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

[mandy200587]

Hi Mandy Thanks, we can't wait to get to Polynesian. Only 75 more days . You just got back from the Poly right? If so How was the housekeeping and the pool?
Nichole

Yes I did. We stayed in Hawaii. Housekeeping was great.

 

[Spartangirl]

Sorry about all your troubles at the airport, but glad you made it home safely!

You wrote a wonderful TR! And...I loved your last video...too cute!

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

Maaaan, yall just had all the luck in the world with AIRPLANES this trip, didn't you?

Oh, yes! Gotta love the airport delays and plane problems... Makes me want to drive everywhere now!

uh oh..... those dang delays are the WORST! We hit them going down and coming home, too! yuck yuck yuck!! Anxiously awaiting the next update!!

You didn't do "One Man's Dream"??? Oh, Courtney!!! I cry every time I see it. Julie Andrews narrates it, which is an added bonus for Dana & I!

It just chokes me up - he was such a visionary!

I got the same way with the "Milton Hershey" movie at HersheyPark... I'm just such a sucker for sappy stories...

Seriously - I love those two men!!!

And, see that, I KNEW Ryan drew that skinny neck Donald!!
Let me know when you want to book the "weekend in New Jersey"....

Renée

Ohh!! I love Julie Andrews and I love Walt, so I SHOULD HAVE one One Man's Dream!!! Dangit! Next time, it's on my "to do"!!!!

Yeah me! I picked the right one!

Oh no....far from the 10:30pm arrival time!?!?!? That is so NOT fun! I am dreading that on our return trip from the World. If it were DH and I alone it wouldn't be too bad, but we are traveling with an 8 and 5 year old!

Good job! And yes, WAY far from the 10:30 pm arrival time-- I just posted the other installment...

I picked the "right" one. That was a great game Courtney!!!

Thanks DM! Good job on picking the right one!

Nooooo! It can't be ending!!! I picked the "right" one too!

A++

See I Told you the you would Win...Like way back on Page 40 or something....& I noticed Jo called you out on the Game saying 6pgs in 24hrs....so I decided that I am going to do the same thing on my Pre Trip Report (see Below) & have a game for all those that like games It is going to be Titled #1 or #2 which will Disnedad Dooo next???? so you ought to come over & Vote!!!

Ohhh-- I have to come over to your TR!!!! Now that mine's winding down, I'll actually have time!

What a great update! I really think Ryan needs to pick something from the list for you since you did win! The Mickey bars are a bit messy, especially in the heat. I have never gone to the animation place but I want to now!!!! I hate to see your TR ending You need to get started on planning your next trip

Thanks Betsy!!!! The Mickey bar was way messy! And you will love the animation place! It's so fun!

courtney-knew that the right was done by a "right" hand and the left by a "left" hand. When I started teaching my Ryan to write his name he wanted to go "left". Kevin saw him one day and said see if he will write with his "right" so now he does. But can write with both, and when he plays soccer he always kicks with his left foot, never with his right foot.
stinks about your flights, but if you drive like we do all the time we go any where, you run into jams. This trip we had one that was in Charolette at evening rush hour, we sat there for an hour. We live an hour and a half from there. was so mad at the traffic.

Wow! I wish I could write with both hands! That's awesome! Yes, my Ryan does some things left handed and some things right handed... although he only writes with his left hand.

I hate traffic too!

That's too funny. Kinda hard to hear but funny. Is that you on the plane afterward where it gets cut off?

I just posted one that's easier to hear... That's us on Magical Express after...

No Hardly heard one at all

Exactly, thank you!

I love, love, love Louisiana accents! My Mama still has hers and it REALLY comes out when we're down there visiting her family or when she's on the phone with my Grandma!

Thanks girl! Yeah, I understand... When Ryan's around all of his Shreveport friends, he gets REALLY country sounding! It's so funny!

Whaaah thaink yew Courtney for letting us listen to your southern accent.

Whew, no problem!

Okay so I have lurked your entire report and absolutely think yall are the cutest couple. Way to photogenic I don't think you have an accent maybe its because I am from New Orleans, I live in Metairie now. People always say we have accents but I just don't hear it....unless you live down the bayou. I loved your trip report. Like I already said you to are toooo cute.

Yay!!!! So glad you're not lurking anymore!!!! Thanks so much for reading along, and posting! You don't think I have an accent b/c you probably sound just like me! Thanks for your nice comments!

OMG thank you soooo much for posting that video. Not only are you cute as a button but you sound soooooooooooo cute with you accent. I love it. You sound jusst as I imagined .Ryan sounds great too. He even sounded like Nick Lachey to me for some reason maybe its all the cuteness getting to me.

