CINDERELLA!!!! The Vandy girls are BACK!!!**UPDATE 8-8-09! THE END-FINALLY! Page 83**

I'm totally joining in, even if I am a little late!

Better late then never, right? :thumbsup2

:welcome:!!! You are not too late we are only on the second day and havent even finished that one :headache: ....sorry I'm so SLOW!!

I am sorry that Vandy lost today. :sad1:
A moment of silence for your team. :sad2: :sad2: Now lets have one for mine. Nebraska lost to Texas Tech in OT. :sad2:
Sorry about Vandy ladies. I saw that they were playing today.
Sorry about Vandy! I'm sad because LSU lost to florida. :sad1:

Thank you guys....we really should have never lost that game :sad2:

But when you have 107yds total offense you aren't going to win many. And while coaching has won us many games it lost it yesterday. They put Mackenzie in with about 13mins left and that was just not fair to him (or the team really.) Of course we can't go backwards but I would bet my house we would have won if they had put him in after the half. Oh well wouldn't be so hard if we weren't undefeated. BUT we are 5-1 which is better than anyone would have ever guessed. Just hard to lose one you should have won and the schedule is not getting ANY easier!

Lmiller - sorry about your ot loss those really suck

Katie - I can't believe LSU didn't win. I thought UF hasn't looked very good all year....sorry....we also needed you guys to win, I was pulling for ya!

Ok....off to another 40th bday party for my cousin with my family now.

I will try VERY VERY hard to get an update up tonight!

pirate: GO DORES!!! pirate:
I think I will be calling the coaches show for the first time tomorrow night :rolleyes:
 
You aren't slow! I'm sure it'll take me forever to write my trip report once I get back.

Looking forward to more though! :)

Heck, this morning I was looking at my pics from my June vacation and contemplating writing a VERY post-TR just to give back to everyone who has shared their journeys with me.
 
Ok, now I grew up in Atlanta, but never heard of Maysville. :confused3 had to Google to find out where it is. :rotfl2: I know where Commerce is, so I know the general area.

Now, that is NOT singing in any shape or form. She looked like she had NO idea that it wasn't that good. :sad2: :scared:

Looks like you had a good time at the festival though. :thumbsup2

We're taking our dogs to "Bark in the Park" tomorrow. It is a little festival just for pooches. I would take photos, but I'm gonna have two dogs, and it is gonna take all of me to handle the two of them. :rotfl2:

yeah, maysville is a tiny little town. it was an experience for sure! bark in the park sounds cute! hope you had fun!

So sorry about your trial. Thankfully my DH doesn't do criminal work. That would be hard to handle. You'll be busy for a LONG time. Sorry I sounded wenchy, I just miss reading your reports. (I'm not psycho, just so you know)

we didn't finish the trial last week - the jury should get the case on monday though. honestly i'd rather sit through a murder trial than a divorce trial though. i know that sounds awful but divorce is just the worst thing i do! there's so much hate and tension in the room.

oh, and you didn't sound wenchy at all! ;)

Ouch! I was at the game when that happened. Watched them take him away with my binoculars. My hubby has season tickets - I usually make it to one game and then let the boys go. Eugene is 3 hrs away from here. He'll spend the night tomorrow, cuz its a night game.

Nice to have the pics back. I need to listen to the cowgirl yet - Didn't want to scare DH in bed! :rotfl2:

ray's boss is just so excited that justin was doing as well as he was! hope his injuries heal soon. ray said justin REALLY wanted to go to UT (tennessee) but he got a better deal at oregon. if only UT would've taken him - they'd have a better team this year!

