[buzz1121]

Nebo or Smidgy, when are you guys leaving? The next trip is right around the corner!

And Nebo, you can breath a sigh of relief....no green things other than lettuce were consumed for dinner tonight in the Buzz household.

 

[shan23877]

Happy Birthday Marita!

[cp'ersmom]

Thanks, Nebo. I'll give you a hint, it's 2 digits

OK, OK, 49 and holding for a long time now...

Was your birthday on the 10th! That's my birthday too! Happy b-lated B-day!

everything will be alright in the end and if it isn't alright, then it isn't the end.

 

[cp'ersmom]

The first time I took my daughter on BTMR she screamed "I want to go back to the hotel RIGHT NOW!" this was in the middle of the ride. We still laugh about that. luckily the scars didn't last long, I'm a quick healer!


Thanks Nebo, I asked my DH if he knew the first few notes of KKF and now he's been signing it all morning!

This chapter proved one thing, no matter how many times or how often you go, there is always something new to do at WDW! You two are so cute!

I'm headed to DL next week! Looking forward to Carsland but now I won't bother with the Mermaid ride if the line is long. Thanks for the heads up!

Great chapter! Thanks!

everything will be alright in the end and if it isn't alright, then it isn't the end.

 

[cp'ersmom]

Now he's singing Turning Japanese! Thanks Nebo!

LOL about your DD.

Have a great time at DL. The Mermaid lines have not been long at all, sometimes non-existant. Carsland? That's another story. Fast passes to the Racers are gone by 9 a.m. W/o an FP, the wait was 4 hrs. when we were there. Just a heads up.

Nebo in the blown glass store??

Isn't that just tempting fate....or Murphey, the maker of laws?

Just picturing the damage you could do in there is hilarious...

There's a similar type of store in Germany/Italy that also scares the crap out of me but I love to look around in there,,, and along with the blown glass statues you also get extremely expensive Hummel figurines to not break. A bit more of this will be coming up in a new chapter.

Yes, you definitely get some traffic when your husband gets arrested. Wonder if Riglee will ever come back to the DIS.

I don't think so,,, and I was never really sold on the "legitamacy' of her story,, not that it mattered.

Or if you want to sound like Yoda.

Hmm, Yoda doing Kung Foo Fighting.

I miss the old policy too.

no kidding, now I'mm not sure what to do when we go with the kids next month.
I read this about five times and kept picturing you crouched on top of the castle.

The sometimes the simplest little typo can totally derail a good joke. A fly landed on the blown glass Castle,,, and I was going to swat it, that's why Smidgy screamed.





Mine too. Although we did make an exception with Soarin a couple years ago because there was no other way we would ride it that trip. We waited about 45 minutes but the interactive games helped pass the time.

Yeah, guess I'm back to the twenty minute time frame again.

Not Nebo-proof though.

No, I lost that great watch.
I replaced it witht the same thing almost exactly, cost 28 bucks I think and had it for about 5 years.
Again,, it worked perfectly, and no, this time I didn't lose it.
The band broke and I couldn't find a decent replacement so I ended up buying the same watch again, again.
I still have THAT replacement,b ut the glass front is all scratched up, and I don't care.

Now, you're making me go through the alphabet trying to think of something better. Booly, Duly, Newly, Wooly, Zooly... Nope.

Good, mission accomplished.

Not even a drip, Skip?

You must really hate broccoli.

along with aparagas, lima beans, cauliflauer, navy beans, green beans, spinach,,, and the grand daddy of hatred itself,,, Brussels Sprouts.
I even quit watching Jean Claude Van Damme movies.
( go ahead, make my day and tell me the connection)

Mint chocolate chip ice cream?

Now you're talkin'!

Nice photo!

I always liked that standard line, "nice photo". "You look like crap in the picture, but it really was a nice photo, got the lighting just right."

That's a nice pool. We stayed there a couple years ago.

Yeah, for a "quiet pool" we like it a lot.

Twirled when you should have whirled?

DOn't STRART!

Aw. That's sweet.

