I know. Hey, I called! I would have come right over to WL to say Hi but I wasn't going unless invited!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Woohoo, I'm finally here! Stupid work kept me from being on the first page...

So nice to meet you!!! I wish we had taken a picture. <Duh!> Ya know what though....I saw you like 3-4 times and that's kind of cool. Right? So are you done with your edits? I saw those borders on FB. So cute! Your man did good!

Geez louise...2 pages already!!! Hmm, I dont' like starting on the 2nd page!

Hey Ms Heather! I can't wait to meet you. Will you bring your client too? I saw your man on OTH tonight. WTH is up with him!? Weird.

I'm in! I can't wait to hear all about this trip! Those Pirate rooms are awesome! The kids look REALLY tired - I can only imagine how you guys felt.

HEY!!!! Your trip will be here in minutes ya know!? Yes we were so wiped out dead dog tired. I can not sleep in the car when someone is driving...I wish I could change that. The rooms are really cute huh!?

I'm here. Looking forward to hearing more. Those pirate themed rooms at CSR are just too much fun.

Hey girl! Those rooms were fun. I'm sick of WDW right now but I can't wait to meet all of you in December. It feels like I'm going to a high school reunion or something! Are you getting excited!? I have to come by your PTR and catch up! Do you care if I add ya'll to our group PTR for December? If nothing else you should come by and say Hi. There's a bunch of us going.

Tammy.
Those pirate rooms are just the cutest things! Definitely had alot of imagination in those rooms! OMG! One tree Hill I can't believe that Chic is going to set up Nathan! I like that Brooke and Julian are finally becoming a couple! They are a couple in real life you know! She hooked up with James at one time too. I didn't know that. Go Brooke! I mean Sophia! But I'm not sure how I'm going to like the fact that my top 2 favorite characters are no longer on the show I don't know if I'm going to like it with out Lucas and Peyton!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, I know she wanted to stay seeing that her hubby works on the show and all. I think dude wanted a lot of $$$$ or something!? I hope they are brought back on. Ya never know. Still, it was funny as hell tonight huh? Lots of nekkid people! Ha ha I like the others but was partial to those 2! Why can't they come back??????????????
Tammy go over to that River court and tell them I want Lucas and Peyton BACK!!!!!!!!!!! If it were only that easy. The kids are po'ed at me for not getting them work in the birthday party scene. I have to call them. Well I'm sure I'll have alot to catch up on tommorrow since I work from 8 til 3:30pm and then have to go pick my DS up from school then I'm going to be fighting him for the computer because I made the mistake of signing him up for Facebook tonight so he can talk to Dash and he's already addicted to YoVille and This Fish Game!!! I had to make him get off and goto bed!!!

Oh no. Not another addict! My kids share a laptop and get violent over FB games. I might have to delete it all if they can't get along.

 

[EastYorkDisneyFan]

I'm sorry I missed all of you guys well I was down ther at the same time but things just didn't seam to work out.

 

[sugar1967]

I'm here!! I'm here!!
Can't wait to read all about it - LOVE your reports.

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

After our way too short nap the baby woke us up with the clock radio blaring out Billy Squier (and it wasn't one of the good songs!) We were all starving plus we had the dining plan for the day so we went out for a quick lunch at the AKL. Here are some pictures from that meal.

Flatbread (so so good!)

Our cluttered table...

You can still tell we haven't slept here.

AKL brownie w/ paw print

Gabby sharing with her BFF

Yum ~ Zebra Domes!

This is a pretty CS place!

Of course Gabby had to go the bathroom. I swear...I have visited every single bathroom in WDW!

Took some pics as I waited, and waited, and waited some more!

The floor

Finally she comes back out!

The grounds...so pretty.

Some pics I took with the "good" camera.

"Tired in an Elevator..." Yes, that's for you Aerosmith fans. Everyone else thinks I'm crazy. LOL

"Why can't we just stay here!?"

They went inside the gift shop to play tic tac toe for a second and ended up at the rock counter. Gabby collects rocks and wanted to buy some but I left the money in the room. She was satisfied wasting her snack credits on junk candy and off we went ~ back to the PIRATE rooms!

Well, no actually that's not what happened. I realized (an hour into our trip) that I did not have my ADR's made online. I had the AKL concierge search for them with no luck. I called Colleen and Jen and asked if I had sent them any info on my ADR's. I was so frustrated now. We had just pulled up to the AK to get our tickets separated from the package when Gabby realized she left her BFF inside the shop at the AKL. WONDERFUL....so we get back in the truck and rush back over. Luckily she was still there in the spot in which she left her. I couldn't believe it! So then we went back and picked up the one day tickets. Almost an hour killed!

THEN we went back to CBR and put on our swimsuits. It was time to get in the pool! Gabby, Bolt, and I went into the new pirate pool while Sid and Dash went into the sand castle pool. They didn't make it to the slides when it was suddenly shut down...yep! You guessed it. Floating POOP! They super shocked it though and reopened a little bit later. The kids LOVED the Pirate area. It was there when we stayed back in Dec '08 but we were only there for a day and it was too chilly to swim that evening. So this was their "first" time in that pool. We were in there for a while. I took the kids out and over to the big pool for a bit. After we got out I was looking around for the towels when some IDIOT asked me if I spoke English. He started running off at the mouth about me not closing a gate that he had "opened" for me. He was po'ed because I did not say THANK YOU and get down on my knees I suppose. (He went on and on and after I tried to ignore him he kept on some more) Well, let me just say ~ NEVER MESS WITH ME WHEN I AM TIRED! It's not a pretty sight. I scared the hell out of the guy and I doubt he will ever get out of line again. One of the CM's was LOL. I think the stupid guy was crying when he left. Once we went back to the room we crossed paths with the CM on a golf cart. He laughed and said, "I will never make you mad!" For some reason I came across some really STUPID people on this trip. Colleen has a picture of one of them. I'm sure she will tell you all about it!

