D-Day Invasion- "Strange"-ly Imminent!! TRIP REPORT IS UP!!

I'd say so!!! :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Do you think people will question why you are bringing a camera into the bathroom?

I always have mine around my neck/chest. Although I flip the camera to the back when I step foot in a bathroom. ::yes::


You said it.... popcorn::popcorn:: :rolleyes1:rolleyes1

1) I've heard that really bad things happen sometimes during an infarc event.

2) Hmmm... I hadn't thought of that. I'll bet Larry Craig might have something to say about that.

3) Now that's a suggestion I could live with. Maybe I need to pick up a lanyard!!! :idea: You're the winner on "let's save 7's camera".
 
Liesa-
I know you were asking people if they wanted you to take pictures of any certain thing while you were in Disney. I was just thinking, if you remember, can you take pictures of what the construction looks like near Toontown/Fantasyland? I was just curious what it looked like over there.


I don't know why this just popped into my head... but it did! :rolleyes1
 
That Ball of Wax has a way with reassuring you!!!:rotfl2:Glad you found it and again have faith in mankind !!!!

I think maroo should carry it !!!:lmao:

She is full of odd and weird commentary- even more so than me.

I'm thinking I"m going the lanyard route.

OF COURSE I can do this!! I need to sign off now, grab a cup of coffee and do some Trip related stuff before we head out to dinner. I'll write it in my book right now!!

ALSO!!!!!!!!

THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!! Tim, if you have time, would you do me a really big favor??

A lot of folks are new here, and might want to put in a last minute guess(es) for that game Master Predictor. I think it'd be fun to include them too.

Can you go back (don't spend a lot of time) and find that and repost it? Answers should be PMd to me, not put in the thread. I'll clear out my box to make room. I'll change my title later tonight.

THANKS!!
 

I am baffled as to how China's economy has grown like it has by making garbage??

Because we Americans love our carp! :rotfl:


Regardless - I am not worried at all about the storms for our trip anymore - things look good for now and we are now 2 sleeps away!!!

What do you think Friday will be for the East coast? Worried about hubby and flying out Friday night....

Just called out there!!

THEY HAVE IT!!! :worship::woohoo::worship::woohoo::worship:

It will mean 40 minutes each way to get it, but that's certainly cheaper than $100 to get a new one!!

I have a renewed hope in mankind.

:cool1::cool1::cool1: I'm SO happy to hear this! Yay, yay, yay! Your Disney magic has started two days before the trip! :banana:

I am really sad that I caused her such an inconvenience!! Lesson learned? Never pee. No, no, that won't do at all. Hmm.... I know if I put it in my back pocket, it's likely to fall in the water.

Any suggestions??

Are you wearing a fanny pack?

I always have mine around my neck/chest. Although I flip the camera to the back when I step foot in a bathroom. ::yes::

T.M.I.!!! :scared1: :lmao:

The lanyard idea is a good one actually...I wear ours around our neck too. Plus, if you don't have a lanyard already Liesa, it just gives an excellent excuse to buy one at Disney! :laughing:

Going to search now!
 


This was posted a while ago, but thought that since we have so many new readers since we played, I'd put it up again. For those of you who've already sent your answers- GREAT! For those of you who haven't, there's still time to play.

Just PM your answers to me ASAP!!!


******************************************

In order to keep our troops trained and ready, it’s time for some more war games! The Officer’s Club, that is this thread, needs a little CPR lately, and some fun and games are just the ticket to breathe new life into it (read: Where have all the lurkers gone??)-Think of it as kind of like Bing Crosby hitting the field camps with a little song and dance to perk up the troops. So, let’s jazz up this joint with an amusing diversion as an interlude between the halves of the Plans of Attack.

Here’s how it works:

You’re going to play the part of “Master Predictor”. And, although you need to get your guesses in by the end of this month, you won’t actually know the answers until we get back. In fact, NONE of The Belle Battalion will even know the answers, because the answers will be happening as we enjoy our Week O’ Freedom. A few things you can probably make some pretty good educated guesses about, but other questions are completely random. Of course, we’ll be having way too much fun to worry about who guessed what, so we won’t skew the results- I promise!

Now, grab a piece of paper and a pencil, and get your thinking caps on. When you’re ready just post your answers. If you WANT to, you can PM them to me, but that’s not necessary. In fact, since it is almost totally just guessing, you don’t even have to add the extra step of whiting out your answers.

And of course, AS ALWAYS there will be fabulous prizes for those who stick it out and hang in there. (I apologize to those of you who won the last game, I still have not done my shopping yet for those wonderful prizes, but I promise, they WILL be on their way soon!)

Here we go:

1) Which building will we end up getting at POP? 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, or 90s?

