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

Hi Tammie! :)



What???
What's with that? (The people I mean. Not the 'puters.)
They just don't show?
Are they independently wealthy and just don't need to work?
(I'm thinking... probably not.)

Umm, with that MO - I would say not. Batting 1,000 here - we have six employees besides management, and we have had 4 no shows since Thanksgiving week.


Sucks about the computers too.
Never any fun when that happens.
I'm lucky. If the computers go down,
while I do have to scramble,
not nearly as much as the techs do!




I thought that was supposed to make it easier?

Only easier in that you don't have a server to mess with, but if your internet is down, forget a bout it!

Atta girl.
But you must be beat!




::yes:: Good luck with that.



No worries. You've had a rough week.

Thanks for your understanding. :hug:

Well, we really liked it.
YMMV, of course.
But... give it a whirl!




Noted.



:laughing: It'll be a while, still.

Take your time!

:laughing: Oh, you flatterer, you!

What? Moi? I meant every word! :bitelip:

Umm, I do have a request to make.... I know technically it is not cold here, but we have gone from 80 to 50 in a couple of days, cold wind blowing us down into the 20's maybe tonight. Could I request you keep that arctic cold up where it belongs?
 
Speaking of the good chocolate, Erma Bombeck said to hide it in the freezer in a packet marked "FISH."

If the ride went through Dollywood it would be the Sum of All Hills.

Seriously, there is something wrong with me.

Can't wait for the next update!
 
Its funny I've never had a reaction like that to meds before. However after 3 or 4 doses it made my dreams go REALLY weird! (I'll save you the details from the dream about people, {not zombies} eating the brains of Monks while vampires danced in the distance.:rolleyes2)

Whoa. Those must've been reallllllly good meds.

Pass! There wasn't much fun to be had. At least the meds work fairly quickly.

So you're feeling better! Good!
 

Boy do I want Teppanyaki!

Come on over!
But I don't do knife and/or spatula spinning/juggling.
And the last time I tried doing a volcano, it didn't work out at all.


Not just the 5 hour flight but you take into account that we have to be there two hours early. It also takes an hour to get to the airport and then factor in the stressful little to no sleep the night before....

Oh, I get all that.
Believe me... I get it.


Plus we are lucky enough to be able to set our own vacation time schedule, the biggest factor is our kitties and how much we miss them.

Darned pets.
Taking up all your time and only giving unconditional love in return.


Ugh. That's awful early to leave from vacation. Our next flight leaves for vacation at 5AM. We may just end up staying up all night.

Try to get a bit of sleep.
Makes all the difference in the world.


Mine goes like this:
"Darlin' do you want to get up?"
""Give me about 30 minutes."
"Are you ready to get up yet?"
"I'm waking up. I'm waking up. Give me a few more minutes."
"Did you want to get up."
"I'm working on it."
Eventually she gets up.
"Why didn't you just pull the covers off me and get me up?"
:faint:

:laughing:

But even if I got it right the points may not even help because the penalty might be so high. Besides who say you don't wait an hour for the DUD bus?

There is a minimum of two busses (back to the resort and DUD)
and possibly more to go.


No, no you didn't. I went back and looked. There was no mention of musical instruments, or the words shrill and especially not trills!

Yes, yes we did.
I may not have written them all down
(Just how long did you want that chapter to be?!?!?)
but we said 'em.


There are places where you can get deals, but I live at the beach so that may have something to do with it. I can guarantee you that there are places in So Cal that are NOTHING like an amusement park.

Yes, I can think of a few places myself.

Yeah well after we bought more than anyone should eat, we had a little "thing", where I was told, "Fine, it's all yours I won't eat any." :snooty: However three weeks later when I've got it stashed in the pantry at home it started to mysteriously "disappear".

:laughing: That happens to you too?
"Okay. I made cookies. There are 16, so 4 each. Got it?"
<Nods from four starving women>
(Next day) Me: "Hey! Who ate all the cookies? I only got one!!"

Every. Single. Time.


Wow! Postal codes sound like they have the potential to be way more fun than zip codes!

Nah. Usually they're pretty boring.
We just got "lucky" that time.


That's crazy talk! How do people LIVE like that?????

Read your post earlier this week -Thanks!

You're welcome! :goodvibes

It was last week with daughter before going back to college yesterday. Back to enjoying my Sunday Disney time in my jammies.

Bittersweet then.
"My baby's gone!" + "Aaaaahhhh!!!!"


I went to look up some of his TRs and have one saved to start reading.

I think you'll enjoy it.
I know I sure did!
(And many others, as well.)