Ok, what's the big deal about talking?

Happened to me in '07 too. Right after a trip to Disney. Luckily, I found something before my severance ran out...with a direct competitor. Revenge is sweet. My old magazine folded a couple years later.

that's wonderful, but I hope you never have to go through it again..



The sippers are back!

Great chapter as usual Nebo! You guys look so happy in the photos.

"You look like crap in the pictures, but at least you look happy."
Laura, don't forget,,, everybody had to have a rocking chair picture taken, don't forget.
Mony Mony almost drowned the last time trying to get that picture taken,,, but she came through!

Great chapter!


My daughter gets broccoli with everything. Chicken, steak, cheesburgers....... I don't know where she gets all that healthy eating from!!

jake, don't talk it too seriously,, sometimes things just end up out of our control, and our kids are going to let us down no matter how we raised them, but she's stil young, and may yet turn around.

What about....

"Not a sprinkle, Rip Van Winkle!"

Sorry, I couldn't resist!!

This is where I would have told Ponzi,
"Please try!"

Jay

 

[pkondz]

Comments take... oh nevermind.

Here.

Sorry,, I could NOT think of a title for this chapter.

I’m noticing that sometimes a title just screams to be noticed and other times it’s a real chore.

That oughta tick a lot of people off when they find out I lied,,

We don’t lie. We embellish.

that's the kind of thing folks like to read about, along with the first time your hubby gets arrested.

Despite the controversy surrounding it… I don’t know if there’s ever been a better hook for a title.

Nowhere, is the answer to where were we staying.
Cool huh? Did you just see that? I started with Nowhere, and progressively just kept dropping letters from that word to end up with "we".

e

Tuesday morning I got up early to test out my back.

Whoops! Typo. That’s Test Track, not Test Back.

Actually, Test Back would be very popular among middle age and up, hunched over people.

I get the feeling that Epcot attendance is really dropping with Test Track being closed, and Tuesdays were always big Epcot days.

They really ought to bulldoze the Wonders of Life pavilion and put something good in there. And not another simulator ride either.

I'm too old and feeble to go back to crisscrossing and running all over the parks to make a fastpass time.

Old and feeble minded. Not a great combination.

Luckilly, we've done it all, so we'll really just play it by ear right now.

Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt?

the sunlight is so bright I can't read the back display to see if it's taping or not,

When I first saw the pic with your feet, I must admit I was a little puzzled.

A lot puzzled.

I had to bend over and cover up all the light best I could

Bend over to see where the sun don’t shine?

TMI.

Ok boys and girls,, you knwo the routine, turn up the speakers and let your mind wander.

Oh, I have no problem letting my mind wander. Ever notice that wander and wonder are very similar both in spelling and pronunciation. And why is it ‘pro’-‘nun’-ciation. Is there an association for amateur clergywomen? I can’t spell association without smiling (vertically) but I can say it without batting an eye. Why would you bat an eye? Aren’t bats blind? And if you owned a pet bat, would you have to keep the blinds drawn? And why do you draw a blind but shut your eyes?

Uh… what were we talking about?

I saw a litst of all these incredible treats that qualify as snack credits and oh was it good.
Oh, was it good.

Oh, was it good.

Right up to this point, I thought you were raving about how good it was.
“Oh, was it good! Probably the best I’ve had!”

I remember just pointing at something under a glass and drooling in it 's general direction and that's what they gave me.

They served you some drool? I’ll pass, thanks.

Smidgy said I had some kind of eclaire,,, and i was a little let down by it she said. I wish I had been there so I could have given you MY opinion of it.

Do you really think your opinion matters after Smidgy’s given it for you? I know that’s how it works with my DW.

But she also has a hard time remembering what SHE had.
Bottom line,,,, I think, the breakfast snacks were ok, just not something to go out of your way for.

For the life of me, I can’t recall for sure if I’ve ever eaten at Main St. Bakery. I mean, I must have… I just don’t remember.

Oh, oh. There’s another similarity between us.


This is not good.