BTW my DS2 just came by and I played the video for him and he called you a "real princess".
Cant wait to hear about your trip home.

Awwww... Thank you so much! That's so sweet of you =)
And how sweet about your son too! Tell him thank you very much--- no princess here, although Ryan might argue that I act like one at times =)

I love your accent. And yea you can't hear it at all.

Thanks Allie! PS- I love the name Allie and I love how you spell it!

Sorry, youse guys, but that is NOT a good representation of
Miss Courtney's southern drrrrrraaaaaawwwwwwwlllll....

Renée

Now, what drawl might you be talkin' about my dear friend???? =)

Accent? I think people are crazy if they hear an accent.

Exactly-- no accent! Thanks for sticking up for me!

People tell me (FL/NC Girl) that I sound like Brittney Spears. YOU sound like Brittney Spears! LOL

I picked it up mainly in the "Really" and "Ready"! You are SO southern! LOVE IT!!

Hahaha! Well, Britney's home in Kentwood, is about 45-minutes away from mine! So, that would make sense!

Hey Courtney, thanks for posting the video, you are just as cute and sweet as you look in your pictures. accent? what accent?
I have a New Orleans accent.. sometimes people say it sounds like a jersey accent

I know when we are in WDW in Sept. I will be stalking the photopass people. Last time we were there we didn't have nearly enough pictures on our photopass. I had a hard time keeping up with the card.

I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your fleur de lis canisters and the silver fleur de lis dish that you have in your kitchen. I love them. You can pm me if you want.

Thanks for taking the time to share your trip with us. I am truly enjoying it; sad to see it come to an end.
P.S.- my dh is in Baton Rouge right now with his job.

I know what you mean about the New Orleans/New Jersey accent--- They do sound alike! Thanks for your nice comments!

Oh, and I got my canisters from market--- you know, the jewelry show? They are REALLY cheap there-- you just need to know a business owner to get in and since I'm a business owner with Waggin' Rags, I can get in free.

And the silver dish I got as a wedding gift. They have platters like it at Absolutely Genius on Jefferson Highway in Baton Rouge, and other little "house boutique" shops like that.

Hope your DH has a safe trip back home!

LOL!!!!!!!

I listened to that and heard..................myself! LOL!!! I love my southern accent....wouldn't trade it for the world. My friends from New York and Chicago get a kick out of it.

Isn't amazing how you think you know how you sound until you actually hear yourself and then you sound totally different. I always do that.

Hahaha! I would be willing to bet that your accent is a little thicker than mine! I know a few people from Alabama! I LOVE southern accents too!

And, yes, I HATE the way I sound on video!!!! It took a lot for me to actually post that! I figured, what the heck!

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

This "New Yawka" thinks that was awesome. HAHA!

Hahaha! Thanks Nicole!

Cute video Court! I can't wait to hear what happened on your trip home.

Thanks so much! Just posted the adventurous trip home =(

Cool video....yep no accent!

So did Maddie get her T-shirt or not?

Thanks!!! And no, Maddie didn't get her t-shirt! I was so bummed. She needed a small and all they had was medium and large =(

Wow, you had a fantastic trip and then had to deal with a horrible flight home....isn't that the way it always works?

By the way, I love, love, love your accent!

Thanks so much! And yes, the trip was so good, and the trip home was so bad!

Since I feel like I know you guys now after your report, I have a feeling you are keeping a close tally(is there a score sheet right next to the computer?) and the real reward will be bragging rights. In all fairness I will call it a tie. They are both good but I like the hat on the right and the eyes on the left. And by the way why isn't he wearing an LSU cap? Mike the tiger would've been so proud. And would it kill you to put a fleur-di-lis on his collar? Seriously I think the winner gets to go with me in Sept (can't wait).
Or maybe next time you go to the World the loser has to ride It's a Small World twenty times in a row while the winner gets a spa day at the Grand Floridian?

Okay--- You are about to make me laugh with your next post:

I hate it when I don't read to see that the answer to a question was already posted but I answer anyway.

Yes, this one... I laughed out loud!!!! So funny! Love it!

Adorable accent!!! Hate to see your trippie
end! Isn't back to reality awful??
Why oh why must all good things come to an
end

Thanks so much! Yeah, it was pretty awful that darn trip home!

You sound so cute! Can't wait to hear the ending but don't want it to end..lol

Aww... Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're here enjoying it! Thanks again!

Love the accent. We should of done a filming of the three southern accents when we were together. We don't have an accent like DM.

I know- we should have videoed ourselves! And yes, DM does have an accent!

I would have loved to have heard that! I did get to hear Courtney and Laura together - with husbands and kids included - us New Jersey people were outnumbered!!!!

Awww, sorry Renee! Yall were definitely outnumbered! I didn't even realize that! OMGoodness- that ride was SO fun!

