Here we are everyone
Our last half-day at WDW.
It is a sad one. Too sad to tell or to muffle with raunchy humor
but Ill do my best.
I dont even feel like bringing out the melons on this one
but how can I let you all down like that?
I wont
I couldnt. It aint right.
do you want to see a stupid picture? Here is the worlds most useless picture:
GEESH
Exactly who did I think I was???
Deb Willis perhaps?? Good Grief. At least I could have taken a picture of Mr. Harry Crack at some point....
if I ever did have my own website no one could go there for any real info...all they'd see is a bunch of pictures of......
THE VERY EDITED VERSION BTW...
well anyway...
Oh BTW...DO NOT FEED THESE ANIMALS:
it says that right on the napkins there at the Poly...I read it myself after 4 days. I thought I was like Snow White or something...birds magically eating out of my hands....sorry but I honestly had no ideas and I am blonde...
what?? what signs?? I did not see any signs....until the 5th day...
They love me...mean it...
Sorry. I'm baaad...very very baaad....
We get up late
surprise!! And we have nowhere to go. We get a phone call from lost and found. It seems as though someone has dug my dds lost
crocs out of the trash there in the MK. Scott, the guy at lost and found, tells me to come to LAF
and come alone. Do not leave a trail and no wiretaps and no one gets hurt.
Ok, no that didnt happen either but it would have made for a groovy story, right?
So we all pack up our useless belongings. We purchased so many whirly twirly light up toys I am afraid for our safety during the flight
This is a shame people: I bought nothing for myself the entire trip. I got nothin to show for my vacation except for that Poly DMVC contract they call refillable mugs.
Length of stay people
that is all I am going to say on that. Besides
if you want your monies worth, have five people share one mug. I swear they need to print a maximum person usage rule on the mugs because after my family leaves there, we have had our fill of hot chocolates, sodas and coffee creamers. I think this is also key in avoiding weight gain on the dining plan. The back and forth ten times a night was great exercise for me and gave me a chance to get out alone and look around.
You know as a mother of three and a wife of a man, sometimes even a 10 minute car ride to a root canal is a huge break. Right?
Did I mention we stayed at the Poly during our one-year anniversary? Yep we did!
We received a very special anniversary photo of Mickey and Minnie on our 1st anniversary! It came in a cute little picture holder with the Poly emblem printed on the front! It was very special and was very magical.
Our wonderful TA arranged for a delivery of a bouquet of flowers for us too
in a REAL DVC mug
a pretty cobalt blue one. That was very sweet of her.
She couldnt find me some cheap airfare this time so I had to go out on my own for my August trip. I ended up saving 700 bucks in air
well not really because its all going back to the Poly now
Yeah
I am sure you have all heard by now.
Say it with me: Pushover. Spoiled. Arrogant. Neurotic. Bratty. Melons.
That sums it up right there but dont be going all you are such a deluxe resort snob on me here. I get the cheapest room I possibly can at the Poly and that speaks for my economical side right? If we want a view we hike our tails to the beach
which is fine with me anyway.
Actually, I only wish I had taken more pics of it because I would love to post them right now
guaranteed in August
tons-o-Poly pics from Polymelonmom!! Truly
even though the lagoon is pretty much a nasty, mucky rendition of Iowas most prestigious lake
it isnt all that. But there is something to be said about the atmosphere there and I cannot imagine you would get the same feeling from the beach at the GF or CR. I have to believe there is something very special there at that Poly beach.
And if anyone finds a Verizon LG camera phone in the sand there at the Poly could you please contact me?
It seems I loose a cell phone on every vacation. Its true
lost one there at the Poly
Vegas (ok yeah we all know why
) and even our Mall of America trip a few weeks ago! DH just has me set up on a credit line at the Verizon store
I am not kidding about this folks, he does!! Only I get no extra shopping privileges with the credit line because once I almost ordered the rhinestone-encrusted phone with the tiny little Mickey cell phone holder. Only dh wont go in the store anymore because the sales lady asked me one day while he was there if I was on my dads plan!!!