I remember trying to finish up eating as quickly as I could cuz this still felt just wrong,, as everybody else is charging for the rides.

But wasn’t it kinda fun to watch everybody sprint past in a panic?

But right next door in a connecting room is a glass blown art shop.

Wow! A glass blown art shop! What kind of art was in this glass blown shop?

This is the kind oof place that scares the hell out of me, but it's kind of like skydiving,,, just going inside,,, well, the danger really intigues me.

The danger of skydiving intrigued me too… then I did it.

Scared the hell out of me.


So I did it again, just to say that I could… just as scary the second time.

"Must not bump into anything"
"Must not bump into ,,,, "

<crash>…
“Must not bump into anything again”

The cool centerpiece was a glass blown craft of the Cinderella Castle.
It was just HUGE,,, and could have been mine for,,,,
I'm trying to remember,,, but I think the price was
35,000! dollars.

Who would buy something like that? I mean even if you had that kind of cash to spend?

“Hi! Come on in! You can hang your coat over there in the closet. Kitchen’s at the other end of the house, bathroom 2nd door on the right, Cinderella castle 1st door on the left. Make yourself at home and I’ll get us something to drink.”

Then I fly landed on top of the castle;

I pointed it out to Smidgy,, it was just sitting there, on the top of the castle;

I started rolling up my park map and times guide:

And Smidgy screamed!

That’s hilarious! Oh to be a fly on the wall for that one.

Well out of reach of your rolled up map, of course.

it's so much fun to watch her face as she tries so hard to keep the unsteerable car straight.

Yeah, they’re cute at that age, aren’t they?

Pooh was next,

Really, as much as we all love details. That’s probably a bit too much information.

There will also be a Little Mermaid ride,, but I saw a YOu tube of it at Disneyland, and it doesn't seem like anything special to me.

I’ll sort of disagree with you there. I will agree that it probably won’t be special to you and me… but it’s classic Disney. Updated with modern animatronics, sure, but still classic. People, especially the little ones, love those kinds of rides. I’m glad they’re not going completely away from rides like that.

Rivit.

Rivit.

"No, Little Mermaid I said, not Princess and the Frog."

Rivit.

Good one.

Our longes wait ever, was in '94 with the kids, before fastpasses, and in JUne the park was packed and we waited 55 minutes exactly to ride Splash,

90 minutes for Space Mtn back in 77. I don’t think there even were touring plans yet. Coulda used one.

,, I was using the cool, new, stopwatch feature on my new Timex.

Man, what a great watch it was back then:
Dustproof, scratchproof, anti-magnet proof, rustproof, tarnishproof, water-resistant and water proof to 100 fathoms,, virtually indestructable!

I lost it

Well of course you did. Isn’t that the fate of all those kinds of watches? Right now it’s sitting on the bottom of Seven Seas Lagoon going:

567648734 seconds in line…
567648735 seconds in line…
567648736 seconds in line…
Gawd is he ever going to get there???
567648737 seconds in line…

But even today,,, I'm still wearing the almost exact same thing,, this one is about 12 years old, but it never comes off.

Ditto. I’ve replaced the watch band several times… but not the watch.

The spring, 2012 virgin:

Smidgy’s gonna be angry that you spilled that little secret.
So I guess all your kids are adopted, huh?

I mean,,, the spring, 2012 VERSION;

Oh, nevermind.

and of course,,, your's truly:

(now, Laura and Ponzi are already looking at that line and thinking,, hmm,, yours Fooly? no,, yours, unruly? no, Yours, Cooly? Heavens, no. )

Noted, duly. But I don’t want to be a stoolie so I’ll just sit here and eat my Muesli.
Absolutely.

Oh,,, one thing I noticed on Splash,,, as hot as it was, they had turned off the water canons that shoot off into the boats going into the mountain just as a boat comes down the shoot.

I think I knew that sub-consciously… but never really thought about it ‘till now. Of course there’s water cannons.

Nuttin'- not a little bitty squirt, Kurt.

Nothing,,, not even a little bitty "spritz", Fritz.