I would post a video of me talking but the only one I have is of my horrid singing and I prefer to hurt no ears.

Yall will definitely NEVER hear me sing! I break mirrors!

 

[mom2my3kids]

I love your accent, we Hoosier's don't have one unfortunately. I was down in Tennessee along the West Virginia border a few weeks ago and wow they have some accents there also..

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

Aaaahhhhh the RIGHt way to talk!!!!! Love it girl!! Nothing like a La or Txn accent!! My husband came to see what I was doing and he was like "what accent they don't have an accent" He's from La!!!
Geaux Southern Accents!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly, no accent =) Now, those northerners on the other hand... =)

Glad I picked the right picture Loved your video although I couldn't hear you very well as I hardly heard an accent and you must have one right!

Yay for you Jo! Check out the latest video, it's easier to hear.

Very Cute accent Courtney!!

I love listening to people from the South talk!! LOL

Thanks so much! I think people from the South love talking as much as you love to hear them talk! =)

Cute video! Your accent is lovely!

Looking forward to your next installment...travel delays are the WORST! I hope you both got that day off from work you were talking about on the video!

Thanks so much =)

Yes, travel delays are the worst!!!!

You know, I don't always read through the posts but I definitely saw that.

I most certainly DO NOT HAVE an accent. Central New Yorkers have no accents!

Yep you do, DM!

I use to work doing promotional work with a modeling agency.
Many of the people I worked with would come from down south and would travel up here to the north to do promos. By the end of the weekend, I would be talking the talk just like them. I sometimes have a southern accent, as my Dad was from Kentucky. I love the southerner accent.

When we were in WDW in 2005, a CM approached us waiting for the fireworks, and straight out said you folks from up north, we said YEAH how'd ya know? He said let me guess Pennsylvania We were shocked! He said you all have such a northern accent. I was like really?

What I loved the most from the video was hearing the music of the world in the background. !

How funny! Yes, it definately rubs off on people who don't usually talk that way! We talk real lazy.... We don't finish all of our words and we talk slow sometimes.... So, it's an EASY accent to have!

I know, wasn't the music in the background great???

Cute accent! I think you sound like Brittany Spears. I don't think you look like her though, your much cuter than her. I think she is kind of grose though . People here in TN say I have and accent , they think I sound like I'm from Staten Island, obviuosly they have no clue what people from Staten Island sound like. I guess I talk too fast for them to keep. My DD7 is starting to talk with a southern accent .

She's gotten a little gross lately, but I still think she's beautiful when she makes herself up.... OMgoodness, I LOVE the TN accent!!!! Love it!

you are right, you dont have an accent! the only thing i've found people upstate to say different are their 'a'. i dont really know how to explain it, so hopefully you get what im saying. im from long island, and go to school in CT with a bunch of people from Boston. apparantly, I have the worlds strongest accent to them! and mines not even that bad.

Thanks! I knew I didn't have an accent!

I agree with Kaysmommie. Can't wait for your Photobucket to be back up and running!

Thanks, should be back up tomorrow!

Well from the sound of it... your not going to enjoy the flight home are you?!?!? and from what I heard on the video u and ur man sound so sweet...
Its funny cause no matter where you are from everyone thinks the other person has an accent....and being from NY I hear it all the time....
people tell me that I sound like the girl on King of Queens(only softer).... I didnt think she had an accent!!!

We actually enjoyed the flight home--- ONCE we were ON IT!!!! hahahaha!

Leah R from KofQ does have an accent!

I didn't hear an Accent at all.

Thanks =)

You didn't think the girl on "King of Queens" had an accent???!! I'm born and raised in New Jersey, and I even think she has an accent!!

I, however, have NO accent....

Side note: Courtney and DM do have accents! End of side note...

Renée

I think she has an accent too.... And Renee, your accent isn't as big as DMs!

Hi fellow Jersey Girl I think Leah Remini has and accent too although I'm probably more used to being from NJ. Everyone thinks everyone from any other place has and accent I guess .

Courtney I'm guessing the end of your trip isn't pleasant at all .

No, not pleasant... Just posted the details!

 

[Lil'DisneyMom]

Cute video Courtney!

I can't believe you TR is done!! That is so sad

 

[Lil'DisneyMom]

Cute video Courtney!

I can't believe your TR is done!! That is so sad

 

[CourtneyandRyan]

Accent ? What accent?

Thankyouverymuch!

No way! Courtney certainly does. Ryan sounds more cajun.

Renee has a big Jersey Girl accent.

And little ole me most certainly DOES NOT HAVE an accent. Case closed.

Ryan's a little hick =)

And case back open- you do have an accent =)

I think you sound like Brittney Spears also, But with MUCH more class ..