Seriously
does he look like my daddy??
to which he replies "yeah her sugar daddy" and we both crack up laughing and then kiss and make out right in front of the poor lady!!
Hilarious I tell ya...a hoot and a holler...
Sorry
there I go rambling again...woops
.
Ok here we go
.
We go to get on the monorail. Scott tells me to go to the animal holding cells or whatever they are called
kennels or something like that
doggy daycare maybe?? That happens to be at the TTC. So the lost and found is not one of Disneys best places to visit lets just say that.
I give the LAF my name and tell him I have some items to pick up.
I am so excited!! I am about to get MACs pink crocs back and just in time too
ahaha she thought she was getting a new pair
NOT!
He comes back with a sack.
The sack has the neat little laminated card that I made for one of my kids before we left, you know: name, age, address, phone, resort, allergies, blood type, shoe size, all the good things. The idea was that if my darling little angels were ever to get LOST (see page one) then they were to go to the nearest CM and give this card to them
the very card that is now here at LAF. Great. Nice.
The nice round guy, who must not be a native Floridian because I remember him and very pale and ghostly looking (maybe just a buzz or hangover who knows) hands the sack over to me.
It has our name on it
our resort
or telephone number
.
Only its really heavy.
Raise your hand if you have Crocs
Now guess if I have the right bag here
.
Ummmm
. apparently some scantily clad teenager lost her very wet teeny tiny tank top, bra, panties and some shorts even too tight and too short for me
thats pretty short btw. And the tank is too small.
Melons.
And to top it all off
they are all soakin wet.
Yeah the guy gives me a bag with soakin wet clothes from a teenage girls body. And on the bag in big letters someone has the word SHOES in big black letters.
OK, I am no Paris Hilton of the Croc world here but I can tell you THIS is not a pair of Crocs.
I can also tell you I bet some teenage girl was in serious trouble with dear old dad when she got back to her resort that night.
She probably put the word Magic into the kingdom.
LAUGH if you want to but the Philharmagic Family is in serious trouble in about 6 years. Three daughters all within 4 years of each other
Look at the pose of my oldest...nice huh?
I for one, am not laughing.
Can I just say now those dogs suck?
Yep.
IT GETS EVEN BETTER:
Do you know how many people are on the resort monorail at 11 am in the morning? Not too many. So I pull out ALL THE MELONS and proposition the captain of the monorail.
Polymelon mom wants a ride
up front
and a license to prove it. The captain pulls up and the monorail stops. We get inside the gate. I walk up to the front of the monorail and there he is
THE man
.the macho
the big cheese of the TTC
Captain Mono Rail. I cant post this here but all who know me know THE SHIRT
right?? YEP
Im wearing it ok?? So I have much confidence. I bat my big blues and throw my shoulders back and very innocently ask the Cap-I-tan for a ride in front. He is kinda put off actually
This is going to be harder than I thought.
Apparently there are RULES to these things and you are not supposed to just run up to the captain and beg for rides. I guess you are supposed to ask the gate attendant first then HE talks to the captain. I guess there is a chain of command on the monorail system
who knew??
He is miffed and is not easily swayed but I seem to have an effect on men
Its called wear them down until they just tell me what the hell, just shut up!
August=Polynesian. Thanks.
See it works
My Maelstrom friends think I should hold a cyber class in properly training the opposite sex to do exactly as I say
but I cant be giving them my secrets
or Id have to kill them
See, I tend to think it really has not a lot to do with melons. I think it has to do with being a cool person who is not afraid of throwing it all out there
.and that is usually what I do when I am determined.
Cpt Mono Rail says fine
He likes me
A lot
.I think
In we go
.first dd5
followed by dd7
then dd9
then dh
then
OH NOT YOU
.he says
YEAH NOT ME!!!!
WHAT??? Does he mean not me?? I am thinking he is going to put me WAAAY up front and LET ME DRIVE!!!! HOOOORAAAY
.
NOPE
.
He puts polymelonmom in the back of his ride. I get a personal escort to the BACK of the monorail!!! EXCUSE me?? Come again?? Do I need to unleash the melons on the man??
