Could we be any hotter??? Our JUNE Trip Report (Pics, Pics, Pics!)

[catherines_mama]

YAY! I'm so glad you woke up feeling better! Being sick on vacation is SO horrible, I am glad it passed quickly. What food do you think is to blame?

LMAO at your screaming at the SF. I don't blame you ONE BIT!

Can't wait to hear from your FUN FILLED day!

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

Guess you should have banged on their door earlier. Glad you weren't so sick that you couldn't go on to MK.

I agree! If it worked now, I should have done it earlier! I'm SUPER glad I wasn't sick too!

So sorry you were sick. Ya know, in reading these
TR's so many people get sick at diz. Probably so
many people spreading a lot of germs YUK!
Also, the plane can't be germ free by any means!!
Those folks next door were just plain RUDE
You did good by telling them off! You rock
girl!!! Can't wait to hear the rest!
By the way, love your home!

I agree-- I hear that a lot of people get a cold/allergy/sneezy kinda sickness. I think there's just so many germs everywhere there... So many kiddos that have everything under the sun, that sometimes you just catch it from riding the bus, flying, etc. I'm so glad it wasn't any worse!

Thank you so much for loving my home too! I love it too!!!

Ahh, that anti-nausea medicine is a miracle drug! I know all about that one! I'm sorry you got sick, but I'm so glad you were feeling better after a few hours! You can't be sick at Disney!!

I know girl, isn't it THE BEST?????? I'm so glad I felt better so soon too! I was so thankful!

Courtney, I am in a real delima here. I can't wait to read more, but don't want your trip report to end either.

Awww... Don't worry-- I'll try to take DM and CKs advise and stretch it out a little. Truthfully, it just depends how much time I have to write. If I have time to write the whole day, then I will, but if not, I at least want to get something out to post =)

OMG, I have tears in my eyes. If I was sick and they were being loud I would have done the same thing. So funny though!

Yes--- At that point, I had no choice- I was so fed up with them!

My DD and I are loving your report!! And she age 11 loves your hair She just donated 14 inches of her hair to Locks for Love and is now into "styles"

I just have to ask--what medicine are you talking about? I have the worst stomache and I would love to have something like that on hand!

Yay! I'm so glad you and your daughter are reading! That's so special that you can read it together! And I SO totally admire her for donating to locks of love. I think that's one of the most special things that a child can do. That's so sweet and selfless.

Oh, and the medicine is prescription. They prescribe it for stomach bugs... The sapasatory (sp??) type. But my friend who's preggers said they prescribed her the pill version in case she gets morning sickness.

Being sick on vacation is the worst All those months of planning....thankfully it seem to be short lived. You are not the only one who can't stand drivin' the porcelain bus.

I can't wait to hear your report on the PTC. It's one of our favorite restaurants at WDW.

Take care,
TK

Hi TK!
I know-- I'm so glad it was short lived!

And I seriously laughed out loud at "driving the porcelain bus" .... That's the funniest thing EVER! And I'm totally stealing the phrase from you! Oh-- another one that's funny is bubble guts. Hahahaha! Kinda gross, but funny!

Oh- check out one of my earlier posts- I also reviewed 50's there--- We went on our first night as well, and it's THE BEST!!!! I love that place!

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

Oh, I'm sorry you were sick. That is the worst...esp. when you are on vacation.

I'm happy that you finally told them to shut-up. I hate when people think they own the hotel and everyone else can deal with it.

Your dog is so cute!! She makes the perfect model.

Hi Drea!

They totally acted like they owned the place, and I was done with that attitude of theirs! I told them! Finally =)

Thanks so much! Maddie is a very cute model... Sometimes she's stubborn, but usually she does pretty well when I'm taking pictures of her!

Thanks again!

Do we really have to read about your fun with Ryan??

DM- -- Get your mind out of the gutter!!!!! Shame on you

You know, that cute little southern drawl, like CK's!

Yeah, CKs from down here around the bottom part of the US too! We talk a little slower and a little lazier than yall up there!

I'm a good thrower-upper!

Seriously???

Awww...you were even worrying about missing out meeting up with me! I would have been extremely disappointed if we didn't meet up. I would have tried to find a way somehow, someway....

Billy loved that outfit for lil Emmy. I put in on top of her when she was laying down and it's soooo big right now, but next year she will be cute as a button and totally original up here! Thank you so much!

I'm so glad it worked out.... Us meeting, etc. I looked forward to it for so long and I wasn't going to have this ruin it! At least I hoped not!

That really sucks but at least you weren't throwing up and you go to sit down...

I agree =)

Totally awesome. I would have done the same, only earlier...

Yeah, I finally voiced my opinion on the matter!

Add having a wonderful husband to the list of Courtney's unfair qualities...