2) Will we really end up watching the EWP?

3) What color will our first monorail be?

4) How many times will we ride EE? Toy Story? Soarin’? and Splash Mountian?

5) Will LeeAnn make it on time for our ‘Ohana dinner?

6) How many new accessories will Tate O’ Patty end up getting from Once Upon a Toy?

7) How many adult beverages will Liesa actually order and consume?

8 Who will be our very first character we take our picture with?

9) How many rope drops will we really get to?

10) Will we get Halloween decorations or not?

11) Will Liesa get 5, 10, 15, or 20 pictures of fountains (closest number)

12) Which building will we get at the Poly? (do your research)

13) Yes or No? Will we be upgraded at any of our resorts

14) How many of the planned snacks on Liesa’s list will she get? (Go back to Pt. 1 of the PTR and check those out!)

15) Of these CS places that we plan on getting to, which one would we throw out? Pecos? Starring Rolls? Tangierine Café?

16) Which color of teacup will we take a spin on?

17) Will we make it to all of the following? Hoop de Doo, Yeehaw Bob AND Jellyrolls?

18) How many of our 13 days will it rain?

19) This one had to be dumped because the answer was revealed.

20) Will Liesa find and photograph at least 15 Hidden Mickeys??

There you go. PM me your answers numbered with the answer- you know, just try to make it sorta legible and understandable. I am simple and need things easy. Answers are due by Thursday night! . Good luck!!!

The day before checklist- that would be tomorrow. But will most likely knock off a whole bunch tonight. We'll see...

1) Shave. (Yes, first things first.)

2) Do my self-pedi. Any guesses on what color I'm going with??

3) Retreive camera from G. Washington's ancestral home. Does anyone else find it sorely ironic that he was our first general?

4) Finish tip envelopes. Almost done.

5) Finish cutting out Mickey heads. 20 left.

6) Finish "guest book" for the door.

7) Finish back sides of itinerary pages. Almost done.

8) Do last load of laundry.

9) Re-pack.

10) Attach ME tags. Done.

11) Post last pre-trip thoughts.

12) Write a few thank you notes (dentist who saw my son for free) Now I need to mail them.

13) Program phone numbers into cell phone.

14) Call Maroo one last time. Once.

15) Take a Unisom and still stay up all night because of pre-trip excitement.

It will be fun to "scratch them off" in red as I do them tomorrow! Follow along with me as the story unfolds.
 
Women usually know right where to go.





and if we don't, we ask for directions. ;)



See above.




For me, that would be either the bathtub or Starbucks.

I'm with you on both -- love my "solitary" bathtub time with a nice glass of wine and my candles going; and I LOVE Starbucks.

YES!! Candles for sure! And a bomb.

I know Glenn has some wise crack about shaving for the first time this summer or something. Not. I have been very diligent this year.

Nope, not lime green.
 
Number one is totally on my list, too. :laughing: Is it a bit sad that we have to LIST it?

lol


Ok...Are WE riding Splash Mountain?!??! :scared1::scared1::scared1:

HA!

You are going to have to call me more than once.....I got a question for you already. Packing is bring up a lot of questions. :cool2:

You forgot to write "feet".

No, not at all! I thought it would sound like corduroy when you walked, but it didn't.
 
So how was dinner on the swanky private island?

I'm so glad that someone turned in your camera - I was so bummed for you when I read you lost it! Glad you still have your limbs as well!! :lmao:

Pedi - I'm going to say red - only because that is what I'd probably do! :lmao:
 
In case I miss you on Wednesday...

Safe travels and I am doing my hurricane go east dance.
Catch up with you soon. ( You can text if you can't call. :))

DUH!! Of course wer'e riding Splash!! Did I miss something? Why did you ask?

Yes, it's sad. But, I always split a gut when Mrs. the King wrote about her unwanted body hair.

OK, I'll call in the AM.

You forgot to write "feet".



No, not at all! I thought it would sound like corduroy when you walked, but it didn't.

See!! I knew it. :lmao::lmao: You probably thought you'd hear a swish from my arm flabbies too, but didn't. :lmao:


Yeah, exactly.

We ended up at a swanky pizza place in DC proper. I had olives, capers, eggplant ragu and mozzarella pizza- and I tell you, I 'bout died and gone to heaven. Until I got on the scale tonight. THen I about went to the toilet to throw up. :scared1:

I'd have never heard the end of it from my other stingier half.

Nope not red either.

In case I miss you on Wednesday...

Safe travels and I am doing my hurricane go east dance.
Catch up with you soon. ( You can text if you can't call. :))

Yes!! we should both dance this one together! I want NONE of that hurricane action anywhere near the motherland. Nor my flight path.