OMG! That belongs on U-tube fore shore! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

And, BTW, looks like Luke and company had lots of fun again! I love all the fun stuff you do together! Luke is a lucky boy to have so many people who love him around all the time! :love:

yeah, that girl was crazy. i don't know how she couldn't know that she can't sing, but whatever! luke is so much fun - that kid is a hoot and i love to be around him! (unless he hasn't had a nap. :laughing: )

All caught up, the pics are fantastic !!! It was torture waiting to see them. Not your fault. ;) The photopass pics are very good. The borders are different than what I got last year. I would have liked the leaf one. I didn't know about getting Stitch. I have the Tinkerbell one. I now know from your TR's there is Stitch, Tinkerbell and Captain Hook. Are there any more I missed? You both are so photogenic, I don't think you can take a bad pic. I think the matching T's are adorable. If I can say that about two women. :cutie: Sorry to hear about the trial, you must have a hard job seeing all the horrible that people can do. :hug: I know there are funny stories too, hope it all balances out. :flower3:

there's also baby simba at AK. you'll see those later. oh, and i saw a new one recently i've never seen before. the photopass person takes a pic of you from an angle looking up at the sky and then when you see the picture there's mickey and maybe minnie (not sure about that) with him and they're hang-gliding. they take it near soarin at epcot. so cool! i wish i'd known about it. thanks about being photogenic - i totally disagree about me but my mom told me to never refuse a compliment! yeah, i love my job for the most part. there is some things i've had to sit through that have been hard, child molestation cases being the worst. but i just have to go into what i call "robot mode" and not think about what i'm hearing.

Well - it was three years ago......:scratchin ; but he was a younger guy. We saw him at that garden that is right before the archway to WS. At Christmas time, they put up these giant white lights (think they look like snowflakes) - really pretty. Obviously, if you're there at night when the lights are lit, it's very crowded. But we went late morning on a cloudy day and there was no one around - this guy was posing us and just kept snapping away. Hopefully you'll find a really fun photog. who's bored and won't mind spending some time with you. (do have to say - Epcot has the most beautiful picture spots at the holidays! - You'll love it!)

Ok, ok - sorry Vandy girls! Would it help if I said I do enjoy a little Keith Urban every now and then (but, then again, who doesn't?;) ) -- and I do actually own a Dixie Chicks cd.

thanks for the photopass info! i can't wait for our december trip. speaking of which, i'm going to be starting a pre-TR soon! i'll post the link here when i do.

I would just like to say, I don't own any CD's of country, but my Bil owns plenty of both kinds of music- country AND western, and I go to ST John every year to hang out in a bar called Woody's and wait for Kenny Chesney to walk in- does that count?:rotfl:

sure, that counts. although i know nothing about kenny chesney other than my neighbor is CRAZY about him and i think her husband looks like him, so that totally makes sense to me. i know he was college gameday the other day, too!

I like Kenny Chesney, but I LOVE me some Rascall Flatts!!! :lovestruc

i've heard of them, but i don't think i've ever listened to anything by them. i hear they're really popular though!

I'm totally joining in, even if I am a little late!

Better late then never, right? :thumbsup2

hey, there! welcome to our TR!!!!! am i going crazy or do i remember you from a previous TR that i did?

Oh goodness gracious Dawn. My ears are bleeding from that video. Ouch.

sorry about that! :rolleyes1
 

we went to yet another fall festival yesterday. this one was in gainesville, which is a bit larger than maysville, and it's called the mule camp festival. they have it every year and ray and i always go because his office is right next door to the square where they have it. there's always GREAT music (sorry to disappoint - no cowgirl this time!) and really bad-for-you-but-yummy food there! lots of arts and crafts and things for the kids to do. the crowd was a bit less interesting at this festival, but we still had fun!

just being silly......

HAPPY FALL!!!!!
 
hey, there! welcome to our TR!!!!! am i going crazy or do i remember you from a previous TR that i did?


Heeeeey! No, you aren't going crazy! I've read your previous trip reports before! I love 'em! :)

Yall are going to be in Disney right after we leave! Dangit.


And it looks like yall had some fun at the fall festival! Love all the pictures!
 
/
Now, I have heard of Gainesville! :laughing: Looks like you had a beautiful fall day to enjoy the festivities! It was really windy here.
 
Looks like fun! Is the boy in the orange shirt with you guys? He looks like he's sharing Ray's plate.
 