I mean I'll have to do something when this one ends:( Of course I'll be missing you & a contest the whole time I'm reading it. OOOH but if I look at some of the
banter, it might include you too!

Depends on which one you read. I wasn't around for his earlier ones.

Nope. I found you (you were lost before then-remember?) when you were posting comments on another TR (Shannon? from Chicago with little girl) and thought you were quite witty.

I think you're half right about that.

Big score for me, got to follow at the beginning.

:laughing:

At the end I left lurkedom and some of my first ever posts were there. You're my Nebo, you got me posting and I don't seem to stop. It's your fault now

:goodvibes I take full responsibility!

You're welcome. Thanks you again for doing this TR :love1:That's from the harem.

:blush:

Aw... gee.... uh.... :blush:


That sucks! But right now I actually wish I could see that. It would mean my trip to Disney would have finally come true. I would be taking that and hopefully lots of memories!

Well, I suppose I can see that.
But if you see that... it means that you did have a trip... and it's over! :eek:


I'll be on the road at that time Monday to be at work at 3AM. Don't think that would bother me, but to end a vacation at that time would not be what I'd want.

No... I would've preferred to end it a little later than 2:45am.
Maybe... oh, I don't know. Perhaps 3pm? 3 years from now? Maybe 4? 6?


Dang, I've never seen this (once again doubt it was there 10 years ago)

Nope. It wasn't. It opened fall of 2009.

Don't remember who guessed it, but thought , maybe I'd like to change answer to that instead of the Land.

TheLittleKatie was the first one to think of that.
A few jumped on that afterwards.


FYI, I did change it to something other than the Land. Remember I was being naughty on my way to work with crazy thoughts of you and what else you would ride. Guess it wasn't a Segway. Do they still have it in Innoventions?

Oh, that's right. You did.
I remember thinking that it was a smart answer
considering we've done it before.
But, no. They don't have it anymore.

Too bad. They used to have a World Showcase Segway tour.
I would've liked to do that one.


Thought I'd get points jumping that high out of the box:Pinkbounc and hitting the ceiling for that one. I'm getting bruises from this game.

:laughing:

I actually did consider giving you points for that.
But I've tried to be pretty strict with those bonus points.


Very interesting. I couldn't tell, is there anything in front of you visually? What do you see?

There's a screen in front of you.
If memory serves, I think you see a simple computer rendering
of your proposed track and you follow it.

Somethings don't but boy sometimes they do. Some good and some we just don't seem ready for. My girl was 18 in Aug. and you're happy/scared for their independence all at the same time.

My other DD turned 18 last spring.
Want to talk about happy/scared,
she was bullied so badly in grade 11
that we moved her to a different school,
right out of the city.
She drove 45 minutes (one way)
every day to school.
Luckily, last winter was fairly mild.
Still.


Saw the current Kay in car posing like a few others do, then scroll down...awww little Kay. Gave me a smile. Would have loved to see a lot more flashbacks, they were fun!

:goodvibes

I have one more coming up.

Hear ye! Hear Ye! Announcing Sir Pkondz and his lovely daughter Princess Kay

It's like you were there!
I must admit though, I got a lot of funny looks when I did that.


Doesn't she know running with water she might spill.

You should see her with scissors.

You prefer your water brought to you by sashaying.

::yes::

I'm pretty sure I read a person having a similar thing happen while at that restaurant but with a male server. I'll have to check.

Standing by.
(ETA Actually read your story already. Will comment there.)


First thing I saw was Mickey pepperoni!

Why am I the only one that missed that?!?!?

It's always fun to find hidden Mickeys. At work I need to rubber-band bundles of letters often, so I have a small pile of them on my desk. Once in awhile (if you can picture this) one can be
laying there with a twist and I see hidden Mickey! I think I was excited and made a comment to a co-worker who of course just gave me the 'yea I don't get your Disney craziness' look. Really?..what's a hidden Mickey?

:lmao:

Wow never thought of vanilla gelato. My go to one every year at fair is Pistachio gelato.

I love pistachios.
I just don't want them in my ice cream
(or gelato... as the case may be.)


A little late getting that. You were suppose to get this instead of the not up to par shaved ice. Which was better?

Hmmmm.....
Tough question.
Comparing apples to oranges.
For a hot day, the shave ice sure hit the spot.
But... chocolate....... mmmm.....

I can't answer that!!


Three for three I guess. Not very friendly are you. Talk to only three people.

I am far too superior to the common folk to sully myself with an interaction of any sort.


Actually, I tend to move too quickly to meet strangers.
Or my normal introvert self prefers to be by myself.

Ruby on the other hand.
People talk to her All. The. Time.
She can't get away from it.
Standing in line to buy a Coke?
Before she's done, the person behind her will
have shared her entire life's story with her.