I just saw a video of that crazy girl in the ocean with her undergarments-- not a swimsuit!!!

Courtney...Really great TR!! I have read it all & have seen the GREAT pics for the 2nd installment....looking forward to tomorrow so I can see the rest! Just want to let you know that we are DVCers...have been going to Disney for many years (1st trip was b4 we were married; we just celebrated our 33rd anniv.), and WE HAVE NEVER BEEN TO THE MAGIC OF ANIMATION!!!! Never knew that the audience can draw; thanks so much for introducing me to it! Can't imagine my character looking anything like either of yours, but it sure will be fun to try!!
Hope you return again soon to grace us with another fabulous TR....and hope you get to return over & over again in the future as we have. You two make a beautiful couple and will have beautiful children; I don't think you'll be able to wait until (s)he is 8 to go with him or her, tho!! There's something about seeing the magic through your child's eyes!! Thanks again for the great report.

Thanks Gina! I'm so sorry you weren't able to see all of the first bunches of pictures!!! Tomorrow should be the day that they are viewable again! WAHOO! And, congratulations on 33 years! That's wonderful!!!!! And you 100% need to make it a point to go the Magic of Disney Animation next time! It's so fabulous!

Thank you so much for your super nice comments! I really appreciate you reading, posting, and saying such nice things!

 

[Disneyolic]

Hey where's Rob Thomas?

Ah! You noticed. Well, I liked my WeeMee right now. Plus, Rob Thomas is on My Space so I can drool at him over there and listen as well. But you still can't have him!

Ryan's a little hick =)

And case back open- you do have an accent =)

So I was right about the little cajun sound in Ryan's voice! I think we need to do a showdown! I'm not gonna spill the beans here right now tho. I'll PM you!

 

[SingingMom]

And to close out the TR, before the make-up tips, here's a word of thanks:

Oh Courtney, that video was FABULOUS!!! You are such a doll!!!!
I wish everyone could have been as lucky as Bob and Dana and I to meet you and Ryan in person! We just LOVED 'y'all!!!

Hugs to you both!!!
Love, Renée

 

[Lil'DisneyMom]

So sorry about that double post!

 

[carrinas1018]

Courtney, I have so enjoyed your trip report! You remind me so much of myself in so many ways! I do not have your writing ability though
My husband & I live in Tampa and we just went to Disney this past week.
Had a BLAST & ended up buying annual passes. We have been Universal Passholders for the past two years & we are Hooked on Disney now!! I love Figment, slow dark boatrides, I am a PLANNER, I eat atleast if not more than him, he HATES having his picture taken , he says I am like a kid whenever we experience things like this (like that's a bad thing!!)
I love that you take pics of the ride pics! Can you believe I have actually bought these in the past?! Thank you so much for taking the time to fill us in on your wonderful trip (aside from loud neighbors & crappy flight delays) but I am happy to hear you made it home safe & sound.
Only difference in opinion I see is I love GIANT dogs! I own two mastiffs & an american bulldog Your Maddie is adorable though & I'll bet she was so happy to have you both home!

 

[pamouselover]

Make up tips...I can not wait!
By the way, people from JERZEE have accents big time!
Most still have big hair too!
I love Jersey tomatoes!

 

[scottny]

Great report, sorry to see it over. Looks like you both had a great time. Your right, planning is 1/2 the fun so here is planning to January 2008 for me and to when ever you 2 choose to go again.

 

[pierresgirl]

What a crazy trip home! I was in NYC yesterday heading to Grand Central when that explosion happened so I can TOTALLY relate! It was a nightmare.

Your video is adorable and I've really enjoyed your whole report!

 

[lauren_elizabeth]

Courtney! I loved the last video you posted - you sound just like my family down south! LOVE IT!!

Can't wait for your makeup tips! Yay!

 

[Jrabbit910]

What a crazy trip home! I was in NYC yesterday heading to Grand Central when that explosion happened so I can TOTALLY relate! It was a nightmare.

Your video is adorable and I've really enjoyed your whole report!

The city was a mess... glad you got home safe....

Courtney... Glad you made it home w/ mom in waiting... I wish things worked out better for you. Your TR was wonderful. I really really enjoyed it... Like I said before there arent many tr's that keep me going but yours did and I am glad that I have read every page....It was worth it... I look forward to many more tr's from u, ryan & maddie.... (and maybe there will be another addition at that time?!?!? )

 

[Nicole786]

I aspire to have your southern charm!! Loved the TR, there better be a Pre-TR in the making!!

 

[pixe*dst]

I agree--the accents are up north

By the way, I saw that Southern Living At Home Bucket & stand in your video--I have one just like it. Selling that stuff helps support my Disney addiction.
