Ask Me Anything: Ask Mikki.Young Anything

[pokemon_master]

Here is the second thread. There is nothing much more to say, although Mikki says that with her Father in law in Hospital ( for you at this time!) she might be on and off this week.

Some questions:

How long have you been with us?

How long were you lurking?

How is Father-in-law now? Any improvements from when we last Talked??

I think that will do. Although I expect this might be another case of where we all sob for the entire week (Carol think of something silly now!!!! )

Hey Mikki

I hope your father in law is getting better

My questions are :-

When was your first visit to WDW ?

Had you been to DLP first ?

Did you have your children when you first went to WDW ?

Do you like having photos taken with the characters ?

Do you like to get autographs of the characters ? (and don't blame the kids)

Joined in August 2000 apparantly. Seemed to have joined a number of discussion boards that year! Probably became more active last year here as the UK perspective is helpful. Not sure I lurked much before joining.

Father in law slowly improving, now out of the coronrary care unit and in a general ward. We still aim to go visit again but probably only once. I wasn't thinking clearly when I responded to your initial query about was this week ok, as I completely forgot I am away a couple of nights at the end of the week! Sorry!

First visit to WDW was 1987 for our honeymoon.
First visit to DLP was for opening day in 1992.
No children then or now.
Love have pictures with characters - just ask Figaro!
We did autographs once for a friend in the UK. Another time we did get them to autograph postcards for us to send (saved us writing them all!)

My favourite hotel at WDW is Old Key West in a one bed followed closely by concierge level at the Contemporary (only done that once but it was wonderful!)

I did a 3 night Disney cruise because I was lucky enough to win it.

Occupation: Very happily retired and I love it

I drive a Honda Jazz - my first ever Honda and probably the best car I have ever had

Would you do another Disney Cruise???

Where else in the world have you travelled to??

It was pure fluke - just a business card draw at an exhibition while I was still working. It was a DLP stand and I suspect they didn't expect anybody to fly out to Florida just for a 3 day cruise but they didn't know that we were always planning a trip out there!

I would consider another cruise because it was great fun - where else could you get a picture like this that was actually real?


Disney wise we have done Paris, Florida and California. Done around the United Kingdon and Ireland, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Greece, Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria and South Korea (the only place I have travelled to where I have been glad to find a MacDonalds!)

Hi Kaylee

Gosh, these are tough ones to choose!

Starter - a really good prawn cocktail
Mains - Mushroom fillet from le Cellier
Not a great dessert person so maybe yoghurt or icecream but the creme brulee at le Cellier is rather yummy
Non-alcoholic would be diet coke or orange juice
Alcoholic is the only easy answer - red wine

 

[pokemon_master]

Can't think of anything so a short one!

Did you have a good Bank Holiday? What did you do?

P.s. so lazy that it's going to nat as well!!

 

[jen_uk]

I dont know why but I always thought that you were only in your early twenties!

Anyway, what did you do before you retired?

Do you have any pets?

 

[pokemon_master]

While you work, what song(s) go in your head?

Don't tell me it's "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton....

Do you know what a Pokemon Is?

What pokemon would you like to be if you could be?

 

[Madjock]

Hi Matt - no problem short ones are fine - lol

We had friends visit from Thursday to Sunday and spent today recoveing - although I had my hair done today with fresh colour to cover all the gray!

Hi Jen

It's not the exact question but I will confess I am 46 but have never grown up

I worked for Barclays Bank for 26 years, starting in branches and finishing in head office. I think I changed jobs every year!

Our only pets are toy cats called Figaro and we have about 17 different ones of them

What pokemon would you like to be if you could be?

Well I don't work but while I play at my PC it is probably a Disney song or something from one of the sister act films at the moment - can't get them out of my head!

I do know what 'a' pokemon is but don't know enough to choose which I could be - sorry! Can I choose to be a DR Who assistant as a second choice?

Are you planning to visit the Tokyo park any time?

Hi AnneMarie

They all have good points but I think Florida has to be my favourite. I love the castle and dragon in France, the Matterhorn in Disneyland but for sheer choice Florida wins.

Favourite WDW park? Torn between Epcot and MK. Used to be Epcot but with all the changes maybe MK now.

Least favourite is AK - too hot and always feels crowded.

Have been to Universal but not since IoA opened. Keep thinking might go again but have not felt sufficient need to do so.

I would love to visit Tokyo as it sounds fantastic. Think I need a lottery win to get there!

Hi Sara

Advice - remember to enjoy each moment of your life

Regrets? Not that many really but sometimes wish I could have been more forthright with some awkward people in the past.

Happiest memory? Soppy, but getting married to my dh who is an amazing man

WDW memory - I think that may be when we got upgraded to concierge floor and presidents day room at Contemporary. My dh had been very stressed out from work and cross that we were swapping resorts part way thru trip and the room, view and service just put a much needed smile on his face