You da Man! On the computer too!

Ya baby! I da man!

So, quick story about something that happened yesterday. On break coworker was reading out loud a section of newspaper that was a quiz. It's in there everyday (9 ?s different levels) and sometime we'll see how many we get.
Subject was countries. One was, Where would you find Casa Loma? DingDingDing! I know this! Canada! I'm sure she was impressed on my knowledge. Of course if I'd try to explain, you my Canadian friend, Trip reports, DisBoard etc. I'd get that... Shelly and her Disney again look.
So I'm giving you 20 point for going to Casa Loma and sharing with us. I never ask for point but you are welcome to return the favor:laughing:

:laughing: I've always told people that I run an educational TR!
Thanks for the points! :)


That's because you are the most gracious person I know from Canada!

I am, aren't I? Of course I am!

Good golly. Obvious one, thanks for the pressure of being right. I'm going with AK
Keep going, you can do 3 parks
no crazy guesses today. I'll go with a churro
oh sure be wild again! You do Wishes so I'll go with 10:45
You didn't buy that add on with your transportation package and yes, you do get a little
yes you do.

Noted.

Once again love to see your next update but going La La La don't want to hear the end. Or is that Blink Blink Blink I don't want to read the last one.

Possibly tap tap tap (on the keyboard)?
 
Umm, with that MO - I would say not. Batting 1,000 here - we have six employees besides management, and we have had 4 no shows since Thanksgiving week.


Four out of six?!?!? That's nuts!

Only easier in that you don't have a server to mess with, but if your internet is down, forget a bout it!

Ah.

Take your time!

So.... Next year okay with everybody?
Tammie says it is!


What? Moi? I meant every word! :bitelip:

I chose to believe you.
 
Umm, I do have a request to make.... I know technically it is not cold here, but we have gone from 80 to 50 in a couple of days, cold wind blowing us down into the 20's maybe tonight. Could I request you keep that arctic cold up where it belongs?

I am keeping it up here.
Otherwise you'd not have 20s but minus 20s.


You're welcome.
 
Hope you don't mind but I found and copied the story about another server at VN:

Well, that was weird.
I went to reply to you and Tammie but only Tammie's quotes showed up.
So I go back and reselect your post and....
It's there twice.


Anyway...

I don't mind at all! I encourage sharing on this TR.
I like reading stuff too ya know! :laughing:

Just... avert your eyes.
 
Speaking of the good chocolate, Erma Bombeck said to hide it in the freezer in a packet marked "FISH."

Hey! That's an excellent suggestion.
Beats me trying to find wonderful hiding spots
that I forget where they are by the next day.


If the ride went through Dollywood it would be the Sum of All Hills.

I don't get that.
Could you please explain it in detail?

Thanks.


Seriously, there is something wrong with me.

:rotfl:

Can't wait for the next update!

Haven't written a thing since I posted a few days ago that I started writing!
 
Nope! That's a new one! :thumbsup2

:jumping1:

:laughing: Or should that be :eek:

The next update isn't even close to being done.
I've started... but just barely.

So what happens when a trip report ends? I've never made it to the end of one before (except your last one but that ended with a link to this one so it actually never ended). Can you attach Hawaii onto the end of this? You don't need a contest, just a few updates. That way it won't take as much of your time. You know you want to!

If I did run a Maui addendum or whatever, there definitely wouldn't be a contest.
I need a break!
Hmmm.... I don't know.
I suppose I could think about it.

When TRs end they... well... stop.
 
So a few people have asked, but I want a consensus from the group.

I really have zero plans to write anything about Maui.
And after reading Mark's (@Captain_Oblivious) Hawaii TR
I am even less inclined to write.
His was much, much better than anything I would come up with.
And I'm not being self-effacing. It really was that good.

If I were to write, I can't promise tons of photos or even that I'll take notes.
(although I probably will take notes if I'm to write. we'll see.)

I know I wasn't planning on writing anything about a weekend getaway,
but considering this is almost as long as my solo Disney trip, I suppose that works.


But it's definitely non-Disney.
I've done that before (my Euro TR) to mixed success.

Show of hands if you really want this.
I'm not promising anything.... but I'll at least think about it
if there's enough interest.
 
:laughing:
Although I see that right now it's -6C/22F in Buffalo.
T-shirt and shorts weather!
Gotta love a heat wave in winter!
The lack of cold and snow we've had thus far has thinned my blood and made me a wuss :rotfl2: I'm used to being two months into winter weather, used to the cold by now, and here we are just starting in January!

P.S. I would totally follow a Hawaii TR!:cool1:
