose" in the Notre

thank you for bestowing the gift of insights here! your input helps
me understand what was important from our disney vacation!

Awww, you are too kind! Amazing though that you mention Notre Dame Cathedral in relation to parents and family. When hubby and I visited Paris years ago, we brought back a coin from there for my Dad - just a simple coin with the Cathedral engraved on it. But my Dad liked it a lot and kept it on him in his wallet all the time. Whatever it was about it I'm not sure but he loved it. So when he died, this was the one thing I wanted and still have and I carry it with me too. I see it regularly in my bag and smile when I think of him. Such a simple thing really, inexpensive, not fancy, but for some reason it meant a lot to my Dad. I just thought that was amazing there that of all things you'd mention Notre Dame in relation to memories and loved ones.

So tell us more, was your wife thrilled about the book??

Oh and I understand when people don't like to share photos of their families on the internet so no problem if you can't but I would see to see some pics if you wanna share!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

....crt...i like it for the excitment coming from families & their
lil ones. i like disney for alot of the things found here. it reminded me of
one of the moody blues' record covers...where there's a lil boy gazing
inside, what looks to be his grandfather's hands cupped together...
the artist version..too me..are the wonders of the world decorated
like "toys". mr. disney is like the grandfather and the magic of the world
are the things found at disneyland/world! it is from our experiences in
life that fine tune our senses where we learn to appricate the bestowment
of our life blessings. lil things can be fill with a]. true meanings and b].
great values especially sharing a special memory. what i
so much by many stories being share here..is about the feelings mr.disney
gave them. you have done this elouquently & on many occassions. your
father's memory couldn't be trusted in better hands! that is, you- yourself,
appricating the meanings behind the token..i'll bet he cherrished.. that his
daughter' feelings toward him.. made it into a token worthy of any other
treasure on earth! what is value? you just defined it! i bet he knew he
was very lucky indeed, for havin a daughter more precious then gold! ..soemtimes i think it is better not to become complicated in
our ways of thinking....holding onto our first ways of thinking can pick
up insights that are too quickly moving pass....my parents have been
gone for many years....yet they had 10 chuldren..which every one
were composed from parts of their bodies/souls that are still living
life... a long time i used to seek the reason why the bible felt it was important to listed generations....i do beleive their is a connection
that makes the ways we chose to live our lives very important....the big
pic is sharing our family times with the things/people disney has to
offered..soemthing that was meant for the all world to belong too.


crt..my wife was very but since it was bout her, i knew
she would not need an orientation...........snow white must have came
from a family where such values were also played a role in wanting her
to be a disney princess!hooray for her!... immediately she started callin
her friends over..yeseven aurora..and of course,they're lookin confuse
too! don't you just like surprises... for everyone? when they started
askin questions, my wife tried to redirect them to me while i deflected
them back! that made her a lil worry & as if i was setting
her up...actually i was..but not like she thought..she didn't know it,but
she knew the books better than me..the "girls" [ for short],
reacted as you might epected....like lil girls seeing the princesses the first
time..or at home with their mothers...reverse like the roles they portrayed!
yikes, duty calls..........

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

...me and this computer are having an epic battle....
it is especially tough when i ran out time for corrections.
however, it also been a pretty good learning experience in
learning "computer" writin. and typical, i always take the road
with most "potholes". 2 mos writing one week at disney? good thing i
didn't include the cruise, huh?

here's a secret ...i sometimes will used the cameras to watch what
really going on. [kind like takin the time to smell the roses-disney stlye].
my reward? is being "elf like" & enjoying all the attention being bestowed
upon my wife, lil'girl, and even our boys..yes! they put their forks down
for few lil "cuddle" pics! maybe some day they're appricate all the fun things
i forced upon them?

before i forget..again..about pics? my wife is very concern about postin
pics..even on a disney site. i will ask her but it something i better not
do on my own...if you know what i mean... . i got to admitt,
the things seen on tv with predators cannot be taken too lightly. i think
young adults are being preyed upon is often overlooked...too! 18 to 25
is very vulnerable.