My husband does divorce work too. (it's not his main focus, but he's really the only one in his firm that does domestic work) He says it's so sad when there are kids involved and parents can't even figure out how to make visitation easy so each parent can see their kids. I know that there are circumstances to every divorce, so please don't thrash me everyone. It's just sad for everyone involved.
I hope your trial ends soon.
Nice fall festival. It's nice that you support your local festivities!!
 
thanks for betting on us! yes, they backup QB looked good. nickson (the 1st string) just wasn't landing much although he was running decently when he needed to. anyway, i'm glad we have 2 decent QBs on the team!

Well I picked Vandy this week also. Sorry they lost. But hey, 1 in 6 isn't too bad. Miss State always has this way of playing big in certain games. They even gave LSU a little run for their money. I will be at the Vandy @ UGA game Saturday, but, of course, I will be rooting for UGA. Vandy has been playing us tough the past few years, so we need to be ready to play.
 
That fall festival sounds like a lot more fun than Mayville, because yummy food minus bad singing cowgirls is a good thing. Luke is very cute, I hope he didn't eat all of that sand candy at one time, because the picture after him eating the sand candy he looks a wired up and I'm glad Luke likes dogs it adds to his cuteness:)
 


I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that we'll get ticket for the UGA game. So Dawn and I might be there too!!!!

My friend and I just go and get tickets at the stadium from the scalpers. Being as the game is at 12:30 the price may not be too bad and if you wait until right at kick-off the price drops. And they usually have pretty good seats. We had hoped for a 3:30 start so we could do some tailgating, and we will still try to get some in, but oh well...CBS picked up the AL game instead.

Sorry about the loss. The SEC is so tough, there is no way to make it out without losing one or two.
 
Long, long ago we left you in Epcot.
Now we are on to our first ADR!!!!

We went and parked at the Poly. I always :love: passing this sign
DSC06414.jpg


I was trying on hats, thinking about possible Halloween outfit
DSC06415.jpg


Dawn took a pic of the trash can :laughing:
DSC06416.jpg


We hopped on the monorail and headed here
DSC06417.jpg


We ate dinner with
P1030380.jpg

P1030381.jpg

P1030383.jpg


They danced
DSC06422.jpg

P1030388.jpg


Our first character was the prince
P1030393.jpg


We asked if we could give him a kiss....he wasn't very personable I didnt think but I'm sure he's a very nice guy :rolleyes:
P1030392.jpg


We didn't really want to KISS him
4.gif
but why wouldn't he want kisses from us anyway :confused3

Then came the mean lady
DSC06425.jpg

P1030395.jpg

P1030396.jpg


Next post....
 
On to the best princess in the world princess:
P1030399.jpg


Here's what I came for!!! Or at least I thought......
P1030400.jpg


She asked about our prince's and we told her we acutally did bring them and would she mind to take a picture. She really broke character a little and laughed but said 'sure, I'd be happy to' It was really funny :rotfl:
P1030397.jpg


Now on to the girls....
P1030407.jpg

P1030408.jpg

P1030402.jpg


I got out of order here b/c I was saving the best for last. I think this is one of my FAVORITE characters now!! She is just crazy!!
18.gif

P1030403.jpg


Unfortunately I didn't tape these nor did we get to see it but I found it searching for them and I do think it's the girls we had that night. I know the prince is the same and it sure looks like them. But I think this is just hilarious!
Drizella and Anastasia
This video showcases Anastasia a little better. These were not the girls we had but I think this girl sounds exactly like the one we had at dinner :rotfl2:
Anastasia & Drizella

The reason why we have our title is b/c Anastasia would be across the room and yell CINDERELLA!!!!! It was so funny, and I continued to copy her the rest of the trip. It might be one of those 'you have to be there' moments but it was FUNNY! And everytime I would blurt it out we would just roll :rotfl:

She also asked 'What's a Vanderbilt Girl?' and then got crazy excited and said 'OH...can I be a Vanderbilt Girl too??' She was just great!