We still had some CS meals to use up so we showered....got dressed and went to the food court at CBR. I was hoping to see my "friend" over there but no such luck. Oh well. The kids had some sand bucket meals and I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. I know I took pics. Hmmm. Wonder where they are. If I locate those I will add them tomorrow. I'm heading to bed now in this TR as well as in real life. Until next time...

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

I'm sorry I missed all of you guys well I was down ther at the same time but things just didn't seam to work out.

We were wondering what happened to you! We sat out by the pool a couple of nights at Pop. We figured you'd find us. How did you not see us at some point!? Seems like I saw Jenn every time I turned around. I missed CharacterFan too and she was at Pop. We missed quite a few people. How was your trip!? Did you have a good time?

I'm here!! I'm here!!
Can't wait to read all about it - LOVE your reports.

Welcome!!! So glad you're reading along!

 

[wdwgirl03]

I know. Hey, I called! I would have come right over to WL to say Hi but I wasn't going unless invited!

haha, yes that is true! Now why didn't I think of that?! You could've come over to the WL, that would've been fun. Hopefully sometime we'll have trips planned at the same time again and we can actually meet!

 

[ZeroToHero]

So nice to meet you!!! I wish we had taken a picture. <Duh!> Ya know what though....I saw you like 3-4 times and that's kind of cool. Right? So are you done with your edits? I saw those borders on FB. So cute! Your man did good!

I am very proud of him! And anything that lets me get pictures to use is a great thing! I rednecked the photos for Facebook off Photopass until we get the CD though...

Of course Gabby had to go the bathroom. I swear...I have visited every single bathroom in WDW!
I know what you mean! Have you ever been to the Mexico bathrooms? They have the coolest sinks!

"Why can't we just stay here!?"
I agree with her! That's where I want to stay next time, and your pictures made me definitely decide on there.

Well, no actually that's not what happened. I realized (an hour into our trip) that I did not have my ADR's made online. I had the AKL concierge search for them with no luck. I called Colleen and Jen and asked if I had sent them any info on my ADR's.

Oh no! Did you figure them out eventually?

THEN we went back to CBR and put on our swimsuits. It was time to get in the pool! Gabby, Bolt, and I went into the new pirate pool while Sid and Dash went into the sand castle pool. They didn't make it to the slides when it was suddenly shut down...yep! You guessed it. Floating POOP!

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!! Did they ever get to go on the slides, or were they ruined for them by that point?

After we got out I was looking around for the towels when some IDIOT asked me if I spoke English. He started running off at the mouth about me not closing a gate that he had "opened" for me. He was po'ed because I did not say THANK YOU and get down on my knees I suppose. (He went on and on and after I tried to ignore him he kept on some more) Well, let me just say ~ NEVER MESS WITH ME WHEN I AM TIRED! It's not a pretty sight. I scared the hell out of the guy and I doubt he will ever get out of line again. One of the CM's was LOL. I think the stupid guy was crying when he left. Once we went back to the room we crossed paths with the CM on a golf cart. He laughed and said, "I will never make you mad!" For some reason I came across some really STUPID people on this trip. Colleen has a picture of one of them. I'm sure she will tell you all about it!

I'm sorry that that guy was a jerk (I almost wrote another word, but realized this was a family forum, and not the feminine cares aisle in a drugstore... if ya get my drift.) But way to go for sticking it to him! I almost wish I was there... but I probably would have been dying laughing, and that might have ruined it.


And I remember that text message that I got from you - I can't wait to hear further details about those two!

 

[BigEeyore]

Hi! I'm in! Glad you are doing another TR Tammy - I know you felt a bit burned out after the last one. Looking forward to more!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

I'm here ladies!!

 

[heaven2dc]

Hurray! Another TR

btw I just became addicted to One Tree Hill this summer when we decided to disconnect our cable service saving some $$ and purchased those tv converter boxes to watch local channels. Well stupid me didn't realize you needed an antenna to hook up to those boxes and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the outdoor antenna hooked up (there is a bunch of wires from the previous owner's Direct TV antenna but not the wire coming down from the big antenna on the roof). So long story short - we've been watching dvd's all summer and I discovered Season 1 of One Tree Hill and loved it! Am up to Season 5 but the library here doesn't have it yet so guess I'll have to break down and find one used online to get caught up.

Back to the TR, love those pirate rooms! How cute are they You guys are real troopers moving ahead with the day after no sleep - great parents

Can't wait to read more

 

[SmithFamily2003]

The Pirate Room looks awesome! I am so glad they have new mugs. When I went in Feb., they still had the Million Year Dreams mugs, so this October I am finally getting a Celebration mug!! I can't wait to read more of your guys trip report.

[CharacterFan]

Joining in. Looks like I've got a lot to catch up on. Since it's already on page 3.

I'm going to make sure I stay away from everyone. I've got a cold or something. For about 24 hours we thought I might have swine flu. So I don't want anyone to get sick from my computer. lol

 

[Cinderelly5507]

I'm here!!! "Tired in an elevator" Love it!!!!!!!!!! I've been gone from here so long--when you cancel a trip and don't have another one planned, it's not much fun on here! I'll try to keep up though... can't wait to hear from both of you about your trips!!!

 

[WrightFamily06]
