Colleen's Aug/Sept trip report....

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Jen ~ So so cute! I always wondered why WDW didn't sell a MP dress. They will probably sell one any day now that Gabby wants nothing to do with dress up. I got a free offer from Shutterfly for 12 free cards. I made 3 out of 12 Halloween cards with pics from MNSSHP. I can not wait to see them. Everything I have ordered from them so far has looked amazing! We got a free calendar, note cards, poster, and prints w/ Dash's camera and then they sent me a free photo book and that OMGosh! I LOVE their stuff!!! You get those a lot right? Who do you think puts out the best one? I was thinking about doing that for Christmas gifts this year.


Sarah ~ You have to go to DQ one day! If you like video games at all you have to see this place. Heck, even if you don't like video games this is a whole different kind of experience. One could spend a whole day there really.

Danica ~ They ship a lot of stuff out of SC so it's possible to get the thing before they send the email. That's happened once. They send them UPS and make ya sign for them now, which I'm much happier about. Before when we would order stuff I'd have to wait on the neighbors to bring it to me....the UPS guy was dyslexic or something? Luckily I have honest neighbors. Ha ha.

I enjoyed the Boardwalk that day. It was tranquil.

Girl...at one point I'd just text Colleen and tell her I just got ______ (insert gross substance here)! It was constant. One night I was at AKL for dinner. I saw a PP person in the lobby so I took the kids over to take a picture by the guy. They had their orange sodas sitting on the outside of the guys lil set up. Just filled up from dinner. This kid walks by, must have been 10-11 years old, alongside his mother and takes the drink and slams it down on the mans carpet! There was soda all over the rug he was working off of, and me of course. It splashed onto the back of my legs. Here I thought I was going to get through ONE day without getting _____ and this kid gets me. The mother was like, "OMGosh, sorry!" and I just busted out laughing. By now it was funny when these things would happen. I looked at the PP guy and said, "I didn't do it! LOL" Back to Pop for a wash down....

Great update Tammy Sounds like you all had a very fun day at BB , can't wait to see the photopass pictures ! The food at the Big River Grill , looked very delicious ! It also looks like you had a blast at DQ , we always have this option on our ticket it but never gets used DH doesn't really care for it and he loves video games , so that surprised me . It sounds like there was also some exciting times had durning your dismeet at the POP food court !

I wasn't sure if people on here know your name so I didn't use it just in case ya wanted to keep it private. I want to see my PP pics too! I wish they'd hurry. I want to do photo books for Christmas and I'd like to include some of those.

Was it really busy when you guys went to DQ? That could be why. I've been before when it was slammed packed and it drove me crazy! Once the kids get older he'll probably enjoy it more 'cause he can do alot more stuff with them. You really need to be a certain height to enjoy the place. I had a lot more fun this time around.

Just joining in and thankfully I'm joining in early! I hate trying to play catch up. First of all, I'm happy that you were able to fix the ticket situation. I'm still confused, but that is not unusual. It's o.k. that I don't get it, I'm just glad that you were able to find competent help.
Second, when I saw that thong picture, my hand went over my mouth and a gasp rang out! I THOUGHT you'd experienced that once before. Wasn't it at Beaches n' Cream? Are you sure you're not wearing a shirt that says "Show Me Your Thong" ?
Oh, and did you take advantage of Sid's sunburned face? You know, like touching it and saying "does that hurt? Does that hurt?" Sorry, that's what I would've done to my DH. Not sure if that's the kind of wife you are.

Sidney's shoulders were much worse. I told him all Summer....work topless. Get a little sun, base tan, you know. Did he listen? Not really. So knowing that he tans well he said NO to the sunscreen I offered. Big mistake!

Oh didn't I tell you guys...I bring a lil radio to WDW with me. It blares out the "Thong Song" all day. Maybe that's why I see so many.

Great trip report! Subbing

Tammy, so sorry to hear about your ticket issue. It really sucks when things like that happen at Disney, especially since we already spend so much money there! Glad the issue was resolved.

 

[jenseib]

Yeah, I like shutterfly for calenders and books. The pictures turn out better in them.

 

[teekee2]

Thanks a lot Tammy, now all I hear in my head is, "Thong, thong, thong, thong, thong..." argh! lmao I have made a mental note to buy a belt so that you don't photograph mine. haha Let me stop! I so think you should have a contest for December WDW's Funniest Picture...I'm in!!

Welcome!

Thanks! Yeah....that whole thing ruined the rest of that night. From now on I will have trust issues with Disney. It's a shame they would treat someone that way just because they couldn't figure something out.

Yeah, I like shutterfly for calenders and books. The pictures turn out better in them.