I am not LYING HERE FOLKS
this is a true story.
He then says ONLY FOUR IN FRONT!!
AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the hell just happened here???
The captain wants no melons. Apparently he has his own or he prefers berries, lemons or maybe bananas???
There we go
riding the monorail for the last time in 2005 and my family is not with me.
We get off the ride-o-hell and dh then says,
THAT was soooo cool
.where were you??? Do you wanna see our cooool pictures???
He proceeds to show me what I missed.
ahhh they miss me....
uh...yeah...well look closer...
you can see the loss and despair in their little eyes "wheres my mama" they are saying...destroyed....forever...poor little babies.
DH now sleeps in the shed outside. In the snow.
And just wait til its 100 degrees out..hahahahaha!!!
Can you guys believe this?
I am very happy for my family. I am very happy that my girls were treated with one last ounce of pixie dust before our final farewell
.really I am. They got license
I did not.
Thats ok.
I am getting something special just for me in August, just dont know what yet
well have to see.
Pina Coladas and a hot tub anyone?
What?? The Poly got no Hot Tub?? We should fix that...dontcha think
So we exit the monorail and head back to Fiji one last time. It makes me sick. So sick. Who wants to go back to Iowa...in October??
I have one more stroll around the volcano pool to find Mr. Poly Right but alas
I leave empty handed
again. Surely there has to be ONE 70-year-old guy at the Poly at 11 am on a Tuesday, right?? Next time I am trying Hawaii because thats where I hear all the good ones hang out.
DH knows I scout out potentials
he is fine with that, less on his credit card. He likes it when we go dancing and guys buy drinks for me too. He calls them suckers.
I stand by my statement
NO LIMIT means just that. He disagrees. Whatever.
He amuses me by buying me a stiff drink (at 11am) at the bar.
I must look super stressed to most bartenders because I dont get it. Why would you give a 6 oz glass of rum to a mother of three? I dont even tip that well
DH does just for this reason.
We have to go now. Let me tell you all something
People at the Polynesian come and pick up your luggage for you. Yep
they do. I am in total shock and amazement because I dont think I have ever had anyone but the guy I was with carry my luggage.
We traveled a lot when I was growing up. My dad had money but he owned his own crane business so he never felt the need for pampering. Nope. He had us. My parents got timeshares and would cook on vacation. They were that kind of people.
I dont cook on vacation. I dont do laundry on vacation. I dont supervise the children on vacation
I do it too much at home and I need a break.
So
.anyway we head down to the Magic Express
only
why do they call it Magic Express when you are going BACK home?? Why?? Call it what is is
Ride to Reality
Seriously
ick.
The girls are just sooo very happy and talkative and energetic
THEY just got to pilot THE monorail of WDW
of course they are elated. DH is happy to be getting away from the Poly with money still on his credit card and a wife with too much alcohol in her system. I dont fly well.
I need meds to fly.
I will fly and love to travel but why must planes be SO high off the ground? Why cant we fly our OWN planes? Thats all Im saying.
Obviously I have control issues.
And I am vertically challenged!
Anyway I think I am the only depressed person in the bunch. I take this picture of my kids waiting for the ME at the Poly:
Then I get mad at them for being happy
these dang kids. Didnt I teach them anything?? They are supposed to look depressed so Daddy can see their little faces, almost in tears as we leave the most magical place on Earth
LOOK SAD
I yell
NO REALLY SAD
.LOOK LIKE YOU NEED SOME PAXIL FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!! I yell. Dont they realize they cant always rely on the melons for everything? Sometimes a good dose of manipulation and guilt work too
I have a lot to teach my little angel girls
After the acting lesson:
Does it end here folks? No. I thought maybe Id be done after this last installment but then I forgot about the flight home!
Yeah. Dont miss it
It starts with a drunk, coming home from an all night prostitute fest in Mexico
groping, fondling and puking
and cops to greet us as we arrive back in Des Moines, Iowa.
It aint over til its over