back at crt, my wife was trilled how the princesses were thrilled with
her mothering pics..taken by me [ i might add!]....but being romantic i am
not so sure...because it is more like something passed down from my
parents. my mother loved tracing our family history and my dad was
always into surprising her..so combining the two made sense...but i had
no idea how this was going to play out..sorta experiencing with mixing
chemicals. ohhh....while my wife is sooo sweet..she has this "time bomb"
side that she keeps well covered up. and especially not in public, so
this made it alot easier...to be brave. [ i learn early on, embrassing women
is not the way to get the attention a fella's desire]. so here my wife
explaining the books and jordan right there adding her input.we were
lucky they were changing sessions over...so they got to spend alot of
time together. the whole bunch [of princesses] were into it by then! yep,
even aurora caught on with snow white's help. i just took the pictures!
i could tell when my wife mentioned jordan, cos she burst into the biggest
smile. but, i don't mean to leave my boys out...though they were not
nearly impressed. ha! say what you want...boys like more attention then
most girls realized, it just all in the presentation! and then they were
the baby pics i selected. we had the cutest babies you could ever imagine!
really? our first made it a bit overwheming going out and drawing crowds!
true. then even though our second was the lil terror in many ways, there
were good reasons why penney used his baby pics..finally our lil
jordan...causing a new baby craze on the maturity ward. the so call
gerber baby had nothing on her! later, her flower pot pics would make
any heart melt. what so funny, jordan thought the baby pics in our
3-framed display...was all of her! well if you saw their pics, you 'll understand
why too. however, that seem so unlikely since our baby days covered 20
years...oh,boy! where as the time has flew by!

but the point here? not only have i 've been gaining new knowledge but
new applications too... the "set up" was based on the princesses being lil girls
once, having baby dolls and the such. therefore, i just made the suggestion
and they did the rest! what a sharin experience it was for all of them...all
started by my wife's gift to me a long time ago...sometimes history repeating
itself can be a good thing? if hadn't worked than the kids had a lil extra
autograph books... so really it wasn't too hard for me. and haven't you
ever wonder how the princesses were when they were little? that day gave
jordan and my wife a lil peep! it was wonderful to watched.

nor did the princesses disappoint...especially snow white. she told jordan
how lucky she was to have had a mother... caring so much to have
made her such a wonderful treasure book??? my wife agreed......oh, honey
bunnny , i asked her? well she didn't want to spoiled the magic
for the princesses....think about it..that's my wife, so sweet that she a
lil sneaky....

.........it's pretty obvious that the computer is beatin
me to a pulp! [fiction or not]...ok? us = me, wifepoo [ alias lil
missy cutie pie ], son# 1 [the missin ghost buster], son#2-
[can be too much lik stitch] and the baby [the biggest surprise
i ever had & can sing part of your world lik ariel]..................

the "review"....there really no way i can explained how well crt
went... for my wife. [she had no idea that i was trying to set her
up.] and it didn't help that 3 of other reviews were wiped out?
..i hate technical diffculties.......! in fact, the only good
job i've done was to have butchered this report!...but i'm hoping the
educational parts have made it at least..useful in some ways. lik the
gators warnings, and some of the benefits of seeking out the regular
disney workers.

magic? if you knew my wife and for her to be the star made my day!
months before, she thought i was wastin my time but the expectations
were not for herself....i wasn't sure in the middle of all the commotion,
if she heard what snow white was tellin jordan [remember] all of
the princesses were around her. "oh, jordan you are such a lucky girl-
having such a wonderful/caring mother". jordan...yes-i already know
that!... i was watchin my wife face and she didn't blink. instead she
kept to the "story tellin"....so that's why i made my "honey bunny"
comment....nor did she blink again...."oh, i didn't want the illusion ruit
for the girls [princesses]....in her mothering way! that response told
me she "got" it as soon as snow white made it and she enjoyed the
extra attention............there was nuthing else to say and i haven't
since!

ok, deb o' Ireland...my wife said yes so when/if i can figure how to
post a pic..i will! and i will post of of jordan Irish recital pic....just
for your ol dancing days! fyi....i was gettin out our old 50's 8mm
films so i can transfer to dvd... the bank girl [safety deposit box],
saw some of our kids babies pics...the ones i been referencing too..
"oh my..they're just beautiful"!..........yeah,look at em' now...6'5"
& 250+lbs! the # 1 reason for a safety deposit box..you can't make
em' lil again!

From reading this long-winded TR I can admit: It's clear you are experienced. At something. I think. However... I think you are also lost.

Come look for Me(l).

Just try and be good. For once. Geez.

Here:

Cheers, my friend, Mel.