So you think they have the best stuff then? They are the only ones I've ordered from. I'm almost afraid to try anyone else. I know you said you had issues with the Disney book. Plus, they want a lot for it. Would you mind sharing it on here? I would like to see the cover and how the inside pages look.

OMGsoh that's right! You used to dance to that song at Thee Doll House. I had forgotten all about that!

Just kidding...I never saw her do that. (I heard stories though!) Again I'm just kidding.

Let's do it. After the trip we will all come back on here and post the craziest pics. LIMIT 5! That's a good bit to show off. Person with the best picture wins! Deal? Oh, and I don't know that we should be allowed to take pictures of one another....(Even if we are hanging out of something) Oh wait...not here. On the December trip report page. There I go getting all confused again. Gosh. I need to go for a walk.

I was seriously rolling reading you say that HAHA I wouldn't be surprised though since you seem to attract all those sexy thong ladies...NOT! LOL

I'm in for the picture contest! Over on the other thread but I knew what you meant LOL Only 2 more months I seriously CAN NOT WAIT!

 

[teekee2]

ROFLMAO! You are too funny Mrs. Thing! lol Anyway, you know I only danced there once, while I was pregnant...HA! j/k I'm too much girl to be dancing in a place like that. heehee So, no taking pictures of each other...fine...this is going to be fun, fun, fun!!

 

[29apr00]

1) that thong is just NASTY!!! Ew ew ew! seriously you know people can feel that breeze!! They WANT the atteniton! She's probably a lurker enjoying everyone looking at her booty!!

2) Big River Grill looks yummy!! the steak and shrimp looked pretty good!

3) poor tammy....that is pour your drinks on her! sorry! I'm sure at the begining it was rather annoying!!

Oooh girl ya know what I'm waiting on to start!!!! DH! Oh yeah. I read reviews that it's bad but who cares. That means I'll probably like it. I realized the new chick on the show is that girl I met last Summer. Shooter Jennings' baby mama. I had no idea she was an actress. Oh well. Can't wait. I'm getting excited for the trip now too.

Sorry to blow your cover. Oh and it doesn't matter if you're FAT, PREGNANT, or 75 years old....Secret's would hire ya to dance. Have you seen some of those women? Oh lordy lordy. Ya know when I was a young lady in my 20's I had quite a few stripper friends....they did NOT look like that! The surprising part is men still pay to go in and see them. You guys ever wonder why the strip clubs are so dark!? That's why. (Oh and so you can't see the sores and stuff! )

Stop! Stop it Tammy! I'm gonna be sick!

1) that thong is just NASTY!!! Ew ew ew! seriously you know people can feel that breeze!! They WANT the atteniton! She's probably a lurker enjoying everyone looking at her booty!!

Yep. I don't even call that stuff music. There I go sounding like Gavin again....but it is true. (Sorry Tiana, I know you love that song, I just can't take it anymore!) Oh and remember in one of my earlier trip reports saw this big woman with her entire crackside out....well a reader's family member was IN the photo. How crazy is that? I don't care if she's reading. You can't see her face so I did nothing wrong. Heck, even if you could SHE is the one doing people wrong!

2) Big River Grill looks yummy!! the steak and shrimp looked pretty good!

It's sooooooooooooooo good! I am salivating thinking about it right now!

3) poor tammy....that is pour your drinks on her! sorry! I'm sure at the begining it was rather annoying!!

Well, the first spill was that night at Pop. Not sure if it was the GS or the mac n cheese dumped on my lap. I was more disturbed at how the kiddos were acting than the gunk in my lap. I wonder what it's like to vacation and leave the kids at home with Grandma? I'll never know. Damn it!

 

[teekee2]

Tammy you are just gross...with a capital G. haha I know what you mean though! It may be a good thing that her face isn't showing but it's her fault that she had a fashion faux paus. (Think I spelled that right...)

 

[xoktenox]

DH in 54 mins! i cant wait, i need to see who Mike was marrying at the end of the last one. People think the show was bad last season too but I loved it and can't get enough. I'm so excited for it to start again, it makes my weekend LOL Which chick are you talking about, I can't remember! That's typical me for ya, I can't even tell you what I ate for breakfast this morning LOL

Longest hour of my life! JK I can't wait to see. The new girl...I can't even think of her name. I read about her last night in US. Maybe it was Drea? Whoever you see new...that girl. I liked last Season too. I think it will be Susan. How about you? They could axe all three of them and I wouldn't care.

OMGosh did you happen to check out that new show Cougartown? OMGsoh soooooooooooooooooo flipping funny! The show before and after was good too. DVR will burn up this year! Plus 90210 and MP!? Yes!

Haha! I think it was the Mac N Cheese first although I'm not positive!

