Canadian Buffoon's Disney With a Teen Vacation - 08/13 - The Wrap

[Terra Nova guy]

Don't forget the transportation wait time guess!

Ah, yes! Thanks for the reminder.
I'll guess 204 minutes for the wait time.

 

[ForeverDance]

I was so excited when I saw the update to the title... that was kinda mean.
However, those are some beautiful shots of the moon. We had a lot of cloud cover so I didn't really get to see it so it is nice to see.

Now I shall go back to waiting patiently for the next chapter

 

[pkondz]

And here I got excited for a second thinking it was a new chapter. Tease!!!

Sorry. And here I thought I was being nice.
It seems it was pretty cloudy everywhere, so...

But nooooooooooo.....

Fine. I'll just crawl back into my corner and keep pecking away at the keyboard.

No package yet?

Nothing yet. And if I don't get it by today, I'll have to wait til next week.
I'll be out of town for a bit.

I thought it was a new chapter too! Pfftt... but nice pics!

See above.
Crawling off now...

 

[pkondz]

Yay for making it through customs and catching your plane! The alternative would have made for a very lousy start to your vacation!

I was really sweating not only whether we'd make our connection...
but even if we were going to make it into the country!

Oh how I was hoping the knock at your door was someone who was ready to sprinkle you & Kay with some pixie dust and fly you both over to the Grand Flo!

Wow. I hadn' even remotely thought of that.
That would've been pretty nice!

but I guess a cot to sleep on was "almost" just as good.

And much better than a lost, drunk guest.

Looking forward to reading about your AK day.

Working on it!

Kay wakes up when you "accidently" bump into her bed. I'm going to guess that happened around 9:30

My guess is Expedition Everest because it's one of my favourite rides.

Hmm, this is a hard one. I'm going to go with a Jalapeno Cheese Pretzel

Noted.

Great shots of the lunar eclipse! I was bummed that I missed it.... it was too cloudy to see here in eastern PA.

Thanks! I'd heard that a lot of the East was clouded over.
That's why I posted the pic in the first place.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

It's a bird, it's a plane... it's Supermoon!

That was neat to see. Glad I stayed up for it.

 

[Gracefulskinny]

The girls and I watched the lunar eclipse yesterday.
It was their first one.
I don't remember if I saw the last one or not (Super moon eclipse, I mean.)

It has been so super cloudy here there wasn't a prayer to see it. Very neat picture of it.

Sorry. And here I thought I was being nice.

It was very nice to post a pic for those of us who had too many clouds to see it for themselves. I'm over the rain though. Its been cloudy like this for around a week straight now.

Oh, man!

I'm sorry, okay! I'm sorry!!!

However, those are some beautiful shots of the moon. We had a lot of cloud cover so I didn't really get to see it so it is nice to see.

Yeah, I'd heard that it was pretty cloudy in the east,
that's why I put it out there.

Now I shall go back to waiting patiently for the next chapter

Working!

 

[pkondz]

That was neat to see. Glad I stayed up for it.

It was pretty cool, wasn't it?

Thanks again, sorry about the weather.
No sun for a week... bites.

So now that I've ticked off most of my readers...

I apologize for putting a "real life update" in the thread title.
I've removed it so others who are waiting for an update won't think there's one.
Sorry again for the misleading title.


Going to work on the real update now.

I'm no fool, no sir ree...
I had a feeling it wasn't a full on chapter because well, there was not a super moon while you were at DW with Kay! Glad I caught the photo though, it was stunning! We had great luck seeing it ourselves while we were in Portland.
Don't be sad or feel bad, just be glad... you just have so many devoted readers they love new chapters!!

Aww, don't feel bad - we were just giving you a hard time! Your photos were very nice, especially for those of us who didn't get to see it in person!

Our eagerness for a new update just shows what a great storyteller you are!

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Excellent!
Nice imagery there sir.

Sorry. And here I thought I was being nice.

But nooooooooooo.....

No, I think only the harem was a mite miffed at ya'.
I rather enjoyed the little update, cause we sure weren't able to see the event 'round here.
(and I'm a fan of off subject sidetrips anyway)

I'll be out of town for a bit.

Something mundane or might we be getting another stray tangent out of this?

Thanks! I'd heard that a lot of the East was clouded over.

Yes... yes it was.
The rain started up down here back on Friday and hasn't stopped since.
It's supposed to keep it up until Thursday for a few hours, but then get back to being soggy all through the weekend.

Fairly normal for fall down here, but I'd ship some of it off to California if I could.

I apologize for putting a "real life update" in the thread title.

No, no...
All updates are good updates.
I think there are other folks that owe far more apologies then you.
(but it ain't in my best interest to mention names, here.)

 

[KathyM2]

Hey I like the IRL updates too!! It's nice to see that the people around here are (somewhat lol) normal people who have lives outside of the Disney bubble lol

Oh no, I was really just teasing!
Maybe I should have added one of these or maybe this one

This!

 

[ddstratton]

Well, I haven't been on the DIS for a little while - life just got busy. And here you are -- 17 pages into a new trip report! I'm loving it so far, even with the very late night and the heat. At least you chose wisely, and did not go for the section with the South American teams -- scary!

 

[DisneyAndrew]

Wow wee wow! That's my name at the top of the leader board. That's pretty exciting. (I'm sure it won't last, so I will revel and nobody can stop me. Well except you, of course you can because it's your TR.)

Anywhoo, I thought for sure I would have gotten behind by now. When I read the next part of the contest, I even wrote my answers on a sticky note to check myself just in case I had already missed it.

So, let's say she gets up at 9:00 - that sounds hopeful, right?
I'm gonna go with Kilamanjaro Safaris - unexpected. I almost went with EE, but you have to pick and underdog now and then.
And let's say a Mickey Ice Cream Bar.

By the way, loving this TR just as much as the last one.

 

[jandlinz]

It's a bird, it's a plane... it's Supermoon!

Nobody asked, but you're going to see it anyways, 'cause it's my TR.
So pppbbbtttt!!!!

Super neat picture. Here's my picture I took from Detroit. Not as stellar as yours, but still cool. Just my DH and I saw it. Amazingly all five of our darlings were sleeping.

 

[franandaj]

OK, I'm late to the party, and I missed out on the first round of bonus questions, but even though I'm still six pages behind, I hope that I'm not too late for the second round of bonus questions! Once I'm caught up I'll be able to comment better, but one thing that you mentioned about customs that would be a bummer for me traveling to WDW is you mentioned you can't stow meat in your suitcase. Major bummer! I always throw a big ole' prime rib, tri tip or something for the grill in my suitcase. Think I'm kidding? There's a couple of your readers who can back me up on this one!

As far as bus waits, I'm going to guess 363 minutes. I never have good bus juju, so this is based on my own experience.

For the questions, I'm going to say that Kay gets up at 9:45AM just in time for the 10:00AM housekeeping call.
New top favorite ride, EE. Based on the picture in the intro, she's got to be a thrill seeker.
Snack? Mickey bar, what else quenches on a hot and humid day?

I thought about the harem, but disqualified myself on the first caveat "drop dead gorgeous". At my advanced age, I don't think gorgeous much less drop dead would come into play. I also had a great Meme that would help explain the situation, but the more I thought about it I decided it might get me some points from the moderators. If you're curious, google "Aphrodite, clam shell, aquarium meme". Click on images.

 

[Mrs T 2009]

Don't be sorry for the super moon post! It was fairly cloudy here, so we didn't get to see it. I'm glad for your photog skills! Very cool photo!

 

[orangecats2]

Where are you going and why haven't we heard about it before this? What will the harem do while you're gone?