And your husband is WONDERFUL too... Don't even act like he's not... Sweet RB!

Yes folks...the time you have all anticipated. My debut in Courtney's TR.

BTW Court, DawnMaree is spelled all together, no space...just saying.

What??? I've gotten it wrong all this time! I guess I've only typed DM and not actually your entire long name =) Sorry 'bout that =)

May I make a suggestion? Break up your next installment in a couple different posts. MK for one, MGM for the other the next day... Come on...drag it out for us.

I'll see how far I get tomorrow... It may be that way b/c I really have a lot of pictures, so I may make it last a little longer!

I am so glad you finally put those neighbors in their place. Good going girlfriend. Another great installment. I cant wait to hear what comes next!!!

That's right girl! I appreciate the support! Thanks =)
Glad you're here reading!!!

Yeah, drag it out like me. I am still on day 1 and I have done at least 4 or 5 installments. Who knows. It's all so RANDOM!

As random as the A.C???? I am loving your report! It's so down to earth and fun to read!

Dana and I ADORE potatoes!!! Bob likes them, but we LOVE them. When Dana was born, she was very pudgy and my little brother nicknamed her "Potato" and the name has stuck. (only Uncle Joe can call her it, however! - how many almost 14 year olds want to be called "Potato"?!?! of course - "Miss Twiggy" that she is now makes the name all that funnier! )

And, don't you go trying to fool anyone.... Ladies & Gentlemen - Courtney has the BEST SOUTHERN BELLE ACCENT you'll ever hear!!!

ps: glad you liked the reading... definitely "pass it along".

Renée

How funny about Dana's nick-name! I LOVE potatoes too!!!!! And yes, Dana is anything but a potato!!!! She is little Miss Twiggy!

Thanks Renee--- My accent is very Louisiana!

 

[Lil'DisneyMom]

OK, I have NO idea how to quote, but you replied to me with this:

First of all, congrats on the baby in the belly! How Exciting!!!!! Boy or girl? Any names picked out? So fun!

Secondly, I’m SUPER glad you came out of lurking!!!! Yay!!!! And thank you so much for picking my TR to read and post! I’m so glad you’re here! Thanks so much!

LOL.. So anyways, Our son is named Zachary, and we are thinking of Emily for this baby! What do you think???

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

I am so glad that you werent sick for the next day at Disney... I would never wish sickness on anyone during a vacation~ so I am very happy that you were ok! I am also one of the thousands looking forward to hearing more of your tr... and last but not least....

FINALLY- the Southern Girl showed her "bad girl" side.... Being from NY i would have said something the first night and they probably would have left dead stuffed animals in front of my door!!!

Looking forward to more fun!

Oh, just noticed-- Congrats on the new baby! How exciting!!!!
And yes, I finally showed my little mean streak! But it worked!!!!

I laughed when you wrote that--- especially about the dead stuffed animals! So funny!

Glad you are reading and looking forward to more!

Thanks so much!

OMGoodness!! that is PRICELESS
!!!!

And let me say, I am EXACTLY THE SAME!!!! You would not (well then, maybe YOU would!) believe what I bring with me - the heating pad and every stomach medication imaginable!!! I have the WORST stomach and I HATE to throw up, too! I also hate to be anywhere NEAR anyone ELSE in the situation. (thank goodness Dana was never a "spitter upper"!) When I taught, everyone in the school knew it and the kids would say, "Mrs. B doesn't do vomit."

Side note: could all of that FOOD CONSUMPTION have had something to do with your tummy ache?!?!

PS: Love Miss Maddie's modeling photos!!
Renée

Hahahaha!!!! YES! That food consumption does have something to do with our tummy aches! We go to dinner every Friday night... Ryan always wants to run errands after, but I always have to come home b/c my stomach starts hurting!!!! And when I do have the throw up virus, he's in the bathroom with me every single time.... I want him there, and he doesn't mind. But if he has it, I run!!!! I close the door and completely go in the other room b/c I can't hear it!!!!! I'm such a bad wife!

Oops.... Didn't realize that! NO SPACE!

Glad I'm not the only one!

Loving that you are "dragging it out"!

Good! It's not intentional-- It's just I didn't realize how long this took, so I keep running out of time!

Ok - that made me laugh hysterically, because it is SO TRUE!!! (and especially after meeting Courtney - she is so sweet and darling - NEVER would she do the "typical New Yorker" response!) But, me being from NJ and having worked in Manhattan a number of years ago, I know EXACTLY what you mean, Jrabbit!

Renée

I definitely have a little prissy, demanding side... I won't deny it... But I try to be nice, but sometimes, I just can't! Just ask Ryan =)

Oh I'm so glad that you finally gave the S.F. what for!!! They completely deserved it! I probably would have done the same or reported them to the front desk long before then!!