((HELP, please stop me,, if I do one more I'm going to be doing it until the sun comes up tomorrow.))

Not even a little bitty spray, Jay.
Not even a little bitty jet, Brett.
Not even a little bitty piddle, from the little biddy in the middle.

Right after the pics in the rocking chairs it started to drizzle a bit,

Not even a little bitty drizzle for your fa-chizle…
Sorry, didn’t know we were done.

so we headed on over to Columbia Harbour House for an early lunch.

Or a late breakfast.

They should give that a name! I know, they can call it…

Lunfast.

she got a side
of broccoli!

I moved to another table.
And sat with some Brazillian soccer playing Pop Warner Tour Groups instead.

I would too. If it’d been Brussels sprouts, I would’ve moved to a different country.

But when it comes to food, the only thing green that tastes ok, is iceberg lettuce and peas,,,, early, sweet peas to be specific,,, the rule with peas is, are?, the darker the green,, the less you wantem. I take it back,,, there's a third thing green that's also edible;
relish.
but that's it.

Mint ice cream’s already been mentioned.
Lime jello
Pickles
Green grapes
Kiwi fruit

and look at the last four letters of broccoli,, thank you, I rest my case.

Nah. I knew some people that had a coli. Nice dog. Very friendly.

should you ever want to split a meal,, the shrimp basket is definately the way to go.

And provided there’s sufficient sunlight to ascertain said shrimp are properly shelled.

Neither one of us finished our meals, and I even helped with hers.

That makes sense.
“Whoa. I am completely full. Couldn’t eat another bite. I couldn’t finish my meal no matter how much I’d want to…. What? You’re not going to finish yours? Pass it over.”

one more picture though,,, at least this girl was willing to take it, but she was the one that just had to turn th camera sideways,,, so we'll see how this turns out.

Turned out pretty darned well I’d say.

I sashayed when I should have swayed;
I swizzled when I should have twizzled;

Well there’s your first mistake. You don’t sashay to a pool, you saunter. You sashay at the pool.

Had a nice couple hours at the pool.
I was able to help out Katniss a couple times,, and a couple times she didn't want my help.
But the sun was draining us, and I was wishing my book was waterproof.

Get a kindle. Oh, wait. That’d just cost you more.

Or shockproof

Get a kindle. Oh, wait…

Or anti

There. You could use it to beat him to death with.

I knew there was a reason.

Around 3 I am

3 I am! Wow that’s late!

once again trudging to the ice machine, and back.

Okay, now you can sashay.

I wonder how many times I did that trip while we were there.

I had a CM stalking you and keeping track.
16.4 times.

Ok, what was that? Freudian slip? Got MLK?

Sometimes your brain just goes off and gets the brest of you.

Best.

But we took a couple drinks down to there and sat a the same table we did a lot on that trip and just talked.

Doesn’t it seem like sometimes that’s such a hard thing to find the time for?

And I reminded her on how LOUD that speaker was right behind our chairs, and, well,,, I just had to do it, I could NOT resist just now....................

Oh, no. You didn’t…

nobody was sitting too close to us,,, the pool at least on our side was mostly empty,,,,,

I had to , just HAD to, try to imitate the very beginning notes to "Kung Foo Fighting"!

You did.

It's really not that easy to do,, a kind of "background type of sound without real words,,,, " Oh- o - o- OHHHH, Oh-o-o-ohhh,"

Well, as I"m warbling out these strange 8 notes, a guy walks into the pool deck area from behind me, right past our table in a kind of hurry.

I was already turning red but he kept walking.
Then he stopped.

Turning around briefly, he looked at us and said,
"Kung Foo Fighting" , turned back around and was back on his way.

Now that’s funny! Love it!

I felt like an idiot,

Nothing new here. Moving on.

,, however,,, Diane had just started to say something like, "I have no idea what your are TRYING to do,," when he did the "vouchsafe" thing for me.

You would’ve had to add the HUH! In between the Oh- o- o- OHHHHs.