I'm gettin really excited for December now too! I had to take my countdown off because DS was always over my shoulder reading! So we'll see how much longer I can make it with out the Newsy kids finding out!

OH! On dh do you ladies mean Carlos niece?

I was reading this, and was so lost, and would like to stay lost! Gross!!!!!!

One of the girls I used to go to school with is apparently a stripper now - she works the day shift.

I don't blame them, her face would turn a man right out a door if the lights were actually on!

 

[ladybugmom]

Oh my word!! This costume is GORGEOUS!!!! Where did you get it?! Did you make it?!

Well in that case the mac n cheese was washed over by the drink. Those green shorts are probably still stained.

You mean when I slipped they didn't pick up on it? How is that possible? I'm such a goofball. I swear.

DH=Des Hswvs

Sorry D.

She could do a feature spot at Secrets. That place is NASTY!

Oh my word!! This costume is GORGEOUS!!!! Where did you get it?! Did you make it?!

Isn't it cute!? She has to go back to WDW before Claire outgrows it so she can take a picture with Mary Poppins! Ya now I saw her with the fella and a penguin this past time but the line was closed by the time we got over to it. We've never met the penguins!

Speaking of pretty dresses....did you make those Minnie and Tink sets for your girls? They're so adorable!

YES!! That is one incredible costume!! I agree--she MUST take Claire back to WDW while she can fit into that costume!! Really?! We met Mary Poppins on our trip but she was all by herself. How fun to see her with the penguins!!

No, I didn't make Ally & Claire's Tink and Ariel dresses. I had them made before our Disney trip in May. I WISH I could sew!!

 

[Maureenmouse]

Yet again, you have visited places that I've never gone. We still haven't made it to a water park since Joe doesn't swim and I'd burn even more that Sidney. ( My eyelids were sooooo burned on our last trip to WDW.)
We've also never made it to Disney Quest, but hope to do so in the future. the place looks like so much fun. I bet my girls would love it, not to mention my husband.
Baby DS will probably have a fit about the cake picture when he gets older. Save that one for blackmail. I think it's adorable.
Are you planning a fall trip to the cabin? We're going to the Disney Christmas Carol movie train on the 2nd Saturday in Oct. It looks like fun. You should come. I know the drive is a killer, but it's free and you could fit ina visit to your grandma. Maybe my girls would be healthy this time and we could meet. Still waiting on my Dad about out plans to go to MB the last weekend in Oct. Do they do lots of Halloween stuff that my girls would like, or is it all too scary?
OK. Off to bed. Monday mornings come too early. Wish i could homeschool and sleep in!

 

[OneTreeHillAddict]

Me too! I have some cute ideas in my noggin but I could never make them.

Sunglasses!!!! That's all I have to say. I don't swim either. What's that have to do with going in the water. I bet he'd have a ball at the water parks if he tried them! It'd cool you guys down during the hot part of the day too.

We've also never made it to Disney Quest, but hope to do so in the future. the place looks like so much fun. I bet my girls would love it, not to mention my husband.

It's a FUN place! I enjoyed it a lot more this time with the kids being tall enough to do everything. (Except for the baby....)

I was considering a trip up there to do the apple thing but I don't think we can work it into our schedule. We have another Disney trip coming up and that Christmas Carol thing we plan to do in Charleston on the 23rd. You hear that Tiana? I keep forgetting to say something.

Broadway is probably the most fun place to trick or treat. It's really busy though. My kids asked last year if they could just go to neighborhoods. (They say the candy is better and there's not so many people...) They figure this stuff out quick don't they? We'll meet up with you guys though and hang out. They will enjoy that! If we get all of this mess done and come into some $$$ I might do a double train tour.

I'm going to put up the Pirate bed for sale on Facebook too. I wish I could find someone to buy all of the kids clothes that are too small. Gabs is in a size 8/10 now and all the other stuff needs to go. She has the cutest stuff. I was thinking about doing $6 on bottoms, $5 on Tops, $8 on sweaters/coats. Not to mention shoes...OMGosh this child has the shoes! Her feet grow like weeds too. Do you think that's asking too much? Everything is Gymboree, Baby Gap/Old Navy, or Disney.

 

[jenseib]

Oh my word!! This costume is GORGEOUS!!!! Where did you get it?! Did you make it?!

thanks!

I bought the dress from Claires dance studio. (well they ordered it for me) and I added a shirt we had under it. I had the hat from Easter a few years ago, it's a bit too small, but it works, and added to that. We bought the parasol at Michaels and added the bows. I also added the bows to the dress. I think I may ask my one friend of she can hem it a bit. It's so long. I also got her cute white boots, but you can't really see them becuase the dress is so long.
Hopefully we will go back in the next year or two and she can wear it then!