I'm sorry you got sick but am glad you got over it fast. That "I'm gonna throw up" feeling is the absolute worst - how awful :/ that sort of thing should be outlawed at Disney!

and now, remember, you encouraged me to do this ...

I bring you, Miss Zoe, the cat. Infringing on a dog's world ....

your TR now has the Feline Touch!

SO precious!!!! I love the name Zoe! And I think your Zoe is ADORABLE!!!!

Precious little feline =)

And you know what???? I finally did report them to the front desk... The next day--- Coming up in tomorrow's installment!

 

[LouDisney]

Courtney, I am so sorry you were sick and being sick it awful...period, but being sick on vacation is the worst. I am so glad it did not last long and you were ok.

And Court, you can go with me on any of my trips. I am making the best of my AP Me and one of my best friends, we always go in Sept. I have a family trip in Oct. and December was kind of last minute...so to speak. I have always wanted to be there on New Years Eve...I may ask what have I done, when I see the crowds, but at least I have done it once.

 

[castawaymam]

Courtney, SO PROUD of YOU for telling them to Shut Up!. Loving your TR. Had me laughing as I was catching up from 7/7.

Thought I would share a pic of one of my many pets.

this is Butterscotch sitting in the computer room window.

 

[LouDisney]

Abbybeth, you cat is beautiful!

 

[abbybeth]

Abbybeth, your cat is beautiful!

thank you! I'll tell her (not that she needs to ego boost! )she was a rescue cat - can you believe someone just abandoned her and one of her litter mates when they were 5 weeks old?

oh do I LOVE orange cats! My first cat was orange and I think I'll always have a soft spot for them! Butterscotch is gorgeous! (love the name too - butterscotch is one of my favorite flavors...)

sorry Court, it's turned into the Dog/Cat Fanciers Associate National Pet Show! Maddie is still the best dressed though!

 

[Goofyluver]

I LOL'd at you bangin' on that door! You far outlasted what I would have been able to...now you know maybe you should have done it earlier! I'm also glad you felt better so quickly! Goodness...that's one of my fears---getting sick at Disney. Ummmm...since everyone is throwing theirs in...we call them the gut busters...anywho---glad you felt better soon!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Adorable dog pics!

Good job shutting those noisy neighbors up!

I'm impressed that you still got up early after a night like that. I guess at Disney World, anything is possible, right?

 

[Jillpie]

I






Hi TK!
I know-- I'm so glad it was short lived!

And I seriously laughed out loud at "driving the porcelain bus" ....
!

Courtney, if you think THATS funny, you've gotta go check out her trip report! Between you and her, its better than goin to the movies at night! She's hilarious and its very entertaining, just like yours.

 

[bentleygirl22]

i'm sorry you was sick... but atleast you work up feeling better.. woo hoo

 

[babieemelly]

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that you were sick. I got sick on our trip in 2005, too, and it wasn't fun. I'm glad you felt better the next morning, though! And I was cracking up over you banging on the wall!! They deserved it! And could Maddie be any cuter?!!

 

[Brae's Mom]

Well Courtney, I came out of lurkedom to read your TR and I just had to post. You and Ryan are the sweetest couple ever. You look like you have so much fun together. I found your TR yesterday and I finally reached the end this morning. Great job I must say. I am completely enjoying it.

Also wanted to give you Kudos for telling the people next door to shut up. I probably would've done the same thing.

Can't wait for your next installment. p.s. Maddie is adorable, love the outfits.

 

[1andrea]

Courtney,

Just finished reading your trippie its great!

Wish we had met on the ToT meet, we were probably on the ToT at 9pm we rode twice cos the line was so short, we got to walk straight into the library no wait at all. Our second ride was done by 9.15 then we waited for you all til 9.45- 9.50.

We must have just missed each other!

Andrea

 

[kaysmommie]

So glad you screamed at the SF next day, you should have done it sooner. I freak out too when my stomach hurts because I hate puking and even when my kids get the virus I get freaked out. I also don't want to catch it from them LOL. I run around cloroxing everything in the house . I hope if and when you have kids you don't get morning sickness

 

[lgcountry]

Ok, I am all caught up. Came over from DM's TR (where I am also caught up)

Let's see Love the pics, love the house, love the puppy dogs, ok ok, just love the entire TR. So much fun to read. I will have to figure out picture posting so I can add my pup, Pretzel.

Wow, I've been TRing for 2 whole days now. Better get some done, then read more.

 

[FauntleroyFAN07]

Sorry to hear about your neighbors.

Are the walls that thin at all the value resorts? Or does the noise travel more through the connecting doors in those rooms.

Glad you told them off. I am the heavy sleeper so I am sure that DW will be the one that gets up and pounds on the wall if we have a noisy neighbor.