MK you have to be a tad more careful with,,, got Sunny D's,,, once again,,, those same little bottles with the comples are going back with us,,, and yes,,, when the door closed for good,, got the same "sipper' plastic cups with us too for the bus wait.

And I’m sure you gave Smidgy the cup that the family of spiders was born in.

I 'd invite you to join us on our trip back to the MK,, but I"m afraid I can't,,,it's Tuesday, remember? The deadest day of the week at MK.

It was SRO on the bus!

That’s okay. I’ll meet you there. Thanks for the chapter! :

REALLY? ponzie, MUSt you encourage him?

I never heard that before in my life.

you 2 are just TOO weird. if you ever meet . and shake hands, will the universe explode or something ?

 

[Backstage_Gal]

I never heard that before in my life.

you 2 are just TOO weird. if you ever meet . and shake hands, will the universe explode or something ?

LOL, if they do, I want to be there!!

BTW, regarding flies in Florida, we don't have them (or rarely). We have all kinds of critters, but house flies, not so much.


PS: And I am not complaining about that fact, among the most annoying creatures on earth!

 

[pkondz]

REALLY? ponzie, MUSt you encourage him?

I must.

I never heard that before in my life.

I'm so happy I could assist you in your education.

you 2 are just TOO weird. if you ever meet . and shake hands, will the universe explode or something ?

Nah. Nothing so dramatic. It'll just cease to exist.

LOL, if they do, I want to be there!!

PS: And I am not complaining about that fact, among the most annoying creatures on earth!

The only reason there's no flies is because they all get eaten by all the other critters... and they get eaten by bigger critters... eventually you get up to gators.

 

[monymony3471]

Laura, don't forget,,, everybody had to have a rocking chair picture taken, don't forget.
Mony Mony almost drowned the last time trying to get that picture taken,,, but she came through!

Anything for you Nebo!

 

[margymas]

Hey Pkondz. The best name for the late breakfast/early lunch thing comes from one of the first few Lord of the Rings movies (can't quite remember which one). The Hobbits refer to this particular meal as "Eleven-sies". Ya gotta love Hobbits.

 

[nebo]

All I really have to say is 2 new chapters and all has gone well. No falling over, no blood and guts, no crashing into expensive castles. Nothing. Come on Nebo, work with me here. Where's all the gore, the action, the tossing of yellow jackets into the water moccasin infested pool, beating granny to a pulp cuz she cut you off with her motor scooter. I need material to finish Mr. Vicodin Guy. I don't know how I can work broccoli and one dog night into the song.

Of course you know I'm just kidding right? RIGHT?! I'm sure I can find a way to add the sipper in. Great job as always.

You might have to hang on there a bit before we get to any bloodloss there, Thumper man,,, I"m doing my best, but it doesn't always happen that way.

Nebo, have you ever seen the movie "The Grifters" with John Cusack and Angelica Huston? No spoilers here, but let's just say it comes to a tragic end. All I'm saying is, please stay out of the glass store.



As for the water cannons on Splash Mountain, I have a confession to make. (Bless me Fr. Nebo, for I have sinned). When our DD was little, she was relatively fearless. She watched the logs coming down the mountain at DL and said she wanted to go on. Where the water splashes up, it looks like the log disappears under water. I told her she could go on if she could hold her breath when the log did the submarine dive. I thought she knew I was just kidding, but the poor thing actually held her breath when we went downhill. Lucky she didn't pass out. Let's just say that's another round of therapy we paid for to help her get over her childhood traumas. <"Tell me how this made you feel."

Love the "vouchsafe" on Kung Foo Fighting!

yep, that little SM trick sounds like you got fastpasses for long term therapy for her. But with the Couches in Wonderland you get 15 percent off.

Mine was when my DD was about 4. She was told to put her toys away in her room, and I just HAD to say, "And don't even think about stuffing everything under your bed!" She said, "Why not?" and I said, "If all your toys are there, where will the monsters sleep?"

Sometimes I say stuff just to amuse myself. This one bit me in the butt, big time.

Yep, that will work too, see above.