...ok twinkle toes....actually i used to be pretty light on my feet!
you ghostly ghooly girl! and a lil

oh my, i been so tied up..we took our boys white water rafting...
soemthing we hadn't done since our pre-kiddie days!! and of course,there
wereplenty of smarty college types..and it became clear after the first
rapids...we went ahead..to get into position to pulled all the so
called experts out of the drink!!! the river was you-ghlo--"hen-y"
ok, me thinks someone had one tooo many cominmg up with that
name!..[good thing, he wasn't a disney?] in pa....boy,oh boy
did we have some fun..and we were the only raft to not have had
any "swimmers"! ..some i caught lost the clothing... [girls]...very
indeed! but my boys like the show!!! .........
but what 's soooooo neat.......sharing something with our kids
when were yungesters [experts].


ok..in the lobby at crt, we were appoached by one of the servers...we
met going in.......she had a gift,,,a pair of crt mugs with their emblem
on front...and we got the privilege of learning all bout her...she was
just darling! also the crowd had disappeared! hoooray! and
our dearest fairy god mother was there & mary poppins! she remember
jordan..and asked all bout her tinker bell stories........and she told
jordan bout lil girls that used to visited her and now working for
disney..as princesses!!! me? of, course, i'm messing with the cameras
and with that delay, our boys escaped from doing more pictures!
[dwats, i hate how they caught on!]......and she "loaded" down jordan's
tinker net with fairy dust! lifecouldn't been better?? however, guess
who had to carry allthis extra...magic! one guess!

pausing.... lookit..who'lil//mis/cindy/whoooooooyou! callin me longest
winder????!! be advused, that this actually the short version..i didn't
remember thepart of ringing the chines...dddi I? ha! and if i didn't
had to "fight"with the computer controls..ovwer almiost every letter...
hemp!!!

anyway we finally made it out the door..but as fate would have us..
we'll be back! later that day....because of one of our naughty boys!


ok..we have an ariel type princess...do you think we could miss
the gratto? really? unfortunately it started rainy...but my wife's smile
was the prefect...my reward? well yuo my not think this....but i
never tell cos..i the prefect gentleman..alright! this day only!...but
my wife did something she rarely does.....? want to know?

but she'll killed me if she knew i was pukin my guts out! sooooooo
let make that rferenceto best home cookin you ever did imagined!

 

[Lil' Grumpy]

...lil by lil, i think i am getting the hang of it....it's weird to put
something on here...but i think the best approach is to present
your story as if you are talking person to person...and then
add the details as necessary..like my reference to the fairy
god mother was about the same person we met before....it 's
one of the neatest thing..to meet a cast member from a previous
trip* [ that's a tip].

ok,meeting ariel has been an on going highlight since our "diaster" in
99. [a thief stole our camera & jordan's first pics..even with serial numbers
it never came up..which i knew...because it was taken out of our carry
bag! ...so that started a journey where we ended up meeting ariel
on the wonder! [show/disney dreams]. diasters..sometimes lead to bigger
and better thingys,,,cos you would 've never done without being placed
ib the situation. * so here's another tip..if something goes wrong, do
seek out cast members for support..even if you have to bounce around.

lil ariel..we always seem to make it right up front when they do the
"changed overs". and we always been so lucky to have some special
memories..but i am going to regress to our 2002 visit...for what happened
afterwards. it's the one where we met a nice couple on the lil boat
back to the lodge....and the lil girl who "just"had to sit besides jordan.
she thought our daughter was the real ariel..[my all time sweetest moment]
....it sorta our traditions to make copies of all our photo..sometimes 3/4
that we send in for 2 reasons...so they get the right person & to say
"thanks" to the individual..even regular cast workers. * here's a tippy
poo [boring i know].......it's wise to pay attention to your children after
coming home. they picked up lil thingys that you may not realized and
will include their reactions in their play. so here i was finishing our letters/
babysitting too.....and i see jordan had made herself an "ariel' costume.
she had all the stuffed "disney" characters in a line...at first i didn't
get it.....then she started singin part of your world". see? she was ariel,
and the stuffed characters were the "kids" coming to see her! this
time! i did take pictures..and they came out prefect!.......this was soooo
special because she made up all of this story line..from her interactions
with ariel. and you should have saw the way she did the song..with all
the hand jestures ..down pat! so here we are re-living this with 2005
ariel, and she trying to coax jordan into a presentation.nope! jordan wanted
to do the part where ariel lost her voice to the sea witch? it's funny but
once your kid makes up their mind, nothing changes it! that's our

though i been leaving it out, we still are "hitting" every rest room around!
it is steamy..and therefore, the rain was welcome! after ariel, jordan was
getting soak so we changed out of her princess [cindy] costume! what
the heck, throw it and her tira inside my "ballooning rollin trunk". while the
mugs were neat ..nothing like having glass inside...and the pressure to keep
them from breaking. ha! that crazy "earring" guy doing the EE travel chanel
show had nothing on me! [you know where he tried to pick the natives
packs?]... and all dressed in disney clothing.

with that off we go..to the rides...