I was so excited about the characters I almost forgot to post the food. So for all you food porn lovers here ya go....
Dawn's first plate
DSC06418.jpg


My first - the strawberry soup was yummy but almost a dessert. The salads were AWESOME!!!
5.gif
I know I went back for the tomato salad with the capers it was incredible.
DSC06419.jpg


My second serving, & you can see I went for more salad!! The soups were extra good too :thumbsup2
DSC06420.jpg


Dawn's prime rib. I assume it was good :upsidedow
DSC06421.jpg


And the yummy desserts
1.gif
I love how they are little bites. The choc. mousse was wonderful :cloud9: And I loved the fruit but not really what was under it :confused:
DSC06430.jpg


It was a good buffet overall but just personally I like Crystal Palace better....just my opinion, but I would rather have these characters princess: so I guess it's a draw :laughing:

On to my FAVORITE place next.......
 
She asked about our prince's and we told her we acutally did bring them and would she mind to take a picture. She really broke character a little and laughed but said 'sure, I'd be happy to' It was really funny :rotfl:
P1030397.jpg

OMG - this is HYSTERICAL!!!!:rotfl2:
 
I had no idea those stepsisters were there! OMG- that is a riot! I HAVE to go check it out when I go with my girlfriend next May!! Cinderella's my favorite!!!

And I can't BELIEVE you had Cinderella pose with your flat princes- YOU ARE HYSTERICAL!!!!!:lmao: :rotfl2:
 
my added thoughts! :thumbsup2

Dawn took a pic of the trash can :laughing:
DSC06416.jpg

i figured memom would appreciate this! i just liked that it said "mahalo." :goodvibes

We asked if we could give him a kiss....he wasn't very personable I didnt think but I'm sure he's a very nice guy :rolleyes:
P1030392.jpg


We didn't really want to KISS him
4.gif
but why wouldn't he want kisses from us anyway :confused3

i actually asked him if he thought cinderella would mind if we "fake kissed" him and he kind of just smiled and didn't say no. i'm thinking......geez....does my breath stink or something? but he played along......sort of.

She asked about our prince's and we told her we acutally did bring them and would she mind to take a picture. She really broke character a little and laughed but said 'sure, I'd be happy to' It was really funny :rotfl:
P1030397.jpg

this was one of my favorite moments of the trip! it was SO FUNNY when she broke character and laughed what i'd term a non-princess laugh. but then she gained her composure and went right back into cinderella and politely took the picture. princess:


i love the way drizella has that crooked, messed-up smile! :rotfl2:

I got out of order here b/c I was saving the best for last. I think this is one of my FAVORITE characters now!! She is just crazy!!
18.gif

P1030403.jpg

she was GREAT!!!! she had us cracking up the whole time, even from across the room. we'd hear her singing (screaming) to tables occasionally. the little girl next to us was dressed up as ariel and she goes, "you know, i get mistaken for ariel all the time because we both have red hair!" :laughing: then the little girls nearby i guess weren't saying much to her and she goes, "i know....you're stunned by my beauty. it happens all the time." :lmao:

This video showcases Anastasia a little better. These were not the girls we had but I think this girl sounds exactly like the one we had at dinner :rotfl2:
Anastasia & Drizella

erica - i actually do think this is her! she looks JUST like her to me. same mannerisms and same crazy smile. :rotfl:

She also asked 'What's a Vanderbilt Girl?' and then got crazy excited and said 'OH...can I be a Vanderbilt Girl too??' She was just great!


when she saw our shirts initially she said, "did vander built you????" :lmao: we had to promise her we'd bring her a shirt back next time we came!

i liked 1900 park fare a lot! i thought the food was good - comparable to crystal palace in my opinion, but CP does have a slight edge as far as that goes. but these characters were WAY more entertaining! they do a cute little ceremony if you have an ADR when they open (ours was for 4:35 and they open at 4:30) where they pick a little girl (the one that day was a birthday girl) to open the doors and there stands cinderella. it was really cute! then they announce each character as they enter the room throughout dinner by saying, "ladies and gentlemen, please welcome cinderella!" the only complaint i'd have is that it took a long time for them to all get around the room. it may have just been an off night or something but i think erica and i waited awhile after we had finished eating for the last two characters, which i believe were the stepsisters. i think our server was wanting us to leave, but i wasn't about to leave without meeting them all!