On her first trip to WDW, probably later that same year, we made the mistake of taking her on Mr. Toad for her very first Disney ride ever. Poor kid. She came out and said, "Do NOT even take me on anything else that's dark, or where things jump out at you." She's a senior in college now and she STILL won't go on anything that's dark, or where things jump out at you.

Fortunately, we only ever had the one kid.

Now that's funny! I"m picturing Harry Callahan standing off to the side saying, "A man's got to know his limitations!"

Edited to add: I too think of RigLee now & then. Maybe they have a little mollusk named Matchbox.

Yeah, that would be cute,,,, I used to collect all those matchbox cars when i was little, but they really weren't supposed to be toys, but collectables.

Lines like this are just one of the many things I love about your Trip Reports.

Sharon is talking I believe about how I need Smidgy to tell me if I liked something or not, unfortunately, what started out as a cute little gimmick,,, is now turning into,,, "No,,, I"M SERIOUS,,, WHAT THE HECK WAS IT? "

Once again I come late the the Nebo TR party. Better late than never...Time to get caught up!

If I recall,,, you were warned, but good to see you again.
You're just mad at me cuz Maggs had to retire and you can't laugh at us anymore for letting him go.

But,,,, it's gonna be an interesting second half, I believe,, time to take Cabrera out for the night, drinking,,,, I'll buy.

Nebo, that glass shop scares me to death! DD always wants to go in and look and I find myself afraid to breathe in there for fear of suddenly "owning" an expensive broken piece.

Yes, it w ould be bad enough owning fan expensive "perfectly normal' piece,,, but haveing to buy and own an expensive "broken" piece, would break my heart,,, and my wallet.

I have gradually been won over to broccoli.
Broccoli doesn't win you over.
It infects you.
I have had broccoli in one,, I repeat, ONE, incarnation that wasn't too disgusting,, in fact,,, it wasn't bad,,, and that was in soup form, "cream af Broccoli."

A few fews back I wouldn't touch it, but I have to come to enjoy steamed broccoli. In fact, I, like Smidgy, have ordered it as my side at CHH though usually with the grilled salmon. The first time I ordered it, it was terrific.

Thanks for the post my veggie lovin friend.

Main street bakery and looking at the glass blowing place is our first day at mk ritual. While the others are running for rides...we take our time and make it to Pirates and its still a walk on, and this is for Thanksgiving holidays. I saw yall at POP a couple of Thanksgivings ago...will yall be going back this year?

Oh Jillybeene,,,, there is also a chance of that happening too,,,, but we'll be staying at CBR, not Pop,,,, the free dining is calling again.

The best part of that video is the very end where you can hear Nebo say "I know, I'm a dork." !!!!!

Is that right? You making this up? Ok, guess I gotta go back and listen to it now.
but it does sound like something I'd say.
I told Ponzi I'm having a tough time keeping up with all the reports and such,, and he said he'd help me out by writing my dialogue for me,,,, you think maybe that's not such a good idea?

I think we all have our "creating therapy" moments with our kids. My problem is that I usually laugh at inappropriate stuff my son says/does instead of doing the good Mom thing and making him behave. Its turned him into a really funny, very sarcastic teenager - which my hubby and I love since we're both super sarcastic too... maybe being a "bad" Mom has worked out for me after all.

There you go,,, the game is all in the head.

I know this was mentioned before,,, but since we're sharing,,, younger son Jeremy was in potty training when we spent every weekend up at the marina where our boat was, and while he had most of the procedure down,,, he did NOT get the "self-wipe" thing yet,,, and he would just sometimes disappear into the Nasty, Nasty porta potty and do his thing.

problem was,,, he sometimes went in there un announced.
or sometimes we just plain forgot he was in there.

But in there he would stay, yelling,,, "Wipe Me,,,, WIIIIIIIPE MEEEE",, until somebody came and did just that.

One day it hit 100,,,, OUTSIDE the portapotty,,, when Diane walked by and heard the plaintive plea for survival,
Wiiiiiiiiipe meeeeeeeeeee.

He hasn't been the same since!
